CHINESE OPIUM HoUsEs.-Whlle collecting
Items In regard TO the late big fire In China
town, we found no less than three opium
houses In full blast. How many were burned
we did not ascertain. The rooms for opium
smoking are always without windows or light
from the outside. Each smoker lies upon q
mattress, and has 4 small lamp burning by
his side, and the mattresses are ranged In a
row upon broad counter running the full
length OF the room. In some OF the houses
We visited we found smokers so stupefed that
the policeman with us rolled them over and
over half dozen times, without being able
10 arouse them. Some Of those who wore
still smoking were so far gone that they paid
no attention 10 what was going on about
them. Losses In the fire probably sent many
Of these men TO the opium houses. REen In
the Chinese Temple We observed several men
stretched out on the floor with their opium
plpes by their sides. One man only was
awake and vlgllant, and when we Questioned
him In regard 10 the men on the floor, he
said; TOO mnchee trOuble-toO IN uchee fire. ="

costly system Of irrigation, 80 the CAlifor-

thirsty plains, wherever practicable, and
carrying fertility TO soils rich but barren for
want Of moisture. Where the streams aud
