done all within their power tn fur
Their the grand work already COM
menced here, and that naught
else but the unfortunate condition
Of financial affairs in the east
caused them TO temporarily sus-
pend operations here. Indeed. MIR.
Simmons furnished $4,000 Of his
own money for the purpose Of cas-
ing up matters here when he found
it utterly impossible to dispose Of
company bonds last spring. Now
that the financial skies are bright
ening in the east, Mr.. Simmons feels
confident that the bonds of the
company can be readily placed and
the sum of 100000 raised for the
prosecution and completion of the
Longtom reservoir, which, when
completed will compose a basin of
water 30 miles in circumference,
and which. independent Of the big
Rattlesnake canyon reservoir, will
hold sufficient of the snowy fluid
to iFrigate thousands of acres of
land.

determination than ever to push to
completion the Longtom reservoir
at the earliest date possible, and in
this determination they have the

ing to close. He says it is, in
truth, all that it purports TO be, for
the whole world has contributed its
best in science, art an manufac-
lures, and it deserves all that has
been said in it's praise. Mr.. Axe

WATER DEPTHS.
Ingenious Methods by Which They MAJ
BE Ascertaned From Distance.

Ingenious Methods by Which They May
BE Ascertained From a Distance.
Mr.. Frederick j. Smith, of Trinity
college, Oxford, explains curious way
of finding the depth of piece of wate-
at distance.
About two years ago l wished to
know from time to time the rate at
which tn river was rising after fall
of rain The river was considerable
distance from the spot where its height
was to be known. By means of the
combination of two organ pipes and a
telephone circuit, described in the fol
lowing lines, have been able to make
the required measurement within
rather close limits At the river station
an organ pipe was fixed vertically in an
inverted position, so that the water in
the river acted as a stopper to the pipe,
and the rise or fall of the water deter
mined the note it gave when blown by
small bellows driven by small
water wheel.
A microphone was attached to the
upper end of the organ pipe; this was
in circuit with n wire leading to a town
station at some distance; at the town
station there was an exactly similar
organ pipe, which could be lowered
into vessel filed with water while it
was sounding. BY means of the tele-
phone the note given by the pipe at the
river was clearly at the town station;
then the organ pipe at this station was
lowered or raised by hand until it gave
the same note. The lengths of the
organ pipes under water at the two
stations were then equal, so that the
height of the water in the distant river
was known.
The determination can be made in
less than minute by any one who can
recognize the agreement of two similar
notes. The arrangement when first
tested was so placed that the height of
the water at two places near together
might be easily compared. ! found
that lad with an average ear for
musical sounds was able to get the two
heights to agree within an eighth of an
inch of each other, while person with
an educated ear adjusted the instru-
ment Immediately to almost exact
agreement The total height to be
measured was seventeen inches A
difference of temperature at the two
stations would make a small difference
in the observed heights. For instance,
take note caused by $50 vibrations
per second, a difference of 10 degrees c.
between the temperature Of the two
stations Zone not likely to occur) would
make difference of about OO2 feet in
the height, a quantity of no moment in
such class of measurements. The
organ pipes were of square section and
made Of metal to resist the action OF
the water. Mature.

YOSEMITE VALLEY IN WINTER.
1t Presents Picture of Scenic Grandeur

II Presents a Picture of Scenic Grandeur.
Snow-storm follows snow-storm.
Winter has spread his icy mantle over
the Yosemite. The mighty cliffs and
domes look down upon the valley as in
the summer months, but it is with for
bidding stateliness and with threaten
ing aspect. How changed the scene
and different the attractions! The
smiling vale is no longer gay with gor-
geous bowers and bright with green
meadowlands; no longer is it resonant
with the hum of busy insects, the mur-
muring lullabies of slumbering streams
and the joyous songs of summer birds;
zephyr no longer whispers to the pine
fronds as he floats softly through the
forest; and echo no longer repeats the
exclamations of glad visitors. The
Merced rolls its swollen current impet-
uously through the valley, tiooding
many an acre of the meadowland-for
rain as well as snow has fallen; the
woods are hoarse with protesting
against the ferceness of the storm
blasts; :he snow-slide holds the beholdea
in awe as it races with the waterfall IN
its downward plunge, and slabs of talu,
and unshapely chunks of rock loosen
their hold of their parent cliff as water
and weather do their work and are
washed with din and headlong speed
down into the valley. 1t is true that
such terrifying storms do not occur
with frequency, but one such was wit
messed by Mr.. Hutchings and his family
during the winter of 1867 when they
were the only residents in the valley
On that exceptional occasion the rain
poured down necessarily for ten sue
cessive days; all the meadowland was
covered with a surging flood; large
trees were swept over the ridge of the
Upper Yosemite and shivered into frag.

ROSE PERFUMES.

How They are Distilled In Far-OR India.
We stopped before hahn to look at
a distillery and rose field, and were
welcomed by the proprietor, who was
also landlord of the inn Seats were
put for us behind the brazer where it
was not little warm, and soon minia-
ture cups of coffee were presented to
us by his rosy-cheeked wife
In front of long shed six large cal
drons stood over the brazier, and into
these vessels about hundred pounds
worth of roses were put with warm
water. The iron tubes through which
the vapor escapes passed through long
tin receptacle shaped like trough,
which was filled with cold water, and
below which large glass bottles stood
to receive the first distillation. Three
Installations are necessary before the
oil of the rose appears.
We were shown small bottle into
which the essence just distilled had
been poured. The color is rich deep
gold, and the smell is strong, subtle,
and penetrating, pleasant for the first
instant, but soon producing a sense of
giddiness and oppression in the head.
1t affects everything near it, and the
perfume clings tenaciously even in the
open air.
The proprietors are secured from be-
ing cheated, as the peasants cannot en-
dure the perfume they themselves man

EARNEST ScoTCHMEN.

They Eat sufficient Food for the Sake
of Gaining an Education.
The privations which human beings
will endure for the purpose of pursuing
some beloved occupation are often eX-
traordinary. A Scotch writer gives a
list of instances which tend to prove
that his countrymen are willing to suf-
fer great extremity for learning. He
mentions one young man, who, though
of fine manners and aristocratic appear
ance, dined but three times week,
and then upon hot two-penny pie.
On off days he stated his hunger with
dry bread.
Another had curious method OF
studying. He spread out his books
where the hearth rug would naturally
have been, and lay thereupon, learning
his task by the light of fire made
from roots of decayed trees which he
had dug in wood near Edinburgh,
| and carried to his lodgings.
Three prominent and successful
Scotchmen of the present day have be-
hind them hard experience, which,
no doubt, they recall with pleasure.
| They lived together for at least wear
in Aberdeen University in room which
| contained but one bed 1t was not a
very large bed, and could not be per-
| suaded to hold three persons at once;
so two worked while the other slept,
and when he arose they went to bed.
| At Edinburgh were two interesting
I students whose ways were for time a
riddle. The one glided along the corri-
doris to his seat, holding his class book
| straight out before him. After a time
! it was learned that he had been a hotel
waiter; this vocation he pursued during
| the summer months, and returned to
! his studies in winter He was never
quite able to forget his calling. and
when he was suddenly aroused from
his reverie, would cry: Coming, sir;
coming"
/ The other mysterious student was
! never seen outside the class room except
, at full ga!lop. He ran into his seat for
a recitation, and after it was over
| dashed away like a racehorse. 1t finally
( transpired that he kept a small station.
1 cry shop at some distance from the uni.
versity, and being too poor to hire an

place of business in order to recite his
