be allowed to deliver any of their goods

Two other young men, who have been

A Quintet of Ancient Indians.

Before United States Commissioner in
Chanccry, at Los Angeles, Cal, evidence
was taken recently in the suit of the
United States with John Marcngo and
other Indians, rs nominal plaintiffs,
against John North and Richard Grid,
over tract of 40, 900 acres in San Bcr
nartlino County. The Government claims
the land belonged to the POtrcro Indian
Reservation, while the defendants hold
the title through the Southern Pacific
Company. For the purpose of establish
ing the Indian claim number of ancient
aborigncs had been brought into court.
-Four had seen century Of life and all
had outlived the Scriptural life-span.
Erect, 1.-the and active these old warriors
who had been uncarthcd after diligcnt
search i'll Yuma Desert bclcd their cx-
IRENE age. Juan Sabcria, the eldest,
whose chronoscript points at 1875 years,
saw the old mission church at San Gabriel
built in 1888, when he was just emerging
from boyhood. Juan Cahuilla, with n
weight of lis years, looked sharply and
brightly about him. Next TO him stood
eighty year-old Harabasio Cahezon, the
chief of the Mission Indians, and son of
the redoubtablc former Chief, who got
tired of life when 140 summers had rolled
behind him. His ncighbor, Francisco
Apache, whose surname is due to his hay
ing secured hide from the Apache
camp, with which tribe he had been on
the warpath, keeps the others company
with record of los years, and perhaps
more, as he insists on having seen the
mission church go up. The last of the
quintet, Ramon Largo, puts his years
modestly at 104. The testimony of the
Indians was that from their earliest rccol-
lection and from tradition the land in
question had been in undisputcd posses
sion of their race.-GloJe- Democrat.

The SnrgnsSo Sen.

The name Sargasso Sea is applied to
region of the Atlantic covered by n pecu-
liar iloating scawccd, sometimes in tangled
masses of wide extent and sometimes ONLY
in scattered plants, says the Chicago m
Ter Occah. These fields of scnwccd wcro
noticed by Columbus on his first voyage,
to the alarm and nnnzcmcnt Of his com
panions. Since TINT time observation has
shown that the number Of these plants
and their geographical position are prac-
ideally unchanged. The principal bnnls
OF these plants, ms located by Captain
l.cps, of the French navy, one OF the
most accurate Of observers, il between
latitude 81 degrees and % degrees north
and longitude 20 degrees and 15 degrees
west. smaller bank lies between the
Bahamas and the I,crmudas.
The SargasSo Sea corresponds 10 The
great centre or eddy Of The North Allan
TIC system Of currents, of which the Gulf
Stream forms so important part Con-
corning the plant which is found grow
ing in this curious manner, it may be
noted that il is usually four or five inches
in length, with main stem branching
into secondary ones, and there is no trace
of root in the plant. Between the long!
pointed leaves there are small round mir
vessels about MS large us currents, sup
ported on short stems. These mir vessels
were ut first thought TO be fruits, and tho
plant thus received its name from - Port,l-
gucso word meaning grapes but investi-
CATION has shown that these small bulb
blcs nrc meant to serve the purpose Of
floats, AS when they are cut off the plant
sinks. Examination Of several thousand
specimens under microscope also shows
The plant to be as absolutely destitute of
modification ms of roots, and it is now nc-
ccpted as fact that the plant propagatcs
only by division. There is n Sargasso sea
in the Pacific Ocean, north of the Sand
