OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 per Acre.

The Pacific improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres Of
Land in the neart of Tehama County, for the
purpose OF promoting subdivision and settle
ment This land embraces lands from first
class sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land OF fair average quality, and is offered at
from $40 to $40 per acre, In subdivisions OF
40, so, 12O, 160 and $40 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment Of
principal by paying the first of fl I'VE equal an
nual installments. Thus no part Of the prin
cipal is to be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser 10 to have five years in which to
pay five equal annual installments, with in
terest at the rate of per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over a period OF
eight years. Intending purchasers are
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at $40 per acre,
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre,
with other grades Of land at prices TO CORE
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming and es-
pecially adapted for fruitgrowing cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 TO
500 an acre. An examination Of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase OF good agricultural land at $40
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at $40 an acre, on terms OF
payment which should make the disposition
Of these lands to actual settlers @ result easy OF
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase of this
body OF land was the breaking up OF large
holding for the purpose OF promoting its set
tement in smaller quantities and its devotion
TO diligent husbandry.

arrested by Greensweig, and after being
confined in the County Jail quite a while
was acquitted by sympathetic Jury.

roots we're torn from the ground. In all
previous experiments the explosives used
in the ground bitteries were rackarock
and dynamite. Much was expected from
the roselite, that being more powerful
explosive, as it doubtless IS for reuding
or disintegrating purposes, such US use
in mines, ETC., but it was the opinion OF
General Dyrenforth and the other experts
that for the purposes OF rainmaking 1t
was not as good as the other mixtures.
1t did not seem to make the same con.
cussion, nor was its noise as great. But
all experience shows that ground batter
les and explosions are Of little value. II
rain is to be made at all by explosives it
must be by balloon work In the clouds.
Whatever result was obtained from any
OF these experiments was manifestly the
result OF balloon explosions. Not only
ware they moro powerful, the noise
greater and the conclusion more terrific,

but they seemed TO reach tho very center
OF moisture in the heavens.
General Ruggles's plan ofJsending ex-
plvsions aloft by mea ms OF balloons was
not used In any of these or precc ding
experiments. A sir,pler and more effcc-
tive plan was adopted. From the very
first General Dyrenforth took no stock
in sending explosives aloft to be fred
from balloons. The very plan was for
bidding and too dangerous to bo
thought Of. BY the aid and inventive
genius Of DIR. Resell method was dis
covered Of initiating thc.balloons with cx-
plosivc material, sending them up to
work out their own sweet will, and at .
proper moment explode either by means
of an electric battery or time fuse. The
first experiments were with electric
wires, but these were cumbersome and
costly, aud therefore in the San Antonio
experiments the time fuse alone was
used. The explosive to fli the bal
looms is combination of hydrogen aud
oxygen in the proportion Of two Of the
former and one OF the latter. This mix
turc of gases explodcs with the slightest
spark, and when ii goes it goes for all
it is worth. The explosion OF twelve
foot balloon at height Of 1000
feet is pretty sight. The flash is
10000 times the power Of an arc
light aud IL shoots out points
and outings very much like the sun dur.
ing total eclipse. And then the awful
stiffness which prevails between the
brilliant flash aud the frightful coucus-
sion which one awaits on tip-toe, is
almost awe-inspiring. When the crash
comes it is terrible. Ifthc explosion has
taken place near or under n cloud there
is an echo, and another ocho, and SEEM
ingly wave of echoes reach the earth in
proportion 10 the number OF clouds, but,
after all the clouds don't seem to mind

IRON natural causes, was not fully de-
tcrmincd. General Dyrenforth believes
that he produced the rain. Bisinterestcd
people who observed the experiments and
noted the atmospheric conditions, before
and after, were inclined to believe that
the detonations and conclusions OF Gen.
cral Dyrenfoith's batteries had very lit.
tic to do with it. But certain il is that
no experiment directly produced rain in
sufficient quantities to be of any practi-
cal value in proving the correctness of
the science. Granting that the rain was
the result OF the explosion the limited
quantity which fell was entirely too ex-
pensive luxury for common people to
indulge in, nor did il come in sufficient
volume to be of any benefit to the region
in which IL fell.

seasons which prevailed throughout
France during the Franco Prussian
war. Mr.. Powers, however, presented the
matter in such distinctive and concrete
form that it attracted general attention.
Mr.. Powers wanted the Government to 90
into the business of rainmaking on lines
equivalent to fighting great battle; ne
wanted to resort to leavy cannonading
with the usual implements of war, aud
he estimated that the cost OF two cxper.
iments exclusive of the cost OF the guns,
which were to be loaned for the pur-
pose by the Government, would be

expensive to be thought OF, and the
scheme in itself attracted no attention.
Nine years later General Daniel Ruggles,
Of Virginia, invented balloon which
when filed with gases, could be sent
into midair carrying aloft explosives to
be let go at whatever distance desirable
by means OF electricity. 1t was this in.

Beeswax.

DeeSWuAs
The manufacture of bceswax IL In
itself an Important industry In this
country. Formerly IL wa, prepared
In crude way by simply pressing the
honey out of the comb. The best Of
it is made from the cappings with
which the bees cover up the coils after
they are filled with honey. IL is now
commonly refined for market by
new process of American invention,
suns rays being employed to assist
the operation. The crude wax is put
into a shallow metal tank covered with
glass, alongside of which is mirror
so placed as to reflect tho rays of the
sun into tho tank. This produces
very high temperature inside of the
tank, the bottom of which Is an in-
clined piano. The wax a, it melts

wire gouze into "A receptacle.
After cooltug, 1t is ready for mar
ket. Beeswax is utilized for great
variety Of purposes-among others,
for artificial flowers, phonograph
cylinders, ,ointmeuts, pomades, leather-
dressings, and the beautifying Of
floors. IL Ia used for embaming the
dead, and by dentists for taking
moulds of peoples jaws. In India II
ia employed for dyeing cloths, those
portions of the fabric which are not
Intended to take the color being COW
cred with thin layer Of wax. Que
of the most important uses for bees
wax Is in the manufacture of candles.
Roman Catholic priests arc not per-
mitted by the regulations of the
church to employ candles made Of any
other material than wax produced by
bees. In the Greek Church everyone
who attends divine services must bring
u candle of wax. The people provide
themselves for this purpose with little
tapers.
In countries about the eastern part
of the Mediterranean these tapcrs are
current like coins, being medium of
exchange In small way. The chari-
table give them to beggars instead of
coppcrs. Mcndicants 20 from door to

candles, and sell them to the churches.
In Europe much wine aud vinegar are
made from honey, aud in France cakes

sumed in vast quantities. Honey is
chiefly utilized for medicinal purposes
in China. There, as well rs in India,
the larvg of bees arc considered del
icacy, aud the brood-combs containing
young grubs are much relishcd. -
