FAKIR'S GLASS DIAMONDS.
A Process That Turned Out to Be &
Practical Temperance Lesson.

A Process That Turned Out to Be
Practical Temperance Lesson.
There was a new face among the
fakirs on the water front the other
morning, the face of man who made
diamonds, rubies and other brilliants
out of old glass bottles. The color of
the bottles seemed to be the factor
that determined the nature of the
stone. The implements were small
hammer, a little polishing wheel and
a couple of boxes that contained a
powder, says the San Francisco Ex-
aminer.
The fakir had radiant portable
stand somewhat larger than the con-
trivance that a scissors grinder carries,
and at that he did thriving business.
Water front glassware was sacrificed
for diamonds, the accompanying sacri-
fee of silver varying with the size of
the finished product. Glass nuggets as
big as the Kohinoor, and quite as bril-
liant as the sun: were placed within
the reach of the multitude at fifty
cents, and a modest-sized diamond,
big enough for water front engage
ment ring, could be bought for twenty
cents.
Through the crowd an old man
pushed his way. Here's a bottle!'' he
exclaimed. Break that up into rubies
for me-
''No rubies in that" replied the
fakir. Its diamond bottle"
man. Break it anyhow! I've carried
that same bottle for twenty years
back, an many's the diamond an ruby
it's cost me. Break it up an keep the
diamonds for your trouble!"

SONORA COAL FIELDS.
ANTHRACITE ENOUGH TO SUPPLY
CONSUMERS FOR AGES.
One of the Syndicate Holding the Con-
csssion From the Mexican Cow
ernmept Says the supply is
Inexhaustible.

Tucson Star: W. B. Lowry returned
yesterday morning from the coal fields
in Sonora, for the working OF which
himself and several other gentlemen
have secured a concession from the
Mexican government. 1t will be re-
membered that he left here several
weeks ago for the purpose of examin-
irg the claims and inspecting the work
of development now in progress. Un-
der the direction of W. B. Wagy, the
fourth prospecting shaft, to verify the
diamond drill borings, is being sunk.
When Mr. Lowry started for Tucson,
a depth of so feet had been attained and
6-foot strata of the finest anthracite
penetrated. This vein was struck at a
depth of IS feet, and according to the
prospecting done with diamond drill
another 6-foot layer OF coal exists 81
feet further down. There are "a men at
work, divided into three shifts.
Considerable trouble was experienced
with water at first, there being an
artesian we'll near the shaft, but after
time the stream was diverted, and now
the steam pump keeps the shaft free of
the seepage. The Indians, the only class
of laborers obtainable, 60 down to their
work without a stitch of clothing on
their bodies and with the water dripping
upon them work like good fellows for
eli ght hours.
Mr.. Lowry says that the entire San
Marcial valley seems big coal bed. He
spent several days riding over the vast
acreage of land embraced in the conces-
sion and says that every here and there
were croppinge of coal on the mountain
sides, and the fact that prospecting
shows the veins to dip toward the valley
is conclusive evidence, he thinks, that
there is an almost inexhaustible supply
of coal lying there waiting 70 be taken
out into the sunshine.
MIR. Lowry comes home highly elated
with the outlook and says that these
fields of coal will be big thing for the
entire Pacific coast as soon as the neces-
sary transportation facilities are at hand
to place the coal on the market. The
fields are only ~ miles from the Gulf OF
Lower California and when once the
steel rails have crossed this stretch of
level country, Sonora coal will be
shipped all over the western states.
The Colorado river will no doubt be
utilized as means of transporting coal
to Yuma, to the Needles and TO other
points as far up as the stream ia navIg-
able. Golfers can load in the gulf and
with little difficulty and but little ex-
pense make their way to San Diego, San
Pedro, San Francisco and other Pacific
coast seaport towns affording excellent
harbor and railroad facilities.

A NORMAL SCHOOL.

San Diego Ciamors for such an Insti-
tuition.
San Diego Sun: For a week past q
movement has been quietly making
progress toward the establishment here
of a state normal school. A formal
meeting OF those interested was held in
Judge Luce's Office on Saturday alter
noon. There were present Judge Luce,
Major Chase, Chaplain John d. Parker,
Harr Wagner, county superintendent OF
schools, Eugene DeBurn, city superin-
tendent of schools; G. H. Turner, Prof.
Hugh J. Baldwin Of Coronado and sev-
eral others.
In the canvass of the general situa-
tion it was shown that California now
has but three normal schools-at Chico,
San Jose and Los Angeles. Theae are
now overcrcw wded, and the opinion was
expressed that it WAS practically certain
the next legislature weuld establish one
and perhaps mora normal schools some
where in the state. San Diego county
alone now furnishes over 40 pupils to
the Los Angeles normal, and thst insti-
tuition is particularly crowded. San
Diego, furthermore, certificates each
year about rs teachers who would be
eligible to normal school training. I'm
der these conditions it was decided to
make an effort to secure normal school
for this county.
Normal schools are entirely state in
stituions of learning, just as asylums
and similar institutions are state affairs.
Ordinarily, in the establishment of nor
NAL schools, the legislature first desig-
mates the location of the building, then
provides an appropriation for its con-
struction. In this case it is probable
that plan can be devised whereby the
appropriation for construction will not
be necessary, as it is proposed to offer
the Pacific Beach college buildings free
of cost. To do this it would be neces-
to raise about $4,000 to clear off some
miscellaneous outstanding debts, and it
is believed this can be done. o. J.
Slough, who holds by far the biggest end
of the Pacific Beach property, has been
consulted and is said to be willing to
make the state a present of his interests
in consideration of the establishment
and maintenance of a normal school.
He has adjoining property which would
be benefited, and would secure compen-
cation through these benefits.
1t was practically decided to present
such bill to the next legislature, and
it WAS felt that the effort would be sue
cessful

Dehorning Cattle.

A commission appointed by the On
tsrin government to investigate the de-
horn,ing of cattle came to these conclu-
sions SIT seems to be established
beyond reasonable doubt that dehorn-
ing, Joy etfecting change in the dispo-
sitioil of the animal, greatly increases
it's m arketable value, besides enabling
the owner to handle his stock with
great or care, economy and safety. In
the case steers raised for the export
trade. the owner is enabled to feed loose
in large stables, and to adopt improved
methods of saving manure, and. as the
unruly disposition has been largely sub
dued, less food 10 required in bringing
the animal to prime condition. The
stock can also re cared for by fewer
mem. On the English market the buy
ers gave about $5 per head more for de-
horned cattle, owing to the belief that
they put on feeh better. All the evil
dsnce, in fact. goes to show the posses.
sion. OF horns by cattle, in addition to
causing great and prolonged suffering
means loss in the aggregate of hum
dreda of thousands of dollars to the farm
ers of'this country" They advise ex-
periments in destroying the horns Of
calves by chemicals to see if it is not
better than cutting them off from ma
ture animals.

a New Scale Destroyer.

Riverside Enterprise DR.. G. E. Will
son of this city has invented and ia
about to procure patent for a new
method OF destroying the various kinds
of scale which attack fruit trets. DIR.
Wilson has been making experiments
for some four years past and now be.
lieves that he has been completely sue
cessful. He has tested his process on
1000 trees, mostly in San Bernardino and
Los Angeles counties, and says it has
worked perfectly in each case. DIR.
Wilson, for obvious reasons, does not
care to give the details OF his process.
He states, however, that his method is
to treat the infected trees by inoculating
them with a certain fluid. He claims
that by his method trees are freed from
scale OF any description in three days,
without injury to fruit or trees. By his
process the cost of treating tree ia but
one and one-half cents, and one man
can inoculate 300 trees in a day. DR..
Wilson has engaged Lorenzo D. Powell
to secure him patent for his process.
The doctor thinks his invention is
bound to work complete revolution in
the matter of combating fruit ests.

Ancient Child Burial.

There was an order in the Church of
England up to the year 1862, that if a
child died within month of baptism he
should be buried in his chrisom in lieu
of a shroud. The chrisom was a white
baptismal robe with which in medieval
times a child when christened was en-
veloped. A sixteenth century brass in
Chesham Bois church in Buckingham
shire represents Benedict Les, chrisom
child, in his chrisom cloth. The inscrip-
ton underneath the figure stands thus:

The Fertility of Soils.

Chemical analysis of soils has not
been found satisfactory means of de-
termining their fertility. While the
analysis may show the composition OF
the particular sample analysed, it fails
to indicate the amount of plant food
that may be available to the crop. In
the so-called "soil tests" the plant acts
as its own chemist. BY applying the
ingredients most commonly lacking,
namely. nitrogen, potash and phos-
pheric acid, singly and in combinations,
to different plots of land, we enable the
plants to draw from the soil the ingre-
dients not supplied. IL any of these
constituents are already present in the
soil in considerable quantities, the re-
suits in the crops will soon indicate it,
and if any are lacking poor crops will re-
suit, until the needed materials are sup
piled in an available form. This clearly
shows that soils cannot be cultivated to
the greatest profit without knowledge
OF their deficiencies as regards plant
food. Soil tests with fertilizers seem to
be the beet practical means for aacer-
tanning these deficiencies in particular
soils.
