Last year DIR. Abbott of Philadelphia
published some researches which tended
to show that microbes which do not ac-

proved fatal to animals under influence
of alcohol. A French investigator has
gone a step further, and has succeeded in
demonstrating on irrefragable evidence
that alcohol not only destroys what we
may call natural immunity, but tends to
prevent the acquisition of the immunity
conferred by the various serums.
Some time ago attention was called to
the fact that the Western Union Tele-
graph company was using copper wire
exclusively on new construction and
renewals on it's principal lines. The
company has recently completed line
of copper wire from New York to San
Francisco, the longest heavy copper
wire for telegraphy in the world. This
wire is strung between San Francisco
and Ogden along the Southern Pacific
and from Ogden to Omaha along the
Union Pacific.

The open forge of a blacksmith is

thus the heat is reflected back from the

ESCONDlDO VALLEY

The Escondido valley in which is situ-
ated the flourishing little metropolis,
the city of Esconddo, is without doubt
one of the gems of the innumerable
pretty and fertile valleys of Southern
California. Escondido is 100 miles south
of Los Angeles, and thirteen miles from
the ocean, and is reached by branch
of the Southern California railroad di-
verging from the main line at Ocean
side with it's terminus at Escondido.
The valley comprises some $4,000 acres
of as fine fruit and alfalfa lands as are
to be found in any section of this great
and prolific state, and its products are as
varied as those of any locality on the
North American continent.
The chief products of the county are
lemons, oranges and all other varieties
of fruits and honey, grain and wine.
That this valley is admirably adapted
to the growth of citrus fruits is empka =

far more red rays than the other, and
that fog permits the passage of red rays
to the exclusion of the blue is evident
from the deep red color which the sun
assumes when seen through mist.
The celluloid films used in the vera
scope and vitascope may be the source
of extreme danger if not carefully
guarded. Celluloid is extremely explo-
sive and inflammable, and a spark may
set it off with most terrific results. 1t
would seem that some other material
should be chosen for all purposes where
intense light and heat are employed.
Even the harmless looking dressing comb
may endanger life if, while my lady is
making her toilet, she brings it too near
the light. In many homes celluloid ar
ticles are strictly prohibited for this rea-
son. Especially should this be noted
where there are children who cannot un-
derstand the necessity for extreme pru-
dence.
Fluids will boil from the heat of the
hand if the pressure is sufficiently re-
duced, says Prof. Gray in the Chicago
Times Herald On the other hand, il
the pressure is more than one atmos-
phere, water will not boil at 212 degrees,
but will require higher temperature.
If we put water into a strong bottle with
large mouth and boil it over a spirit
lamp at sea level it will boil at 212 de-
grees. Now cork the bottle and it will
soon stop boiling on account of the ad-
ditional pressure caused by the steam
in the space above the water. The press
ure is now more than one atmosphere.
But if the heat is kept up it will reach
point where the tension of the vapor
will overcome the resistance of the
cork and the cork will fly out. What
takes place? The pressure on the water
Immediately drops to one atmosphere.
The water is heated much above the
boiling point at one atmosphere press
ure, therefore as soon as the pressure is
taken off by the cork flying out the
water all bursts suddenly into steam.

lands being perfectly adapted to the
growth of small grain Honey is also
a large factor in the prosperity of the
surrounding country, San Diego county
being the banner honey county of the
United States, while the Esconddo re-
gion is recognized as the leading honey
producing section of the county.
That the valley contains 1900 acres
of land does not mean that that is all
the available land for fruit growing
dairying and general farming that exists
in this section of the county. Escondido
is but a small fractional part of the
excellent territory of which she stands
the trade center without a rival from
San Diego city on the south to Santa
Ana on the north. Five miles east of Es :
condido lies the far-famed valley of San
Pasqual, noted for it's large dairying and
farming industries. Above San Pasqual,
and thirteen miles from Escondido. lies

furnished to the user at price equally
low, if not lower, than the most fa-
vored sections in Southern California.
This advantage, coupled with lands at
from $50 to $65 per acre, offers one of
the best inducements to home seekers in
Southern California. All branches of
business are represented here except the
saloon. Some of our business houses
carry stocks valued at $4,000 and up
wards. The city has fine church build
ings, four school buildings, one costing
SAC, 900 and another $4,000, and a $4,000
hotel.
The magnitude of the business carried
on here can best be judged by copy Of
the annual report of business transacted
by the railway company at this place,
which is as follows:

sized at this time by the fact that hav-
ing just passed through one of the cold
est winters in the history of Southern
California not one of our numerous or
ange or lemon groves show the least
effect of frost, nor have they done so in
past years, when our neighbors have
been more or less damaged by freezing
weather. This is accounted for by the
favorable location, the valley being sur
rounded on all sides by a low mountain
Gus range that breaks the sweep of the
wind and protects our orchards from
the blasts of cold that would otherwise
do great damage. Besides the fruit in
dustry, Escondido is fast coming to the
front as dairyipg community, and al
falfa is being largely sown on the lower
lands for food for dairy stock Grain
raising has long been a leading industry
of this entire section, the hills and mesa

the Santa Maria valley with 100, 600 acres
of fine lands that produce immense
quantities of stock, grain and fruit,
among which the famous mountain ap-
pies of San Diego county are to be men
toned. To the northeast and north lie
the Guejito and Bear valleys with their
thousands of acres of choice lands the
products of which find their way to mar
ket through the warehouses of Escon-
dido. San Marcos, Buena and Vesta to
the west, and the Bernardo and Ponay
valleys to the south, each as fertile and
beautiful as the others, show that the
city of Escondido commands the trade of
large and growing country.

I. T. Powell.

From The Prentiss Plaindealer, Bonneville, Miss,
Oct 20, 1898.
Died on the 10th inst, at his
home in East Bonneville, Mr.: 1. T.
Powell, in the seth year of his age.
He was afflicted with a carbuncle
on his mouth. He was confined to
his room only a few days before
his death; there was no particular
expectation of dissolution until a
few days prior to his death.
Mr.. Powell has been a citizen of
Prentiss County for more than a
quarter of century, coming here
from Hardeman County, Tennessee,
when he was a young man. He
married the daughter of the late
John Donaldson. He leaves a wife
and three children. He was a man
that had a great many friends. One
only had to look into the face of
the large concourse of relatives,
friends aud acquaintances who were
in attendance on the last sad rites
incidental to placing his remains in
the grave, to be conscious of the
high estimation in which he was
held He was gallant exConfed-
crate soldier and fought through
out the war as a private in Ten
nessee regiment. The deceased was
a very active man and was contin-
ually on the move looking after his
affairs He was a member of the
Osborne Greek Baptist Church and
was an earnest, conscientious, chris
tian gentleman, and walked up
rightly before God and his fellow
men. He was always warm friend
of the writer of this, and up to the
time of his death had continued for
years without a single interruption.
His memory will ever occupy a
warm place in our heart.
1t is the almost universal express
sion on the receipt of the news of
his decease that the community has
lost a good, useful, energetic, pro-
gress1ve man and citizen. As a
friend to the bereaved family we
tender coincidence and sympathy in
this their hour of desolation, and
we believe the whole community
will join US in sympathizing with
them.
