the beach near Cypress Point, In Moo.
terey county. The place belongs to .

Ia partly natural aud partly the work
Of his own hands. NH
The natural portion Of the structure
Is a small cave In one Of the many
rocks that stick up all over the beach.
The remaining part Is sort OF wooden
shed that has been built In front Of
the opening. The lumber used 10 Of
the roughest kind, but the aesthetic
Chinaman 0verc0mes this objection BY
covering the whole outside with aba.
lone shells, the hollow side being
turned out.
The Chlnaman evidently did that
many years ago. when the shells were
plentiful. and had scarcely any marke,
value.
Some of the shells are magnificen,
In color and enormous In size. There
= one at least fifteen inches wide,
which. II not destroyed, would bring
5000 In San Francisco. They have
all been spoiled by the nails which the
builder sent home to keep the shella
In position. Were 1t not for thar, the
outside Of the house would bring q
small fortune. The smaller ones would
easily bring ~ apiece. and there are
many among them that would brinl
far more.

agree, the one prescribing exactly an op-
posite course from that ordered by all.
other, but not every one has had an op-
portunity to conduct such an experiment.
as was made by the late Baron Lutz,
formerly prime minister of Bavaria.
The baron was once severely wounded
in battle in both legs The wound in
one leg was much like that in the other.
1t struck him that there was a chance
to study the ways Of the surgical pro-
fession and beguile the long hours of his
convalescence. He accordingly called in
one doctor and gave him charge Of his
right leg, but told him nothing about
the wound in the other, and then called
in another doctor for his left leg, keep
ing him similarly in ignorance about
the wounded right leg.
The doctors adopted very different
method OF treatment, but both wounds
healed at about the same time. When
the baron's legs were quite we'll, he de-
rived great deal Of amusement from
getting the doctors together and mysti-
flying them with questions about the
way each had treated This leg. At
