There ® however, considerable aificulty in"dete e mining whether the date at any particular ® one of the smaller islands is counted like ® the dates to the eastward or like those - ® to the westward. The following para- graphs are an abstract of a useful semi- offictal note from the United States Hy- drographic Office: Magellan approached the Philippines from the eastward and up, to 1845 the American date prevafled there. The com- merce of the islands was chiefly with Mexico. Celebes is ifi the same east lon- ® gitude as Luzon—120 degrees—and has the Asiatic date. The Manila authorities drop- ped December 31, 1844, from the calendar ® by order and named the day following De- ® cember 30 the 1st of January, 1845, thus @ adopting the Asiatic date, which now pre- o vails throughout the islands. Prior to the purchase of Alaska in 1867 o the Asiatic date was adopted throughout ® the group. At the present time the Ameri- @ can date is employed in Alaska, St. Law- o rence Island, all the Aleutlan Islands, as e Wwell as in Morell Island, Phoehix Islands e and in the Samoan group. The change in Samoa was made July 4, 1892. The Asiatic ® | date—one day earlier than the American; that is, the first of our month is the sec- ond of the Asiatic month—prevails in Si- beria, Kamchdtka, Copper Island, Ko- mandorsk! Island, Marshall, Gilbert, El- lice and Fiji Islands, New Zealand and Chatham Island. Most vessels change | their dates at 180 degrees from Greenwich, but the French make the change at 180 degrees from Paris (177 degrees 40 minutes west, of Greenwich), and the Spanish at 180 degrees from San Fernando (173 de- @rees 46 minutes east).—Washington Star. i s i Our Highest Mountains. { The three highest mountains jn the United States, not including Alaska, are Mt CHRISTY & WISE c: Whitney, California, 14888 feet; zx-m&mumfl".,-mm;".:. ® | Blanca Peak, Colorado, 14464 feet, and H ephone Main Six ® | Cerro Blanco, New Mexico, 14,269 feet.

His Majesty's health officers at the port of Auckland, New Zealand, are no re- specters of “purps.” Because they ruled that one woolly pet dog belonging to a bred-in-the-bone American citizen must go into quarantine for six months, like any leprous coolle, the fiery American citizen returned half the circle of the glcbe rather than submit to any such tyranny. Garfbaldi is the name of the woolly dog. A. H. M. Bacca is the name of the outraged American citizen, who was nobly supported in his act of. flounting the British Hon by his wife and his sis- ter-in-law, Miss R. Shirley. ‘When the steamer Ventura touched the dock yesterday Garibaldi stalked proudly down the gangplank to his native heath, conscious that his honor had been vindi- cated. Behind him came A. H. M. Bacca, Mrs. A. H. M. Bacca and Miss Shirley, poorer in pocket. by $500, but re- jeicing in a sense of duty done. . It was with a light heart that Gari- baldl and his party set sail from this port some three months since, bound on a tour of sightseeing. But at Auckland the fleeting dream of pleasure came to an abrupt end. Garibaldi, the pride of the family, it was ruled, must remain in hateful quarantine for six months ere he could set paw to solid earth. Furthermore Garibaldi's board bill would be “five quid ten,” which in the land of his fathers is $27. Nor would the excellence of his fare during quarantine be vouchsafed. It might be beefsteaks and again it might not. The good American blood in Garibaldi's heart revolted at tyranny greater than that of '76. Likewise the blood in the heart of A‘m M. Bacca.

In the general report on the census of Ireland, just issued as a volume of 640 pages, attention is drawn to the fact that in every 100,000 of the population there was a decrease of 3254 in the number un- der 20 years as compared with 1891, and an increase of 24 in those in the period from 20 to 65 years of age, and of 764 in persons aged 55 and upward. The cen- tenarians in 1901 numbered 491 (194 males and 303 females); in 1891, 678 (220 males and 249 females), and in 1881, 690 (224 males and 466 females). A male was returned on the present occasion as having reachea the patriarchal age of 122 years. Fearing that a mistake might possibly have been made, the statement was queried, and the enumerator furnished the following interesting information regarding the case: He stated that he and a merchant belonging to Clifden very minutely ques- tioned the old man, who said that he re- membered seeing the French fleet in 1798 salling off the west coast toward the north, at which time he was a young man about 19 years of age. The enumerator also added that the man died in August, 191; his death was subsequently regis- tered and the age being given as 120 years, the registrar informed the trar General that after exhaustive In- quiries as to its accuracy he was assured that the deceased might have been any ace between 120 and 126 years.—London Royal Time, | year-olds. anurled whfl_!kikd Man jumped the fence one (4118) Actlon .. day last weél on the road to recovery. dfl%g‘.,'.'fi'i'. ;% ‘HMB)\(I Reina Shaw, the crack Eastern lightweight rider, icure .107| 4034 Blue Miracle.. lo-h writes a friend that he will be here inside of M)Gl tilicho J104! a fortnight.

DYNAMITE ENDS MANAGER'S LIF Prominent Citizen of, Hollister Accident- ally Killed. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. HOLLISTER, Jan. 19.—The destruction of squirrels by, the use of dynamite is a dangerous business. This was clearly demonstrated this morning, when John Scholefleld, the manager of the Bonnie | Brae fruit farm, was blown to pieces by a premature explosion. Scholefield was alone at the time of the | disaster and the officials and employes of the company have no definite knowl- edge as to the cause of the explosion. For some time the management of the company has been given considerable | worry and more labor in the effort to exterminate the squirrels around the fruit dryer. The pernicious little ani- mals caused alarming damage and their immediate destruction became a matter of serfous concern. It was decided to use dynamite for the purpose and Scholefield undertook the task. He had twenty pounds of the dan- gerous material with him and for some reason which will never be known it exploded when he was near it. Schole- field was a well known resident of Hol- lister. Takes Servant’s Life and His Own. SPOKANE, Wash., Jan. 19.—Ella Mont, a domestic. was shot and almost in- stantly killed this morning by a man named Spencer, who then shot himself. The tragedy took place at the home of Sydney Schulein, where the girl was em- ployed as a domestic. There was no witness, but letters left by Spencer in- dicate that the crime was committed be- cause the girl would not marry him.

Supervisors Postpone Action on New Building Ordinance. Ve The Board of Supervisors directed the Bcard of Works yesterday to remove the Timber Company on Third street, tween Berry and Channel, and upon all of such street as is within the jurisdiction of the city, in accordance with an opinion of the City Attorney. The contract to install seventy-five gas regulators in the public buildings was awarded to the Reliable Regulator Com- | pany for $4% 75. Wilson objected to the purchase of the regulators on the ground that it would require two additional em- | ployes to care for them. He held that it | | would be cheaper to award the contract | to the Universal Gas Consumers’ Associa- tion, which offered to charge a rental of $18 per month. Gas Inspector Tupper said it would not be necessary to employ any sdditional men and the city is now pay i rental monthly for the regulators. otion of Supervisor Eggers, consic eration of the proposed building ordi- nance was postponed for one week in or- | | der to give interested parties an oppor- tunity to be heard. The Building Trades Council filed a pro- test against the passage of any ordinance | that prohibited the use of asphaltum and gravel roofs on the ground that it will de- stroy a valuable and growing Californta industry, namely, the production and manufacture of asphalt, and it will fur- ther deprive a large number of union men of means of employment. The Municipal Non-Partisan League and Federation of Improvement Clubs filed Protests against the proposed Increase in the height of fire-proof buildings from 12 to 201 feet in the new building ordinance. An ordinance was amended so as to give the emergency wagon of the United Rail- roads the right of way on all streets and also to run at an accelerated speed during the progress of fires. Grades were ordered changed on Florida street, between Twenty-first and Twenty- second. The Board of Works was directed to as- certain the value of damages to the prem- ises heretofore occupied by the Harbor police station at 23 Commercial street. The petition of property owners for the cpening and extending of Carl street was referred to the Street Committee, An ordinance was passed to print pro- hibiting the leaving at doorsteps of pack- ages containing drugs, antiseptics, cos- metics or chemical compounds. The board adjourned to meet next Tuesday evening at § o'clock to begin eration of the ordinance fixing wa- ter rates for the next fiscal year. The rep- resentatives of the Spring Valley Water Company will be notified to be present. The Terms Billion and Trillion. There are two systems of enumeration in use at the present day, commonly called the English and the French systems. In the former the billion is a million of mil- lions; a trillion a million of* billions, and each denomination is a million times the one preceding. In the latter (which is the system used in the United States) the bil- lion is a thousand millions, and each de- nomination is a thousand times the pre- ceding. Therefore, according to the Eng- lish notation, a trillion Is the product of a million involved to the third power. Eng- lish notation, a trillion is the product of a million involved to the third power, or the number represented by a unit with eighteen ciphers annexed; according to the French notation the number expressed | by a unit with twelve ciphers attached. A million, according to the French | method, is a number represented by a unit with nine ciphers and according to the English method with twelve ciphers | annexea—Detroit Free Press. —e————— Loss on Exposed Coal.
