cry lew oi lls who have seen the plumes Of waying pampas sold in the streets know where they are obtained.
 In our own country they are grown most extensively in southern Cali. fornia, where they form en important source Of industry. though the pam- pas was originally a native of the plains of South America.
 It is mainly used for decorative pir- poses nov, but it is thought that some day. fit becomes cheaper, it will be used for making fine grades of paper. as 1t has great durability.
 There are . number of varieties ol the Dampas grass, but the orange and lemon colored pIumes are the two kinds most valued. These. growing beneath the trees of the orange and lemon, show a most beautiful effect Of color.
 When the industry was Icing de- velopcd great caution was displayed and m air of mystery surrounded t An attempt was made to keep the new enterprise in the hands of few. who would realize enormous profits. but In the course of time the question was discussed in the newspapers, and the monopoIists had 10 give in to thu many, who were not slow in setting out extensive plantations.
 The plant has thin bayonet-shaped leaves, often not an inch in width. and in length from ten to twenty feet. They grow upward and then curve over until their sharp-pointcd ti rests on the ground or on the leaves below. The plant in itself is yery ornamental and varieties Of it arc oe- casicnlly seen in gardens in the east.
 When growers wish to set d new plantation they take the full-1rown plants from the ground and divide the roots after cutting oiT the tops. They plant the roots in rows from thu to sixteen feet apart. The plant is hardy and quite easily grown. Some times they are made to occupy the whole plantation. and sometimes set in between rows of walnut or orange | trees. When they grow too large either the trees or the panpaS grass has to be removed. It. is generally the grass, but sometimes tree will have to go to make way for particu- larly fine pampas plant.
 The right time tG plant them is in January, and they grow so rapidly that ia seven months they will show a few plumes. From May to August they need much irrigation and careful cultivation. and in August the plants@ send out long spikes. which are the plumes in embryo. It Is time to cut them as soon as a small bit of white begins to show on the tip. They are counted as they are cut. ard sirewn iii tire ground in piles of twenty. The cutters are paid by the thousand, and experts are sometimes able te cut seven thousand in day. Each hun dred cut by the iaboregs is registered for them on a card by the overseer.
 The men who work on the planta- tions are mostly Mexicans, and though these sons of southland have the name of sossessing aa indolent and rather careless nature, they show most skill tnd care in their work, The visitor Is always charmed with tbeir cougtesy tnd pleasing manner,

THE MARBLEHEAD.
Is Already for Her Trial When Weather
Conditions Become Favorable.

Special to The News.
NEW LONDON, Dec. 6.-The speed trial
of the Marblehead will probably take
place Thursday, though it may be post
poned until Friday, or until the weather
conditions become favorable.
The Marblebead is in admirable trim to
undertake the test at any time. She is
much cleaner than most vessels under sim
liar circumstances. Her hull has fresh
coat of paint, her decks have been well
scrubbed, the brightwork has been highly
polished, and she looks generally as spick
and span as possible under the conditions.
Yesterday the government trial board,
headed by Admiral Beiknap, went on
board and made a thorough general
inspection of the ship to ascertain
IL the specifications had been CON-
piled with in regard to such
items OF the equipment as the con-
tractors were required to install. Under
this head are included the general fittings
of hull and machinery, dynamos, indica-
tory telegraphs, automatic water and fire
alarms and the like.
The result of the inspection was salts
factory, but few details remaining un-
finished. The vessel is said to be in excel
lent general condition, as far as compliance
with designs is concerned.
The Marblehead is one OF the vessels
against which accusations of lack of sta
bility have recently been cast. This charge,
be it remembered, involves no discredit
on the builders, who have faithfully
carried out the instructions of the navy
department, which made the design.
Her metacentric height, upon which the
stability depends, was formerly but
thirteen inches, which was not
deemed sufficient, and IL has
accordingly been decided to make some
important changes in the disposition of
weights TO effect an increase in metacen-
trio height by lowering the centre Of
gravity.
With this end in view, the coming
tower and the ice machine will be removed
entirely, about thirty tons OF cement will
be placed in her bottom and lighter bat
terry will be placed on board than was
originally intended.
The Marblehead will, accordingly, carry
ten 4-inch rapid fire guns in her main bat
terry, in lieu OF the eight 5-inch aud two
6-inch at first contemplated The Sec
ondary battery will remain the same.
These changes, it is calculated, will in
crease the metacentric height to not less
than twenty-one inches.
The Marblehead is now, and will be
during her trial, under Command of Cap
tain Bibber, Chief Engineer Peck having |
charge Of the engineers force.
The tug Fortune, Lieutenant Il. E. Cape
hart, is ~, commanding, arrived yes
terday from Portsmouth, n. H., complet- |
