Great Ocean DEPTHS,

The British surveying ship Egeria under the
command of Captain z. Aldlich, r. n, has
recently made two very deep sea soundngs
According to Nature, these depths We're 4 ,29j
fathoms and 4,43O fathoms equal to five Eng
fish miles,. The latter was in latitude "a deg.
81 min. south, longitude 175 deg. min. west
the former about twelve miles to the south
ward.
The greatest known ocean depth, 4,65j
fathoms, was obtained by the United States
steamer Tuscarora, off the northeast coast of
Japan. The Challenger expedition found an
abyss of 4,415 fathoms south of the Ladrone
Islands, and the United States ship Blake dis
covered one of 4,56l fathoms north of Porto
Rico. But the depths sounded by Captain
Aldrich exceed by more than mile any pre-
yiously found in any of the Southern oceans.

New Law and Form Book.


The Bancroft Company has issued a
new law and form book for business men,
compiled and arranged by Frank Trip.
lett, Esq. An examination of this publ.
cation discloses many important merits
it has over similar works. 1t unites the
simplicity and brevity of modern statute
requirements with the safe, established
wording of the common law. Besides
the forms, it gives condensed summary
Of the general law of all subjects treated
upon, and in such manner as to make
their meaning plain to the ordinary
mind. The summary is supplemented
by the statute requirements of the
States and Territories, and copious refer
ences to Supreme Court decisions upon
the various subjects embodied in the
forms. In this way not only the form to
be used is clearly presented, but the
reader is supplied with safe and certain
means OF judging whether it conforms to
the statutes and will stand the test of
the courts OF final appeal. This is new
and valuable method and should com
mend the work to the public.

NOTWITHSTANDING the assurance that
Gen. Harrison would in no case tender
the appointment Of Secretary Of State to
Mr.. Blaine the Associated Press advises
us that the overture has already been
made to the Plumed Knight, and that he
now has the matter under advisement.
The Republican President-elect could
not have done less than this. The whole
issue Of the campaign was created by
Mr.. Blaine and all its animation and pur-
pose on the Republican side emanated as
directly from him as does light from the
sun. There has been as yet nothing dis
closed which indicates what Blaine's
course will be, although the precedent
set by him when Garfield was elected
ought TO be evidence enough that James
g, has weakness for the portfolio Of the
State Department. The suggestion has
been made that the Plumed knight should
be sent as Ambassador to the court OF
st. James, instead OF Minister Plenipo-
tentiary and Envoy Extraordinary, the
usual and recognized status Of American
ministers to foreign countries. This was
advanced as very polite way of getting
rid Of J. G. B. 1t would be very offen-
sive to the people of the United States,
who do not wish to see any new tangled
Offices created to suit his humor or that
of any other ,aan. Very much more
illustrious mel than he have acted as
Ministers to foreign courts, notably
Thomas Jeffe. son, who represented this
country at the court of France. While
there would Ie objections to this new
tangled exped ent to cater to the vanity
or self-importance OF the Republican
Warwick. the great body Of the American
people would be quite content to see him
at the head of Harrison's cabinet. They
think that he has earned this recogni-
| ton. While he has lot OF enemies in
his own party, he has ten friends within
it's ranks to one that any other Republi-
can can claim. He has triumphed over
the whole Mugwump crowd at the polls,
and it is very unlikely that he will allow
the fruits OF victory to slip from his
grasp. He would be very eccentric
politician if he did. The fact that his
enemies don't want him in the Cabinet
will in all probability make the Pine Tree
statesman infexible in his determination
to sit at its head.

CAPTAINS ANswoRTH and Thompson
have become heavily interested in Ingle-
wood, having purchased large blocks of
the company's stock. They propose to
build big hotel at Redondo and improve
the harbor facilities Of that place. These
are the gentlemen who were largely con-
cerned in exploiting the Oregon Naviga-
tion Company before Willard got control
of it. The evidences multiply every day
that a great movement of development
is Just ahead for Los Angeles. Ingle-
wood is one of the most charming regions
in Southern California and we are glad
to be able to record it's growth, which is
more than ever insured when such gen.
tlemen as the Messrs. Ainsworth and
Thompson identify themselves with it.

son, who was an almost nightly attend
ant. While she was patting Mambrino
Kings glossy neck several spectators
quietly commented on the fact that Ken
tucky women have an inherent love for
horses. While that is true, it is not true
that Mary Anderson is daughter of the
Blue Grass State. She was born in Los
Angeles, CAL, where her stepfather, DR.
Hamilton Griffin, owned a ranch OF
2S,0O0 acres, which he foolishly sold for
81 an acre. 1t is now worth g fabulous
sum. Mary Anderson's father was an
officer in the Confederate service and was
killed during the war. Her stepfaths sr
was surgeon in the Confederate army.
There is nothing like going from home
to hear the news. We have clipped the
foregoing from the New York World. 1t
isa curious hodge-podge. Our New York
contemporary mixes up DIR. Griffin, the
stepfather of Mary Anderson, with G.
Hamilton Griffin, the noted swindler,
who is now in jail up in Victoria, B. G.
We suspect, also, that there is a confused
mingling OF our esteemed fellow. citizen,
DR.. John S. Griffin, as the owner of the
large ranch. Take it for all in all, it
would have been hard to have made a
more ludicrous series Of blunders. Miss
Anderson was born in Sacramento and
neverssaw Los Angeles. She remains,
however, the most charming actress ex-
tant, and the Angelehos will welcome
her as though she were to the Semi.
Tropic manor born.

Chronicle and other leading San Fran
cisco papers 10 devote come Of their space
occasionally to frank exposition of the
attractions OF Southern California. Those
journals ought to realize that the growth
of any portion of this State is factor in
the onward imperial march of their own
metropolitan city. Their failing to do
this is causing feeling of alienation in
the southern portion OF the State which
will undoubtedly tend to vitalize the
movement for a State of South Cali

The Fall.


The festive fly has ceased to tease
And hushed is the mosquitoes song,
And people on such nights as these
May slumber sweetiy, slumber long.

And landscapes fair around rs lie,
And maids and matrons have begun
Their autumn clothes to make or buy.

Poor man, before the prices rise,

THURSDAYS Chronicle, basing its judg.
ment upon the increase in the vote this
year over that of 1886, estimates that
the census of 1890 will show a population
of 100000 in California, or nearly
double that disclosed by the census Of
1880. This is quite likely, and it shows
most gratifying increase for the whole
State. Our contemporary fails to point
out the fact that more than half this
marvellous advance is in Southern Cali
fornia. In Los Angeles county the vote
has increased about 1872 per cent. in the
last two years. The Chronicle thinks
that the outlook for the Golden State is
especially bright, and predicts grand
future for San Francisco. It is undoubt.
edly right on both of these propositions.
A new era is dawning for the Coast.
This is especially true of the southern
counties of California. The railway de.
velopments already accomplished and
under way hereabouts will make this
city one of the greatest railway centers
OF the world, and grand commercial
growth is certain to be its outcome
Railways have superseded water ways
to great extent. 1t is no longer looked
upon as of the first importance that city
should be situated on river or harbor.
In the old days the great rivers of the
country were looked upon as the only
proper places in which to locate cities.

business Of Pittsburg and Cincinnati il
transacted over their railway connections.
Their wharves are lined with steam.

The transcontinental railways which
center in Los Angeles will bring ten
people annually to Southern California
to one that arrived in the whole State
from all sources len years ago. Our
innumerable resources are but in the in.
fancy of their development. 1t would be
a gracious and proper thing for the

AMERICAN magazines of high standing

AMERICAN magazines of high standing
are discussing the question of suburban
homes instead of hotels and boarding
houses as refugees from the heat of
large cities. The discussion is being
carried on from the standpoint of econ
omy, but more from that of sociology.
The view generally taken is greatly in
favor Of the suburban homes, especially
from the latter point of view. 1t may
seem far-fetched matter to bring up in
Los Angeles, but little reflection will
correct that mistake. Los Angeles City
is rapidly approximating population of
100000. The growth of this city will not
be checked until it is three times it's
present size Already the heart of the
city is becoming crowded, and with this
condition is found of course more tend
ency to sickness than prevails in small
places sparsely inhabited. Then from the
point of economy, as the city increases in
population rents will become very high.
There will thus spring up demand for
suburban homes Of two classes. One is
the place where wealthy people may go
and find cool retreat during the warm
months. The other is place not too
far from the city and connected there
with by means of some sort of a rapid
transit road, so that the toiler can come
in in the morning and return
in the evening. 1t must not be
over from thirty to sixty minutes
from the center Of the city. In the next
five years there will be great demand
for homes of both these classes. For
tunately there is no lack ofroom. For q
distance of fifteen to fifty miles in all direc-
tions are eligible places embracing many
lovely spots. All tastes can be suited.
One may have q cottage by the seaside,
or he may choose retreat on the brow
OF the mountain. There is
the accessible foothill and the
fertile plain to select from. A little ex-
penditure Of money, patience to wait
only one year, and any spot selected can
be ma de beautiful with all the flowers
that bloom and with hundred varieties
Of the choicest shrubs and ornamental
trees. This section is really but chry-
sails. In few more years it will expand
into q wonderful beauty, with it's stately
homes, it's embowered cottages, its
flower gardens, lawns and parks.
