An Une.pIoJcd region.

Tue san LUIS (CaIl nef'uOucs
Hearing report around town that valuable
redwood and yellow pine forest had been dis
covered by R. D. Cook, of this place, about
eighty miles east Of town, We dropped in upon
that gentleman and received full confirmation
from him OF the report 1t seems that about
three weeks ago he became alarmed at the long
dry spell, and in company with another gentle
man he started for the headwaters Of the Sis
quoc in search Of feed for his stock He reports
the scenery along the route after he left civil
ization as exceedingly grand, rlvaling anything
he ever saw In his life. ana he volunteered
the information that he had twice
crossed the plains and been through Central
America. After riding as far as they could they
left their horses and footed it over the noun
tains and through canyons, and near the head
waters OF one Of the tributaries of the Sisquoc
they found themselves upon the brink of a pre-
ciplce over which the waters Ofthe creek poured
with deafening roar. falling distance of 600 to
700 feet. He threw rock over the brink to test
the distance, and waited to hear it strike the
bottom, but after waiting some time he con-
GUIDED it had lodged on the way down.
and was turning to leave, when the
rnmbling intonations told him it had
just reached the bottom. The view from this
point was grand and awe-inspiring, and If
properly opened to the public would rival the
yosemite as an attraction. Fish and game
abound, and to illustrate the plentifulness of
the former, he stated that his companion on
several occasions took common gunny sack
and fastened it at a rife, and would drive
enough fish into it while he was making fire
to serve them for a meal. In coming down
canyon they discovered redwood forest that
has never before been known to exist in that
locality. He describes it's extent to be from
"a to three miles long, and from three-quarters
to one mile wide. The trees were from
l to 6 feet in diameter, and to use his own
words, there is enough timber there to fence
this valley into ten-acre lots" On the oEIer
edge OF this grove he found a tree that had been
felled years and years ago by chopping around
1t with tOmahawk. the blade of which was not
over three inches wide. He is confident that no
other white man ever stepped feet inside the
grove, for, said he, it would have been impossi-
BILE to have reached 1t q year ago; but about that
time a forest fire burned offthe thick underbrush
for miles this side and made it possible for them
to reach the grove on foot. He does not think
that the discovery of the forest or the magnif-
cent falls will be OF any value for years to come
because of the difficulty of building roads to
them, but nevertheless he intends to start out
IN short time and further explore that inter-
esting region.

neus, the phosphoric light produced was not
continuous; 1t manifested itself in chickering's or
sparks, which were shot out from the corolla,
and resembled somewhat those given by an
electric machine. Other observers agree with
these statements, and remark that the plants in
question are most luminous on calm, sultry
evenings, when the air is highly charged with
electricity, and have never been noticed to emit
light when the atmosphere is very damp. In
the phenomena remarked by Fries the phos-

Ing. The weather was warm and sultry, and
the luminous phenomenon was best observed by
looking at group Of poppies without fixing the
eyes upon any one flower in particular.

to the flowers of phanerogamic plants; they
have been seen starting about the leaves OF
Enothera macrOcarpa. The latex or Juice of

markable in the cip0 or EuphOrba phosphorea
