Details of Washouts-Steamer to Sacrament as in Early Days. San Francisco, Jan. 26. The snow blokade on the Central Paci Sc and California fc Oregon rail roads is still on. In general the rain and snow storms in the north ern portion of California have ceased, but whether or not the pleasant weather will last until the blocude is raisea, cannot oe fore told, The warm rain that has fallen in Northern points is shifting southward, but the storm is less yiolcnt, and the amount of snow melted on the mountains is there fere less. Rain Las fallen in the San Joaquin valley as far south as Los Angeles and San Diego, but, so far as is row known, ii t.e dimage has resulted. CONDITION OF THE RAILROADS.

GOING AKOSNI) T11K WOULD. The C'lcamnavigator Gains a Date Instead of a Day. New Ysrk Tribune. A fair lady writes : ''Can't you explain about gaining and losing a day when you go around the world? Jules Verne muddled me til up, and every one that tries to explain it makes my head go round, too." Certainly, ma'am ; only you must fix your mind on one thing at a time and not let it go a wan dering like the little pig that wouldn't stand still long enough to be counted. Well, then, there is no day lo t or gained. What you will lose or gain if yen go around the world (besides some pleasant company wherefore, do not) 13 a date, not a day. In travel ing westward, each date, common ly called a day, hides the fact that for each degree o: longitude parsed over you have added four miautes to the twenty-four horns. At noon, when by custom you change jour date, you find you have trave.sed lit teen degrees, then your "dav has contained twenty-live instead f twenty-four hours. Ingoing to the eastward, the conditions would be revei sed, and your date en lie. 5 :i 'day would contain but twenty inrcc hours. Lut il you aim jour hiind should etand back to iiueU at New York, and staiting at the same instant walk straight aiound thewoiid, each walking exactly three nines an hour and never slopping tor anytnine, you would both meet and pass half way in exactly 3500 horns, and you would aaiu meet in New York in exactly .000 lifiirs, state the time iu hours and you will grasp it immediately A PROFESSOR'S PLEASANTRY, A Harvard Han Whose Lectures Are Like EntrrtainnK r.t. New York Tribune. Professor Cook of Harvard College is one of the most popular instructors in the university. Kvery freshman has a course in chemistry under the venerable scientist, liut if the course were not prescribed it is likely that his classes would be fully as large as they are now. An hour in his ex periment room is like attending an entertainment. He makes thinss lively in the most approved "college celebration" fashion with his ex plosions, burning chemicals and other tire works experiments. The professor has spent a good many years over his crucibles, ratorts and receivers, and his hand trembles visibly when he picks up any of his apparatus or in struments. One of his lectures is devoted io dangerous ' explosives, and a stir always goes over the room when he picks np a bottle labled nitroglycerine. His smile is as Innocent as a child's and it reveals the most genial and sympathetic nature in Harvard Col lege. W ben he picks up the bottle and holds it up, the yellow liquid tii ring with the shaking of his hand, he always eays something like this: Now.centlemen.it is commonly believ ed that it I were to drop this little bottle we should all bo blown to the skies (his hand trembles a little moro and timid freshmen look longingly at the door), but if the compound is pure, perfectly pure, mind you, I can light a match with perfect safety and thrust it down the neck ol the bottle." Here he feels for a match. "But," he instantly adds, "I am free to confess that I have not enough confidence ic its purity to try the ex periment. (Many sighs ot reliet ana one of the Professor's divine 63 lies.) Impassable Snow Drifts. East Washingonian : Never in the history of this country have the reads been so filled with snow drifts. The snow has not been bo deep, but the wind has blown al most every day or every other day. The roads been broken so as to be passable and one night of wind has completely filled them up again. The wind would first blow from the cast and then from the west, so that it has been a matter of imposi bility to keep the roads in anything like a passable condition. Paisley & Fish have just re ceived from the Hast a large in voice of job printing stock, includ ing 'istiiT liill ami noti beads. n i i j ..... - - - cards, invitations, and they are better prepared tnan ever to exe cute line work at very Iot rates. OREGON FLOUR. Manitoba Striving to Supply China and Japan. THE STATE'S AY II EAT Sl'PI'LT. Tho Pacific Coast States Keed Etw Seed Wheat-Thty Should Hold The Far E.--tera Trade. The ilour trade with China and Japan, of which Californin, Oregon at:d Washington virtually enjoy a monopoly, which, by their situation. they ishould he able to maintain, is gradually increasing, and becoming a trade of much importance. The trade has become so large that the transportation facilities furnished ahir pcrs at p rest e tit are not sufficient. and the trade will, in the near future, demand direct transportation. This trade is a head ' attracting attention in other quarters, as is evidenced by the fact that W. W. Ogilvie, presi dent of the Ogilvie Mi'liug Company, of Montreal, recently visited Van couver, B. C. The World of that city says: Mr. Ogilvie has had under consider ation for some time the establishment of a flour mill on the Pacific coast to grind for the trade with China and Japan. This scheme he does not deem practicable at pteseut. The mills iu Oregon and Washington now control that trade, having the surplus grain of those two states at hand, while were a mill established in Van couver the supply of grain must necessarily come trom Manitoba and the Northwest. The wheat supply of Manitoba, he said, could not be relied on yet to be steady, but in a few years he thought a constant supply could be obtained. The Manitoba wheat, being graded No. 1 hard, would eventually replac ? the Oregon flour in the Eastern market, as Ore gon ca:i only produce soft wheat." It is true that Oregon wheat is not so hard as the wheat of Manitoba, hut crops arc certain here and uncer tain there. Tho wheat of the Wil lamette valley, while contaiuing less pluten than hard wheat, makes the whitest flour i.i the world, which off sets any lack ol stu-uuth. As to Ore gon only being al'.e to produce soft wheat, it has been demonstrated that liar 1 wheat, the Scotch Fife, can be crown litre, and ilr.et very well, and the Dlue Stem, raised in Eastern Ore gon, contain n much gluten as the wheat of California, aud yields a larger berry, but is not up to the mark iu wtutencss. If Oregon far mers would take pains to introduce the Scotch Fife and other hard w heats the v would doubtless soon he able to supply wheat wit' as much gluten as iitcessary. At all eveuts, the Pacific coast states, througi their favorahie situation, fertile soil and abundant harvests, should be able to hold the trade in flour with China and Japan against all comers. lii this ceiiuection it may be stated that a roller mill was put in operation at Nagasaki, Japan, on December 10. Tho plant for the mill was furnished by an English firm. The mill is of brick, 51x30 feet, three stories high, with twelve pair3 of rollers for grind ing wheat and semolina. The capac ity is- eighteen piculs per day, as stated by a Nagasaki p?pcr, which is somewhere in the nihoorhood of 100 barrels per day. This is the first mill of the kind erected in the far East, and from private advices received here it has not proved the success ex pected. There is considerable w heat raised ic Jap in, and the product can be increased, but all .he flour which cap be produced there can scarcely cut much figure in the China trade, and California and Oregon should continue to famish flour for that country, unless the trade is interfered with by ill-fccliDg on the part of the Chinese, growing out of the restriction act and similar legislation.

Traveler Carries Cnct Rank Notes and Astonishes a Ciowd. Philadelphia Inquirer. A tall, black-wniiKerea man was leaning over the desk at the Conti nental Hotel last night conversing with several friends. Pulling a plethoric wallet from his pocket, he tnnk therefrom a lone sheet of 5 bills. just as they come from the Treasury Department. xiis iriena inquired what thev were. "Only advertise ments," was the reply. "They're civen away now with tea instead of the iiKiial ehromos." Bv this time there was quite a crowd around the black-whiskered man. eagerly examin-in-' the bill?. Souse thought t;i:v were genuine bills, vhile others, who had never seen bills in this shape be fore, as there were nearly a yard of them, thought they were advertise ments, and would not have bought the whole lot for five cents. "You're just like the fellow outia St. Louis. He was a clerk in a store, and when 1 had made a purchase 1 asked for a pair of shears aod pro ceeded to cut off a bill. You should have seen the man's eyes. . They stood out eo you could have knocked them off with a stick. The outcome of the matter was that he refused to take them. Just at that minute the proprietor came from the office, and, seeing the status of the case, dis charged the man, but, after I had ex plained the case, we all had a good laugh." "Why do I carry them in that way? I gues. well I suppose to have a little fun; thas's all. I have a friend, a cashier in a bank, and he lets me have them. Lei's adjourn and have a B. and S. and see what the bar keeper has to say." BEAUTIFUL RATI1S. A Place In Wiicli the Nobility Delight. Italia The baths of Battaglia are near Padua and Venice, in the most de lightful of climates, freed from northern cold and tro southern beat. A peculiar and most unique fea ture of the health resorts is the nat ural vapor bath in the grotto. This grotto is situated about half way up the Monte Sant' Elena, betwetn the smaller bath house and the castle. A number of hot springs issue from the rock with the grotto and. giv rise to hoi vapor. In consequence of the 'great success which attended the thera peutist employment of the gntio of Monsummano, near Pistoja, tlhis grotto was enlarged by blasting a:? fitted ud with magnificent jnarblei couches, shower baths, etc., after j the pattern of the Koman baths in Vienna, The temperture offapor is lit" degrees Fahrenheit. Lower down, and in Battaglia, are the bath houses and hotels now resorted to by hundreds. Cattajo is our old English Cathay or China, and was so named because it was built after the drawings of the Khan's palace at Cathay, brought home by Marco Polo. Near this curious structure, now belongitg tu the Archduke of Austna Este, is the more recent but charming villa of Val San Zibio, the teat of Count Marti nengo, Senator of Italy, sur rounded oy a da? park labi out in the old French style. Arqua, the heme of Petrarch, is not fpr off. and Monte Peudice invites you to its its picturesque ruins, from which you behold a beautilu! panorama spread before you. TALE OF A HALLO NER.

The ballon was new and light, anil I got a much longer ride than I ex pected. I finally descended in a farmhouse yard obout ten miles away, my anchor haying caught in a cherry tree. The farmer was an old fellow, about GO years of agee and he sat reading on his doorstep as I came down. He removed his glasses, put them in his case, put the case in his pocket and then came forward and carelessly observ ed : "That a ballon ?" " 'Yes. Help me pull it down.' " 'Are you a balloner?' " Yes, Pull it hard.'
