Thomu S. 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. On after another of th old
