is to cover all these breaks which have
already been made by the current. The
principal thing to accomplish in making the
improvements, is to prevent the current
from cutting into the banks at the bottom,
or along the face at higher point. This,
it is believed, the reyetment will accom-
plish. One great and insurmountable obsta
Gle, is the fact that the willamette, durin z
highest stages, rises over its banks and
mandates much of the surrounding country.
No plan of engineering, or project of i'm
provement can overcome this difficulty.
The construction of walls of solid masonry
along the banks if such a thing were possi-
BILE. coald not prevent the stream from
pouring out of its legitimate confines; for
the soil is so porous that the water would
easily find its way into all the adjoining low
lands:
The difficulties which confront the eng in
eer are not esily overcome; but Major Post
has submitted what, in his experienced
Judgment, is the most feasible project,
under all the circumstances. If the board
of engineers disapproves of the plan, he will
have done his official duty; should that
body indorse the project submitted, work
will be commenced as soon as practi-
cable and crowded forward to completion.
It is thought, with judicous expenditure
the necessary and important improvement
can be made within the amount of the appro.
priation 600.

"W hat 10 you Sdy to nidt, Broum7' by London. Paris, Amsterdam and all the capitals of Europe to como to Maiden lane, New York, to sell you the stone for tenth of its value"
 All that seems to be true, but the fact remains that have bought it and it is mine"
 This was said with almost boyish ex- ultation. Burling was delighted over the purchase he mad made and did not mean that anything that could say should lessen his pleasure
 Of course I knew that ill some mys- terious way Mana Sahibs ruby had been extracted from Sandhusen's room at the Windsor and sold again to my friend. How that was done was as i'm penetrable a mystery as ever, but there could be little doubt that we were upon the track and tho whole thing would soon bo cleared up,
 How Burling would open his eyes when, after examining his purchase, 1 should quietly inform him that it was the property of our mutual friend, Geof- frey Sandhusen, who had had it in his uduuSy Wllulu luS < I uOuTS WHICH saw its sale to Burling himself. Of course, much as it would grieve him, he would turn it over to the riGhtful owner. who would see that he suffered no loss
 But MT. Darius C. Howard would now be brought to book. could identi- fy the ruby and with Sandhusen give such testimony as would inevitably convict the audacious thief and compel him to tell a story of surpassing inter est.
 Iwalked past my store to the estab- lishmcnt of Burling Bros, my com panion striding into the place with the triumphant step of a schoolboy who has just won first prize. His clerks had pre- ceded him, and everything was in order. The ruby was still in the safe, and he brought it with his own hands and dis played it before me with the proud question:
 What do you say to that, Brown?" What could I say when the first | glance showed mo that it was not Mana Sahib's ruby?

 LoGGERHEAD KEY, Dry Tortugas, May lo.-Loggcrhcad key is tho last eruption of the great Florida reef It is Unclo Sam's jumping of place in the southeast. The Elc is famous for its turtles, and recent- ly engaged in turtle hunt there with a merry party from Key West.
 The light on the key is ono of tho best on tho coast. It is of the first order aul can be seen 25 miles. There arc only sev- en such lights on tho Atlantic scaboard. The tower is 1G2 feet high, painted half black, half white. As tho sun had not yet set and tho sport would not begin till night, climbed the l96 steps to the Ian tern. Far around spread tho gulf, with hero and therc n reef speaking the surface of tho water. Inside tho great light burn cd 1CrCCly.
 In one side of tho glass set in the tower Is n strip of crimson. When n vessel sees this danger signal, shc knows there Is a shOal ahead. SOmc lights have several such strips, representing as many shoals.
 The equipment of a lighthouse is pro- verbally neat. At LoggCrhcad, as at cv- cry light, three keepers live. Each man takes his shift at watching in tho tower Ono man lights the lun ? and stays beside it till 10 oclOck; another keeps vigil till ?; the third finishes tho darkness At shoal light likc this the keepers arc allow ed to have their families with them, but at reef lights, the most lonely places in the world, no woman is permitted to stay at night. LOggrrhcad key is one of tho largest of the Florida keys, and tho quar- tcrS of the keepers arc very pretty. Cocoa palms shade tho long, cool house, and veg etation peculiar to tho climc Is abundant
 squall drove Us into the dwelling, and the sitting room was we'll filled The floor was as white as scrubbing could make it. The clean walls were adorned with pie lures.
 As storm was brewing, tho members in the party thought 1t best not to venture out till the weather was settled. So, with comb and accordion and whistling for music, n dance was called. They were all old and young and the dog, mcrrily footing the measures of n Virginia reel when Steve tapped mo on the shoulder. Steve was pilot from tho quarantine station at Garden key, thrcc miles away.
 Say, I'm going to walk the beach Want to comr:' he whispered. Leaving tho others dancing I turned and slid out of the door with Steve.
 "Walking the beach" and turning a turtle" arc terms peculiar to these rcgiOns. In tho season tho female turtle heavy with CSES CrIwlS up on tho sand to lay She swims quietly to the Shallows, and thCrc halts for a few minutes to sec that tho coast is clear.

 According to these recitals of expert ments. it would be justihnble to advise local farmers to exercise some caution in its introduction.
 The climate of the native habitat of Sachaline, cold and moist, would appar- ently mako its trial in southern countries dubious, and in the northern states its growth has not been cxpcrimented with at all unless Iowa be included in that geo graphical section.
 There Is, however, one very important and useful purpose to which sachaline may be put.
 Its great strength of root and the inter minable manner in which they ramify, making a closely meshed network of roots whose strength of resistance is something marvellous, would make this growth of ex- ceeding great value planted along tho banks of rivers which have q tendency to over flow and cause great damage.
 Particularly in the south and south- west, which countries suffer such heavy losses from overflow washes, sachaline might be planted on their edges as a pro- tection against loss of life and property in the rainy season. Its roots being exceed InSly long, ths moisture of the subsoil would prevent the destruction of the plant by the prolonged dry season.
 The following method of cultivating sachnline Is taken from The Gardeners Chronicle, London, for Fob. IT, 1894: Ut is best to procure in winter, say from January to April, sccds and root cuttings. On getting them they should be stratified for multiplication with sand or sandy soil in box or flowerpot and protected from frost. The beds of root stocks or of seeds may be overlaid with light layer of fine earth. In spring, when the buds of the stock begin to shoot, they should be placed | in their Anal position, and thus vigorous roots of rapid growth are obtained. As to the seeds, when these begin to grow, on | the appearance of the radiclo they should be treated like flower or vegetable seeds, sown first in D garden in good, rich soil in | rows and aftorward put out into nursery beds or In their final position.

ailing from London.

Howard, last hailing from London"
 A thrill passed through me. Twas on the track of Mama Sahib's ruby at last and when 1 had not the remotest sus- picion of hearing anything of it. Bur ling was an honorable man, but did not intend to make a confldant of him. I was too much of detective for that.
 When did you secure it?"
 He brought it to the store yesterday afternoon. I examined it minutely and found it genuine pigeons blood"
 ''Of how many carats?"
 ''I did not ascertain that, but it is enormous. I should say over 80 carats "
 Such gems generally have history. I suppose he gave the one belonging to your specimen?"
 "Yes, but it had no special interest He said it came from the mines of Bur- ma, where, you know.. the finest in the world are found. It was purchased by his father after tho British secured possession of the country, and when his parent died he gave it to his son, who sells it because he needs the money"
 He ought to obtain a fortune for a gem like that '
 Burling responded to the feeler thus thrown out:
 That's ono of tho strangest facts con- nected with the business. Supposed he would want me to hunt up buyer for S10O, GOO or so, but instead he offered it to mo for $l5, ,O0O."
 You did not let such a chance slip"
 You may be sure I did not.
 And gave him your check on the spot:"
 ''I proposed that, but he preferred the money. and sent out and obtained it. "
 "Burling, remarked gravely, "are you not afraid that there is something wrong about this?''
 The thought occurred to me, and possibly have assumed some risk in buying the jewel, but the bargain was tempting, and his story was a straight one ''
 All great swindlers are masters of fiction. No dependence is to be placed upon the stuff they tell you. Now, if this ruby is worth, say. $50, 900, why did he offer it to you for less than one third of that sum-"
 He may not have known its real value.
 Incredible, since, according to his own story, it has been in the possession of his family for a number of years. In no other places ill the world do they know the value of precious stones more accurately than in Calcutta, Madras and Bombay. Then, too. he has passed
