may be admitted to the home The
majority OF those who come are half
orphans. The state of California paws
an appropriation for each inmate but it
is small, and where parents or friends
are abba they are required to paw
small sum yearly for the maintenance of
the child and to furnish some clothes If
possible. There are now 1872 children in
the home and the highest number ever
kept there was 142. The second and
fourth Fridays OF each month are re-
served for the Visits OF parents, who may
not see their children oftener unless in
case OF sickness or some other such event.
The older children attend the CASTELAR,
street public school on the same footing
with other scholars OF the public schools
OF the city, and it has been said that
their appearance and department. does
not distinguish them from the other
scholars. 1t is the pride of Mrs. Davis,
who has been in the school for two years
and has been its superintendent for four
months, that these charity children shall
not be more poorly dressed than the
others, or be made to feel beneath them.
There are great many more boys than

1t is the intent of the management to
procure other homes, in respectable
families, for the children where it is
possible. and the parents of the children

always glad to know of families where
children would be received. When the
children are sent from the echool they
are thoroughly capable OF caring for

tions of trust and honor.

There is one region deficient in rain

refer to the San Joaquin valley OF Cali
fornia. This valley ia fanked by the
Coast range on the west and by the
Sierrae on the east. The moisture
evaporated from the surface cannot es-
cape from the basin, but will be largely
preclpitated either over the valley or on
the sides OF adjacent mountains which
constitute its wstershed. IL, therefore,
the increase in irrigation and in the ex-
tent of cultivated area produces ma
terisl increase in the evaporation. it
seems reasonable to expect that this
moisture will be restored by an in
creased rainfall in the valley and on the
adjacent mountain sides. One consider
alton only would appear to retard and
diminish this effect. The enclosure OF
the valley prevents that rapid indrsught
OF air, which renders possible vertical
circulation. Thus the activity of the
whole process ia rendered sluggish and
the total amount OF moisture passing
through the cycle from evaporation to
rainfall is smaller than with a more
rapid circulation"
Unfortunately, there is no long rec
ord of rainfall in California or in any
section Of the semi-arid regions of the
United States. At Sacramento and at
San Francisco very accurate rainfall rec
ords exist from lS49 to the present time.
Sacramento ia not good representative
OF the semi-arid section of California to
show the effect of the settlement and
dsve iopment of the country on the rain
fall, while San Francisco is an ideal sta
ton to compare from, the latter station
being out of the influence of any artl-
fetal means that might influence the
rainfall. The distance between the two
stations ia about 80 miles.
Using the records from those stations
and grouping the years together IN five
year periods, we have the following re-
sults in percentages OF variations in the
rainfall OF each period from the normal ::

To see these children eat Ia one OF the
chiefest pleasures of the visit. The long
tabsls covered with snowy white oil
cloth extend in unbroken rows clear
across the large dining hall, and each
ch'ld has his own place where the came
dishes are placed for eacn meal. The
tables are higher at one end OF the
room and the larger children sit here,
while down there at the low table, where
the cute little chairs are, cit the younger
ones. Girls are on the left side Of the
room, boys on the right. Each girl
must serve her time as waitress, not only
because it is one of the plans of the in
stitution that the children shall do the
work whenever they, can, but because
when these children leave this friendly
home to go out into the world for them
selves they are expected to know how
to do many useful things, especially such
as pertain to household duties.
The kitchen is kept .scrupul ous'y clean
