Musical Trees.l

A foreign traveller tells of seeing a musi-
cal tree in the West India Island and in
Nubia. 1t has a peculiar shaped leaf and
pods with spit or open edge. The wind
passing through these gives out the sound
which give the tree its peculiar name. In
Barbados there is valley filed with
these trees, and when the wind blows
across the island a constant moaning,
deep-toned whistle is heard from it, which
in the still hours of the night has very
weird and unpleasant effect A specimen
of acacia, which grows very abundant
ly in the Soudan, is also called the
whistling tree" by the natives.
Its shoots are frequently by the agency
Of the Larvae of insects distorted in shape
and swollen into globular bladder from

The Capital of Brazil,

If you have occasion to mention the
capital of Brazil and wish to be exact, you
must say Rio de Janeiro and pronounce it
Reeo day Haynayrayoh. That is Pan
American. 1t means River of January
Tradition says that when the Portuguese
mariners who discovered the Brazilian
coast passed through the narrow gateway
to the harbor and saw the beautiful bay in
the amphitheater OF mountains, surrounded
by eternal verdure, they thought they
were entering the mouth of river that
would lead them to the Enchanted Land.
When they discovered their mistake thev
were so disguised that instead of naming
the river after our Savior or one of the
saints they simply christened it the river
they discovered in January. However.
the city has street called Street of Good
Jesus" and others called st John the
Baptist, "St. John the Evangelist" etc.

From the Telegraph, March 2sth.
John Miller, OF Latrobe, has been ap-
pointed guard at the prison.
Road Overseer Boyd has been doing some
good work on the streets during the last
week or so.
There is an abundance of good feed now.
and stock is fattening up in great shape
a great many residences and gardens are
being cleaned up and improved during the
past week or two. New walks have been
put down and the places freshened up.
During the months of April and May
arrangements will probably be made bv
the Orange Vale colony people for excur-
sions 10 that place. The visitors will be
taken from Folsom in private conveyances.
Frank Whitaker who was accidentally
shot near Orange Vale last week, is doing
well, and will recover. His wound is a
frightful one but will not cause the loss of
his leg.
The work on the power house at the
prison has progressed rapidly, and, if the
fair weather continues, ii will soon assume
very noticeable proportions.
The County Supervisors made an official
visit 10 Folsom on Monday for the pur-
pose of inspecting the roads and streets.
and to look into the matter of the petition
of the Folsom Water Power Company for
the condemning of certain streets, which
will be used in the construction of the
canal, etc.
The dairymen in this vicinity have be-
gun making butter. The amount is greater
than in the past en- account of the a5un-
dance of feed. Butter made by our dairy
men is considered among the best pro-
duced in the State, and there is large and
increasing demand for it.
Work on the boom is progressing in
good shape, and if the weather continues
good il will not be many weeks before all
three of the piers will be finished. a tug
boat is being built, to be first used in tow
ing the large timbers from the dam to the
boom. The timbers will all be at the dam

STATE PRISON QUARRIEs.
AttOrney-General johnson Advises That
They Cannot be Leased.

In reply to questions By President Dew
lin of the State Prison Directors, Attorney
General Johnson says:
Il have found no law authorizing the
State Board of Prison Directors to lease
portion of the State Prison tract at San
Quentin. The constitutional provision
Cart X, Sec. q giving the Board charge
and superintendent of the State Prison
does not, in the absence of specific ieeisla-
ton, confer the power; and in the Act to
regulate and govern the State Prisons Stat.
of 1889, page 400 there is nothing in the
powers and duties Of the Board, as therein
defined. to give such authority I do not
think the law contemplates that the Board
should make contract allowing persons
to work any of the quarries on prison
lands, paying for the rocks so removed al
agreed prices"
