To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:
l have read with great interest and
entire appreciation your leading arti-
Gle of this morning, entitled, "Our
Halt in Redeeming Niagara" Until
l read your article / was not aware
that the last Legislature of New York
had not taken action. With you, and
think may add with every patri-
otic citizen in the United States who
has taste and intelligence enough to
understand and appreciate the value
of such an acquisition and to deplore
its loss, deeply regret that matter
so much demanding prompt action was
allowed to pass.
Is 1t not alieady mater of regret
and humiliation to every American citi-
zen who has any claim to Intelligence
aud refinement that this greatest OF the
many great wonders of this continent
should be strip d OF its magnificent
beauty and grandeur and convert
ed 10 The vulgar uses of trade ?
Surely the citizens Of New York, the
Empire State of the Union, will not pre-
sent such humiliating spectacle 10 her
sieter commonw a'ths and to the world!
II their representatives in the last Legs
lature, either for want OF intelligence or
taste, suffered the subject to pass, let the
people now, through The press aud next
November, at the polls, give such on-
mistakable expression to their views as
will insure the carrying out of the main
object-the redemptinn OF Niagra Falls
and its dedication as perpetual public
park. Respectfully.

rage of vines in California is officially
rated at about coo acres, and it is
thought that from six TO eight thousand
acres more will be planted TO vines this
year. If the entire grape crop were
made into wine the yield in ordinary
years would exceed 25,O00,0e0 gallons
Tho actual wine product during the past
I've years has ranged between 100000
and 6,O00,oc0 gallons. the smallest yield
falling in 1878. The possible yield in
wine is lessened by the large distillation
into brandies (about 100000 gallons a
Year, the production of sweet wines, the
CONSUMPTION of grapes for table use and
export to the Eastern States, and finally
by the manufacture of raisins. The
wine yield this coming year is expected
to be very large, perhaps 100000
gallons.

WHERE LIGHTNING STRIKEs.-Pro.
fessor Calladon, Of Geneva, has mado
some interesting observations on The
course OF lightning wher Ii strikes tees
and houses. He holds that the great
discharges which iniure trees or houses
seldom or never happen while the light.
ninS has an unobstructed course-whch
1t has along the thin upper branches of
trees, where birds and their nests arc
often left quite uninjured by ts descent.
But it is where the electric current reach.
es the thick stem that the tree becomes
a worse and worse conductor, and 10 ID
here, therefore, that tho tree ia what Is
called struck. e here that the electri.
city, failing 70 find an unobstructed chan.
mel 70 the earth. accumulates in masses.
and gives out shocks that rend the tree.
And the same Is true Of houses whose
lightning conductors stop short of Tho
ground. Professor Calladon has also
shown that the close neighborhood Of n
pool OF water is n great attraction 10 tho
electric current, and that the electricity
ofton passes down house or tree tin Il
