A new COUNTY JAIL
CONTEMPLATED BY THE BOARD

Reasons Urged OF Its Erection-The

A rumor is rife that the building COM
mittee of the county board of supervisors,
consisting of Messrs. R. E. Wirsching, e.
s. Field and A. E. Davis, have under cor
sideration the building of a new county Jail
on the piece of land owned by the county
on the corner of Temple and Buena Vista
streets. For some time 1t has been contend
ed that the present quarters provided for
the retention of county prisoners are In

when $50 or more prisoners are taken care
of in space intended for less than 1OO At
the last session of the grand jury the SUBJ

been seriously considering the advisablity
of turning the present jail into a hall of
records, as the business of the latter insti-
tuition has also outgrown its allotted space
in the county courthouse. The sanitary
condition Of the county Jail has also been
urged as a strong reason in favor of a new
building. None of the supervisors seen last
night cared to confirm the report.

sists of Johnny Wray and the Pasadena

a great deal on the support of the orange
growers. for he was supposed to have done
some service in advocating and pushing

politics, but most Republicans who wish to
succeed would prefer to have the debon-
nair Arnold pull their wires.

of the blow, the hope that he would
break down any barrier, leap any OBJ
stacle which might prevent his claim
ing her for his own. But since the few
brief hours they had spent together,
when he had won her promise, he had
vanished. Not even Mays wiles could
draw him to her side since he had dis

she could but feel thrill Of pity at her
heart, pity which made her plead his
cause when the sad truth was unfoldetl
the truth that to save him her own
father had assumed his crime, the
forgery of note. True to a promise

Hawaiian Mineral Hair.

One of the most singular products Of
Hawaii is vitreous lava known as
"Peles hair" 1t is a silky, filamen-
tous substance, olive green or yellow
ish brown in color, soft to the touch,
but very brittle. 1t is produced by the
wind catching the fiery spray thrown
up from the great crater Kilauea
(which the Hawaiians long since per-
sonified as the fire goddess Pele), but
the real cause of the lava forming into
such soft, silky fibcrs is believed TO be
the gas and steam escaping through
the lava. Nearly all of the native
birds of Hawaii use it as nest build
ing material.

Value Of a Speciality.

A youth took, as he expressed it,
ihe notion into his head to investigate
the peculiarities of certain plant.
Not very much was known of it save
that it was thought to have possibili-
ties as commercial product for future
use. He studied and read about it,
cultivated it, and, according to his
friends and playmates, wasted lot Of
valuable time on it.
After a time public attention was
turned to this plant. No one seemed
to know very much about it. When
it was reported to the commissioner
whose business it was to make scien-
tifc experiments with it, that there
was young man, little more than
lad, who had paid some attention to
it, the boy was sent for and catechised
as to his information on the subject
SO extensive was his knowledge of
this new product that he was appointed
to go abroad with the commission and
study the plant upon its native soil.
Here was the moment, and the man
was ready. This is the history Of
many Of the brightest and most sue
cessful men Of our time. They did
not know at what moment certain facts
might be required, but they had care
fully stored away such knowledge as
was likely to be Of use to the world at
some future day.-New York Ledger.

Valuable Spruce.

Spruce is not commonly accounted
a costly wood, but some OF it may be
very valuable. Spruce is largely used
for the tops of stringed musical iustru-
ments, such as guitars and mandolins,
the finer grained being the more de-
sirable. The value of rosewood de-
pends upon its color and quality. II
ranges in price from a cent and q
quarter to ten cents a pound. Thirty
grain Adirondack spruce would be
worth more than the finest rosewood.
