Governor will attempt TO overturn
completely much in the business, indus

No one expects the Governor is go

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Dec. IL
Easton, Eldridge & Co., the well-known
real estate firm, announce the final

bonds closing this transaction. The
debentures are issued in two series,
"A" and "B," and, with interest cou-
pOns, are payable at stated periods at
the office of the Anglo-California
Bank in San Francisco or at their Lon
don Office at the option of the holder,
making these debentures negotiable pa
per in the London market.
Speaking Of the sale Maj. Easton
said: I'VE have already developed a
line of colonization work which will he

lines, with the particular interest Of
Southern California in view. We are
interesting a number of Eastern rail
road officials in the work, and while
not exactly taking up the work of
transportation as a business, propose
to do our share toward a legitimate
colonization work in this part of the
State. We have added to our force
by bringing from Oregon George J.
FarnswoTth, who was formerly in
charge of immigra on work in that
State, and brought about successful
colonization movements there, and
have placed him in charge of this par
ticular branch of the work.
we shall, of course, seek particu-

disease.
Two ounces of the following mixture
should be given to each animal affect
ed, two or three times a day, accord
ing to the severity of the attack: Nit
rate of potash, 3 ounces; chlorate of
potash, l ounce; fluid extract of gen
tan 3 ounces; spirits of ether nitrate,
4 ounces; water sufficient to make l
pint. Dose, 2 ounces. If there is any
marked increase in the breathing,
showing that the lungs are at all in
volved, add to the mixture, for the
first half dozen times, one-halt of 1
dram Of fluid extract digitalis to each
dose.
Little or nothing should be done to
the swelled legs, except if they become
very painful they can be rubbed with
Ponds Extract and dry flannel ban
dages applied. If the weather is fine
in the daytime, after the fever has
abated somewhat, the animal can 1a
allowed to be in the corral for few
hours. Ii the nights are cold, they
should be blanketed and legs bandaged.
When all the fever has subsidized and
the temperature down to about 101
degrees, the medicine should be dis
continued and a teaspoonful once or
twice a day of powdered sulphate of
iron to be given in the food for a week
or two. If any alterations have Oc-
Cured in the leg, it is advisable to add
for one week two drains twice day in

EPIZOOTIC EPIDEMIC.
Suggestions for Treating Prevail

Suggestions for Treating Prevail
ing Distemper Among Horses.
The epidemic among the horses
seems to be in the air since reports
from the States tell of it's prevalence
in many districts. DR.. G. Gresswell
gives in the Rural World few sugges-
tions on the treatment of the epizootic
epidemic which may prove valuable to
the horse owners here:
This disease has been exceptionally
prevalent this year, and is one of the
numerous forms of epiZoOtic influenza
which periodically affects horses in
this country. Its symptoms vary with
the case and with the varied conditions
of the atmosphere and local conditions
generally. In all outbreaks it is char
acterized by a high fever at the onset,
and other symptoms depend upon the
particular organ or organs which Will
become congeSted as result OF the fe-
YER While special cases require spec.
iaI treatment, yet the following gen
eral principles, faithfully carried out
will cure the majority of animals which
are susceptible of being cured. Out of
any outbreak a certain percentage of
cases will prove fatal, but such fatal
cases are almost wholly confined to:
/. Animals which are kept at work
during the first stages of the disease,
when no other symptom is present, but
a high fever, accompanied with more
or less loss of appetite. 1t is in this
stage when the quickest and most sue
cessful results can be obtained, but it
often happens that the amount of fever
can only be estimated by the use of
clinical thermometer. horses nat
uraI temperature is from 100 degrees
Fahrenheit to 105 Fahrenheit. When
an outbreak occurs among a lot of
working horses the temperature of all
the animals should be taken once
day, and upon showing a higher tenn
perature than 100 degrees, the animal
should at once be taken off work, put
on loose diet and treated incidentally
as follows: Any case in this stage of
the disease is comparatively easy to
handle.
?. When the animals are too crowd
ed and the general sanitary conditions
of the stables are bad or defective;
where lowering treatment, such as pur-
gatives, have been used and where the
animal is especially susceptible to a
malignant form of disease which is
often the case among mules. treatment
consists in absolute rest and freedom
from work of any description as long
as the fever lasts. The food should
consist of sloppy bran mashes, with a
very small quantity OF oats. No corn /
or other grain, but a fair amount of !
spoonful to each animal may be given /

The speaker brought the essen
tails with greater prominence by
first mentioning some non-essen-

his chart, on which he had the
conversions recorded in the bible,
and from this he demonstrated the
fact that the same course was tol-

what brought a man into the king

would do the same now and, that

in Science" of January 31st
stamps the discovery as a genuine
one, though the methods and re-
suits described in the newspapers,
notably in the ADVERTISER of the
14th, are not strictly as authorita-
lively reported.
The facts of the case may be
briefly stated thus Within a
vacuum tube of glass, brilliantly
colored rays of electric light are
produced by an induction coil,
radiating from a cathode" or sim
gle point, and not from two cleo
trodes. When these rays pass
through the glass, they become
what are termed arrays" In the
character of these X-rays comes in
the new discovery. They will pass
throught black card board and
affect a Photographic dry plate on
the other side of the board, even at
several feet distance. So of a thick
pamphlet, or wooden board even
an inch thick. These rays will
pass through very thin metal
sheets, the thinness necessary vary
ing with the metal. Silver of the
thickness of a dime stops them.
They will pass through leather or
skin, and even through muscle OF
flesh up to certain thickness.
Now we can see how if purse
containing coin is held between the
Crookes' tube as it is called, and a
Photographic plate contained IN a
camera box-without any lens
the shadows of the coins will APP
pear on the plate as light spots
precisely as the white lines appear
on a blue print, for the reason that
the X-rays pass through the leather
of the purse but not through the
metal. Now as the rays do not
mass through the bones of the hand
on account of the mineral matter
in them, but do to a degree pass
through the skin and muscles, the
image of the hand interposed be-
tween the tube and the plate, viii
appear on the plate, with bones
white, the general contour of the
hand slightly dark, and the sur
rounding space very dark W ha'
Is obtained is therefore essentially
what is termed a print.
It is said above that Gamers
without a lens is required. The
X-ray. are not refracted by glass
lenses. and consequently ordinary
photography by this means seems
at present impossible. 1t must b
therefore that the CHASTITY portal

noted-namely. that il is not closed in

IL matters very little whether or not the

IL tho mine. succeeds in opening the
lamp, for there is a special arrangement
by means of which the fame is extip-
guishable ut the same instant. This is
explained by there being in the inte-
rior Of the lamp glass a spring which is
compressed when the upper piece il

ing Of the lamp and afterward the com.
