Santa CruZ's Interesting
Literary History.
A CIRCLE OF INTELLECT.
The Author of Woman and Her
Era Mrs. Kirby Charles q.
Ames-OtE1er Writer'S.
Written for THE MORNING CALL.

Santa Cruz was in early days the home
OF several of the most brilliant minds Cali
Iornia has ever possessed. This charmed
circle" of wit and intellect included Mrs.
Eliza w. Farnham, authoress and phllan-
thropist; Georgiana b. Kirby, whose spicy
articles have appeared in the leading maga-
zines Of the East and West; Miss Anne
Wells, the artist; Charles g. Ames. the
now celebrated Unitarian divine; Paul
Pioda. a man of strong intellect and ster-
ling character; Marie Valhasky, Mrs. DIR.
Pagan. and III later days, Howard Glyn-
don (Mrs. Laura c. Searing). who has been
classed by the Century magazine among
the ten leading poets of America. Driven
by the vicissitudes of fortune TO this far
away spot, their association afforded OBJ
pOrtunltieS for study and intellectual in
tercourse found nowhere else in the wild
West.
Mrs. Farnham's reputation was made by
her work entitled woman and Her Era
which she wrote IN Santa Cruz. Her other
literary productions, though widely read,
attracted no marked attention. while this
work is familiar to all scientific inquirers.

OF forts which for some years pas have been
under construction in the vicinity OF Medway
are Intended for the defense OF the dockyard
and naval arsenal and the military Gepots at
Chatham and also of the approaches 10 London.
Inc expenditure has already reached 4 total OF
many thousands of pounds. and IL is estimated
that a further outlay of between 100000 and
Sloo,OoO Will be necessary before the works
are complete.

been large increase in the amount OF orig

works in connection with the eastern Gefenses
would cost $3.50, 900. but owing 10 the subStt-
tuition OF civil for convict labor that sum has
been raised to S50o,ooO. The original es-

Will be something out of the usual line. North
or that place some thirty miles. on the Belle
Fourche River, is located an obelisk created by
other than human hands. which is known to
those who know OF IL all by the name of the

Asyet no human being has ever looked down
upon the world from the top of this giant obe-

being fiuted. the flutes having been created, as

How Hot Does a Boiler Get ?
st. Louis Globe D Democrat.


How hot is the bottom of a boiler directly
exposed To flames aud heated gases from the
lire below? Some light Is thrown this I'M.
poriant question by a number of experiments Is
made by A. j. Dursl on, chief engineer of the
British navy. For this purpose a circular metal
disc, 10 inches in diameter, 3 inches deep and
quarter of a inch thick had attached 10 the
outside of It's bottom eight pieces of fusible
solder OF different compostious, the melting
points ranging from 220 deg. to $50 deg.
Fahrenheit. The vessel was half-filed with
water and placed over a Bunsen gas flame,
the temperature OF which was about
1900 deg, and allowed to remain there un-
I'll the water had been boiling freely tor
some time. Ii was then found that the alloys
whose fusipg points ran mp to 240 deg. melted,
but The next, which would fuse at only ;S43 deg,
was only slightly softened. The Temperature
OF that side of the plaie was, therefore. as
sumed to be about 240 deg. A layer of grease
obtained from the interior of the boilers OF a
ship was next spread about one thirty cond OF
an III thick over the INSIDE of The bottom OF the
vessel and the previous experiments repeated.
1he temperature OF the outer surface oil the
plate was found TO be about $40 deg. on
rise OF 80 degrees, due to the film of grease.
Ihis increase In temperature was not as large
as expected, but the figures were verified by
repeated tests. The result shows the iInpor-
tance OF separating grease and oil from the
water led to boiler as far as possible.

ARTIFICIAL DIAMONDS.
They Are Small and Possess Little
Intrinsic Value.
st. Louis Globe-Democrat.


statement concerning the manufacture OF
diamonds by FreDchman named Henri Mos
sau has recently appeared in the technical
press, which requires a little comment. In
the first place the diamonds produced are ex-
tremely minute and of no value as gems, and
IN The second place the process by which they
are produced was first developed by an
English physicist, Charles S. Parsons. who
described ii fully in that storehouse of gen
eralS useless information, the Transactions
OF the Royal Society OF England. Any one in
terested IN the subject will find the original
paper IN the issue OF june 1883. The expert
ments were made by condensing carbon by
combined heat, pressure and chemical action
IL was found that when a combination OF car
Don, lime and silica was used fine gray crust
was formed On the carbon, which contained
minute CRYSTALS. some black some Transparent,
which possessed all the characteristics Of dia-

about, his great tail came down, catching
one. breaking it into pieces, in some uuac-
countable way sending fragment into the
side OF one Indian and breaking the arm
of another. Bnt it was evident that the
battle was nearly done, for the water was
literally inceTnadined with the life flow of
the whale, and as spear after spear found
its way into his sides and back his efforts
TO escape ceased altogether. Finally, with
a last attempt 10 wreak further vengeance
on his pursuers, the big fish lay dead on
the water.
When the whole was found to be dead
the five canoes circled, each one three
times, about the inert mass of biubber and
bone the occupants chanting a sort of
song to which time was kept by their dip
ping paddles.
In the excitement of the pursuit and the
battle no attention had been paid to the
flight OF time nor the direction OF the
chase. We were out of sight of land and
the sun was trailing splendid pathway
across the ocean down toward the rim Of
the sky The hunters were skilled in en-
durance and thoroughly acquainted with
the ocean. They made their lines all fast
to the whale and some of them slept while
others watched. The following morning
before day dawn the big light at Tatoosh
Island was seen and as day came on the
bold prOmontory of the coast was in view.
The tide sets in shore off the mouth of
the outlet TO Puget Sound; breeze had
sprung up, and, with mutton-leg sails
which the Indian always carries in his
canoe, aided by their paddles our little
fleet approached the shore ten miles north
from its point OF departure. In the after
noon the whale was anchored at high tide,
and when the ocean receded the natives
set at work and carved up their prize.
The first sportsman had first choice, and
so on. It was a law that division should
be made in this order. Little, big, old
and young feasted almost to bursting.
Nor were the Indians at all particular as
to the preparation. Whale biubber in-
Guiding the skin, was eaten raw. Little
naked children were quite as happy with a
mouth filled with black raw skin as San
Francisco urchin with jaws mastica'ing

ninety years of age. She is descendent of
the father of English poetry, and came to
California saddened by a touching romance
of her early life. Educated as thoroughly
as is the custom with English ladies, she
was also an artist OF acknowledged ability.
her drawings in particular being highly
thought of by critics. Miss Wells was
always modest and retiring, and could
hardly be called one of the charmed
Circle" save that she was a contemporary
of Mrs. Farnham.
Charles O.. Ames. the illustrious Unita-
rian preacher, hoped to establish cougre-
CATION of libera-mnded people in Santa
Cruz, but found little following. In Mrs.
Farnham and her associates, however. he
saw cOngenIal spirits, aud his name be-
came enrolled among these leading lights
of early Santa Cruz. Mrs. DIR. Fagan was
ali early-day scnOolteacher and woman
highly esteemed for her breadth and good
qualities.
''Sser" Mary Ann Case cannot be clas-
sified among those above referred to, but,
on the contrary. as hostile to their ways
and opinions. She is worthy of mention,
however, as the first Protestant school
teacher in the county. 10 every one she
was SISTER Case, and a fitting example
she was to the folk of Santa Cruz She
testified" at every weekly church meet
ing. and. moreover, told the, same expert
ence on each occasion. She joined the
silent majority about two years ago. at the
age of 80 years.
To return to Mrs. Farnham. marie
Valhasky" married doctor, who subse-
quently became resident physician al the
Stockton Insane Asylum. Thither Mrs.
Farnham repaired as matron, her purpose
still being the study of character. At the
end of one year she resigned, but during
her stay she was one day shocked at the
appearance among the patients of FItZ-
patrick, who had gone crazy from remorse
and dissipation. He was subsequently
sent for and taken to France. where his
political services were rewarded.
Mrs. Farnham, after her resignation from
the asylum. entered the army as nurse.
where she contracted consumption and
soon died. Rev. DR.. Frothingham. the
celebrated preacher. delivered a most eulo-
CYSTIC sermon over the remains.
Mrs. Kirby died few years ago, be-
queathing her literary talent to her daugh-
ter Ora. who is still a resident of Santa
Cruz Marie Valhasky" is still in the
literary field. although little is seen of her
work OF late.
Mrs Soaring made Santa Cruz a refuge
from troubles which haIassed her life in
the East. AS Howard Glyndon" she
wrote many popular poems, and. as before
stated. her productions have been consid-
cred worthy of class jtication among those
of the leading poets of America.
