Melbourne Testing His Invention at Cam
ton, o., and Gets Enough Moisture to
Win Bets.
Tuesday was the day on which Mel
bourne promised rain. There has been
no rainfall so far, but the indications
are there will before morning. There
was quite a heavy rain Monday even.
ing. Melbourne said: II commenced
operating the apparatus for
Tuesdays rain Sunday morn.
ing. The atmospheric condi.
tions were most favorable, and it came
about six hours before expected, and
was undoubtedly brought by my inven-
ton. l commenced operating Tuesday
morning, and hope so succeed before
midnight. 1t will surely be here early
Wednesday. From past experience l
can predict closer in the future" Next
date for rain is set for July II. A propo-
sition has been made Melbourne by a
Kansas party, and he may accept and
go there in July. He was in his labor
atory Tuesday evening operating his
apparatus, and says the coming rainfall
will be very heavy. At half-past o it
commenced to sprinkle slowly, with in.
dications that it will grow into good
sized rain. 1t is already sufficient to win
wagers for Melbourne and his hackers.

DEATH VALLEY

Becomes Iashing Lake--Water Fills the
brent Basin of Colorado's Desert but
from what Source No Man Can Tell.
There is no Improvement of affairs in
Salton. The water in the lake is rising.
Owing TO the almost unbearable heat II
is impossible to get any white man TO
enter the desert at this time of the
year. The Indian runner sent by the
railroad people has not yet returned,
and the boat sent out from Salton has
only been able to get out short dis
tance. A telegram received at
the railroad office in Los
Angeles Cal, says: "a strong
wind Tuesday night from the
southeast raised the water on the north
shore. The west water line is moving
westward slowly. l can not reach tho
end of the track, and fear the track
will go with the next strong wind.
The waters are surely but slowly ris.
ing The saturation is 16 per cent.
fresher than Tuesday. That the water
comes from the Colorado river, which
it leaves Mt n point near Pilot Knob,
there is but little doubt. In answer
to dispatch of inquiry Wednes-
day, Superintendent Muir, of the South
ern Pacific, received the following from
II. w. Blaisdell, superintendent of
mines at Ogilby, eighteen miles this
side of Yuma: "In "egard to the water
that is flowing into the desert from
Colorado river at a point some fifteen
or twenty miles below Pilot Knob ever
since the great overflow in February,
we have been wondering where it was
going to. | can not state that it is rum
ming Thursday, but it was week ago.
A special says the water around Salton is
now within 1000 feet of the main track.
1t came in 200 feet in two hours Wednes-
day. If it continues to come in as it
has been doing it will wash out tho
Southern Pacific track in three days.
The deepest water found was three feet
and the shallowest in the current four
teen inches. Superintendent Darbey,
of the salt works, is alarmed and wants
the railroad company to send men to
fix the break in New river. The break
is thirteen miles below Ell Rio, and is
about seventy miles from Salton The
Indians are badly scared, and all tho
desert Indians have fed to the hills,
and even those as high up as Banning
are leaving for the mountains. A week
ago medicine man came to Banning
reservation and told the Indians that
the Messiah said there would be a big
flood by July A; that all the whites
would be swept away, and only In
dians saved. He said that Indians
who worked up to July would
not have time to get away. All
the Indians are much excited, and
even the most intelligent of them are
going to Grayback mountain with their
families A special dispatch from Sal
ton at II o'clock Wednesday night said
the water was still rising, but not so
rapidly as in the afternoon. Old resi-
dents of Los Angeles say that, while
the water is higher than ever known
before, the desert lake is not n new
thing and the phenomenon has occurred
frequently, but, from the fact the des-
ert is uninha bited and no one ever ven
tured across it, it has not been noticed.

MILLIONS OF IMMIGRANTS
From Over the Sea to Become Americans
Since the Revolutionary War.

From Over the Sea to Become Americans
Since the Revolutionary War.
The immigration into the United
States from 1920 to 1890 is the subject
of a special report which has been pre-
pared by Maj. Brock, the chief of the
bureau of statistics of the treasury de-
partment, and will soon be published.
No official record was made of the in.
fux of foreign population to this coun-
try before 1920, but the immigration
from the close of the revolutionary war
to that time is estimated at 225, 900.
The arrivals of immigrants from 1891 to
1890 have reached Is, 641, 6Ss. The pro-
portion of arrivals from Europe has in
creased from $3.50 per cent. of the
whole immigration in the decade from
1891 to 1880 to 81 81 per cent. in the last
decade from 1881 to 1890. The follow
ing figures give the arrivals of each
nationality during the entire period
from 1920 to 1890:
Germany ....-..4,5 l,Gl9 Italy. y........... 4145l3
Ireland. .......3,5OI.6S3 France ....... $40 lG3

The classification of the character of
the immigration during the past decade
shows that only 26,2 257 of the 8,2O5, Oil
males arriving in that time were of the
professional classes, 514 552 were skilled
laborers, l, 1888, 1925 were of miscellane-
GUS occupations, 9,327 made no state
ment in regard to occupation and 759,-
