The above cut illustrates an AUTOMATIC WATER GATE, to regulate and keep in subjectioH the rise of water in canal, due to over-abUnd ant flow, or to sudden rises in the canal owing to severe rains or storms.
 It is particularly valuable to have such Water Gate placed in lower bank of canl at such points along its line Where there are Ravines, Gullies, ArrOyOs, Foot Hills, ButteS, or Tableland, as any rains storms bring down at such points surplus of water that is very dangerous to the banks of canal. Tie Waste Gate, however, will prevent such damage, aS it is
 sELF-ACTING AND PERFECT SAFETY VALVE Relieving the canal, at short intervals, of its plus water, thus preventing the washing away Of banks, and causing great damage generally, no alone to canal, but property owners all along the line who may suffer more or less damages there afterfor the want of water owing to the damaged condition of canal and while such repair. being made Not only is it valuable to relieve canal of its surplus water, to prevent damage and eX- pense, but by it's use the first cost of canal con- struction will be materially lessened the banks need not be made so high or wide
 The device is extremely simple, and cOmpara- lively inexpensive Its plan of operation is this:
 There is pipe fastened to an opening in the vertical gate, l. When the body of water rises to the level of the upper end of pipe, ?, water runs
 freely into the tank, 3, which IS immediately filled thus overbalancing the weight, 1, which is on the other end of lever, ,, thus forcing open the gate which suddenly relieves the canal of large sur plus of water. When body of water recedes below a certain level more water is admitted to the tank; therefore Smpties itself by a small faucet opening 6, at the bottom, this being done, the weight Overbalances tank, and brings down the lever, which, being rigid to the swinging gate closes it. This operation continues at short m tervas, so long as the body of water keeps rising over a certain level The lever, gate, pipe and tank are all rigid, and hinge, or pivot, on hoIi ZontaI shaft The gate, Hume or box can be made any height width, length desired. The gate ca II be hinged between any bulkhead without box.
 The Water Gate is a Perfect Safety Valve, and is to a body of water what a safety valve is to steam. They can he made any size, corresponding with body of water and size of cana! It is secured by letters patent, and for sale only by

YUMA COUNTY.

A white man first set foot on what is how Yuma County in I'll. It is the southwest division of the Territory, and one of the four original counties of She Ter ritcry. Many great reclamation projects are however on foot, and in a few years eX- pect to see Yuma County rated as the richest in the Territory.
 The first glimpse the traveller from Cali fornia catches of Arizona is that ot the picturesque town of Yuma, which is snugiy situated in the embrace of gentle rolling hills. upon whose crest8 and sides the modern homes of our superior civilization are crowdins the adobe dwellings into eternal oblivion. Yuma Is the gateway to Arizona. the new empire of the West, upon whose undeYeloped riches the eyes oi the
 ountry are at present turned, and aS soch' she is bound to grow and prosper with raniditv that at present can hardly be re- alized But coupled with her geographI- cal position we find that she is the center of a country whose agricultural possibili- ties are practically unlimited, being sur rounded by soil the fertility of which exceeds that of the delta Of the Nile, and wanting oaly water to become a paradise of bloom. Billions of gallons of that precious fluid have annually gone to waste at Yuma's very doors, but already reaction is taking place and many enterprises are on foot to supply the life-giving waters ot the yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth.

Born Without Ears.

On Thursday morning of last week,
there WAS born to the wife of Jere-
miah Landau of Shamokin, a bright
girl baby without ears. Otherwise
the newly born infant is perfect in
limb and body and is the picture OF
health. Hundreds of people throng
ed the Landau residence the next day.
DR.. Bealor, hor physician, says that
it is question to his mind whether
there is similar ease on record.
Where the ears should be there are
two small holes. Inserting a needle
in thsse the physician hoped to dis
cover whether or not the child was
in possession of perfect ear drums.
An examination elected the fact that
the ear drums were as hard as the
skull bone. The babe weighed at
birth just fifteen pounds aud has a
lux lriant growth of hair that falls
gracefully over its chubby neck and
bides from view the medical phenom.
