BIG CALIFORNIA i: UNES. Half of Those Who InherWc* Thein \re Penniless. California has long had a reputation as the home of the bonanza king, and a recently issued document, based on the records of the San Francisco probate court, tells an interesting story of the contests and entanglements which have massed about the last testament of many famous millionaires and the final dispo sition of the vast sums they left behind them. The document gives the history of 53 wills, disposing of $175,000,000. About 400 heirs divided that vast sum, and today nearly half of that number are penniless again, and only a few have succeeded in adding to their in heritance. The average number of persons pro Tided for in each will was ten, though in a number of instances, the most not able of which was the case of Florence Blythe, the entire estates passed into the hands of single heirs. The compar atively small estate of Kate Johnson, which was appraised at $1,250,000, reached more heirs than any other, the number on the list being 25, while the $4,000,000 of Thomas Blythe went to the one child, Florence, after a celebrat ed trial. The estate of Maria Coleman was valued at $1,757,000, and it went equally to three heirs. Charles Crock er's $22,000,000 reached six persons, while Mary Ann Crocker's $11,883,657 went sbare and share alike to four of the sis who got Charles Crocker's larger fortune. Peter Donahue's $3,708,312 went in equal parts to three heirs. Mrs. Theresa Fair's $4,693,250 went to three persons —Charles L. Fair, Miss Virginia -Fair and Mrs. Herman Oelrichs—while Wil liam P. Fuller distributed his $1,771, 262 to seven persons of his name. Emanuel Goldstein's $1,000,000 went to six heirs. George Hearst's $8,788,137 went in equal parts to his wife and son, while Walter g. Hobart's $5,273,366 went in thirds to his three children— Walter Hobart, Miss Ella Hobart and Mrs. Winthrop Lester. Mary Hopkins' $20,694,762 went to two persons. Rob ert C. Johnson's $1,910,550 went to 11 persons in almost equal portions. There are a few exceptions to the general course of estates, as in the case of Lick and Stanford. The $5,000,000 of the Lick estate went chiefly to one heir and to a number of trusts of a pub lic nature created before James Lick's death. Charles McLaughlin left his $2,476,000 to his widow, while Alexan der Montgomery's $2,356,845 went to three heirs. Daniel T. Murphy's $2, 041,670 went to six heirs. William S. O'Brien's $9,655,450 reached eight per sons. James Phelan left an even mil lion, which reached four persons in shares and a number of small bequests. A. J. Pope's $1,660,000 reached four heirs. Washington Ryer left $1,276,398 to 15 persons. Leland Stanford's $17, 688,319 went to four persons and the trust for the university.—Denver Field and Farm. Samples. Careful inquiry at the leading dry goods stores in this city shows that but few of them give samples indiscrimi' nately nowadays. All of them prefer to send samples by mail. The average cus tomer who asks for samples is requested to leave her name and address and the goods will be forwarded to her. This is especially the case if she wants what is called a "line of samples"—that is, pattern upon pattern of the same style and species. Every big shop employs its fifties of persons whose duty it is to at tend to nothing save the cutting and sending of samples. "We never spend less than $2,500 a year in goods to be cut up for samples, said the mail de partment manager of one firm, "and sometimes the sum is much larger." It is generally understood among dry goods Louses that all samples sent are to be returned. Of course dressmakers are al ways favored with samples, which they are not requested to return nor pass along to their next door neighbor. They are a privileged because remunerative class. The new order of things in the sample line is ,due to the crazy quilt fad, which cost many merchants a lot of money and no end of annoyance. New York Letter. Gave Him Airay.

Telegraph operators have queer ex periences at timet, especially at the lonely railroad stations where travel is light, boors long and the work is done at night. An experience meeting of sailors, so far as the yarn spinning is concerned, is as mild compared to a telegraphers' social session,as milk is to a tar's shore leave. Several knights of the key were sitting about a table down town after hoars recently, when the tongues began to wag about experi ences. Gil Bradley started the ball. "I was sent one night to sub on the Texas and Pacific at a little station called Gordon," he said. "There was one hotel of four rooms a mile from the telegraph station and two or threo cabins about the same distance off. The regular operator had his rooms over the station and freighthouse, where sup plies were received for the coal mines several miles away. It was the loneliest place I ever struck, but I had to work. After fixing things I lay down on a bench to wait for the next freight. 3 suppose I dozed, for I jumped up with a Btart at feeling a cold, wet nose shoved into my face. There was a big New foundland dog wagging his tail as mer rily as a bnzzsaw cuts through soft wood. Well, that dog ran first to the lighted lantern on the door, then back to me, and then pretty soon I began to think something was wrong. Up I got, and he led me all through the freight house, up to the operator's rooms and back to the office then, calmly went to sleep with one eye open and one ear pricked up. I waited for the train, but before I heard it he began to bark. "The next night the same perform ance. Well, after that I used to go tc sleep, and for the week I was there that dog kept watch. You see, the regular was fond of sleep at night, so he could play poker all day. I never told on him,' but that was a well trained dog." "That's no experience," said Billy Marshall. "There was only half athriil in that. Why, in 1888, during the bliz zard, I was holding down a night job in New Jersey. It was the dreariest spot that a railroad official could pick out for a station. It was so quiet in the daytime that you could hear the sun-' light glint and at night the shadows fall. It was snowing when I went on at night, and all trains were blocked, and by morning I was almost buried. My lunch was long ago gone, and I felt like grinding my teeth into some break fast. Dinner time came and went, sup per hour passed, and no relief arrived. I chewed on lead pencils and rubber bands until I felt like a girl bookkeeper. I pulled in my belt and nearly cut my self in two, but the old hunger was there just the same. So I tried to sleep, but there was no sleep in me with that gnawing at my stomach. 'All at once I saw three muskrats come up through a hole in the floor. Muskrat was better than starvation, so I made for them with a poker, killed one, and the others got away to freeze to death. Skinning that fellow and dressing him didn't take long, and with wire I rigged a broiler. You bet your life the smell of that cooking rat was just great joy, and I'm no chink either. It just tickled me so that I fell asleep and only woke up when he was so burned that the odor nearly choked me. "The snowplow came along soon, however, and when I got filled up again I was sort of glad I hadn't put down the old muskrat after, all. He might not have agreed with me. "T-New York Sun. The Science of Smiles. The gentle art of smiling is the latest thing which science has been meddling with, tracing back to its very beginning and pointing out with something like a sneer how this facial expression first came to adorn the face of primeval man. Mr. Edward Cuyer, in a recent lec ture in Paris before the Societe d'An thropologie, stated that our smiles, how ever winning to outward seeming, are simply records of our very remote an cestors' selfishness, greediness and pug nacity. The passion that dominated all others in primitive man was the desire for food. The animals of those days were huge and fierce, and the implements of hunting few and crude. The naked hunter, therefore, was forced to go oft times with an empty stomach, but when he made a kill he gorged, himself With meat. The anticipation of the ap proaching satisfaction of his hunger caused him to open his mouth and show bis teeth, partly through pleasure and partly through an instinctive impulse to get himself in readiness for the im mediate stowing away of his food. With the progress of civilization, however, this facial contortion grew to be caused by other pleasurable things, and then came the sound of audible laughter. The graceful smile of the hostess, therefore, as she receives her guests is merely an inherited expression of satis faction derived from a savage progen itor who anticipated a good time when he had people to dinner—or for dinner. Again, the open smile of more open pleasure is simply a survival of the gap ing mouth with which the semisimian prepared to tackle roast grandmother.— New York Journal. A Producer. "My misguided friend," said the fat man with the puffs under his eyes, 'I will admit that I am a capitalist That part of your assertion can go unchal lenged. But when you say that I am not a producer you are wrong. I have been backing a comic opera company for two months."—Indianapolis Jour nal. /pf\- \x-~y,'^ In It. -".~'-4''* .? In the first chapter of Dickens' "Bleak House," which was published in 1852, the phrase is to be found, and is inclosed in quotation marks, too, as follows, "Every chancellor was *in it' for somebody er other, when he wis counsel at the bar."-"-Boston Tran script fantry has been greatly criticised in re cent years, chiefly as the ground that it exposes the men .toneeoUessdanger by disclosing their whereabouts to. the en emy. The objection taken to the scarlet, however, is groundless, and scientific reasons are -given why the prevailing oolor is for all purposes the most suit able that could be selected. In the first place, scarlet affords the best attainable protection against the extremes of heat and cold to which sol diers are liable to be exposed. The darker the color protecting a warm body the more rapidly radiation proceeds. White Would be the best color to reduce radia tion to a minimum, but white is barred by other considerations, as are also all the grays. Scarlet or red comes midway between white and black or other dark oolors, while with reference^ to protec tion from the sun scarlet takes a far higher place than any of the blues, greens or drabs and other shades often used for military clothing. Yellow and orange are excluded be cause these colors are particularly con spicuous at a long distance. Although scarlet or red is more conspicuous than gray, when the sun shines directly on the troops it blurs on the sight and is consequently more difficult to hit. With existing rifles the actual result of a fight is usually decided at a dis tance just outside the effective range of the weapons. This distance lies between 600 and 800 yards. Nearer than that it ia impossible to close without replying to the enemy's fire, and as soon as the return fire whistles about the defend ers' heads the possibility of aiming rap idly and accurately decreases. Therefore, from this point of view, it is unimportant whether the object to be hit is conspicuous or not, but from a moral point of view it is a serious con sideration. Within 700 yards each sub sequent advance is conditioned by fire superiority already achieved, the de fenders are shaken, the time for count ing heads is past, and the mental im pression conveyed by the sight of the assaulting troops becomes the main point. It is a distinct advantage that our men should bulk large in the decisive stages of an encounter, and there is no color which enables them to do this so effectively as scarlet. On the whole, therefore, every scientific consideration justifies the retention of scarlet as the best uniform for our troops.—Strand Magazine. The Cause of Rainfall. Rain is, as we all know, the moisture of the atmosphere condensed into drops large enough to fall with perceptible velocity to the earth. The variation in the sizes of the drops is dependent upon the difference in the height from which they have fallen and to the amount of atmospheric disturbance present at the time. If they fall from great heights, the drops suffer gradual division into smaller and smaller parts until they are at last converted into mists. In calm weather, with the clouds near the earth's surface, the drops are apt to be large and heavy. The formation of rain is in general a continuation or an enlarge ment of the processes by which clouds and fogs are formed. The deposition of moisture depends upon the cooling of the atmosphere, but concerning the pre cise process by which the cooling is ef fected various opinions are entertained even among those who have made me teorology a life study. In considering the matter we have deduced our reck onings from what is considered the best authority on the subject. From this it appears that the temperature of a given mass of warm air is lowered in the or dinary course of atmosph^rio)phenomena by one or the other of the processes mentioned in the following: By radia tion to the cold sky, by radiation to the neighboring masses of clouds or the cold ground, by mixture with cool air or by the absorption of heat in the ex pansion of ascending columns of air. Whatever the process may be, one thing is sure—the cooling must take place be fore the moisture will collect into drops of sufficient size to cause them to fall from the mass of vapor in which the constituent parts have been floating.— St. Louis Republic. The Boring of Glass. Strong glass plates are bored through by means of rotating brass tubes of the necessary diameter, which are filled with water during boring. To the water there is added finely pulverized emery. It is said that thinner glass can be per forated with holes in an easier manner by pressing a disk of wet clay upon the glass and making a hole through the clay of the width desired, so that at that spot the glass is laid bare. Then* molten lead is poured into the hole, and lead and glass drop down at once. This method is based upon the quick local heating of the glass, whereby it obtains a circular crack, the outline of which corresponds to the outline of the hole made in the clay. The cutting of glass tubes, cylinders, etc.', in factories is based upon the same principle. —New York Ledger. in the world, is experience.
