1t is curious to note IN the above analyses
that, n Notwithstanding the great differences
in the appearance of the three materials.
they do not differ widely in most points of
their composition. The prominent points
OF difference are that the surface soil con-
tains 10 per cent. more of inert matter fine
sand) than the other two, but much less
iron and only very minute amount of
phosphoric acid. The latter, however,
increases very rapidly downward, the adobe
containing more than twice as much as the
top soil, and the bedrock" again nearly
twice as much as the adobe, or four times
as much as the surface soil. The def
cheney of the phosphoric acid in the soil is
measurably offset by the fact that nearly
all of it DIG out of .0l9) is in an available
condition, and hence the deficiency has not
been much felt in the past vet it docs
seem quite important that the relatively
large supply in the lower depths should, If
possible be rendered accessible to the
roots of trees. The supply of lime is
nearly the same in all, and probably ade-
quate, although more would be desirable in
the stiff adobe.
1t is certain that this desirable downward
penetration of tree roots is not possible.
when, as near Mayhem station, they en-
counter hard, polished crust covering a
solid hardpan of several feet depth: and
while at Florin the hard crust is less prom
inent and the material less solid. yet its
condition indicates want of drainage
during the wet season, causing the forna-
ton of iron solutions, injurious to the root
! tips, exactly as in The other locality. It is
! obvious that the roHs cannot go far during
the season through such substratum; and
the breaking up d the latter by some
| financially practical de method would seem
/ to be the uecesSary condition for the sue
cess of orchards.
Messrs. Weinstotk & Lubin have at

METROPOLITAN THEATER Miss Rose
Woods Hazel Kirke was finished per-
Torrance last evening. The lady has the
advantage of broad experience and a thor
ough knowledge of dramatic requirements
Her Hazel was marked by womanly dig
nifty and character, was full of feeling. and
moved the audience deeply. Miss Roy's
Dolly was much more in keeping with the
possibility of the character than is usual
with young women who essay the part and
was admirably played. Mr.. Whites Dun
stan was strong representation. In many
respects it was preferable to that of Coul-
dock, who was the first to play it, and give
it prominence in the Madison Square Com
pany. Willie Simms as Pittacus Green was
very happy. Next to Mr.. Bowser, the orig
inal actor in the part, Mr.. Simms is the
best. The part gives him full opportunity
for the exercise of some of the refined COM
edy art. Mrs. Belmour doubled as Mercy
hlrke and Lady Travers, and in both was
excellent, in the first especially so. superior
indeed 10 many in that difficult dialect
role. MIR. Montseratt was the Lord Travers
of the piece and played il acceptably. The
play VIII be repeated at the matinee to-day
again to-night and for the last time to-mor-
row night.

ANoTHEK THEORY

Is that the work was that of desperate
ex- convict, who thought that there must
be considerable money in the house, and
who was familiar with the habits of Kay
and his wife. Still another, that the whole
affair is the work of Cinnamon. who live
near the residence of deceased. and who
have had frequent trouble with him.
There is some shadow gwen to this from
the fact that the knife was of Chinese man
ufacture, but the sheath was of the ordi-
nary class used for dirks and boYie-kniyes
found in stores. Some seem to think that
there are evidences of revenge. as well as

rible crime.

come probably the hest judge in the world
of what is necessary for speed in a boats
model. The Stiletto is ninety-ive feet long
by eleven wide. The principal point Of de
Walton in the Stiletto's design from the
ordinary screw steamboat is the setting of
the propeller at an angle so that in revolving
IL pushes down against the water, so as to
propel the boat not only forward but up out
of the water Almost the same princi pie
was tried by Commodore Noorhis of Nyack-
on-the- Hudson. who built large iron cata-
maran which he named after Longfellow
Ia this boat the propeller was placei at a
similar angle TO that of the Stiletto, but it
was not a success.
This contest of the Stiletto's with the
Mary Powell had much the same elements
Of interest as that Of the memorable contest
in Hampton roads between the novel little
Monitor. and what was considered the over
powerits war vessels o. those days. After
the chsnenge for a race Was given, AMI the
saucy and unknown little Stiletto steamed

steamer ignored the rival as being unworthy
of even notice but when for haif mile or so
the little craft retained her place abreast Of
