California has, probably, twenty
vines, each Of which produces more
than 500 pounds Of grapes As an average
crop. Among these are vines at Colo
ma and Blakes, and near Montecito and
stockton representing the Sierra Ne
vada, the coast mountains north Of San
Francisco, the San joaquin Valley, the
southern coast, the level Of the sea, and
an elevation Of 1000 feet above Il. The
Stockton vine. mile southeast Of

house, is foot In diameter, and has
this year produced 5000 pounds ga

We have heard nothing lately Of the
yield OF the Montecito and Coloma big
vines. We saw the latter in 1867 when
young, and II then bore 1900 lunches
Of grapes. The Montecit) vine grew
from cutting of the old big vine az the
same place, set out in 1898, and cut
down in 1875, when eigh-
ty years old. II had diameter Of Is
inches, covered an arbor Of ia feet long
BY IS wide, and averaged three tons in
its annual yield. The big vine at
Blakes separates, vt the surface Of the
ground. into two stems, each six inches
in diameter. The vine mt Coloma is an
Isabella; the other three are Of the Mis-
sion variety.-.San Francisco Aita.

To Cut Glass Without a Dia nOnd.

Carpenters, joiners and cabinet.mak-
ers are frequently called upon to 6t
glas, to frames or sashes where no glass
has been prepared to suit; under such
circumstances 1t would be we'll to know
how to cut glass to answer their purpo
ses, without the aid of diamond. Many
persons may not be aware that glass can
be cut under water, with great ease, to
almost any shape, by simply using pair
Of shears or strong scissors. In order
to insure success, two points must be at.
tended TO first and most important, the
glass must be kept quite level in the
water while the scissors sre applied /;
aud, secondly, to avoid risk, 1t is better to
begin the cutting by taking of small
pieces at the corners and along the edges,
and 30 reduce the shape gradually to that
required, a. II any attempt Ia made to
cut the glass all at once to the shape, as
we should cut q piece Of cardboard, 1t
will most likely break just where it is
not wanted. some kinds OF glass cut
much better than others, the softer
glasses being the best for this purpose.
The scissors need not be at all sharp, rs
their action does not seem TO depend on
the state Of the edge presented to the
glass. When the operation goes on well,
thu glass breaks away rom the scissors In
small pieces in straight line with the
blades This method Of cutting glass
has often been OF service when diamond
has not been at hand Tor tting ovals and
segments, aud though the edges are not
80 smooth as might be desired for some
purposes, yet it will answer in great
many cases. Toe two hints given above
If strictly followed, will always insure
success.

Poisoned Waters Of the Gulf.
Tampa tFia.l Trib'

Col. II A. Crane, at Key West, who
has been resident of Florida forty years,
and is we'll informed as to southern
Florida, gives his views concerning the
late destruction of fish On the Gulf coast:
"The poisoned waters have left us, and
the smack fishermen will resume their
wonted avocations again. There are
many amusing conjectures a. to the bad
water, and the last one is that it must be
volcanic by its being salt in shore. The
real fact is, people at q distance have no
conception of the vast extent of the
water. Think for a moment that from
Lake T1hopokeliga southwark to the
gulf is two hundred and fifty miles, and
this from two to twenty feet deep in
water, the width Of which is not less than
fifty to seventy. five miles, and which
passes through immense swsmps of dog
wood and msstic, both destructive to
fish. These swamps torn to pieces by
driftwood would generate poison enough
to kill all the fish In the gulf. From
the hunting grounds all around to Char
lotte harbor, two hundred miles, from
one TO four feet of water is pouring over
the banks with force that has been
heard on ths outer reefs by
the light keepers, like the roar OF falls.
This water is SO impregnated with vege-
table matter as to sink below the salt
water (ss only the shoal water fish were
killed). 1t seems to me it would not
mix with the salt water, as have seen
strata OF this water one hundred and
fifty to i've hundred yards wide, as far as
the eve could reach, carrying upon its
surface millions of fish. Every tide the
.alt water would reach the beach and
remain there for days. This Is my opin.
ion OF the whole matter"

He found an old Missourisn with q

A Formidable Weapon.
Chicago Tribuns,


A dispatch appeared in the Tribune Q
few days since to the effect that the war
department had ordered rome Of the
new Hotchkiss guns for use upon the
plains. The descriptions Of this new and
terrible arm show that It ID constructed
somewhat upon the plan Of the Gatling
gun, but that it is far more effective. II
consists Of group of Ave revolving bar.

in twelve grooves. The trunnions are %

make small angle with the axis Of the

78 "a inches, its weight l,l00 pounds,
and the caisson carries 800 rounds.
Both shot and shell are used, the former
being Of steel and the latter Of cast~iron.
The experiments thus far made have
been with those constructed for naval
use, which differ somewhat In theif
arrangements from the field guns, though
both are worked upon the same prinei.

them, considers that torpedo bosta On

New Burial Of Sir John Moore,
Cincinnati Enquire

Not a drum vas heard, because the
drummer was not feeling very well and
asked to be excused, nor funeral note
of any kind, as his corpse to the ramparts
we hurried; not single, solitary son-oi-
s.gun OF a soldier discharged his farewell
shot DER the grave where The remains OF
the late Mr.. Moore were deposited. The
farewell. shot business was omitted on
account of the great scarcity OF ammuni-
ton. We buried him darkly at dead
of night, and did the best job we could
for him under the circumstances. We
could not borrow, beg or steal pick or
shovel in the entire neiqhborhood, and
were obliged TO turn the sods with our
bayonets, which, by the way, was the
first thing that had been turned by said
bayonets since we had been drafted.
We did this all by the struggling moon
beams misty light, and the lantern
dimly burning. with just abou. half
enough oil in 1t, and strip of an old
flannel undershirt for wick. Few and
short were the prayers we said, the chap
lain being home on furlough, md no
one within forty miles to take his place.
We spoke not word of SORROW, our time
being somewhat limited, as the enemy
was not far distant, and advancing with
gigantic strides. We thought, as We
followed his narrow bed and smoothed
down his lonely pillow with 4 canteen,
that the foe and the stranger would tread
DER his head, and we far away on the
billow but not too far, however, as the
enemy outnum bered us about seven TO
one. Lightly they'll talk Of the spirit
that's gone, and wonder where they can
get another flask filled with the same,
and DER his cold ashes upbraid him,
knowing, OF course, that he ID In no
condition TO defend himself; but little
they'll reck If they let him sleep on In 9
grave where Briton has laid him, and
not bother him to get up and take out q
burial permit or ask him to pay ground
rent. We wish here to CORRECT tho inn
preston that slowly and sadly We laid
him down from the field OF his fame fresh
and CORY. We did no such thing. The
corpse as washed and put in good shape,
and we defy any man to show that there
was drop Of gore about him. 1t is true
that we carved not line and we raised
not a stone, because there was no stone
mason handy who would do the job at
reasonable figures About this time we
heard the distant random gun that the
Zoe was sullenly firing, 30 we adjourned
the funeral, lett the deceased alone In his
glory. and made ourselves scarce in that
vicinity.
