An Interesting Place by chs Sss ON tina
California Coast.
On the northern coast of California,
ONE thirty miles below the mouth Of
he Klamath River, is one Of the most
interesting natural formations to be
'ound in this country, known as the
Big Lagoon. Here the coast, which
'uns north and south up to this point,
lakes a sharp turn inland, bordered
0y high hills, running toa distance of
lGout three miles, then turning out
again makes a sharp bay, almost V
shaped, and for ages past a sand bar
aas been washing itself up across this
bay until the Bar has raised up out of
The w~aters0me ten or twelve feet,
l1Yt.nng a width of about 100 feet and
length of four miles, reaching across
the entire bay.
This bar is in the shape of a roof.
When there is a storm the breakers
will roll up one side OF it, break
aver and run down into the bay in
SIDE, and it is a novel sight to stand
there and watch the waters, mount
ain high on one side and perfectly
calm on the other, the line between
the two at intervals hidden alto
gether. This bar is a sort OF short cut
and can be trayersed on horseback.
In a storm the horseman will one
minute be high and dry on land, the
next minute a large wave will roll up
and, running under the horses feet to
the depth Of a foot or more, the rider
will he, for an instant, four miles or
50 at sea on horseback, with no land
nearer than the high bluffs OF the
mainland in sight.
Moss agates may be found In album
dance on the pebbly beach, and when
the sun shines they glitter with daz-
ding brightness.
The wild duck that frequents this
part of the coast literally fill this In

should he take a shot at them, will
raise such a cloud and such a quack'

Among other curious objects which
Bolten brought home from the West
India Islands, were Two pods of the
sand box tree, curious circular store
houses for the seed, deeply ribbed,
each rib running from top to bottom
Of the pod. These received places of
honor in lacquer trays. and with the
rest of his collection, adorned his
bedroom mantel-shelf. One night he
was awakened by what he thought
was a pistol shot in his room. At
the same time missiles were flying all
around. He sprang out of bed and
lighted the gas. Then he saw that
the treasures of the mantel-shelf
were scattered about the room. The
sand boxes had vanished. He
searched the room carefully. There
was no trace, SO far as he could see,
of the cause Of the explosions. Not
long after a friend was in Bolten's
room, and looking over the remnants
of his collection, remarked, Hello!
here is a piece of a sand box"
''What Is that?" asked Bolten.
'fWell, It's the fruit of a tree that
grows in the West Indies, and got
its name owing to the planters using
it, in the days before blotting paper
was invented, for sand boxes. The
seeds were cut out of the center and
the pod was filled with sand. 1t was
an unsatisfactory box, how
ever, for as soon as the seed are ripe
it explodes with a report like a gun,
the seeds and shell of the pod being
scattered in all directions. So great
is the force of the explosion that the
broken pieces are thrown forty aud
fifty feet. Fowls, as soon as they
hear an explosion run toward the
rec and are soon busy looking Tor
the seeds, which are greedily swal-

ing Animals.
Professor u. r. Salmon, chief Of the
United States bureau Of animal indus
try, says that for growing animals corn
alone is not so suitable as wheat or oats.
From chemical analysis of foods q
mixture of corn and wheat should prove
better ration for fattoning animals
than either grain alone. When wheat
ard corn are the same price, he says it
pays better to feed the wheat and sell
the corn. Wheat weights Z per cent
heavier than corn. When it is fed alone,
it is just as good for fattening animals
as corn fed alone, and it is better for
growing animals, and the manurial
value of wheat is much greater than
that of corn.
When you begin TO feed wheat, how
ever, 90 slow at first Give only small
quantities, gradually increasing. Fed
in large quantity suddenly, it will PRO.
duce indigestion. Mix it with other
grain
