The waters of the Gulf of California teem with other wealth than pearls. Here are fish of every description. The tuna is abundant , and the gamy Span ish mackerel is everywhere. The dolphin phin seems monarch of all the Gulf. In the vicinity of the great island of Car men they are encountered by the thou sand. One school comprising many hun dreds was encountered by the steamer on which the writer was -passenger a short distance from the beautiful bay of Escondldo. They were a half mile distant when they observed us going in the opposite direction. Suddenly the leaders , in a clearly evinced spirit of rollicking sea dog fun , turned every one of them and gave chase'to the steamer. It was perfectly evident they enjoyed the performance as much as the spectators. . For a little while the noise was deafening , as if a thousand gamins of the streets had been turned loose * in a ge-as-you-plcase bath house. Then , having proved their ability to catch up with the steamer , they as sud denly veered and sped southward. Sunset Magazine. Mr * .

In India , after the earthquake of 1S97 , re vision "of the triangulation showed difference * ference in distance of 25 feet and 13 feet in height. Prof. Omori of Japan , who is investigating the effects of the earthquake in San Francisco , says that , if accurate observations had been taken of the smaller shocks which have followed the great-shock , it would be easy to predict -when the earth would again tremble. He predicts that small _ shocks will continue to occur for two years or more , but that there will not be another great shock in that part o/ tile country for fifty years. Postmaster General Cortelyou has issued I an order rescinding the regula tion under which patrons of rural mail routes are compelled to purchase boxes from one of the two hundred listed manufacturers who have put on the market 300 different styles of boxes , approved by the department , costing ct from fifty cents to four dollars each.

Supervision and inspection would bs extended "from the pasture to the package , " and the government stamp upon the can would be a "guarantee , not only of the healthfulness of the animal , but also that the product was prepared in sanitary surroundings and with the addition of no deleterious chemical or preservative. " _ V * * By direction of President Roosevelt orders have been issued that violations of the eight-hour law by contractors on public buildings shall be reported by army and navy officers or other'gov ernment officers detailed to take charge of such buildings.

He found the law , being freely violated , and it was decided to get the co-operation of the army and navy officers to check th practice. ] * . - ' ' v A surplus of $26,187,150 is shown by the Treasury Department's statement ol the government's financial transac tions during the fiscal year ending June 30.

She's a Toy Black and Tan Terrier and Weighs a Ponnd and a Half. Probably the smallest adult dog in the "world is Pinkie , a toy black and tan terrier owned by Mrs. George H. 'Shapley ' , of Newtonville , says the Boston - ton Post At the present time Pinkie weighs a pound and a half and it is thought that she has about got her growth , al- ' 'though she is scarcely larger than a kitten. Pinkie is now the pet of the Shap ley household , but much as she is loved for her bright and affectionate ways she has not yet secured quite the same place in the heart of her mis tress as that won by Toots , Pinkie's father. Toote recently died at the age of 11 , but during his lifetime he was a very distinguished little personage. He was larger than his daughter , weigh ing three and a half pounds , and had gathered in blue ribbons enough to more than balance him in the scales. Toots was noted as being the only singing dog in existence. His mistress is a famous vocalist and In some way she taught Toots to "carry a tune" as well as many people. The little fellow was a society favorite and nothing pleased him more than to be given an opportunity to show off his accom plishments. Mrs. Shapley took him everywhere with her and always made new friends. He is probably the only dog ever tolerated within the aristo cratic portals of the Waldorf-Astoria , but Toots was so small and so win ning that Herr Boldt could not re fuse. Tootsle participated in many chari table affairs. When he was a little more than 2 years old he took the blue ribbon at the Boston bench show and after that it was one procession of prize winning. But though he was so tiny he proved a good watch dog , twice arousing Mrs. Shapley when burglars were endeavoring to force their way into her apartments. The Inevitable.

"Postum has done a world of good for me , " writes an Illinois man. "I've had indigestion nearly all my life , but never dreamed coffee -was the cause of my trouble until last spring I got so bad I was in misery all the time. "A coffee drinker for thirty years , it Irritated my stomach and nerves , yet I was just crazy for it After drinking it with my meals , I would leave the table , go out and lose my meal and the coffee too. Then I'd be as hungry as ever. "A friend advised me to quit coffee and use Postum said it cured him. Since taking his advice I retain my food and get all the good out of it , and don't have those awful hungry spells. "I changed from coffee to Postum without any trouble whatever , felt bet ter from the first day I drank it I am well now and give the credit to Postum.

The "Stourbridge Lion" ] didn't weigh one-twenty-flfth part ] of the weight of an engine of to day < , and it looked as if people might well hesitate about risking their lives behind it. It was first used at Hones- dale , in Pennsylvania , and it ran on wooden rails with a thin layer of iron on them. People gathered from near and from far that 8th of August in the year 1829 , when the little British lion of iron and steel was to make its first run. The wiseacres shook their heads and prophesied all sorts of probable disasters , and people said that "noth ing on earth" could tempt them to ride across the bridge spanning the Lackawaxen River on "that thing. " Brit the little lion went safely over the bridge and over the eight , or nine miles of track'which was the entire length of this line of railroad. St. Nicholas.
