The Colossal Statues Of the
Pacific.

San Francisco Chronicle.
Quite lately fresh attention has
been directed to the extraordinary re-
mans which are found on Easter
island, which lies about 1900 miles
west of the coast of Peru, within easy
sail of San Francisco. Everybody
remembers the colossal statues found
in profusion on this island, monoliths
representing men forty feet high and
nine feet across the shoulders. They
are made of the country rock of the
island, but it is quite evident that
they are not the work of the natives,
who are q low race Of savages, with
out tools capable of carving in stone
or machinery suitable for moving
heavy weights. The question is, how
did they come there? It has been
suggested that Easter island is the re-
mains of submerged continent,
which was inhabited by a civilized
race. But Sclater, whose theories are
regarded with respect, makes Easter
island the terminus of the southern
migration of mankind from his fancied
continent of Lemuria.
Fer the benefit of those who are not
familiar with his studies it may be ex.
planned that Sclater was believer in
the hypothesis which ascribes to man.
kind single origin from a single race
according to the Bible. He held that
Paradise, from which all men origin
ally came, was continent lying south
of Ceylon; to this continent he gave
the name Lemuria, from lemur,
which means ghost, but which name
Linnaus gave to race of monkeys.
Sclater believed that from Lemuria
man migrated into Africa, into Asia,
and thence into Europe and America,
and likewise into Polynesia, one stream
of emigrants pushing their way as far
east as Easter island. 1t is evidently
worth while to study these Eastern
Island statues and see what light they
can shed-if any-on the early history
of our race, and nowhere can that
history be prosecuted to such advan>
tage az in San Francisco. The navy
would probably be quite
willing to direct one Of our ships Of
war to collect two or three of the col
lossal statues and bring them here, if
We provide place for the reception.
This exhibit alone would draw swarms
of visitors to San Francisco.

Wheat Harvest In California.

~~y An'Ah6, hAO sAO AOphCdA
countries, only two seasons, is pecu-
liarly adapted to the culture of wheat
in its interior valleys The valley of
the San Joaquin with the Sacramento
furnishes some of the largest wheat
fields in the United States, being
rivalled only by those of the Red val
ley. The soil is what is called "adobe"
which, when wet becomes very sticky,
and on drying becomes like stone.
Roads almost impossible in the vet
season become as hard and smooth as
the finest macadamized roads. Crops,
other than wheat cannot be raised ex-
cept by irrigation. As the wheat is
fully grown by the time the dry sea-
con commences, it is very nice to have
the grain ripened sufficiently dry for
threshing at the time it is cut. C.m-
bined machines for cutting and thresh-
ing wheat at the same time are in
creasing in number very fast.
On reaching grain field ones at
tention is drawn to an object which
has an appearance similar to a house
of small size moving by its own power
through the field, which stretches as
far as one can see in ali Girec-
tons. On its near approach it is
found that instead of moving BY
its own force It is propelled
by twenty very large mules, which
were hidden behind its huge proper
tons. The mules are fastened in two
lines, ten abreast, to long whiffistrees
attached to a heavy timber, at the
back end of which is the wheel which
steers the machine. AS one sits on
top of the machine aad looks behind
he sees the ears and backs of the
mules, and it seems much like putting
the cart before the horse, a habit the
people have here. The pilot sits in
front of the wheel steering, and the
sensation to passenger is as if at sea,
except as the crack of the whip warns
come laggard mule to move faster.
Close to the koives stands q man
who raises or lowers them according
as the grain is tall or not, as all that i
wanted Is to cut just below the heads.
Passing by an endless belt the heads
are csrried to the cylinder or picker
the grain is threshed, and through q
set of sleeves is cleaned and sent along
by a set of scoops to the sack-sewer,
who fills the sacks. Then sewing
them, they are ready for market, and
sliding down an inclined plane lie
ready for the wagon, on which they
are carried to pile of other sacks all
ready to be hauled to market. As
the price at present is very low,
only $1,35 per GENITAL, many |
farmers will leave the grain
in the fields for many weeks,
knowing that there is no danger of |
rain. This immunity from vet makes
the farmers Cor, as they are called
here, ranches) careless, and many
show the improvident way of the
country by leaving q machine which
cost 81, 600 without cover through the
winter. As these machines weigh
'hree or four tons each, their use is
'nly possible in . country where the
oil bakes hard like q pavement.

have a hearty breakfast before being taken
down TO the shore, where they are given a

There is a swing for them, and toys, shovels
