A surprising discovery was made re-
Gently on the San Joaquin ranch, near
Santa Ana, by workmen engaged in
draining o section Of peat land near
the bog. It is nothing less than a sub
terranean lake of clear sulphur water,
unlike the harsh alkali water which
surrounds it, and apparently bound
less in extent. A t~wenty-foot pole
failed to reach bottom, and lateral
measurements to determine the area
OF the stream were unsuccessful. The
water is not more than three feet from
tho surface Of the ground, and is still
and quiet.
The workmen first discovered sink
hole q foot or SO in diameter, and were
removing the grass and earth from the
spot when o drive of the spade into the
hole let out terrible stream of water,
which burst upon them and continued
running for q considerable length Of
time. When it ceased the men found
that the drained area where they had
been working had sunk from six to ten
inches for many rods around. They
supposed at first that they had struck
an artesian flow, but the fact that the
water is standing perfectly still dis
proved this, and they concluded that
there must he o lake beneath the COW
ering of peat. They sounded 1t in
every direction, but could find nc
limit to the extent of the water. There
has been at times much travel over that
part Of the ranch in which the lake il
located, and it seems strange that il
should not have been discovered be.

The State of New Jersey has had
some experience with farm values, be
cause it invested some Of its Sinking
Funds in farm mortgages, The loans
averaged $4,000 to each farm and the
State has had TO become proprietor Of
considerable desirable real estate,
These farms the State rents on shares
half the crop. The State expended on
these farms last year, 81, T.57, and
received S1,613.24 an averaged profit
OF 500. a farmer writing to the Dover
Inde1 on the above facts, concludes
that ''the object lesson in which the
State gives to owners Of farm property
is that our taxes on o farm valued at
$10,0 600 should not exceed $40. This
would give the farmers half the crop
and pay taxes with no margin for emer-
gencies. 1 would suggest that the
State should own all the farms and
lease them out to the farmers for the
crop and exempt from all taxes.n

0S5 glasses Of spirits, for which he spent
$3.50.
The diary closes with these words: ~
have tried all things; I have seen many;
have accomplished nothing" A stronger
sermon could not be preached than to put
this testimony against that Of the mission
airy apostle. Paul: II have fought o good
