 There are two varieties of the aigrette, the long and the short, and their value. is in inverse proportion to their size. The short variety, which is obtained from a smaller bird, is ex- tremely delicate and fine, and is worth from $22 to $25 an ounce. Only a few feathers on each bird are valuable, and it is estimated that fifty or sixty birds would have to be killed to obtain an ounce of the shorter aigrette.. The long aigrette is worth not much more than half as much.
 These feathers are looked after as carefully by the appraisers as are precious stones. They are imported in soldered tin boxes, and are locked up and guarded until they are examined They are invoiced in the Brazilian unit of value, reis, which is very small, so that figures giving the values of the imports are often startlingly large. One importation of these feathers was recently invoiced to the value of 5,2S3, 500 reis, an amout which in American gold is equal to about $10o.- New York Mail and Express.

 What Coney Island is to New York, Santa Monica is to Los Angeles-the natural place of resort that its people can reach with little effort and at small cost, and having reached, can find adequate provision for their enjoyment in almost every variety conceived by man.
 A finer building site for town could not be imagined. With enough grade to make storm drainage easy and complete, the land slopes to it's terminating point the edge of the bluff hundred feet above the sea.
 Looking from the bluff the view is su- perb In the north he foothills-the Santa Lucia range-make an effective background. gradually sloping into Point Duma, which constitutes the northwest ern boundary of the bay.
 On the other hand, the beautiful curve ends in Point Vincent. To the west of Point Vincent lies Catalina Island, usual ly clear and distinct. Occasionally, how ever, the sea mist or haze or setting sun, and possibly a combination of these causes, bring about a transformation and you seem to see a castle with rampant and turrets.
 On exceptionally clear days glimpses can be had of Santa Barbara Island, sixty miles away.
 The first sale of lots in Santa Monica was made in 1875, and while the city's growth has always been steady, the past few years has seen material progress. Now the population numbers 3500 which in the summer season increases to 5000 or 10000
 In 1886 the Arcade Hotel was built. and since that time several hotels of smaller size. with numerous handsome boarding houses, have asked their share of public patronage, sure of being filled during the summer, and. besides this, Santa Mon lea has her friends among the Eastern tourists: and increasing numbers of them are coming every year to spend the winter here, where they can write back to their Snowoound friends startling reports of gathering flowers, eating strawberries, and bathing daily in the Pacific Ocean " ten degrees during the year and bath ing in the surf is a popular diversion every month in the year.

 The summer season brings an influx of visitors from all over this State, with a large contingent from Arizona and New Mexico, and then the days are scarcely long enough for the gayeties planned Besides the usual routine of bathing, dancing. driving and other everyday di- versions, the summer brings a regular programme of sports. Chief and usually first among them comes the annual tennis tournament which always brings a crowd of it's devotees and arouses much local pride and enthusiasm, for Santa Monica has always produced a champion or two to uphold her honor in this popular game.
