TO RECLAIM THE LAND.
Dikes Are Proposed in plan to
Render Submerged California
Estates Profitable.

Application of the Dutch method OF
of about $4,000 acres of low-lying
ground in the basin of the Sacramento
river, California, below the city of Sac
ramento. while work is in progress to
protect 10000 more acres from the in
cursions of the last Is or 16 years. About
100000 acres are yet to be drained in
the Sacramento bottoms and a less area
in the lowlands of the valley of the San
joaquin. Attempts at diking made over
90 years ago failed because the sur
face soils and the peat used in con-
structing the dikes could not withstand
the wearing effect of the rivers current.
Much money was wasted and the dis
heartened workers abandoned the en-
terprise. The newcomers on the ground
dug deeper than their predecessors and
found a bed of potter's clay, WHICH,
when heaped up in levees, is baked by
the sun to almost the consistency of
pottery. The accumulated water with
in the t:ikes is discharged into the river
by pumps. A system of irrigation of
the higher portion of the reclaimed
lands is provided, and the apparent con-
tradiction is presented of the draining
and the irrigation at one time of the
same body Of land. For depth of two
feet the land is mat of decayed tule
stems, and, with control Of the water,
the former swamps have been made the
most productive lands in the state.

COME HOME.

When the year is young and the green buds
shoot,
When the rose blooms radiant fair.
When the gentle winds come up from the
south,
When flowers perfume the air;
The plowman turns the furrow In glee
And the ripened seed doth fall
To glorious birth in the mother earth,
Then we hear the becEoning call
Call through The budding hazel copse
where the fearful rabbits play,
Call low and soft the voice that oft lures
loves light thoughts away.
We linger and listen but hear her still
Wherever we rove and roam,
The sad-voiced mother calling TO US:
"Come home, my children, come home"
When the years abloom and the leaf takes
A deeper, sturdier hue,
When the days are long and filled with
song
And the nights are rinsed with dew;
In the winds that ripple across the wheat,
In the blooms that dapple the lawn,
In the stars that die in the roseate sky
That ushers the radiant dawn
We hear her voice, like the matin-song of
the sweet-voiced mocking- birds,
All tremulous she calls to us, We hear her
loving words;
But we fain would lnger along the brook
And watch the scurrying foam,
While the voice still dwells in the shadowy
del.s:
Come home my children, come home"
When the year grows old and haggard and
gray,
When the sunlight dims and pales,
When Times chill breath in beautiful
death
Is clothing the hills and dales;
rv1t- .~P 1Nrfy
corn,
Ger the meadows dun and sere,
IN The rustic of sheaf and fall of leaf
In the sundown of the year
We hear her call in the harvest time and
beckon her children in
From the wheat and vine, from the sheep
and kline, from the wine press and the
bin.
Tired and weary we drop our tasks
And wander on through the gloasn
To the waiting mother who softly calls:
Come home, my children, come home"
The stars again together shall sing
And heaven and earth be one.
Night shall fade as the naples shade
Melts in the morning sun:
The flush of morn and the blush of night
Shall meet with the hush of noon;
December's snow shall drift and blow
Ger the blooming roses of June.
Then the past shall come like burdened
slave, with its heavy tale OF years.
And Time shall be with Eetrnity. with its
finished hopes and fears,
Then Death" sweet mother, shall call
US in,
When life is a finished tome,
Like bird in its nest We shall nestle and
rest
And forever be al home.

TO STOP BLEEDING.
Will BE of Value to the HUI
man Race.

One of the most difficult of surgical
problems has always been the devising
of means to stop excessive bleeding
of patients during operations. The
electric current has been used for sew
eral years, with view TO bringing
about that condition of heat which is
necessary in order to cause the blood
to clot and so act as a block to the
mouth of bleeding vessels, arresting
hemorrhage.
This, indeed, has resulted in the utili-
zation of the electric cautery, as it is
called, in certain operations, the plati-
mum wire at red or almost white heat
even suppianting the knife, because it
burns through the tissues and at the
same time prevents the wound bleed
ing to any great extent. This effect OF
heat was, indeed, known to our ances-
tors, who used redhot irons or boiling
pitch to scar the surface of the flesh
after their operations, thus causing an
immense amount of suffering to the
patient, before the days of chloro-
form.
A new adaptation of this use of cleo
tricity for the purpose of stopping
bleeding has been devised by inclosing
a platinum wire in a pair of forceps or
other instrument, the wire being in
sulated in a bed of burnt pipe clay,
and as soon as the bleeding vessel is
seized by the forceps and compressed
in the ordinary way an electric current
is turned on, whose effect is so great
that the tissues and the nails of the
blood vessels are all agglutinated. so
that the blood is no longer able to pass.

RARE OLD PLANTS.
Some That Have Disappeared for
Centuries Have Been Revived
ny Chance.

Some 25 years ago, when the scoriae
Tor slag) produced by the ancient
Greeks in working the silver mines Of
Lawimur, near Athens. was removed, in
order to be reworked by more efficient
modern appliances, the seeds of kind
of poppy of the genus Glancinon, which
had lain underneath the Stag in DOR
mant condition for at least 500 years,
sprang up again all over the uncovered
ground Unknown in modern times.
this plant was described in the first DEN
tury of our era by Dioscorides and
Pliny, and had disappeared from the
face of the globe for Is or 20 centuries.
The fact that these seeds should have
retained their vitality SO long seems
very extraordinary, but there are other
instances quite as remarkable. For in
stance, raspberry seeds found in 1895
in an ancient tumulus in "a coffin buried
30 feet below the surface, and believed
to have been there since the second cen
tury, were successfully planted. And
in another case seeds of the Poly
gonum Convolvulus. dug up from the
bottom of sand pit, where they were
believed TO have been buried for 1000
years, were still vigorous and produced
healthy plants

less desertions have taken place. On
the 22d OF June. was at HOnokaa in
vestigating the desertions and COM
plants at the plantations between
there and Hilo. During the first six
months of the year the assertions OF -
Chinese and 3SS Japanese had been re-
ported.
There were It's desertiOns from one
plantation alone. When the police
caught deserters from this plantation
they would notify the manager. but he
would tell them he did not want the
men back. This action had decidedly
bad effect and is more the reason for
the wholesale desertions throughout
the Hamakua district. The manager
said he got redress from the Immigra-
ton Company importing the men so he
did not lose anything. The manager
of the KumamOto immigration Com
pany informed me that the desertions
of Japanese brought here by his COM
pany had already been a loss TO them
OF over $1,000, and deseTtiOns were be-
ing reported by every mail. Since

MIR. DAMON'S WORDS.
The Expressions Which Probably
Caused Trouble.

The following interview. published
in an evening paper. and for which
Minister Damon is presumably re-
sponsible. was perhaps the chief cause
of the recent break in the Cabinet:
Il am in a position to state what
know are facts" said the gentleman
and believe it only right and just to
the friends of Mr.. King that the people
should be placed in a position to mead
off what | term a conspiracy. am
friendly with every member OF the Can
met. including Mr.. King, and shall do
all in my power to prevent MS snemeS
getting the inside track.
1T was not many months ago that
Mr.. King signified his intention OF re-
signing. At the request of Mr.. Dole
ne remained in the Cabinet because II
was anticipated that American laws
would soon be extended and the higher
officials would all go out together.
Now IL appears that Mr.. Kings enemies
are seeking to influence Mr.. Dole to ask
for Mr.. Kings resignation or take ac-
