InCerson on California

In a recent magazine article Mr.. Ernest
Ingersoll, the noted writer, says:
The climate of Southern California in
winter closely resembles that of Egypt
It's equability is constant, and its dryness
is proverbial. The only complaint made is
that it is too nearly perfect. Residents
bred in the eastern states confess now and
then that rousing storm would give them
a grateful sensation. But this sentiment
meets wit b no favor from the man who has
just fed from superfuity of wetness and
seems perpetual paradise. and to the III
valid dreading the advance of disease, the
still, arid atmosphere is as the breath of
life"
The most comfortable way to reach the
Pacific coast is via Santa Fe Route.

There is some fun in crow, even if
it be love Of mischief. In Calcutta
had large garden surrounded by shady
trees in whose branches many crows
used to roost at night. Coming home
late and tired from the Office, used to
sit on my lawn, and big Persian cat
would come out to keep me company.
Then the cat and the crows used to have
a little game of their own. The cat
would stretch itself and flick its long,
furry tail about Some twenty OF thirty
crows promptly accepted the challenge,
quickly alighted round the cat and tried
To pull its tail. Some Of them hoped
up in front, as near as they could with
safety, Others stood at the side, and
several OF the best players took their
position behind the cat They evidently
acted in concert The crows in front
erept as close as they dared, to secure
the cats attention, and then one Of the
rear crows made dash at the tail,
which the cat carefully guarded by
flirting it from side to side. II was very
seldom that crow succc ded in getting
a mouthful Of fur. The cat, mean
while, had really an eye TO business,
and if one of tie birds in front OF him
came within practicable distance he
made a spring that often had fatal
result But in the courso Of twenty
four hours they seemed to have forgot
ten the mishap to their brother, and
came again 70 renew their diversion
with the cat, which WIS always ready
to play the game in which it might b.

The Ship of the Failure.

So far no great departure from the
existing form of ship, nor from the
method Of propulsion, has resulted in
obtaining higher speed than is com
mon with ordinary ships of the same
dimensions; and in nearly every case
such departures have mortified the in-
ventors as well as disappointed the pub
lie by turning out absolute failures; and
there is no good reason to suppose that
further successes than have already beea
attained will be achieved in any other
way than by improving the conditions
that now obtain, both as regards form
Of ship and method of propulsion, mas
much as the physical causes which COM
bine to retard the motion of a vessel,
an the physical forces which are en-
ployed in overcoming that resistance,
remain to-day as they ever were, and
are-in fact, natures immutable laws.
