AVALON, June T.-(Regular Core
spondence) Mexican Joe states that in all
his experience of Catalina seasons he has
never known the bay to be SO full of big
fish aching to be caught so early in the
summer as 1t is this year. The catches are
almost incredible to one who has not had
a chance to prove how prolific the waters
are. Yesterday morning Capt Wiley,
who has trawl set in the bay. pulled in
eighteen yellowtail and seven rock bass on
the first haul.
F. L. Hossack of Los Angeles caught
seven large yellowtail from a skiff in less
than an hours fishing.
| Just as the Falcon left the wharf yes
terday morning a school of yellowtail at
least 150 in number were chasing the sar-
dimes almost onto the beach in order to
satisfy their appetites for breakfast. They
presented very pretty sight in the clear
waters of the bay to the onlookers from
| the wharf.
Everyone was successful in catching
fish. Capt. Jack Williams caught so many
that he commenced to throw them back
into the water SO as to give them a chance
to hook themselves again.
Frank v. Rider and Henry Newby OF
Pasadena had another days successful
fishing with rod and reel under the guild
ance of Jim Gardner.
The power yachts were all kept busy yes

spondence.) The Science club held most
interesting meeting last evening. l.. Toll
man, who is doing graduate work in the
institution read paper on 1.-The Origin Of
Our Soil" Mr.. Tolman not only explained
the character of our Claremont soils, but
described in detail just how in the long
past they were washed from the Rocky
mountains into the western ocean, solidi-
fled into rock and then upheaved again as
mountains. Later, these mountains were
washed away and the depositions from this
wash produced the soils as we find them
today. Mr.. Tolman showed how. from
the very makeup of our soils. they must
be of exceeding richness. Miss Jessie
Mills spoke of cryptogamous plants and
described the several families, illustrating
her talk by magnificent collection of
these fiowerless plants which have just
been donated to the college museum by
Mrs. Weeks of Pacific Grove. The collec-
ton consists of plants from all parts of
the world. There are large number of
ferns, Filices-and still more Thallophytes,
representing almst every part of the
world. Paul Harwood gave practical
paper on locusts. Miss Ward on scale in

curious structural peculiarities in the
skeleton of an ostrich, fine specimen of

Mr.. Illingworth exhibited a gopher snake,
which he succeeds in inducing to take his

drew long breath of pity at the an
nouncement of this three weeks, but felt
better when it was explained that it took
the snake fully that length of time to make
way, through the slow process of diges-
ton, with one of these little mammals
The gophers are really nuisance and no
one should ever destroy gopher snake.
