MOUND FORMATIONS N CALIFORNIA.

The small mounds rising from one to
four feet, and being from ten to fifty feet
in width, and between which the depres-
sions are 30 remarkably regular in con-
cavity and regularity OF occurrence, have
attracted much attention in California,
where great plains are often char
acteristically marked by them. They are
generally so close together and so numer.
GUS, that when viewed at an acute angle
the plain appears as if regularly and arti-
fcially corrugated. The origin of these
hiIlocks has been the theme of much
speculation, ranging from the wash of long
since receded seas, to Indian purposeful-
ness.
Blu. nothing has been advanced to ac-
coun. for these formations that has so
much Of reasonableness to support it, as

ORIGIN OF THE PoTATo potato,
originally a South American plant, was iu-
troduced to Virginia by Sir John Harvey
in 1929, though it was unknown in some
counties of England hundred and fifty
years later. In Pennsylvania, potatoes are
mentioned very soon after the advent of
the Quakers; they were not among New
York products in 1895, but in I775 we are
told of II, 900 bushels grown on one six
teen.acre patch in this province. Potatoes
were served, perhaps as an exotic rarity, at
a Harvard installation dinner in 10Y; but
the plant was only brought into culture in
New England at the arrival of the Presby.
terisn immigrants from Ireland in us.
Five bushels were accounted large crop
of potatoes for Connecticut farmer; for
it was held that, If man ate them every
day. he could not live beyond seven years.

light of the facts and the tests made, we
cannot but express our surprise at the
statement of our evening contemporary
that the works have always proved equal
t. tie emergency, and are capable O. throw.
ing six good streams over almost any build
ing in the city if properly handled" How
ever, all these questions can be settled by =
test. But any test made should be with
all gates open as for domestic service, and
as maximum test, precisely as boiler in
spected, when it is submitted to far greater
strain than its ordinary service requires.
Under such test the boiler is pronounced
safe by the inspectors, but never when Its
resistance only comes up to the usual de-
mands made upon il.
We assume that no one will advocate the
displacement of the extra men what
ever system we have, they and the truck
men cannot be ignored. The economy
proposed will therefore be the abandon
ment of one OF the present steamer com.
psnies, and the non.necessity Of establish.
ing third company in the east end. If
the proposed new system then is set up, it
must be only after thorough demonstra-
ton of its feasibility; until then the fire
department must not be disturbed. We
cannot afford to indulge in mere expert
ments. Moreover, whatever is done must
be done as a business measure purely.
Whoever brings political influences or
questions into the consideration should be
so emphatically sat down upon that he
will never be heard from again. AIore and
more clearly the people are realizing that
municipal affairs should be conducted on a
business basis, and that political questions
have nothing whatever to do with them.

some of the many nice things they have

than satisfied. The Press Association
