and there 4 glimpse of cool ravincs, in
which are dark-green oaks and silvery-
columned sycamores.
Beyond n grove of stecpled e~ucalypti,
set here for bees to forage in the win
ter, n charming wooded pass winds up
through blossoming olives, and nectar
inc, peach and apple trees, bearing
their green burdens of fruit. Behind q
hedge of willow 4 mountain stream
plays a rollicking tune on the polished
white stones of it's bed. On its brink
long, yellow-tubed flowers were wet
with the spray of its mimic waterfalls.
All up the creek and over it high swing
ing curtains of wild clematis and honey
suckle dropped their looscncd petals on
sparkling pools and banks of fringed
flices. Flame-plumagcd birds dived in
and out of the branches, caroling vocif-
erously above the petulant peep of their
nestlings. On every hillside a galaxy
of golden tulips pressed through the
tasseled grasses. These beautiful flow
ers are the calochortus of pretty
grass of botanists, and the mariposa
lily or butterfy-weed of local writer's.
Their gem-studded petals were in rich
contrast to the indigo hue of towering
larkspurs, and the warm blossoms of a
few early godetia.
To the right of the road n rude dwell
ing was half buried in rank vegetation.
Beside it stood the Twin Oaks" and
their brother trees, under which were
several hundred hives, oil boiling over
with Jealous workers. The stalwart
form of the bee master came forth from
among them, his huge gauntlcts and
thick black vail giving him u bandit
air quite in keeping with the isolation
of the spot. When he welcomed us, how
ever, there was something friendly and
r~eassuring in the glance of the bright
black eyes behind the somber folds of
the bobinct.

I%nreality the fibrous part Of the thread

the weight of the light ring attached. Be
careful that the operation is not exposed
to a draft.
This experiment, which is known I'M

manner Tie four ends of thread to the
four corners of n square piece of mus

whole in strong salt water, then dry it,
repeating the operation three or four
times. AS soon as the muslin and
threads are we'll saturated with the so
luton and thoroughly dry, place an
empty egg in the suspended hammock,
as represented in the illustration. Set
fire t. the hammock, which, with the
threads, will burn, and if this expert
mcnt be well prepared the egg will
remain suspended, to the great astonish-
mcnt of the audience. -,

A Simple Trick That VIII Surprise IN Un-

Dip n thread in strong salt water,
then dry it thoroughly, says the Phila-

times in succession, but do it secretly,
so that your thread may appear TO the
audience like any ordinary thread. Sus-
pend to it as light q ring as you can get,
then set fire to the thread, which.will
burn from n end to the other, and the
spectators will be surprised to see the

to use hItumen was opposed by Columbus

property-owners. The matter went over
for two weeks to let the property-owners
hold meeting aud confer with one another
on the subject. The Trustees r. sc .nded the
proceedings for the opening OF Louisa
street at the request of Philip Hener and
other property owners. A strong appeal
was made to the board to take this action
by young daughter of Mr.. Hener, who
stated that the proposed opening would
greatly damage her fathers property. The
City Attorney was instructed to prepare a
