CONCERNING INVENTORS.
Little Ideas That Have Made Their Oripi-
nators Rich.

Little Ideas That Have Made Their Oripi-
nators Rich.
while the path of the inventor is
generally Strewn with rocks instead of
roses," said well-llnown patent law
yer to New York Advertiser reporter.
sometimes he strikes an idea that, in
sporty languages, lands him on EaSv
street for the present, and eventually
locates him on Plush avenue. And the
strange thing about these ideas is that
they are always so painfully simple
that every other man when he hears of
them kicks himself for not utilizing the
s;sme idea when it occurred vaguely to
his own mind several years before.
Cone instance of this fact is the in
vcntion of the sand blast.
The inventor, while on a visit to the
seaShore, noticed that the glass in those
windows which frontcd the beach of
the place at which lie was stopping was
dulled IN some peculiar way. He made
inquiry and found that this was caused
by the clouds of sand which the winter
storms drove against the exposed panes.
The sand blast resulted from this
little bit of trivial information, and the
man who utilized it is at present sport
ing purple and fine linen and possesses
numerous ducatS.
"a second example is that of the'ru-
raj gentleman who found his watch
key plugged with dust one afternoon.
After scraping it out he sat down to
think of some way to stop future an
noyancc3 i'll that line. By way of cx-
parimcnt he bored a hole in the key
near its end and found that he could
cieah it ut once by simply blowing
through this orifiac.
He patented the idea, and realized a
big sum of money on it,. But ideas
Ike these don't occur every afternoon. {"

The Picturesque Scout Disappears Very
Mysteriously.
Capt. Dick Falkenberg will be remem-
bered as picturesque looking man of
powerful physique and long curling
hair, who was frequently among the
Spring-street promenaders of an after
noon. He came here on some mining
ventures, and backed by New York
capitalist named Thompson, purchased
several prospects near San Jacinto, and
has been engaged in developing them.
His New York friend supplied plenty of
funds and the work of developing the
Gold Prince mine, as his property was
called, went or apace.
But recently the captain has disap-
peared, and it is said that this is in con-
sequence of the appearance of Mrs.
Captain Dick in Southern California.
The lady, it Heems, has commenced
divorce proceedings in San Diego, and

best to keep in strict retirement.

THE cHrNAMAN DIED.

He Was visiting an Alameda House Of
Ill-Fame.
Chinatown was thrown into fever of
excitement last evening about 8 o'clock.
One Of their countrymen, evidently af-
ficted with heart disease, had died
suddenly in house of ill-fame. kept by
two French women on the south side of
Ferguson alley, near Alameda street, and
in the very center of Chinatown.
A Chinaman, aged about 40 years,
went into the little brick building and
into the back room of Sarah Leda. He
had partly disrobed when he suddenly
fell back dead upon the floor. The af-
fair was reported to the central police
station. A few moments after the
strange death Ferguson alley from Los
Angeles street to tue plaza was packed
with excited Cinnamon eager to know
the cause of the strange death.
The Chinaman was evidently a
stranger. no one being able to identify
him. The corpse was taken TO the
morgue. and Sarah Leds, the woman
whom the Chinaman visited, waz locked
up in the central police station.

ARIZONA IRRIGATION.

Some Large Works Which Are Under
Way.
The irrigation enterprises in Arizona
are attracting considerable attention
now, and of such the Arid Region has
the following to say: Two surveyors
and 16 men have gone to the Pot Holes
and Castle Dome TO begin the work of
running the lines for the projected
canal OF the Colorado Canal company.
This system Of canals will cost SIC, ,OO0.-
600 and the main ditch will be 15O miles
long, 112 feet wide on the bottom and
will carry IL feet of water. For the dis
tance given this canal will be broader
and deeper than any 15O miles of the
great Erie canal in New York. This
will give eastern people some compre-
hension of the magnitude of this i'm
mense irrigation project.
The engineers surveying the line of
the Colorado canal are working in the
region travsrsed by the ancient canal
system of prehistoric times, of which
there are more than 300 miles of the
larger canals and more than 5000 miles
of the smaller ones, all of which can be
nsed in the Colorado, covering an area
of 5000, ,0O0 acres of the finest land on
the Pacific coast. Bv using the larger
