Biggest Grapevine I'm the World.

The mammoth grapevine growing
near Carpinteria, CAL, is the largest
in the world. The massive trunk of
the vine is seven feet eight inches in
circumference, its size and appearance
suggesting an oak rather than grape.
vine. It's branches rest on stalwart
frame, covering space one-third Of
an acre. 1t is of the Mission variety
aud produces annually about ten tons
of grapes. 1t was planted in 1912.
Beneath the thick leaves of the vine
800 persons could find protection at
the same time from the summer heat.
Thirty years ago the vine formed q
roof over so large space that it was
used as an election booth. The first
election in Santa Barbara county
under American rule was held beneath
its branches of ripening grapes.

The Japanese Navy.

Japan will before long be in posses,
sion of Il navy of quite phenomenal di.
mansions. She is building not only
more but also better ships than any
other power save England. Three
vessels of II, 800 tons, two of which
are nearly finished, are being built in
British yards; one battleship of 10, 000
tons is being built by Armstrong; four
first class armored cruisers of $500
tons, with speed of twenty knots, are
assigned to Armstrong, one to the
Vulcan company near Stettin, and one
to France; two cruisers of 500 tons,
with speed of twenty-three knots,
are ordered in the United States; one
cruiser of 1900 tons, with twenty-three
knots, and eight torpedo boat destroy
ers, with thirty knots, in England;
eight torpedo boats at Elbing, four in
France, and three cruisers of 800 tons,
with twenty knots, three torpedo boats
and a signal ship are being built in
the imperial yard at Jokosk, in Japan,
where an ironclad cruiser of 5000 tons.
with twenty knots, will soon be begun.
Japan has also ordered her torpedo
boat fotilla to be fitted out as quickly
as possible in her own yards, and is
about to form a second squadron.
1t is evident from the above that
the japanese navy will soon rank next
to that of France, and considerably
ahead of the fleets of Germany, Russia
and the United States. 1t is unnec-
essary to say that it will consist ex-
clusively of vessels Of the latest types.

put up at the Cadillac, so as to be to.

Johnson was engaged in his street

philosopher was called in to attend
him on bicycle ride. 1t was time
when bicycles were not so commonly
kept for rent as they are now, aud that
afternoon one was not to be had at
any of the stores for love or money.
The Detroit single taxer, after whirl-
ing around among the shops aud
everywhere meeting with failure, was
at his wits end to get wheel for
Henry George, and was pedaling to-
wards the Cadallic in despair, when
he met another single taxer, who was
also astride bicycle.
Jumping of the first one exclaimed:
"Here, get of that whecl--I must
have it."

Wiggins was shot in the leg, and with Hall and Pate, was taken to the hospital where Hall died little later. Mizner writes that Pate will recover
 This information coming direct from .ne field of acIion can be relied upon, and .--o report circulated around that Halls being at Key West must have referred to the Hall who enlisted from Tucson or the northern part Of the territory.

When the call came for volunteers for this regiment, Hall was one of the first to offer his services, and acted as a sort of re- cruiting officer here, and was in charge of the Bisbee contingent when it left for Whipple Barracks. From the time of his departure he has kep, tie Orb and it's readers posted .oncerning the movements O. the troops, and his interesting letters will be missed.
