The remarkable development OF the
California wheat crop is the subject of a
recent glowing review in the San Fran
cisco Chronicle. The reviewer says
that nothing excepting the richness of
the yield in the early gold mining COM
pares with the development of the
wheat-growing interest. The valley soil
in the early days was deemed to be so
unpromising as to be ranked as practi-
caly worthless, and inspired the belief
that dependence would have to be placed
or breign countries for supply. Upon
this same hard adobe land, however,
thep has been developed really mar
x.4sssGheat field. The statistics show
ninefold increase during the quarter
of 8 century from 1856 to 1880. In a
little more than the decade before 1881
alone there was q threefold increase
The crop increased from 19,s0l, 600
centals in 1880 to 81, 500, 600 centals in
1881. There are in the State at the
present time $4,000, 900 acres of wheat
lands. 30, 900, 900 of which are ranked as
first class, aud are being rapidly brought
under cultivation. Half million acres
have been brought into cultivated con
diuon In the present year alone, and il
is anticipated that, even should the
whole OF the crop Of the San Joaquin
valley fail, there would still be enough
left to equal the unprecedented yield OF
1880. There is prospect that it will
be much larger than that yield. During
1912 the crop was q, 900, 600 centals.

Lonely Lamps ut lea.

The Illuminated buoy is wonderful
invention. Imagine an enormous lamp
riding the waves. The buoy IS a COM
pact wrought-iron vessel, which serves
as q receiver Of compressed gas. The
duration of the fame depends upon the
size of the buoy. Some in Use III Europe
have been made to burn thirty days and
some one hundred and twenty days. 1t
is said that buoy of sufficient SIZE will
contain gas enough to furnish the light
for one year. During that time the flame
is steady and constant night and day,
requiring no attention whatever after
once put in operation. The lantern at
tached to the buoy admits air enough to
feed the flame, but not q particle of
water can enter.
The most violent gales, the greatest
force of the waves, submerging even be-
meath them, has no effect upon this light.
It burns with undimned brightness as
long as gas is in its reservoir. The hight,
it is said, can he thrown six or seven
miles in clear weather. Salty deposits
are not mad. ON the glass of the lanterns,
as has been demonstrated. The rehlling
of the buoy at certain intervals Is per
formed by tender and requires but
few minutes time 1t is done by passing
the gas from o store holder, Which con-
tains the gas compressed to ten atmos-
pheres, by means of flexible tube into
the buoy to pressure Of six atmos-
pheres

Fatal Boiler Explosion.

attended " " shocking loss Of life. Tho en-
ployes had just gone to work and some of them
were adjusting the pump which feeds the
boiler. There was a very heavy head of steam
on, and the pump commenced working,
throwing cold water into the boiler, when
suddenly there was deafening explosion. AS
soon as citizens could gather, it was found
that the following persons were instantly
killed Hodson Clark, Robert Randall, George
Wesler, William Yankee, Lewis Mann, William

"Charles Dali and Harry Cotton,
members of the Olympic Club, were ont
duck shooting. While trying to cross
one of the sloughs at low tide Harry got
mired, sinking in the soft mud up TO his
armpits. 1t was impossible for Charles
to assist him, through fear of getting
mired also. The tide was rapidly COM
ing in; no time wns to be lost, for in
twenty minutes it would be over Harry's
head. On the bank was piece of gas
pipe about five feet long. This Mr..
Dali managed to get to Harry, who stuck
in the mud, put it to bis mouth. and
when the tide raised over his head

Charlie went for help to the draw

with ropes, and when the tide recedcd
again rescued his friend, who was almost
dead from exhaustion.

Chinese Printing.

BLOCKS for complete work can thus be
slowed away in very small compass.
The cost of engraving page OF these
wooden blocks is said to be but little
more than the expense OF setting up
page OF Chinese type and preparing it
for the press. An edition of one copy
can be printedif no more are required,
and thus the expense of keeping large
stock of printed books on hand Is en-
tirely avoided. Any errors or misprints
that may be discovered can. as rule, be
corrected on the blocks with but very
little trouble. A skillful printer can
print by hand 5000 leaves of two pages

The bonanza stocks, us California and
Consolidated Virginia have always been
known, reached their highest valuation
in the San Francisco market on the 9th
of January, 1875 Each mine was then
divided in los, 900 shares, and California
sold at $3.50 per share. Subsequently
both mines were divided into SAC, 900
shares each, and they have ever since
sold on the same basis. This is equiva-
lent to $l56 for California and S143 for
Consolidated Virginia. No one would
have thought that in seven years from
that time California would be selling at
10 cents per share. But this is the
record. California is now selling for
only one third of the assessment money
collected few weeks ago,

A VIRGINIA Nimrod writes to Rich
mond paper describing an incident of
one of his hunting expeditions which he
says he can prove. He discovered a
hen duck within easy range of his gun,
and discharged both barrels, breaking
her wing. Pulling his boat a little
nearer he fred again, killing the duck
apparently. He then picked her up,
removed the feathers and entrails, cut
off her head and put the body in the
water to wash off the blood, when to his
amazement it swan away Mt lively
pace. He seized the oars again, and
after an animated chase secured his
game, which gave him no further trou-
BILE. The promising liars of the Sazerac
Club could hardly beat this.

named, we're shown by the volumes
themselves TO be as follows:

In his speech in the Senate ON the sub
iect of land frauds Senator Van Wyck,
Of Nebraska, made some statements go
ing to show the pressing need of such an
amendment to the existing laws as will
protect the public domain from the
horde of plunderers who are using dis
honest means to possess it. Senator
Van Wyck explains that under the law
as it now stands the surveyors of town.
ship lands receive in payment certificates
emitting them to take public lands wher-
ever they can find them, and that as a
result OF this system contracts are
awarded by the United States Surveyor
Generals in the different Territories for
the survey of worthless lands at extrav-
agant prices, payable in certificates,
which are used to secure valuable lands
in other locations and that in this way
millions of acres have been filched.
Under the former law these certificates
could be used only in securing the lands
for the surveying of which they were
issued, but an unwise amendment has
placed a premium upon collision and
fraud in the manner described.
