Dividing California.

State division is no new thing in AIneri-
ca 1t is not exact to say that all the
lands formerly held in the west by the
old states formed an integral part of
these But the lands held, say by Con-
necticut and Virginia and Ohio, were so
after a fashion and were merged into
a great state Besides this, however
we have the formation of Kentucky out
of Virginia, Tennessee out of North
Carolina, Maine out of Massachusetts,
Mississippi and Alabama out of Geor-
gia, Vermont out of New York and
West Virginia out of Virginia. In none
of these cases were the conditions more
diverse than those of our two great di-
visions in California. There is no record
that any of these regret their new state
hood, nor is there an intlmation that
merge again into the old state.
The desire for local self government
in southern California arises from no
jealousies, no antagonisms to northern
California, and, least of all, 20 political
place hunting. 1t is the result Of econom-
ic and political necessities. We need
state government of our own. In fed
eral affairs we have our own separate
officers, courts, military department,
etc., just as Oregon has; we have our
own financial and industrial independ-
ence as much as Oregon has, and we have
a new population quite as distinct from.
that of no.4l,ar-l Ca1ifnr,lia is -nor -

Nearly all the grains now IN use are o.
unknown antiquity. Wheat was cult
yated IL all ATTITUDES as far back in the
past as we have authentic knowledge.
Barley Is thought 70 have originated IN
the Caucasus, but IL was known and
used everywhere in the most ancient
times. Oats, like rye, were unknown in
ancient India and Egypt and among the
Hebrews. The Greeks and Romans re-
ceived il from the north of Europe. Had
there been an early civilization on this
continent the wild oats found here and
there would probably have developed
into the useful cereal now consideredab
solutely essential TO the proper nourish-
ment Of horses. This continent is cred
tied with having given Indian corn 10
the old world, but this useful cereal was
doubtless known in India and China
many hundred years before the discov-
cry Of America.
Cotton was used for making garments
in India at a date so remote that 1t can
not even be guessed at. The fact is men
toned by Aristotle The first seeds were
brought to this country in 1921. In 1866
the culture Is mentioned in the records
of South Carolina. In 1886 the culture
was general along the eastern coast of
Maryland, and in 1916 we heard of it as
far north as Cape May. The use of fax
for making clothing is nearly as ancient
as that OF cotton and perhaps more So
plants of soft and flexible fiber having
been without doubt among the first veg
etable productions of the ancient world
and their practical value discovered soon
after the invention of weaving. -San

Two Specimens of this Bird OF
Board the WarYinrOo.

On board the steamship Warri,
moo are two large birds known as
the emu (Dromaius Novae-Hol.
landiae), a male and a female
They are in charge Of Mr.. Girdle,
stone, the ships butcher. The birds
greatly resemble the ostrich, both
in size and form, for which reason
they are sometimes. called the os.
trich Of Australia. The main diff
ference between the two species is
that the former have plumes, while
the latter have long slender feathers
covering the entire body from neck
to feet. The head, eyes, legs, shape
and habits are almost exactly the
same as those of the African bird.
The emu also buries its eggs in the
sand. The eggs are highly priced
as drawing-room ornaments, being
of beautiful emerald green color,
while those of the ostrich are white.
Like the ostrich, the emu's wings
are small and it depends almost
entirely on its fieetness to escape
from its pursuers. The legs are
large and powerful, and when the
bird is brought to bay, prove a for
midable weapon of defense, kick
from them very much resembling
that Of the American bird called
the mule. The two specimens on
the Warrimoo are very tame and
can be handled with impunity.
These birds were sent by the
geological gardens Of Sydney for
the geological gardens of Vancou
yer, B. c., and are splendid speci-
mems of their kind, Mr.. Girdlestone
believing them to be 'real beau
ties" The birds stand about four
feet high, but their heads will
reach as high as seven feet when
fully extended.
A pair of Wallobies, species of
kangeroos, is on board the steamer ;
also three splendid black game
fowls, for which he paid a very
nigh price in Sydney. The rooster
is ebony black in color, and is a
most beautiful bird. One of the
hens laid an egg yesterday, which
the owner stated he would get 60
cents for at Vancouver.
Mr.. Girdlestone said that the
young American eagles which went
down on the last trip Of the Warri-
moo are doing we'll at the zoologi-
cal gardens at Sydney, and are OBJ
jects of admiration to visitors of
the gardens.

LIFTED 1000 POUNDS.
Kennedy Performs a Remarkable
Feat of Strength at Madison
Square Garden.

Kennedy, the strong man, was
the chief attraction st the farewell
performance of the English mill
tary tournament at Madison square
garden last night, and be fully
proved his right to the title of
champion by lifting three life guard
horses with their riders fully ac-
coutred, their combined weight
being nearly four thousand pounds.
The guardsmen were placed upon
a platform, under which Kennedy
knelt. When all was ready he
gave one immense heave, and
those who were in the arena said
the platform was raised fully an
inch from the ground. Even to
those n the seats the swaying of
the horsemen made it apparent
that the platform was free on the
ground.
Kennedy also clasped his hands
and allowed sixteen men-eight on
each side-to try to pull them
apart They could not. Then he
lifted sixteen men on a platform
by means of peculiarly construct
ed harness.
A large audience was present,
and the receipts were about $500,
which will be divided among the
non-commmissioned officers, band
men and privates of the brigade,
for whose benefit the performance
was given. Fifty of the men will
sail for Europe tomorrow. All the
horses used in the tournament have
been sold to Mr.. William Eaton, of
Tattersalls'.- Y. Herald.
