Orange and lemon trees require slight pro- tection during the winter for year or two, until the wood is sufficiently hardened.
 While it is popular thing for one to say that he is mot here for his health,"i it is an undisputed fact that for all pulmonary ail- ments no climate on earth is equal to South ern Arizona, and there are numbers of active industrious citizens, with but one lung, who came here years ago, expecting to live but a few weeks. But for all that, the wonderful Casa Grande valley is something better than a health resort.
 That portion of the great Casa Grande valley lying along the line of the Southern Pacific railway in the vicinity of Casa Grande and Arizola is at present, and with good reason considered one of the most desirable portions of this magTdh hcent Southern Ari- zona. Great changes have been made in the appearance of this part of the valley during the last four years. It was about that long ago that the Florence canal was completed and the work of actual improvement begun. It is useless to deny that under our present water system there is nothing like 9 sufti- cient water to irrigate this vast body of land

Melting Metals.

A note concerning the peculiar pho.
nomonon noticed in the melting of met
ais when under. extended pressure has
recently been published by H. Bischof
of Wiesbaden. When a metal is bedded
in mortar # chemically pure alumni
ium oxide, thoroughly dried and then
subjected to the necessary heat, con-
siderable retardation in melting is no.
ticed. For instance, rod of silver,
which should melt at $50 degrees F.,
when thus treated will not change its
form and melt together until 5, 730 de
grees f. Palladium, which should melt
at g. 73O degrees F., shows NC sign OF
yielding at 1900 degrees F. 1t would
seem that these rods of metal, unable tc
expand while in the powerful grip OF
the aluminium oxide, which contracts
ON heating, simply cannot melt as they
would under normal conditions

BETRAYED BY FLAPJACkS.
A Waiter Who Can Tell Mans Occu-
patton by the Way He Eats.


patton by the Way He Eats.
There is waiter in Dearborn street
restaurant who has discovered the sci
ence of reading mans occupation by
his manner Of eating. He can look into
the calm eye of a customer engaged in
disarticulating cham and" and de-
termine with wonderful accuracy
whether the man is scissors grinder or
State street merchant.
Of course one must be close observer
to do all this, and it isn't everybody
that is afforded a lunch counter for a
field of study. Yet if the student will
avail himself of opportunities while
seated at the mahogany board he will
find that when the business man is at
the table some habit acquired i'll the
daily pursuance of his profession will
be sure to show itself.
For an instance, the banker may come
in and order wheat cakes. If he does,
the waiter declares he will invariabl
dip his fingers in the water and run
over the cakes to see if there is mis-
count.
The gambler will look around to see
if any one is watching and then palm a
slice of bread. If he orders fapjacks, he
is sure to slip them one by one from the
bottom as he cats them. The clothing
salesman will hold his flapjacks up to
the light and feel the texture, while the
keen observer will notice that the jew
eler, upon ordering pie, will hold it to
his ear, shake it and then listen, after
which he will lift off the top crust with
the point Of his knife aud examine the
insides.
During an interview tho other day
the waiter stated that he called his new
science "eatistry.'
II have not mastered my science
yet" said he, "and seldom day passes
but that l learn some new point. Oh,
it's a great study, and l think in time
it will take its place along with palm
istry and chronology and other kindred
sciences.

Fabulous Tale of the Costly Gems In the
Peacock Throne Room.
Who has not heard of the Persian,
Jewels-their glory, their number,
their priceless worth? When the doors
were unlocked and was taken into the
peacock throne room, l found myself
surrounded by mass of wealth I'M
equaled in the world. Nowhere are such
treasures, but nowhere also is there
such an accumulation of rubbish.
will, however, dismiss the rubbish and
refer only to the treasures. Down each
side of the room were chairs entirely
covered with sheeted gold, and at inter-
walls were tables of gold, nailed, 1 shud-
dered to note, with the commonest of
black headed tacks.
AT the far end of the room was the
wonder Of the world, the peacock
throne. Whether 1t is one of the seven
thrones of the great mogul and was
brought from Delhi don't know, but
1t is certainly the most costly ornament
that the eye Of man can look upon.

is between e2, 100000 and 5000, 900.
But, though the peacock throne is
the magnum opus of the Persian crown

magnificence of the other treasures.
Who can attempt, however, to recount
the number Of bejeweled arms, the roy.

 Recent events have caused the suspicion to arise that Spain is not dealing frankly with the United States government. and administra. tion officials are far from confident that real peace has been secured. Indeed, if we may accept the state ment of the Chicago Inter-O Ocean S special correspondent at Washing ton. The president has told some of his congressional callers in the last few days that, with such con dltion, and with the uncetanity of the Spanish character, he is not lustiled in assuming that the war IS over and mastering out of volun- teers. He has stated to some of these callers just what Gen. Wheel CT has stated in public interview that the war Is not over, but is likely to be resumed in a few months unless the Spanish politicians in the cortes show better disposition toward permanent peace by pro yiding for the release of territory as agreed upon i'll the terms of peace
 At least one of the peace con- mlssloners shares this suspicion and doubts the ability of the two com missions to agree upon any prop osition concerning the Philippines. The American commissioners will

It is therefore feared that the nego- tiations of the peace commissioners will be long drawr out and finally come to naught, unless the president stands ready to break off the nego- tiations and resume hostihties.
 "This IS the reason why President Mckinley does not intend to muster out the whole volunteer army He has no desire to resume the WAT and renew the sacrifices of blood and treasure, but he intends to have peace definite and final, within a few months if he has to fight for it and again order the army and navy into active service.
