ifornia promises to become one of
the chief pursuits. We have a
good many hare lovers in this city
who might adopt the vocation as
related below taken from our ex-
changes:
From being the trivial fad of a
few hare raising and hare selling
seem suddenly to have become the
pursuit of thousands. Prices
have advanced in a way to remind
one of the figures once paid for
tulips in Holland. ure-blooded
buck hares are selling at from $500
to $500 each. Numerous stud
concerns have been established,
with charge of from $3 to $25
fer 'tservice.' The newspapers
are freighted with such masses of
advertisements concerning hares
and rabbitries as nearly eclipse
those of all other lines of business
combined. The Los Angeles
Times of last Saturday contains.
for instance, seventeen columns OF
such advertisements. Its issue OF
the previous Sunday had also a
noteworthy display of the same
sort.
"What are they good for?'' is
the first question asked by the ig-
norant aud unenthusiastic person
this side O. the Rockies, as he
hears O: the absorption Of tbs CAL
iiornians in this new fad-or fever
and the Los Angeles paper put
the case:
AS an article of diet the hare
has advantages as yet slightly
understood in this country, The
flavor of the meat is delicious, ia,
finer than that of the best poultry
obtainable here. All of the flesh
is eatable, 50 that there is abso-
lutely no waste after the animal
has been properly dressed. From
dietetic point of view the flesh
of the hare is invaluable. It lacks
the heavy, oily substances found
in ducks, chickens and turkeys:
The flesh, therefore, while very
nourishing, produces no inAam-
nation, and may be taken with re-
lish and profit by any invalid. 1t
has none of the strong, gamy fla
vor found in the wild rabbit, and
is therefore acceptable to the
to the weakest stomach.
The Belgian hare will dress a
pouud for every month of it's age
up to six or seven months. He is
good for food from about the
tenth week Of his existence. The
fifth month is about the profitable
age to kill, If intended for the
market. He will sell for 20, cents
per pound, dressed weight, which
is the regular market price of
turkeys. .....,~ i.
No domesticated 8 animal can
compare in the relative value of
its products, as compared with
cost Of food and care, with the
hare. A small rabbitry to provide
food and pin money for family
may be established on the rear of
any city lot From 9 beginning
Of five does and 9 buck it is safe
to say that 300 hares can be raised
per year, and the original stock

Some interesting speculations con-
corning the age Of the Niagara gorge
are reported by Nature. This was the
subject Of Il paper by Prof. &. Fred
cTick Wright, read at the Boston meet
ing OF the American association. The
late DR.. james Hall early noted the
.igniiicnnt fact that "the outlet OF the
rhasm below NIAGARA falls is scarcely
wider than elsewhere along lis course"
/ his is important evidence Of the late
gate OF lis origin and il has been used
IN support of the short estimates which
ha'e n"rh made concerning the length
OF 'Iiht separating us from the glacial
period. y close examination made by
Prof. Wright last summer greatly
strengthens the force Of the argument.
since he found thar the disinicgrating
'orces tending 10 enlarge the outlines
AND give ii V-shape are more ra Did
than has been supposed. As the result
OF his Investigations he concludes that
u conservative estimate Of the rate of
disindegration for the 20 feet of Nj
ngnra shales supporting the niagara
limestone would be one inch n wear,
With probable rate OF two inches q
year. But at the lowest estimate no
more than $4,000 gears would be re-
CURED for the enlargement OF the up
per part OF the mouth Of the gorge,
1000 feet, ON each side. which Is very

OF enlargement. Some Of the recent
estimates, therefore. which would
mako the gorge from 10000 10 40, 900

according to Rrof. Wright the age of

AGUINALDO'S CONGRESS-.
1t Meets and Plans to Tax Chinese in the
Islands,

Manila, September S.-A Filipino who
arrived here from Tarlac says that an
extraordinary session of the revolution
ary congress took place at Tarlac Au-
gust "a. Aguinaldo presided, and chose
Mabini president of the supreme court
and Gonzaga attorney general. They
both represent the most conservative
and temperate element. Mabini, who
recently resigned the foreign secretary
ship is the abest man connected with
the revolution. Gonzaga was president
of the last peace commission. The pro-
ceedings of the congress disapproved of
the report that Aguinaldo declared him
self dictator. A decree has been issued
by the Filpinos compelling the regis
tration Of all foreigners in Filipino ter
ritory. The Chinese, who are a. large
fraction of the population, are consad-
cred as foreigners, including those born
in the Philippine islands. Application
must be made on the stamped paper
which figures largely in all business of
the insurrectionary government. This
seems to be largely a scheme to tax
Cinnamon.

SANTO DOMINGO POLITICS.
There Is Nota Very Smooth Prospect fol
Jiminez.

Kingston, Jamaica, September s.
Dominion mail advices just received
here say that an apparently enthusi-
astic and ostensibly national demon
stration prepared in Santo Domingo for
Juan Isidro Jiminez, leader Of the sue
cessful revolution in that country, by
General Imber and the leaders of Jimi-
nez's immediate political faction, is not
altogether representative of the real
popular sentiment. 1t is now. beginning
to appear that while the whole nation
accepted the revolution on a tacit un
derstanding that the intolerable incu.
bus Of party politics would be perma-
nently removed by securing an Amer
lean protectorate, Jiminez's party were
finally working for his personal inter
ests, to the establishment Of which they
now propose utilizing the victory il they
can compass his constitutional action.
In spite Of the growing popularity Of
General Horacio Vasquez, the provi-
sional vice president, who is the real
leader OF the revolution and the real
hero Of the hour, advices add that un-
less the person elected either adopts
the popular aspirations, or as an alter
native succeeds in giving the country
an administration combining sovereign
independence with THAT of financial sta
bility. industrial progress and complete
internal political freedom, to which it
has SO long been a stranger, and which
the people are fully determined to Sc
cure at any cost, bloodshed or even par
tial surrender Of sovereignty, another
revolution is sure to follow. In conclu-
sion, the advices say that the foceign
interests Of Santa Domingo are watch
ing developments with the keenest
anxiety.
