THE NAVAL OFFICER.
John p. Irish Ready to Take Office
Next Month.

John p. Irish, The newly appointed Naval
Oficer at this port, visited the Office of the
clerk of the United States District Court yes
terday and filed q bond in S20,000 for the
faithful performance OF duty, with Jesse d.
Carr of Salinas and Leonard w. Buck of
Vacavile as his sureties.
1t is supposed that Mr.. Irish will don the
gold.lace cap of the Naval Oficer on February
1 next. He has only one place In his office
TO dispose of-that of chief deputy, at a salary
of $500 month-and those who know say that
Z. w. MaslIn has bad the appointment wrapped
up and laid carefully away ever since Irish was
nominated.
The position OF Naval Officer is a sinecure.
The office pays $4,000 year, and the duties
consist OF signing score OF papers once every
two or three months.
Incidentally IL may be remarked that Chaun-
cey L. 81. John having succeeded I'm dlsposlng

that In he near future he may be removed from

the gubernatorial bees will fairly swarm up

Why William rierklebach Jr. So Sud-

A TROPIC LAND.
Baia California as a Place
to Live In.
DIR. Gustav Eisner Lectures Before a
Large Audience at the Academy
of Sciences.

Dr. Gustav Eisner, who has attained some
celebrity as a biologist and an advanced
archaeological student delivered lecture last
evening before The Academy of Science on Baja
California.
Ordinarily speaking Ba1a, or Lower, Cali
fornia has been considered a most unattractive
place, and probably owing TO this erroneous
conception of the climate. products, etc., OF the
peninsula little interest has been displayed by
Americans in il. Yet, as DR.. Eisuer pointed out
in his preliminary remarks Lower California is
geographically part of this State aud country,
although under the Jurisdiction OF the Mexican
GoVerDmrn
From the boundary line which separates
Lower California from this State down 10 La
PaZ the country Is In climate, as well As ZOolog-
icaIly and geOlogically, closely allied with Cali
fornia. Below La PaZ to Cape San Lucas
the climate Is tropical, having heavy rains In
the summer months and delightful! and dry
winter. DR.. Eisner very briefly explained why
such difference should exist in the climate OF
Lower California by saying that undoubtedly al
not very remote period Tue southern portion
of the peninsula was an island. The action OF
glaciers and moraines In the mountain range
that continues from California through the
lower country are plainly visible and tend 10
substantaie the hypothesis.
All tropical products can be grown and
brought to high state OF perfection. Al
present the sugarcane is the chief agricultural
product, although oranges, lines and other
fruits are also exported. Coffee is grown in
small quantities. but is OF a most excellent
qualify, Tivaling the Mocha. The grapes grown
are OF the Mission variety, and in the uplands
apples and peaches can be successfully grown.
The eQuabilIy of the climate makes il a de-
lightful winter resort, all that is necessary be-
ing the introduction OF American capital aud
the vim and business aptitude Of the northern
race.
DR.. Etsner illustrated his lecture with a series
Of stereOpticOn views made from photographs
taken by him. and they added very materially
10 the interest of the lecture.
a describ by him the lower country Is
prolific in vegetation. large palm forests being
found not unfrequently, while tile hillsides are
clothed with wild acacia and cactf. The wild
cactus furnishes luscious fruit, aud the wild
plum is also found in abundance. The persim-
mons, found wild, superior In flavor 10
either those grown in the East or In Japan.
The encOmiums passed upon Baja California
aroused the audience, that was fairly large, for
the lecturer was frequently interrupted as some
attractive picture was presented and explained.
