A California Waterfall.

Among the prettiest of these narrow
mountain canons is that known as the
"Putiah," which indents the outer and
lower ridge about mile south of Dub
lin. Minor ravines open from the main
canon, each yielding its tiny rivulet to
swell the volume of the larger stream,
which finds its way by devious windingS
to the willow-covered Bolsa in the valley
below. The stream is scarcely three
miles in length, falling in this short dis
lance over six hundred feet. The de
scent is naturally great, several of the
cascades and falls being of considerable
magnitude. The largest of these, the
Putiah Falls, are about a mile and half
up the canon from the public highway,
and are reached up a steep, though pass
able. private wood road. Up this road,
which is cut in tic steep hill side, we fol
low the win,lings of the canon. the muir
muir of the little stream, as it dashes over
the jagged rocks, coming ever and anon
to our ears from the canon bottom far
below. And now, from the rayine far
ahead, we hear perfect rush of waters.
growing louder as we approach. until.
turning a bold promontory. we come sud-
denly upon one of the prettiest bits of
scenery in the county of Alameda High
wooded ridges hem the view on every
side. while in the near foreground rises a
sheer precipice of smooth, solid. moss.
fern, and lichen covered rock, from which
the little stream leaps boldly and bodily
to its bowldcr strewn bed below. Above
the fall it darts like an arrow for twenty
feet down the rapids, and then. trembling
for an instant on the brink. falls in a lone
silver ribbon from the face of the rock
Swaying and wavcring III the breeze for
nearly fifty feet to the base below. The
wood-clad ridges and dark-brown rock
relieved by the bright green of clinging
moss and graceful fern, and the milky
whiteness of the foam-lashed fall, form a
picture, the equal of which, in wild, natu-
raj beauty, one must 90 far to find. These
falls are seen best in the rainy months
as i'll summer they dwindle to mere
thread.

USING THE EYES.

In recent work on Eyesight-Go
and Bad" by II. b. Carter, VI. d., of
London, the singular theory Is developed
that Il large part of the trouble with their
eyes among persons who have reached
or who have passed. the middle age OF
life is due to the partial disusc Of the or
that the beauty and efficacy of the eyes
depend not little upon their healthful
and active employment. 1t might be said
that the use of ones eyes is something
which cannot very well be prevented
While man is awake, unless lie resolute-
ly shuts his eyes or has them banda ged
he cannot avoid using them. But use of
this kind is not the employment that Mr.
Carter requires: there must be mental
attention as well as visual impression
otherwise the eyes remain in a state Of
comparative idleness.
The man who retains his eyesight clear
and unimpaired to an old age will much
oitener be the mechanic, who is COMPEL
cd by his work to constantly test the acute
ness of his sight, than the farmer, who
rarely has occasion to look very closely
at anything. and Tho frequently may not
exercise his eyes by reading Il newspaper
from one weeks end to the other. 1t
will be perceived that this theory is not
the one commonly accepted, aud yet Mr.
Carter is specialist whose opinion can
not be lightly contravened. He objects,
of course, to an improper use of the eyes
under trying lights, or to their over-eN-
ercised; but he would seem to hold that
trouble was likely to arise fully as often
by under-exercised as by over-exertion.
To give his own words: THAT which is
true of the organism as a whole is true
also of its parts, and the eyes, among
others. are best treated by an amount of
systematic use. which preserves the tone
of their muscles and the regularity OF
their blood supply Another point that
Mr. Carter insists upon is the necessity
Of using properly-adi usted glasses when
the sight begins to fail. 1t is. he atiirmS
them than tc dispense with their use,
since under the latter condition certain
muscles of the eye are subject to an un-
due and disproportionate strain.

PAPER AS A RAW MATERIAL.

Ceaseless progress in the industrial
arts compels us from time to time to
note the various, and, in most instance.
surprising uses to which paper IS pat by
ingenious producers. Manufactured pa-
per has become a protean raw material TO
manufacturers of everything all over
this country and Europe. In many in
stances, the original makers of jrro id.
paper prepare the useful material in ac-
cordance with the peculiar demands OF
those who change paper into the most
surprising forms and uses. rs rule,
however, the ingenious maiipulators Of
paper take the product as it comes from
the mills and transform it into ear wheels,
roofing, carpets, vessels for holding water,
barrels, and chimney pots. German pa

terials that could possibly answer that
purpose. Not only does properly pre-
pared paper exclude water quite rs effect
lively, but it is preferable to the metal
because it is of less weight, more dura-
bic, and cheaper.
The latest-or perhaps it is safer to say
one of the latest--uscs to which paper
has been put, is to make it serve a. bed
coverings. The warmth OF ordinary
sheets of printing paper has long been
known, and persons fond of novelty, if
not economy, have stitched newspapers
between single folds of muslin, securing
thereby cheap and cosy. though rather
noisy, bedspreads. An ingenioue manu-
