Coyote FarmIne In californ,a.

In many portions of California the coy
ote Is troublesome beast and plays havoc
with domestic animals. Though it is to
the interest of tho granger to annihilate
tho prowling varmints, and the state has
for several years expended about 5000, 900
per year for scalps, coyotes are moro nu-
merous now than ever. At first the bounty
was 81 per scalp for slain coyotes, but the
politicians finally got tho figure raised TO
So. At once the grangers saw that raising
infant coyotes was to become profitable
industry and set about encouraging their
propagation. Recent Investigations show
That regular coyote farms were established,
and tho "honest grangers' did such n
thriving business that their other crops
languishcd. III tho course of a Legislative
investigation recently it was shown that
in one county where 4 1000 scalps had been
turned in during the year more than three
fourths of them were fraudulent, it being
proved that four or five scalps woro made
from each coyote skin; also that some of
the scalps wcro those OF foxes and wolves.
The town officials never having seen either
of these animals, the deception was an easy
matter, for the coyote bears u strong re-
semblance to both of them.

Fireproof Buildings.

Reviewing the various attempts which
have been made in the past to realize an
adequate method of freproof construction,
writer in The Engineering Magazine de-
clares that SO inefficient in results have
been these attempts that very few of the SO
called freproof buildings erected prior to
1890 ara actually freproof. On the con-
trary, he asserts that, while in many cases
suitable materials have been employed in
these buildings, they have not been suit
ably adapted or disposed. Insignificant
fires in such buildings have resulted most
disastrously and in some cases have utterly
wrecked the buildings. Careful investiga-
tions, however, of the physical properties
of structural iron and steel when subjected
to heat, and close observation of the effects
of fire and water on different materials
have within comparatively short time, it
is admitted, developed efficient and eco
nomical methods of freproofng. Further,
the constant and increasing demand for
freproof buildings has resulted in the de-
velopment of nearly so different systems of
such construction, designed to serve the
purpose of the clay products, at reduced
cost, some of which, based upon correct
mechanical principles and contemplating
the use Of none but suitable materials, I'M
questionably produce freproof buildings in
the broad sense in which the term is now
used

A DIAMOND JUBILEE.
TO CELEBRATE THE sIXTIETH YEAR
OF WCTORIA's REIGN.

John Bull Preparing Memorable Eete
For One of the Most Noteworthy An
niversaries In English History - The
Royal Procession.
In June Queen Victoria completes the
sixtieth year of her reign, thus breaking the
records made by a long line of British rul-
ers. No other English sovereign has ever
sat on the throne for threescore years,
and Englishnen are very proud of the fact
that they live in the Victorian era.
As rule John Bull does not go much
on public fetes. He has been accustomed
to celebrate his ''bank 'o1idays' and ex-
traordinary festal occasions in an individ-
ua1 manner rather than collectively. But
the magnitude of this event demands
something different so he is going to have
a huge family party in London town.
There will be in attendance not only as
many Inhabitants of the eight little isle''
as can get to the metropolis, but hordes
of loyal subjects from Victoria's world
scattered colonies From sun baked India,
from Australia, from South Africa, from
British North America, they will come,
crowding the ocean steamers of half the
lines of all the globe.
Foreigners are to be officially ignored,
for this affair is to be purely British. But
the majority of Londoners would be
nightly disappointed if the foreingers
should stay away, for this "nation of shop
keepers while it is going to make big
display of its loyalty to g 'er groicious mai
esty,'' is at the same time going to keep a
most careful eye the ninble shilling.
London's hotel accommodations are notori-
ously inadequate on all unusual occasions,
and they will fall so far short of meeting
the tremendous demand which will be
made on them this June that the landlords
are calmly putting up their prices to with
in an ace of the prohibitive limit. Lon
don's thousands of lodging housekeepers,
too, have caught the fever, and the prices
which they will ask during jubilee week
will fairly staggcr the tourist, forewarned
though he be.
Five days of the week of celebration will
be devoted to the nobility. There will be
