Finally, with peculiar cry. the eagle
swooped down toward the car and caught
the red handkerchief in his beak. lie held
on, too, and in the scarce stirriDg air he be-
gan to drag the little balloon slowly away
with him. This did not suit the professor.
Picking up stick that lay in the bottom
of the car he dealt the bird heavy blow
across the beak. With cry the bird flew
away, and then plunged at tho car and got
between the ropes. AS the eagle swooped
toward Cleveland he pulled the escape
valve. and, grasping stick, crouched

Quently the professor struck him savagely
With the hickory stick, and so often would
the bird renew his attacks. Finally Cleve-
land noticed that the attacks we're less
furious. He jumped to his feet and dealt
the bird blow on the head. With fiut-
tering of the wings the bird flew from the
car, and the half-fainting aeronaut saw him
falling rapidly, as though dead. The man
threw out his anchor. which caught IN

meadow of the beautiful Hope Valley in
the town of Hebron. When Cleveland re-
gained his strength he walked along, and
near the banks of the Salmon River he
found the dead bird. 1t measured trif1e

The Romantic Manner in Which 1t Re-
ceiVed Its Name.
Captain Z. +. Dickins Of the Coast survey,
who is spending few days in the city this
week, after a three months siege Of topo-
graphical triangulations in the northern
part Of the State, states that the work Of the
summer has been fairly successful.
Six heliotropers are at present located in
camps on Snow Mountain, Cousa County;
Mount ST. Helena, on the boundary between
Napa and Lake counties; Ross Mountain,
Sonema County, and Mount Sanhedrim, in
MendocinO. During the summer parties
have been on Mount Diablo Mount Tamal-
pals and other high peaks. The main camp
is on Sanhedrim. about forty miles north of
Ukiah, but will soon be removed TO Cold
Spring Peak.
The name "Sanhedrm' is said to have
been given the mountain by an early piO-
neeT in a somewhat romantic manner. He
took up claim on the mountain and built
himself rude cabin, but soon found it very
lonesome. On the Round Valley Reserva-
ton not lar away lived a rather cGmely
squaw. and lie conceived the idea of secur-
ing her for his wife. but the Indians raised
a tremendous p0W-WUw, and sought the
cabin many strong to reclaim her. AT first
the squatter parleyed with them, but find
ing that his dusky companion preferred his
company to theirs he exclaimed dramati-
eally to the chief of the native sons: "YOu
say you are Chief OF a great people, and
that you must protect them. Ali right, go
ahead and protect them. But / am the pro-
tector Of this girl she wants to stay here. /
am the head court of this district; / am the
Sanhedrim of this mountain, and by heaven,
she stays with me!'
The Chief and his followers retired, but
the squaw ami the Sanhedrim remained.

The position of the San Francisco Chroni-
Gle in this matter is disgusting and disgrace
full. Its awkward turnings and twistings
and petty fault-fndings show the weakness
of its cause and emphasize the urgent ne

break its faith with the people and become
the advocate OF mountebaDks and thieves.
The sensitive skins of some very near and
dear friends of the Chronicle are in danger.

Tests of Varieties of Wheat.

The annual report of the Pennsylvania.
State college agricultural experiment sta
ton contains the following summary of
the results of its tests of varieties of wheat
during the season of 1889:
Judging from this and previous sea
sons experience and from general char
acteristics as well as yield, the following
varieties may be ranked in this locality,
on a retentive ime-magnesia clay soil
with compact subsoil, in the following
order: Dietz's Longberry Red, followed
by the Fulcaster, Fultz or German EN-
peror; these by McGhee's White and
Raub's Black Prolific, then Sibley's New
Golden, and lastly the Extra Early Oak
ley variety. Currell's Prolific, Improved
Rice and the Mealy were only grown this
season. They did well, except in the
yield of the Improved Rice. They are
not ranked with the others because of
the lack of sufficient data to place them
with the older and more thoroughly test
ID varieties in this locality and under
,ur conditions of soil and climate.

FARM AND GARDEN.
OBSERVATIONS WORTHY OF NOTE
IN RURAL AFFAIRS.

The Improvement of Country Home
Grounds-How the Advantages of Shade
and Seclusion May Be Secured bv a
Judicious Use of Trees and Lawn.
Owners and occupants of farms can
improve and plant the home grounds
and scarcely trench on their home
acres for farming. They need not fall
into the mistake which some make in
their endeavor to save every square rod
of ground by placing the dwelling
nearly on a line with the boundary of
the public highway and converting the
highway into barnyard.
All the advantages of shade and seclu-
sion, says Country Gentleman, may be
secured by judicious use of trees and
lawn, with near proximity to the public
road, by an arrangement like that repre-
sented IN Fig. l. The dwelling is placed
quite near to the road, but planted with
shade trees enough to give seclusion.
The carriage entrance is on one side.
while shorter footwa1k on the other
side gives ready access and exit. In the
rear of the dwelling the more formal and
regular planting may be orchard trees,
with the more symmetrical growers
along the carriage way to harmonic

the two kinds of paintings. These may
be the more regular forms of pear and
cherry trees, and the orchard is laid out
in the more ornamental hexagonal plant
ing. The barn is farther. in the rear,
but easily reached from road and dwell
ing, or separate farm road may be
placed farther to the left.
In Fig. another similar plan is rep
resented, but with more ornament than
finish, and with more ready access from
buildings to road. 1t needs but little adj
dltlonal explanation other than that the
broad beds may be planted with few
handsome shade trees, or with larger
number of smaller trees and large shrubs;
or the planting may be exclusively Of
shrubs of various sizes They sufficient
ly exclude the view from the dwelling to
the public road, while the openings be-
tween give a sufficient view and afford a
short entrance when desirable. 1t will
be observed that neither of these plans
occupy any considerable portion of the
farm lands, while they give a good op-
portunity for landscape adornment, and
shut out the dust from passing vehicles.
