A Big Foreclosure.
BERKELEY.

Yesterday the walks and halls Of the uni
verslty resumed much OF their wOnted activity
after three months OF quietude. The old stu
dents are not back in numbers yet, as the work
OF he university does not begin until Monday,
August 80. Yesterday the martlculation ex-
aminations were commenced aud will continue
through to-day and tomorrow. Up TO this date
160 candidates for admission have been rec ON
mended from accredited schools, and about the
same number were applicants for admission at
the June examination. With those now taking
the examinations the class of '98 promises TO
be considerably over 800, and will probably
reach close 10 the 400 mark before the week Is
over.
The University Register is at last out and
will be mailed TO any one wishing il. The Reg
lister Is three months late this year. owing TO
delay at the Sacramento printing office.
Opening the Streets.
1t was expected that last evenings meet
ings of the Town Board OF Trustees would adj
vance the matter of opening several streets to
tile waller front. The town attorney gave his
opinion Of the merits of the question. Three
OF the streets-Deiaware, Bristol and Uniyer-
Sity avenue-are now owned by Messrs. Samuel
and William Haywood. AT the part OF the de-
sired opening the Haywood tract lies between
the present. lower extremity of these streets
and the bay. The owners of this tract think
The present opening of beSe streets premature,
but have decided 10 deed, free of expense 10 the
town, the right OF way of these three streets,
the deeds to be made out as soon as the town
is ready TO make the Improvement.
Notes.
c. S. Preble. who was to accompany the COM
mIttee appointed TO select land for the Altru-
rian colony, has returned TO Berkeley, being
unable TO proceed, as private interests de.
manded his return.
An illustrated history OF the University of
California Is now IN press and Will be out by
the latter part OF September. The book will be
edited by Professor William Carey Jones, Am.

that new enterprises would cease or

FLAN CULTURE IN EUROPE.
Russia Grows More of This Crop Than
Any Country in the World.

Our principal supply Of the raw ma
terial, says Chambers Journal, is i'm
ported from Russia, where the plant
has long been, and still Is, cultivated
more extensively than in any other
country in the world; but there the
culture of the crop and preparation OF
the fiber receive less care and atten--
ton than in any other producing
country. This neglect may be account
ed for by the immense tracts under
crop and also by much thinner SOW
ing than is practiced i'll other coun-
tries in order to give the plant greater
strength and more numerous branches,
to prevent it being laid during the
violent thunderstorms that prevail
about the time it is in flower. The re-
suit of this treatment, however, is a
coarse fiber, and also very much In
ferior yield to that grown thicker and
under more favorable circumstances
of soil and attention in its early stages.
Germany, Austria and France follow
Russia as f1aX-producing countries, and
in each of these an average area of
over 100000 acres is kept under this
crop. In Holland flax is grown prtn-
cipally for the seed, and the planting
and growth of the crop, as well as
the time OF pulling, is regulated for
this purpose. By properly maturing
the seed the quality of the fiber is in
jured and renders the subsequent
process more difficult; but the Dutch
farmers are amply remunerated by the
high price obtained for the seed, which
has for agricultural purposes a world
wide fame, and is chiefly sown In
Britain, although Riga seed is also
used and preferred by some growers
as being more hardy. 1t is Belgium.
however, to which we must turn to see
flax in the highest state of cultivation,
where nothing is neglected that car
in any measure improve the quantity,
and more especially the quality, OF
the crop. Here proper rotation of the
crops, superior tillage and liberal ma
nuring of the land are attended to III
a manner not seen elsewhere, and to
this the careful, plodding Belgian
farmers owe their success in raising
other crops as well as flax, aud which
has earned for them the reputation
they enjoy of being the most success
full agriculturists in the world.

THE EARTH IS SINKING AT VARI-
GUS POINTS.
Inhabitants Are Getting Frightened
and Many Are Leaving the Lo-
cality of the Cave-ins

WfIculta, Kans., Sept 22-The earth
is caVing in in Junction, Harvey, Iut..
Ter and Marion counties of this state
Great excitement prevails among the
people and many of them are going
away The disaster is of unaccOunt-
able origin and the state officials have
been summoned to investigate the dis
turbance. No shock was felt when the
earth caved in, nor did it bear any
resemblance to an earthquake. Near
Whitewater an area of 40 by 30 feet
sunk to a depth of % feet and when
a man was let down into the hole his
weight alone sunk it nearly three feet
more. An area Of rs feet square sunk
at Plum Grave a depth of $50 feet.
This was on the farm of Sid Jones
and carried in a threShing machine
and separator with it. Water poured
into the latter hole from underground
till it filled nearly to the top, but the
hole at Whitewater is still dry though
it is supposed that the caye-in earth
is resting upon a vast body of water.
The places are some seven or eight
miles apart. At Annelyn, there were
several small cave-ins, ranging in
depth from six to forty feet.
Theories advanced are various. but
none of them so far are scientific. Not
long since a man was digging well n
the vicinity of Blum Grave and when
he reached depth OF 26 feet the drill
shot into an apparent vacuum and
could not be recovered. All the cave
ins, great and small, extend in a
crooked, stream-like course a distance
of about twenty-four miles.
