The California Salmon industry.
Sacramento (Cal.) Record.

Although a small nuna Der of salmon
are caught daily by the fishermen, the
regular spring run will not commeace
until about the first of April. This in
dustry seems to have been'everdone in
this state, and Gamers are consequent
ly discouraged. The catch last year
was almost a failure. The Contra
Costa Gazette says: ''There were
], 200 to 1,300 boats engaged in the
businesslast year between San Fran
cisco and the upper waters of the
Sacramento. This year the number
Of boats will be diminished by at least
500. Booth. one of our prominent
Gamers, will send many Of his boats
to Alaska. It IS presumed that the
runs this year Will be- far better than
last year, but cannery men will not
pay the prices formerly paid, as can
ned salmon never brought so low
price as st present. This is the natural
result OF inJudicious canning. The
market has not been overstocksd ex-
actly, bat the poor fish sent abroad
have brought the trade into disrepute.
In Alaska there are several varieties
of salmon, only g few of which are
marketable. But the Gamers in their
greed have put up and exported poor
varieties, thus bringing canned salmon
into dis,epute, To make matters
worse, San Francisco Gamers, during
the season, put up fsh that were par
TALLY deonposed and utterly unfit to
eat. Reputable Gamers have suffered
in consequence along with their guilty
brethren Ia trade. The salmon indus
try is of 100 nuch value to the coast
to be thus injured, and Gamers who
put up rome but the best fish should
take the necessary steps to protect
themselves. The Gamers that for
m6rly supplied boats and nets to fish
ermen, and shoe .thrsad for making
nets, will not DO so this year. At
least one half of he canneries that
run last year Will do nothing during
the present year Another great
drawback to the salmon trade along
the straits and rivers of California is
the fact that salmon can be procured
ia Alaska for from 10 to 15 cents
each. The salmon interests are of
great value to this state and should be
protee ted by proper legislation.

Squirrel elssWisdOm.
Good Cheer

Solomon, in his day, described
-four things which are little in the
earth, but ex ceedingly wise"-the ant
the coney Ca kind OF rabbit, the locust
and the spider. IF he had seen our
squirrels, he might have added them
to the number. In regard to one of
the rarest exhibitions Of the instinct
of these ANIMALS, western paper has
the following:
Someone has deposited in our cabin
ct of curiosities half-dozeh butter
nut shells in the state In which they
were left picked of their kernel by a
sqirrel. Attention is called to the
economy of the little rodent by pencil
marks on the paper under them, as
follows:
It will be observed:
L. That the opening is on the side
of the nut which gives access to the
fat side of the kernel.
2. That the opening Is nearest to
the end of the nut, where the most of
the kernel lies.
3. That the opening is no larger
than is absolutely necessary-less than
IN inch square.
4. That all of the kernel is extract
ed.
How does the squirrel know, before
trying, exactly where and how the
kernel Iies2 There is only one nut in
a great hoard which showed aiiability
of the squirrel to make mistake. On
this he began to gnaw on the wrong
side, but he was evidently deceived by
the unusual prominence of the line
that passes round the nut at right an
giles to the mesial. He soon discover
ed his mistake, however, and worked
round, and struck the kernel at the
right spot.

Will It Make the Desert Bloom!


Can desert be rendered fertile and
fruitful by putting q portion of it
under water? On the supposition that
such q desirable result is attainable,
the French are about to carry out the
long talked of scheme Of flooding the
Sahara which is balow sea level. by
means OF canal which will admit the
waters Of the Mediterranean to the
depressed basins of the great African
desert, which are Immediately south
of the French possessions of Tunis and
Algeria. By this means it is expected
to overflow about 5000 square miles
of sandy and vast territory and create
an inland sea very nearly as large as
cur own Lake Erie.
The evaporation Of water in the vi
cinity OF a desert does not of itself
help the land, except to make its
winds, when off the water, less parch-
ing than they would be if the water
were not there. Thera must be moun~
tains or cross currents of air of lower
temperature to cool the saturated
atmosphere and compQl it to release
some portion of it's water, else the
thirsty earth will feel the moisture
laden wind pass over it without receiv-
lag from it a single droe. The pro
posed Sahara lake can not fail to
greatly increase the rainfall of North
ern Africa where the Atlas Mountains
act as a great condenser of moisture.
Perhaps by this means the fertile belt
which borders the Mediterranean will
be considerably widened, and France
be repaid thereby for it's gift of water
to the desert. At any rate, the pro-
ject is most interesting one, and we
hope the Frenca people will push
through and prove by actual expert
ment whether or not it is possible to
reclaim and render habitable any con-
siderable portion cf the great Sahara
desert.

An Aged Planter and His Tree.

In Montgomery county, says a
Macon journal. there is pear tree 81
years old, which has not failed to
bear a crop of fruit in over so years.
The tree was set out by Stafford Davis
in 1898. The fruit resembles the
sard pear IN shape and flavor. The
tree is six feet in circumference. By
the way, it would not be amiss to
state that Mr.. Davis is now resident
Of Worth county, where he removed
from Montgomery many wears ago.
He is now 107 years old. He married
four years ago (at the age of 103) a
young lady of Is years. Mr.. Davis
is farmer, and made a good crop
last year. He plows regularly through
the working season.

Scaling Mount R0raima.
New York Sun.

The top of Roralma, perhaps the
most remarkable mountain IN the
werld, has at last been reached by
Everard 4. i'm Thurn, who was sent
to South America last October by
three of the leading societies of Great
Britain to study the famous mountain
and its wonderful surroundings. and
to learn If it was really inaccessib le,
as other travellers reported. A tele-
gram from him announcing that he
had reached the top has just been re-
ceiyed III England.
Humbolt once said that 40 rock
1,600 feet in perpendicular height had
been found in the Swiss Alps. Rora-
ina lifts above its sloping sides a
block of red sandstone, about 1000
feet hight, some of the faces of which,
according to Sir Robert Schomburgk.
are 'as perpendicular as if erected
with plumo line" It is the highest
and most wonderful of a group of
table-topped mountains situated in
almost an inaccessible part of British
Guiana. Its flat top was believed to
be about seven miles square, but Mr..
i'm Thurin's dispatches say the nearly
level summit is twelve miles long,
and that is covered with vegetation.
The mountain sides are sloping and
wooded to the height of 1850 feet
above the sea. Then rise the vertical
walls of the vast sandstone forna-
ton. Cascades pour over the edge,
the water falling 1900 feet to the for
ests below, forming the source of
rivers that, starting from the same
place, separate widely and flow to the
Orinoco, the Essequibo and the
Amazon. Other cascades break out
from the sides of tho mountain a
little way below it's summit. In the
rainy season some of the streams thus
formed are impossible. The rivers
that fall from its crowns surround
Roraima with perpetually moist
atmosphere, which explains in part
the remarkable development of it's
fora. The three botanists who visited
the mountain found MANY plants
there that were new to science. OF
about 500 species of ferns growing ON
the slopes of Roraima, nearly one
half are peculiar to it.
From 1885 to 1882 seven white
travellers visited the mountain. All
Of them left it owing 10 lack OF pro
visions, before they had surveyed it
on all sides. All but two pronounced
It's summit unattainable. Whitley
said perhaps il was accessible from
the west side. which he had not seen.
Another visitor refrained from ex-
pressing an opinion. Only McTrck
and Bodden Wetham ever saw the
west side of the mountain. They
caught glimpse of it. and thought
it a repetition of the other faces. 1t
was this side that Nj. i'm Thurn hop
ed to scale, though he thought the
north side would, perhaps, offer
means of ascent. He said be would
not employ balloon in his attempts
to reach the top. 1t will be highly
interesting to learn how he gained
the goal that crowned his labor with
perfect succee9, and to get the result
of his scien1.fc studies on the $50
lated but verdure crowned table top,
and on the slopes below which his
latest dispatch says ''are a very gar
den of orchids and most beautiful
and strange plants"

American Refinement.
Albany Evening Journal.


Ii the American people are still
somewhat crude and provincial, it is
not because they are lacking in SEN
sltlveness TO impressions, but rather
because of the circumstances of their
surroundings 10 a country which is
comparatively new. Your true Am
erican really possesses lively imag-
lnation. He is restless, sanguine and
dissatisfied with results. It would be
a great mistake TO regard him as
above all things practical. The early
struggles of the pioneers and the
rapidly progressing development OF
the country have by the force of here
dlty and environment turned his at
tention to material enterprise. At
heart he is an idealist. A very few
generations hence, and we shall see
ais artistic longings struggle for a
higher expression. Indeed, they al
ready are.
Long ago he manifested this tenn
perament in that which came nearest
to him by shaping in fitting and
graceful forms the implements of his
daily toll. American tools have been
for years the models of the world, not
only in their adaptability for use, but
also for their artistic forms. For
several years we have been giving
unprecedented attentions to the
problem of beautifying our homes and
adjoining our cities with the most
pleasing forRs of architecture. This
impulse will go on, growing broader
IN It's application and more earnest
and concentrated IN its purpose.
The true American, according to his
lights, really cultivates a spirit of re-
finement He is not surrounded and
impelled by the traditions which have
built up and guarded social systems
in the old world. He has very little
OF that sort of refinement Of manner
which becomes ingrained into a
man Sy mechanical force of long train
ing. But the mate refinement is
there. The men of no other nation
show such really chivalrous and
polite attention to women. A woman
in this county might travel 10000
miles and meet with nothing but the
most considerable and unobtrusive
courtesy from all classes and condi-
tiens of men; while under the same
circumstances in Europe she would
be insulted Or annoyed a hundred
times by those who are called gentle
men. Scarcely less is the agreeable
courtesy which exists between man
and man among Americans when
they meet as strangers
The seeming roughness and inartis-
tic quality of Americans is only ap
parent and superficial. We and our
fathers for generations before us have
been fighting a tough battle with
Nature. We are still q great deal alb
sorbed and somewhat confused In the
struggle. We have hardly taken
breath and relaxed Our efforts for a
good look around us to sec what life
holds in the way Of finer enjoyments.
But the time is coming when the din
of battle will slacken. Then it will
be found that the American people
have the native temperament that
| Will be fruitful soil for the growth Of
the humanities. Then we may ex-
pect in literature and art and ip all
which makes life beautiful and de-
sirable, America will lead. as she
now leads in the field of material pro
gress.
