BOOK NOTES.

Colonel Roosevelt and Commander
Peary are both brought to mind by Ed

the Harpers "a Hunters Camp Fires. y
Mr.. House, in his hunt for game, has
been over much of the African ground
where Colonel Roosevelt is now a hunt

arctic regions where Captain Peary has
been so long at home. 1t was on the
occasion of one of his Greenland shoot

lief expedition which was sent to aid
Peary in 1899.
Gelett Burgess, not content with
having coined two words which have
stuck" has, in his recent novel. Lady
Mechanic published by Frederick A.
Stokes Company, given us two more adj
ditions to the vocabulary of modern
slang. A "blurb" is, as Mr.. Burgess
defines it, "a noise like a publisher, .
and to "blurb" is Ito push a book with
fulsome praise" We are familiar
enough with publishers 'blurbs" to
need no further description, and the
advertisements printed on the paper
Jackets of the "best-sellers'' nova
days almost Guido the praise which
for his novel To ''smagg'' will, un-
doubtedly, be a more popular word.
Haulick Smagg of Lady Mechanic fur
nishes the prototype, a sort of grown
up coop" guilty OF all sorts or Grass
solecisms. He "smaggs' his dinner,
wiping his mouth on the back of his
hand; he "smaggs" uncouthly into a
room, and he manifests countless other
forms of "smaggery." The word
''smagg'' is likely to be used longer and
more widely than 'blurb.'' though each
fills useful place in the language.
One o. + most widely discussed
novels of the year is Robert Kitchens
Bella Donna and, judging from the
favorable opinions of the leading
critics, and by the sales, it is destined
to become the greatest success yet ac-
corded a novel from the pen of this
noted author. Since the publication of
the novel last October it has been con-
tinuously among the six best selling
novels both in England and the United
States, and a fourth large edition is
just off the presses of J. B. Lippincott
Company, the American publishers, and
a fifth edition is printing.
Messrs. Harper & Brothers announce
that arrangements have been made
with Mr.. Charles Dillingham; for light
opera version of the famous Du Maurier
novel, .sTrilby." This is the first au-
thoritative news of musical "Trilby,' -
about which rumors have hitherto been
idly current that it was destined for
grand opera The time for the new
production has not yet been set beyond

WOULD ABOLISH
COMMITTEE
Thinks Clubs Committee on
Investigation is I'm
practicable.

L. H. Breese, of the Breese- Web
Der company, is not in favor of the
commercial clubs committee of in
vestigation that was appointed to
look into the merits of stock selling
schemes.
He has two reasons for thinking
so. One is that legitimate schemes
need no such investigation, as the
banks and big investors can take
care of themselves without assist
ance, and what does not interest them
is not good enough for the small in
vestors.
The other reason Is, the CONNER
cial Club is liable to become en-
tangled in embarrassing situations by
standing sponsor in some cases. A
stranger may have good scheme,
meritorious in every way, but be-
cause of mismanagement, sickness,
domestic troubles, etc., the scheme
may be neglected even though the
committee is satisfied of it's worth.
Mr.. Weber is a member of one
committee that was appointed to in
vestigate the merits of a stock pro-
position that is, or soon will be,

PUMPING PLANT IS
SUCCESSFUL
Rev. A. B. Peters Irrigates
Thirteen Acres With
Two Horsepower.

Rev. A. B. Peters has a pumping
plant at Sunnyslope which is work
ing very successfully and with which
he is very much pleased. With 2
horsepower motor he irrigates 13
acres of land and raises the water
100 feet, carrying it through pipe
784 feet long. Mr.. Peters states
that he has plenty of water and at
the present time is only using the
water through the daytime. He be-
lieves that by using night and day
he will never need more than is be-
ing pumped by this 2 horsepower
motor. His pipe is IL inches in
side and the pump is a Duplex.

HUGHES FOR CHIEF
JUSTICE
Seems to Be Presidents
Choice to Succeed
Justice Fuller.

Beverly. Mass, July S.-That
Governor Charles E. Hughes, already
confirmed as associate justice of the
supreme court in succession to the
late justice Brewer, will succeed Mel
vile w. Fuller as chief justice Of
that, tribunal is practically assured
here tonight.
President Taft has not altogether
made up his mind. He declared upon
his arrival here this evening that he
had no time to think about the mat
ter yet The attitude Of the presi-
dent toward Governor Hughes, how
ever, is well known. His words to
Governor Hughes when he rendered
him the appointment as justice come
back with force and significance now.
You are at the turning point of
your career" said the president. I'm
other words the justiceship; probably
the chief justiceship of the most ex-
allied tribunal in the world
The president may change his
mind, but if he were compelled to
act tonight or tomorrow, Hughes
would be designated as chief justice.
And it is altogether likely that when
the time comes to act, the president
will still be of the same mind.
This much is certain; the new
chief justice will not be selected from
among the remaining justices on the
bench. When Hughes was named to
succeed Justice Brewer, the presi-
dent pointed out that the new JUS
tice, in all possibility, would serve
full 20 years on the bench before
reaching the age of retirement. 1t
can also be said positively that no
appointment of a justice to succeed
Fuller will be made until congress
meets in December.

that can be done by neglecting the
one-tree orchards is plain.
Last spring the city council talk
ed of sending out a spraying outfit
and something of the sort was done,
but nothing of a thorough nature.
The only purpose that the trees with
wormy apples serve, is the purpose
ofspreading the moth to the big or

In many instances these occasional
trees are not deemed worthy of the
bother incident to spraying, and the
codling moth finds a fruitful field for
operations in them.
Mr.. Porter has had his attention
called to a number of trees with ap-
pies showing the worm holes. In
view of the fact that every worm in
creases about twenty fold the harm

"Mr. Paddock is we'll impressed
with regard to pears and prunes and
makes the further observation that
he is convinced that the northwest

eastern buyer wants the fruit in

Local Aeries Plan for Amateur
Entertainment at Valencia
Theater

While the "Chanticleer' is arousing
Paris with its dramatic ability, the
Eagles of San Francisco are preparing
for something quite as uproarious, if
not more SO. Aerie No. 81 is planning
to give an amateur show at the Va
lencia theater early in June. under the
direction of Harry w. Overman of Chi
cago, who recently presented an Eagles
show in Oakland.
There are more than 5000 Ea giles in
the San Francisco aerfvs No. and No.
81, and they are ali lining up behind
the big show. This will be the first
performance ever given by No. 81, aud
the members of the aerie are positive
that it Avill be the best amateur show
ever given. The talent committee, of
which Charles r. A. Creighton is chair
man, is now selecting the men who will
take part in the show. The first re-
hearsal is called for tomorrow night at
the Eagles hall in Market street.
The two lodges of Eagles in San
Francisco contain some of the best
known men in the city. Nearly all of
the county officials are members of one
or the other aerie.
