The State Commissioner of Labor Statistics, Mr. Enos, has made up, from the replies to the circulars sent to different County Assessors, the following table, showing average rates of wages paid to Chinese in this State: CLASS OF LABOR WAGES PAID Manitium | Minimum | Average Domestic servants ... $25.00 | $18.00 | $21.50 Cooks ... $30.00 | 19.00 | 20.00 Laundrymen ... $12.00 | 6.00 | 10.00 Cultivators of soil ... $30.00 | 25.00 | 27.50 Farm laborers ... $25.00 | 20.00 | 22.50 Brickmakers ... $25.00 | 25.00 | 30.00 Slipper makers ... 15.00 | 4.00 | 4.50 Bag makers ... 16.00 | 4.50 | 5.25 Miners ... 2.00 | 1.50 | 1.75 In canneries ... 1.25 | 75 | 1.00 Boot and shoe makers ... 1.75 | 75 | 1.25 Cigar makers ... $4 to $13 per person Cigar strippers ... Paid by the piece Fishermen ... Mostly on own account (1) With board, per month; (2) without board, per month. Not otherwise marked, per day. The above table refers to their receipts. Their expenses are best expressed in the answers attached to the following questions: How much do they expend for rent either per head or collectively per month? $2 to $1. How much do they expend for food per head or collectively per month? $5. What percentage of the food are home products? 25 per cent. What percentage of the food are imported from foreign countries? 75 per cent. How much do they expend for clothing per head each year? $10 to $12. What percentage of the clothing is of American manufacture? 20 per cent. What percentage of the clothing is imported? 80 per cent. How much of their yearly earnings are sent acres have been actually occupied up to now. Besides making the canals and ditches the engineers have built 179 bridges, bored 152 wells from 40 to 80 feet deep, and 425 from 20 to 40 feet, and have made a survey of 20,000 square miles of country hitherto unmapped. When their task is finished, Russia will have effaced from the map of Europe one of the oldest and toughest bits of savage nature on the continent, and a few years will suffice to render the Pinsk marshes undistinguishable from the rest of the cultivated region of the sources of the Dnieper. From an engineering, geological and scientific point of view, generally, the work is one of special interest, and capable globe trotters, anxious for a novel theme, might do worse than spend a few months amidst the fading Pinsk marshes, describing the changes. Is the Female or the Male Figure Most Perfect? Baron Von Humboldt, who had studied men and women in every quarter of the habitable globe, used to say that the notion that the female figure was of better proportions and more graceful outline than that of the male was a delusion. Women did not believe it, averred the great scientist, and men only said so out of natural gallantry. The Philadelphia Record says: Humboldt was right on a great many points concerning which his views were scouted by the wise men of his day, and perhaps he was equally correct in thus attributing superior physical beauty to men. But since his time nobody has ventured to urge or defend his theory, and it has naturally fallen into disrepute. Besides, the modern world really has no use for "pretty men" as such. They may be counter-jumpers and animated tailors' blocks, and infest the public promenades and places of general resort, MEASURES The miner Jr., is an archeologist established in different laws they accepted in previous discharge through a two-six inches abut.

What percentage of the food are home products? 25 per cent. What percentage of the food are imported from foreign countries? 75 per cent. How much do they expend for clothing per head each year? $10 to $12. What percentage of the clothing is of American manufacture? 20 per cent. What per centage of the clothing is imported? 80 per cent. How much of their yearly earnings are sent out of the country? 75 per cent. What percentage of the amount of the earnings? 75 per cent. Some light may be thrown on the much-debated question of the extent to which the employment of the Chinese comes in competition with the white industrial class, by the presentation of these facts: In 1880 there were 75,132 Chinese in the State of California. In the year ending June 30, 1882, 39,579 Chinese arrived in California. During the year ending June 30, 1883, 8,031 arrived here. Of the 8,031 immigrants arrived from China during the fiscal year 1883, 6,613 arrived during the month of July, 1882, and previous to the date when the Chinese Restriction Act went into effect, viz.: August 6, 1882, leaving but 1,418 arrivals during the remaining 11 months of the year. After making due allowance for the return of the Chinese to their native country, there are 104,909 Chinese in California at present. They are nearly all employed. Their average wages per day, including cooks, employees in wash-houses and manufacturing industries, mining and agricultural laborers, is $1 for ten months in the year, counting 26 days per month as "working days." The wages per head would be $260 per annum; 104,000 Chinese at $260 per year would make a total of $27,040,000 paid the Chinese in California in the year 1884. The following table shows the proportion of Chinese in other States and Territories where they form a notable element of the population: | State and Territory | No. of Chinese to 100 | Whites | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Idaho | 11,647 | | | Nevada | 10,113 | | | Oregon | 5,832 | | | Montana | 4,988 | | | Washington | 4,741 | | | Wyoming | 4,702 | | | Arizona | 4,636 | | | Colorado | 320 | A Remarkable Drainage Enterprise Few people are probably aware of the great engineering undertaking, in which Russia has been engaged for years, of draining the Pinsk marshes. These are so extensive as to secure special designation on the ordinary map of Europe, being, we believe, the only case of the kind; and, in point of area, are very much larger than Ireland. Situated on the Russo Polish confines, they have become famous. Humboldt was right on a great many points concerning which his views were scouted by the wise men of his day, and perhaps he was equally correct in thus attributing superior physical beauty to men. But since his time nobody has ventured to urge or defend his theory, and it has naturally fallen into disrepute. Besides, the modern world really has no use for "pretty men" as such. They may be counter-jumpers and animated tailors' blocks, and infest the public promenades and places of general resort, but the present masculine fashion favors the strong, square built, quick-witted and agile fellow who never thinks for an instant whether he conforms to the model of the Apollo Belvidere or not. With the softer sex the question of form is quite another affair. The possibilities of dress have been developed to such an extent that, within reasonable limitations, a woman may take on pretty much whatever outward shape seems best and most becoming to her. While the creations of the modiste have stimulated a taste for the beautiful, they have ministered also to the love of admiration and harmless instinctive vanity appertaining to every feminine nature. They have also created ideals of contour that are decidedly at variance with classical ideas of perfection; and these departures from the antique standard have been to many theorists and a few otherwise sensible women a source of profound disquiet. There has been, it is affirmed, a departure from the "classic figure" that is as disfiguring as it is reprehensible; and in many quarters are heard pleadings more or less cogent, for a return to the lines of beauty wrought by Phidias and Cleomenes long before physical distortion became a fashionable art. American maids and matrons have thus been led to study the requirements and measurements of the perfect female figure, with results if current draperies correctly indicate altogether distasteful to the classists who point with pride to the master works of ancient sculptors as embodying the beautiful in feminine contour. A living counterpart of the Venus de Medici would be less than 5 feet in height, while wearing a No. 25 cornet and a No. 7 shoe. The Popular Science Monthly, in a recent issue, descends to particulars and affirms that to meet the requirements of a classic figure the proper dimensions should be: Height, 5 feet 45 inches; bust, 32 inches; waist, 24 inches; armpit to waist, 9 inches. This is further improved upon by giving the proportions of a "queenly" figure thus: Height, five feet five inches; bust, 31 inches; waist, 26½ inches; over the hips 35 inches. These figures are interesting only as they illustrate the vagaries and contortions of the purely scientific mind when foundering through the realm of taste. It will be difficult to persuade ladies of an inquiry turn that the scientific constructor of these classic proportions has not been endeavoring to perpetrate a solemn joke upon men only said so out of natural gallantry.

These are so extensive as to secure special designation on the ordinary map of Europe, being, we believe, the only case of the kind; and, in point of area, are very much larger than Ireland. Situated on the Russo-Polish confines, they have become famous in Russian history as a refuge for all manners of romantic characters, and have remained an irreclaimable wilderness in the midst of a prosperous corn growing region up to within the last few years. In 1870 the Russian Government first took in band seriously the abolition of this wild expanse which, owing to being perpetually more or less submerged and covered with a jungle growth of forest, prevented not only communication between the Russian districts on either side, but also between Russia and Austro-Germany. Consequently, a large staff of engineering officers and several thousand troops were draughted into the region, and these have been engaged upon the undertaking since. Up to the present time about 4,000,000 acres have been reclaimed, thanks to the construction of several thousand miles of ditches and of canals so broad as to be navigable for barges of several hundred tons burden. Just now the engineers are drawing up the programme for next year, which comprises the drainage of 350,000 acres by means of the construction of 120 miles of ditches and canals. Of the 4,000,000 acres already reclaimed, 600,000 acres consisted of sheer bog, which has been converted into good meadow land; 900,000 acres of "forest tangle," which have been prepared for timber purposes by cutting down all the underwood and thinning the trees; 500,000 acres of good forest land—forest cases in the midst of the marshes—hitherto inaccessible, but which have been connected more or less by navigable canals, and thereby with the distant markets; and finally 2,000,000 acres have been thrown open to cultivation, although only 120,000 feet 42 inches; bust, 32 inches; waist, 24 inches; armpit to waist, 9 inches. This is further improved upon by giving the proportions of a "queenly" figure thus: Height, five feet five inches; bust, 31 inches; waist, 263 inches; over the hips 35 inches. These figures are interesting only as they illustrate the vagaries and contortions of the purely scientific mind when foundering through the realm of taste. It will be difficult to persuade ladies of an inquiry turn that the scientific constructor of these classic proportions has not been endeavoring to perpetrate a solemn joke upon the select circle of literary females whom he addresses. The "queenliness" of a tail woman with a hollow chest and an exceedingly thick waist is an attribute likely to be discovered only by an observer whose head is perpetually among the stars. Many correspondents have of late been requesting the Record to state what the proportions of the perfect figure really are. We do not know; and if we did the knowledge should remain concealed, lest some of our readers, whose dimensions may be beyond the costumer's art, should suffer an inward pang of regret and disappointment. Let it be sufficient that for a true man the perfect figure is that of the woman who loves him best, and in whose smile he finds perpetual delight. There is no better criterion, after all, whatever the classicists and pragmatic model-makers may say. The Presidential Succession. WASHINGTON, Dec. 17. — Randall has prepared a bill for introduction in the House, providing that Presidential electors shall hold office for four years, and elect within one month a successor to President and Vice-President whenever vacancies exist. An election of President would be necessary only in case a vacancy should occur simultaneously with a vacancy in the office of Vice-President. The Secretary of State and the other Cabinet officers, in regular order, have a right of succession during the interregnum. Hoar's Presidential succession bill has passed the Senate. When a cyclone gets through with a Western village it is like the play of "Hamlet" with hamlet left out. ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA: SATURDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1885. MEASUREMENT OF WATER. Scientific American. The miner's inch, says Mr. A. J. Bowie, Jr., is an arbitrary measurement of water established in early days by the miners in the different camps, in accordance with the laws they adopted. The miner's inch, as accepted in places, is an amount of water discharged from an opening one inch square through a two-inch plank, with a pressure of six inches above the opening. The Smartsville inch is a discharge through a 4 in. orifice, with a 7 in. board top; that is to say, that the pressure is 7 inches above the opening, or 9 inches from its center. The bottom of the aperture is on a level with the bottom of the box, and the board which regulates the pressure is a plank 1 inch thick and 7 inches deep. Thus an opening 250 inches long and 4 inches wide, with a pressure of 7 inches above the office, will discharge 1,000 Smartsville miner's inches. Each square inch of the opening will discharge 1.76 cubic feet per minute, which approximates the discharge of a two-inch orifice through a 5 in. plank, with a pressure of 10 inches from the center of the opening, the said discharge being 1.81 cubic feet per minute. The Smartsville miner's inch will discharge 2,534.40 cubic feet in 24 hours, though in that district the inch is only reckoned for 11 hours. The miner's inch of the Park Canal and Mining Company, in El Dorado county, discharges 1.39 cubic feet of water per minute. At the North Bloomfield, Milton and La Grange mine, the inch has been calculated from a discharge through an opening 50 inches long and 2 inches wide, through a 3 inch plank, with the water 7 inches above the penter of the opening. To determine the value of this miner's inch a series of experiments were made at Columbia Hill, lat. 39° N., elevation 2,960 feet above sea level. "that the doors of your Court were closed against the public yesterday?" "It is according to the State law, which has been in force since 1879, and is within the discretion of the Court in divorce cases, whenever he shall deem it detrimental to public morals to hold Court with open doors," was his reply. "But the lawyers attend!" "They are officers of the court and cannot be excluded. In the last two divorce cases I was sorry to see such a large attendance of the bar, as it seemed to indicate more of a prudent curiosity in the large number of members of the bar than I desire to see. To the everlasting credit of the Los Angeles bar, however, be it said that when Silvas and Martinez were sentenced to be hanged not a member of the bar was present, except the prisoner' counsel." "How did the San Francisco papers get such full reports of the Sharon trial?" "Because Judge Sullivan did not choose to exercise his discretionary right to hold court with closed doors. The lawyers improved their opportunity to get widely advertised by the papers reporting their repartees, and the morbid curiosity of the public was gratified in listening to or reading the vile testimony. The fifth of that trial was spread broadcast over the land. It was disgraceful. I could have tried that case with closed doors in three days. I shall try the Baldwin case with closed doors, and it will be a much shorter trial on that account." "How does the nature of the testimony in the divorces cases of Los Angeles compare with San Francisco?" "It is equally vile. It makes me feel as Mrs. — said in testifying to the effect of her husband's ill-treatment, 'like vomiting.' Did you ever see a galvanized corpse? Well, I saw one. When the electricity was applied to the dead body its eyes opened, the breast heaved, the fingers twitched, the chest rose up." ARE THEY ARTIFICIAL EGG? New York Tribune. In the back room of a Broadway office curious invention was exhibited yesterday to several provision dealers and merchants. The invention consisted of a number of artificial eggs, which resembled the real ones so exactly that none but an expert can distinguish them. The shells were made a clear, transparent composition, and shape was perfectly modelled. The pores surrounding the yolk was made of albumen and the yolk itself of ground carrot and fennel. Three of these artificial eggs were placed on a platter by the exhibitor half a dozen real ones, and the men preformed to select the bogus ones from collection. The first expert exposed his ignorance by picking out three real eggs declaring them to be artificial. The second with a little better luck, owing partly to avoiding the three selected by his unofficial predecessor, managed to pick out one of the real eggs and one of the artificial ones. Thus with varying results each of six men tried his skill in determining difference between the eggs by their appearance. When each had had a trial, he failed the exhibitor said: "Now, gentlemen, you can test them another way." A frying-pan was placed on the stove, and in a few minutes began to simmer. Two of the artificial eggs were picked up, their shells broken and contents dropped into the hot pan where they soon began to simmer and sputter. Little salt and pepper, a brisk two minute stirring with a fork, and as fine a dish scrambled eggs as could be prepared at restaurant was placed before the expected guests. "Help yourself, gentlemen. They are as good as the real article. Nothing poisonous or disagreeable about them." The miner's inch of the Park Canal and Mining Company, in El Dorado county, discharges 1.39 cubic feet of water per minute. At the North Bloomfield, Milton and La Grange mines, the inch has been calculated from a discharge through an opening 50 inches long and 2 inches wide, through a 3 inch plank, with the water 7 inches above the center of the opening. To determine the value of this miner's inch a series of experiments were made at Columbia Hill, lat. 39° N., elevation 2,960 feet above sea level. The module used was a rectangular slit, 50 inches long and 2 inches wide, pressure 7 inches above the center of the opening. The discharge was over a 3 inch plank, the last inch chamfered as shown in sketch. The size of the opening was taken with a measure (micrometer attached) which had been compared with and adjusted to a standard United States yard. Time was read to one-fifth a second. The level of the water (drawn from a large reservoir) was determined with Boyden's hooks, micrometer adjustment. The following results were obtained: 1 miner's in. will discharge in 1 second 2634 cub ft. 1 minute 15754 " 1 hour 94164 " 24 hours 2,267,1300 Ratio of actual to theoretical discharge, 61.6 per cent. These figures are within the limit of 1,500 possible error. A series of experiments made last summer at La Grange, to determine the effective value of the above described inch, gave the following results: 1 miner's in. discharged in 1 second 2634 cub ft 1 minute 14594 " 1 hour 80964 " 24 hours 2,159,1460 Ratio of effective to theoretical discharge, 59.05 per cent. How to Make Winter Evenings Profitable This is the season of short days and long evenings, the best time of all the year for study and improvement. Perhaps you are a young man desirous of obtaining commercial employment. One of the best passports in that direction, next to good character, is good handwriting.

You will be surprised at the improvement which real effort in this line will achieve. May be you would like to learn stenography and type writing.

When the electricity was applied to the dead body its eyes opened, the breast heaved, the fingers twitched, the countenance became expressive and the body made a motion as if to sit upright. It just made the 'cold creeps' come all over me. It was just about the ghastliest sight I ever saw. It is a wonder that some of these secret orders do not adopt some such impressive sight in their rituals. The candidate would never forget it. Well, that's just the way I felt the other day in sitting over a cesspool of moral rottenness that was being uncovered. You wouldn't like it at all. It inclines one to become cynical and suspicious of human kind, and to the faith that Sodom and Gomorrah were prototypes of some modern cities." Wonderful Strength of the Tail of a Horse The strength of the tail of a horse is something amazing. The writer was first made aware of it by an accident. A powerful, but awkward mace, weighing probably 1,250 pounds, and over sixteen hands high, was missed and fortunately before she was drowned, discovered mired in a spring hole. Her forequarters were entirely out of sight; her head nearly sunmerged, and her hind legs bedded in the mud nearly as deeply as her fore-feet were. She had probably been struggling, and getting desper and deeper in the mine, for an hour or two and was completely exhausted. We sunk to our knees in the bog when lifting her head, under which we placed a rail. She was so immovable that the united strength of several men, tugging at her tail, could not raise her headquarters an inch. A strong piece of sacking was obtained and well rubbed with powdered rosin; the tail was dried somewhat and sprinkled with rosin; then a band was made about the middle of the tail and strong ropes were attached, which were connected with an inch rope, doubled and extended out to firm ground. To this a pair of strong horses was attached. Then, when after several good pulls, the horses doing their best and having good ground to stand on, scarcely an effect was produced, we took two rails and we prying and the horses pulling snaked her out on dry land. The tail must have withstood a draft of at least three tons, and so well were the ropes attached that not a dozen hairs were loosened, and the naked portion where the skin is very tender at the surface, was neither abraded or bruised, nor was it tender or sensitive after all this strain. I have not returned since. Yesterday Adrian R.

Do you wish to become expert as a mechanical draughtsman? There are excellent instruction books, sold very cheaply. The industrious occupation of your evening hours as a learner will surely be fruitful of results. We know of excellent draughtsmen, now enjoying good salaries, who taught themselves to draw in evening hours, while companions idled away their time in smoking, cards or gossip. Are you of an inventive turn of mind? The best of all times of study up and think out plans for new contrivances is in the quietude of evening. The results of earnest thought in the production of inventions are simply astonishing. In general, it is the improvements in simple devices, things of every-day use and that everybody wants, which are the most profitable. The patent for the little invention of the spring window shade roller, now so generally employed in all dwellings, has brought great wealth to the fortunate inventor. He is now a millionaire. His device was truly a happy thought. We know of a lady in Chicago whose patents for the invention of a moving belt for drying eggs, albumen, etc., have revolutionized certain great branches of trade, and now bring her a great income. The people want improvements in every conceivable form. Not only is the field of invention vast, but it is open to everybody. There are no distinctions in respect to sex or age. The way to invent is to "keep thinking," and the way to accomplish anything is to "keep working." With Closed Doors Los Angeles Express.
