as follows:
Ever since birth 1 have been af-

from various physicians, but never
received any benefit. On January

THE OLOVERDALE FAIR.

The Citrus Fair at Cfoverdale, Sonoma
County, was prepared so quietly and
launched so unexpectedly that its remark
able character has taken the State by sur
prise. 1t has been familiar knowledge for
years that oranges and lemons would grow
throughout the whole length of the foot
hills bordering the San Joaquin and Sac
ramento valleys on the east, but no par
ticular attention had been turned to the
possibilities of the coast ranges of noun
tains in this regard. 1t has always been
held in a vague way that the greater
humidity of the coast region was not con-
duciVe to the best results with citrus
fruits.
This seems strange and illogical now.
Some OF the finest grapes in the world are
grown in the Santa Cruz Mountains, where
summer fogs are of frequent occurrence,
and in spite of that fact these grapes carry
heavy percentage of sugar. The finest
prunes are grown in the valleys Of the
coast ranges and their richness in sac
charine is proverbial. 1t would be I'M
reasonable to expect oranges lacking in
sugar to be grown in localities which pro-
duced other fruits exceedingly rich in
sugar. The only question that it is now
proper to consider in the case of oranges,
with respect to their adaptability to the
coast regions, is that of frost.
The region in which Cloverdale is stu
ated has soil which is mostly decomposed
volcanic matter. The fertility of such soils
is great and practically inexhaus.ible. The
natural vegetation throughout the region
is abundant and luxuriant, fogs are rare
except in the lower valleys and the climate
is exceedingly pleasant. A test OF the
thermal conditions there prevalent is
found in the fact that olives and Smyrna
figs grow and flourish there with perfect
immunity from danger of hurting cold
that is to say, the climate is semi-tropical
The lemon is very tender plant, and yet
its fruit, besides that of other citrus fruits

MORE DATA NEEDED.

a curious inconsistency on the part OF the
Government appears I'D the zeal with
which it studies the ocean currents on
this side of the continent as compared with
the neglect with which it treats our meteor
illogical conditions. 1t has kept the Alba
tross constantly in service for years inves-
tigating the subject of surface and deep
currents and the temperature of the water
at all depths, besides authorizing it to give
considerable attention to forms of deep
sea life. This Iast-named branch of its
work may not be of great interest TO navi-
gators, nor may be that of water temper
allure; but study of ocean currents GER
tainly has practical value.
While all this care is being taken with
regard to the ocean, the more complex and
important subject of the atmosphere is
not receiving proper attention. As the
centers of storms which assail this coast
and have an important bearing both on
navigation and agriculture originate in
the Pacific, where it is impossible to Sc
cure data of their origin, character aud
direction, it is clearly more important to
extend facilities for studying our meteor
ology than to study ocean currents and
deep-sea monsters.
The officer in charge of the San Fran
cisco observing station is insisting on the
establishment of station on Mount Tam
alpais or some other convenient high sta
ton for employing kites to study the con-
ditions existing in the upper air. The
idea is perfectly reasonable. That a
knowledge of these upper strata might
prove exceedingly useful is certainly plaus-
ible. Without some intelligent expansion
of our present crude, restricted and made
quate means the present expenditures for
the maintenance of the local weather serv-
ice are not as fully justified by the results
as they would be if available means for
improving the service were employed.

A MONUMENT TO sLOAT.

The bill introduced into the United
States Senate by Senator Perkins making
an appropriation of $4,000 for the purpose
of erecting monument at Monterey to
Commodore Sloat is one that should re-
ceive the unanimous support of that body.
The bill is in the form of those OF similar
nature which have readily been passed by
both houses of Congress. and there is
nothing in it, therefore, that can be OBJ
jectionable to any one.
The monument to Sloat would be yir-
tually monument to commemorate the
hosting of the United States flag over Cal
ifornia, and that event is certainly worthy
of monumental commemoration. 1t is
one of the great historic incidents in the
career of the Nation, and the officer who
had the good fortune to be in command at
