Baldwin, who delivered a dirigible balloon to the United State government, declared in an Interrtew: "It will be but a short time. In my opinion, until the uorld will tee the combination ot the two types ot atrthlpi the dirigible and the aeroplane and the complete so lution of air navigation With tlio now ris bnB material and tho proper protection of the K It will !e pot lble for the comltiK JlrlclbU- to .cir cumvent the wor,ld without once landing." The aisembllni of the Baldwin dir igible la awaiting- the arrival of a large tent at Fort Meyer which meat- furee 100a40 feet. "It would be possible for me to assemble my dirigible within 36 hour," said Mr. Baldwin, "but ow ing to the fact that many of the ar my ofBeera are desirous ot going to Brighton to witness the flights ot the Farman airship, it la not probable that I will do much this week. How ever, by August 3 I expect to be ready to set a date for the official trials." THE CSE OF ASPHALT. The long drawn-out and somewhat Interesting controversy between the United States and Venetuella, In which the great Trinidad asphalt con cession has figured prominently, has oerhap created the Impression that this country Is wholly dependent on the famous bitumen lake for Its sup ply of asphalt. It Is true tnat we bur abroad large quantities ot this paving material, and that mora than half of the Im ports now come from the Island of Trinidad, but our own production greatly exceeds the total Imports, and although the increase In our con sumption ot the material Is rapid the growth ot the proportion of home nroduetlon over Importations Is even more marked. Although asphalt Is used chiefly in street paving, it is also applied to many other purposes, such as for .waterproofing metals, papers and fabrics, for preserving wood, in brl queuing, and In concrete construc tion. In connection with paving, or rath- it "good roads" work, an Interesting ns Is being made ot tbo asphalt re- ' '-o1utis, whose base Ir f. of lie oils o ... ..j-e of tie Callfornli ..-J Texas oils, which carry a ver. large proportion of asphalt aa much as 35 percent which sprinkled on road surfaces, makes Ideal "good roads." In Southern California, particular ly, thousands ot miles of heavy .sandy roads, over which It was formerly Im possible to trot a horse bitched to a light buggy, have been rendered sol id and speedy by a single sprinkling of oil, and the houses along the road- aids have been freed from the blow ing sand and dust which Is, along natural roads, a great discomfort to the inhabitants of arid an semi-arid regions. JAPS AND CHIXE8E. and a part ot what was the fashion able district ot San Francisco has be come Jap Town." "Chinatown" Is not what it was before the flro, the residents of 8an Franelico will tell ou. But the Chinese have gone back to the quar ter they once occupied and establish ed their stores and sheps. This was ?nce a feature of San Frascuco and no one ever came there thought he 'mil properl) een the fit) iiiiIi'hh In hail lalleil the liniliTKrouuil 'It'll of the Chinese ami Keen the opium vlie ut Its lunctt depth The authorities lme put an end to the burronlne" of the "Chinks." The dens stll exist, but they are where better police su pervision Is possible. The Chinese are still a laboring race, but the pre- tudlce against them Is apparent tor they are not employed for higher class labor There Is a disposition to give the white people the first chance for employment The Japanese are an aggressive people, as shown by the rapid devel-1 opment In the past half century I They have brought their push and energy with them to this country. Besides, they feel that they belong to ( on ot the first nations of the earth. Every Japanese knows what Japan has accomplished la the last few years. They all know that Japan has beaten China In one war and Russia In another. They feel the Importance of a successful race and do not take kindly to the idea which prevails her that they are no better and even a little wore than the Chinese. The people ot the Pacific Coast are not disposed to show any difference be tween the men of Mongolian blood. They do not like the signs ot (qual ity which the Japs show and they want to keep the Japs oj the same plane as the Chinese. Notice to the Public. San Francisco, and In fact nearly all of California, has a race problem. The Chinese and Japanese are very numerous on the coast and they have proved a serious and at times danger ous element. As between the two races tb Chinese are best liked. The Japs are heartily detested. The peo ple say that the Japs will lie and cheat and arc not to be trusted In a business way. The Japs are ambit ious to become business men and hav taken possession of one ot the Onest resldenc districts in the city. They did this after the fire. A few citizens who thought their residences would never be worth anything again were glad to lease them to the Jap anese. Then when It was found that the city was to be rebuilt and resume Its former Importance the people who lived near tbt Japan rented their plac to other Japan because taty M not want to lira next to the Japs.
