STOLEN TROUSERS COST s5OC
AND Then The Majesty Of the Law in
California Was Only Upheld
in Small Degree.

puzZling problem crops up every
now and then in various parts OF the
country 10 vex the majesty of the
law. 1t came up not long ago in Oak
land with new feature added. Brief
iy the facts are these, relates the Los
Angeles Examiner.
Some time ago youth stole a pair
OF trousers hanging in an old tent.
For this he was arrested, convicted,
put on probation and confided to the
care of a family in Berkeley. While
absent at work the house was quar-.
antined by the board of health on ac-
count Of scarlet fever. Unable to en-
ter his home, the boy eloped with
himself To other scenes, finally turn
ing up in Florida Upon hearing OF
his whereabouts the sheriff of Alameda
was dispatched in hot haste to bring
the desperate villain back to the scene
of his awful crime against the peace,
dignity and wardrobe of the state
Here endeth the first chapter.
Chapter II is really narrowing Re-
turning with the desperate in his GUS
tody, and nearing the end of the long
transcontinental journey, the sheriff
engaged in a prolonged discussion of
sunspots and other phenomena with a
lawyer on the train ana became so ex.
hausted after the weighty delibera-
tons that he fell into a profound slum-
Der. When he awoEe in the morning
1t was to discover that the youthful
prisoner had again clipped ir the night,
somewhere between this city and San
Francisco. And as reported in Oak
land, the villain added injury to in
suit by clipping with the officers own
Sunday breeches.
The trousers first stolen were worth
S161 1t cost Alameda county more
than $500 to accomplish the recovery
Of the desperate who stole the pants,
and the sheriff got him only three
fourths back az that And now comes
the VeXing problem:
II pair of secondhand pants cost
Alameda county $500, what would a
whole new suit cost?

One of the latest substitutes for the
ordinary life preserver is a curious
device which, when extended for use,
has shape resembling that of a
bowling pin. 1t is intended to be en-

case keeps the user entirely dry, but
it is said that its buoyancy is so great

Bo Copied For the Lawn.
There Is a beautiful curtain OF hang
ing vines, stretching from one tree to
another I'm a certain country place. 1t
Is tho outgrowth OF years, but 1t could
be easily copied on smaller scale by
any one who has patience.
The curtain I'm question hangs from
two old elm trees which stand about
twenty feet apart. Virginia creeper
Is trained to grow up the trunk Of the
two trees to- n height Of about fifteen
feet, and then 1t Is trained along q
strong wire fastened from one treo to
tho other.
Tho long tendrils of the creeper have
grown many feet, and they hang down
and intertwine until now they form q
curtain, thick aud strong, which
reaches to within few feet Of the
ground.
This curtain would make n satisfac-
tory substitute for conventional
hedge I'm some situations. 1t could be
copied with one OF the thick growing
annual vines, like hop or canary bird
vine or balloon vine. Such curtain
could be trained to hang on one end
Of sunny porch or veranda.
or course the vines forming IL would
need gentle urging The soil in which
they are rooted should be rich and
fine. and the vines should be scrupu.
lously watered.

London, Sept. S.--Addi;ional par.
uculars were received here this morn.
ing about the loss OF the British lisht
cruiser Pathfinder. which was blown
up by German mine In the North
sea of the Scottish coast.
The Pathfinder was fast cruiser OF
about 5000 tons. About $50 oi hcr
crew were killed or drowned IN the
disaster. AS the vessel was close To
the Scotch coast at the time OF tile
accident II would appear that Ger.
many has scattered floating mines y.
along the British coast. This is oe.
lieved To have been done by fishing
boats.
A message received in London
states that in addition to the motor
lifeboat several steam drifters hurried
To the spot where the Pathfinder sank.
and adds that IL is learned on reliable
authority that the captain OF the Path.
finder and fifty or sixty of his crew
were saved.
About ninety of the crew OF the
Pathfinder. dead and wounded, were
TO hospital at the naval base.
The skipper OF a trawler. who wit.
messed the blowing up of the Path.
finder from a distance of less than
three miles, said:
Il was on deck and the men below
getting a meal when our vessel was
suddenly shaken. I turned In the di.
rection OF the report and saw the
cruiser in a perpendicular position
amidst fountain OF smoke. water and
steam. Her stern was uppermost. She
poised thus only for a moment and
then came another explosion and the
Pathfinder was practically blown to
atoms. She went down I'm less than
four minutes from the time she struck
the mine.
I'VE picked up all the survivors we
could find and then remained a long
time searching amid the wreckage. So
terrific was the explosion that only
one piece OF wreckage was found
large enough to support the weight of
q man."
The devastating effect OF the ex-
plosion is emphasized In the report OF
Coxswain Nisbet of the Saint Abbs
motor lifeboat. He says that for a
mile and half the water was strewn
with wreckage of every conceivable
description. There were few of the
pieces that were larger than a mans
leg. In the midst OF the debris he
found floating a ships Bible and extra
ordinary collections OF personal
articles from the cabins in the interior
OF the ship.
