WaIrus-Hunting in the Pacific.

Notwithstanding is by no means a
novelty in adventures, since it has
been carried on from time out of
mind, but in the past the beasts were
slaughtered merely for their tusks and
blubber, their hides being thrown
away as worthless. Modern ingenuity,
however, has discovered an important
use for the walrus hide, and to-day
that which was once regarded as offal
is looked upon as the most useful part
of the animal. Emery wheels, so gen
orally in use, are when constructed
on the old method, liable when run at
high speed to burst in fragments, en-
dangering the lives of those who
work around them, and consequently
experiments have been made from
time to time to devise some substitute
for the ordinary emery wheel. After
various substances had been tried,
giving greater or less satisfaction, it
was ascertained that walrus hide was
the most suitable material for that
purpose, possessing as it does the
qualities of tou9hnesS, durability and
susceptibility. e.: it is strong, does
not wear out. and rapidly receives and
retains the emery powder. This is APP
piled by pressing it into the porous
substance of the hide, and of this the
entire emery wheel of to-day is made.
AS these wheels are in great demand
the price Gf w3irus hide has advanced
in corresponding ratio until they now
sell for 10 cents per pound, and, as a
single hide will weigh from 500 to
1000 pounds, they are well worth
taking. Notwithstanding has, there
fore, become an important industry,
and although now in its infancy will,
beyond doubt, become rival of whal-
ing in the near future. Nor is the
hide the only valuable part of the
walrus, as a fine oil is obtained from
the blubber of equal value with whale
oil, and with the great diminution in
the production of elephant ivory the
tusks are daily enhancing in value as an
important article of commerce.-San

A Winter Drought.

The writer spent three months of the
winter of 1886-'S7 in and around the
cities of Los Angeles and Santa Bar
bara in Southern California. The
previous summer had been no excep-
ton to the rule, and the whole country
received no rain from the last of April
the lOng-expected rains did not come
until the middle of February, and we
left in the midst of the raging floods.
The wild plants, therefore, which we're
in bloom from December until Feb
ruarv. had not felt the invigorating
influences of water from the clouds
for nearly ten months.
1t is the purpose of this paper to call
attention to the winter blooming,
plants found upon the highlands, or
at least not growing along the streams
or within easy reach of water coming
from any natural springs or other
perennial sources of moisture. The
roadways for example, during the
winter, were deep with dust, and every
passing breeze carried the impalpable
powder in fine cloud over all sur
rounding objects.
The first plant bearing blossoms
that attracted our attention was the
western bindweed (ConUoIUuluS occi-
deHtatis, Cray. This perennial,
twning herb seemed to flourish in the
driest earth, and hung out its white or
purplish flowers to catch the dust as
well as the winter sunshine. Unlike
its first cousin, the common morning.
glory, as we see in the east, this wild
convolvulus keeps its flowers open
the whole day through, and, for aught
we know, for several days in success
sion. This would only be in keeping
with other living things in that quiet
lazy climate, while there is no real
winter, or the activity exhibited among
plants in localities where they must
prepare for impending frosts.-Prof.
