hold an elephant. The moose was so ar
ranged directly across the path that the
lower part would Just strike the breast
and the upper part just high enough to
miss the highest head of badly fright
ened and widest horse on the plains,
Five OF these snares We're arranged,
Luckily, the wind was blowing gently
directly down the canon from where the
band OF mustangs was supposed to be,
and We felt somewhat assured that we
could not flush our game prematurely
by this means. The most difficult part
Of the brilliant idea, however, was yet
to be accomplished, and that was to get
"beyant' the band of "hosses" without
flushing that extremely wary ghost"
Many plans We're discussed, but 1t
was finally settled that four of the par
ty were to divide two by two and grad
ually steal their way along through
the densest cactus thickets along the
foot of either wall until they could
reach a safe point beyond the band.
This was accomplished easier and soon
er than was expected, and after the rest
of the party had been lying in wait
some six or eight hours, secreted on
either side of the canon, near the chap
paral path and in convenient reach of
the snares, a rumbling sound, as of the
clatter of thousand hoofs broke upon
their expectant ears, and the equine
ghost" put in an appearance several
lengths ahead, and In grand shape and
presenting the most beautiful spectacle
that / had ever beheld.
TT saampd tp mo that NV haart would
leap out of my mouth, the desire came
so strong upon me to possess the ami
NAL. As he entered the narrow path
and was nearing the first snare the
whole party, upon a preconcerted plan,
fastened to head off the advancing cav
alcade of stampeding mustangs follow
ing at a distance pell-mell in the wake
of the white stallion, to prevent them
trampling him to death as he fell at the
end of the moose.
But, to make a long story short, in or
der to prevent the wild rushing from
trampling us to jelly we were obliged
to give way instead, while the democrat
lied herd wedged into the narrow open
ing single file trampling the equine
ghost" Four other leaders shared the
same fate, as they reached each moose
ahead, and crippled and MANNED horses
We're piled and packed in the thorny
brush until the passage was completely
blocked The utter and complete fail
ure of our enterprise was a sad blow to
the whole party, and no one regretted 1t
more than myself, as it was the de-
struction of a pretty legend among the
plainsmen.
But our troubles did not end here.
We could not return through the can
on by the way we had entered, as the
only passage was so completely blocked
| by dead and wounded horses that 1t
was impossible. To follow up the can
on in the opposite direction before find
| ing an outlet was highly probable,
| This was a serious dilemma indeed, and,
nolens volens, the alternative was
adopted and acted upon, and after three
days hard travel we reached a passage
lin the wall of the canon, where with
difficulty we made our egress to the
plateau and took our course for our
field of operations with the compass and
chain.

HOPE FOR tn h FARAIER.

There is no end to the wonders of cleo
tricity. Experiments are being con-
Quoted at several Of the stations of the
Department of Agriculture with the
purpose of testing the effect of electric
ity and electric lights upon plaat
growth. Some of the results already
secured are remarkable. At the Ithaca
experiment station Professor Bailey has
conducted tests, both with naked are
light and with one covered by a globe.
He hung the uncovered arc light, of g.
600 candle-power, inside his greenhouse,
burning it all night. He found that the
plants matured earlier than others in a
greenhouse lighted only by the sun. The
nearer the plants We're to the light the
faster was their growth. 1t is found
that the lives of certain plants are so
much FASTENED by bare electric lights
that they cannot supply themselves fast
enough with food, such as water, for in
Stance. BY removing them to a greater
distance a. certain point will be found
where water may be supplied fast
enough to meet the requirements. Pro-
fessor Bailey believes that if grown I'M
der electric lights for several genera
items, plants will adapt themselves to
fastened growth, just as they have be-
come used to greenhouse life in winter.
A criticism which has been advanced
against the practicability of these cleo
tro-agricultural experiments is that the
extra expense of running a dynamo will
more than cover the money saved by
rapid development of crops. In the
Utah experiment station, however, ex-
periments are being made with view
to provide against this objection. To a
pole twenty or more feet high has been
attached a long wire, terminating in a
copper brush. The wire is connected
with a grating beneath the ground for
distributing the currents. The electric
ity which always pervades the atn1os-
phere, even on clear days of summer.
was found sufficient to stimulate the
growth of certain vegetables. The ex-
perimsnlters believe that this fact can
be made to yield practical results in ag-
riculture.
If the farmer can by the use of cleo
tricity stimulate the growth Of vegeta-
bles and kill the weeds at the same
time he will be all right.

AT the beginning of the season 1t was
estimated that 100000 gallons of wine
would be made in California this sea-
son, but the secretary Of the State Witt
cultural commission said few days
ago that, because of recent unfavor-
able weather, the grapes have not ma
tured as well as was expected, and fully
rs per cent. of the first estimates must
he deducted. He now believes the vint-
age this year will not exceed 16, 600, 900
gallons. This will put up the price of
wine, he believes. The price has ranged
lately from 13 to Is cents q gallon for
new wine. There is now very little wine
in the cellars throughout the State, and
he looks for rise in the price from II
ito 20 cents gallon. 1t will still be a
very profitable year for viticulturists,
for the falling off in the crop will be
fully made UP in the increased value of
wine The secretary thinks the Califor-
mia wine industry now looks better than
st has for some time.

IDENTIFY means to continue so to do. The

The new government will make no ma

not less than seven first class battle
ships, eleven cruisers, four sloops and
forty-two torpedo boat catchers. It was
also provided that work should be COM

class cruisers of $3.50 tons and 10000
horse power each, and natural draught

ers of 2,100 tons, 1000 horse power, and
a speed Of 20 knots; also twenty torpedo

extensive repairs and alterations of ex-

six and the beginning Of nineteen more

He hesitated but a moment, and then
he launched himself into space. His
flight through the air was like that of
his legs were spread out as wide as pos
sible. He descended in a long, graceful
plane, seeming to move slowly, as If
buoyed up. There was a curve to the
descent as if the animal were an aero
plane. A reporter stood within five
feet Of the spot where Tom landed.
There was no dull thud, although those
who had followed the black streak
through the4air naturally expected to
see cat with all of its proverbial nine
lives crushed out in an instant by the
impact. The perpendicular distance
was all of fifty feet and the cat landed
at a point about thirty feet east of the
line of the window from which he had
leaped.
The spreading feet Of the flying ami
NAL seemed to group together just be-
fore the asphalt pavement was reached.
For single instant did the animal
pause, as if to recover from the shock
it had experienced, and then, with a
long-drawn me-ouw that spoke only Of
terror, and with every hair on end, it
dashed down the brilliantly lighted
street and disappeared in the shadows
near Central park. The cat was a pet

known 1t has not as yet come back to
the scene of its great scare and still
greater exploit.
