The Great Seal Of England.
The seal consists of a large mass Of
sterling silver, measuring about 6R
inches in diameter by IL inches in
depth or thickness. 1t is in two parts,

A BOOK ABOUT CALIFORNIA.

One of the most attractive railroad
books ever published has just been is
sued by the passenger department of the
Burlington Route.
It's title is "California.
1t contains 70 pages and the illustra-
tions, of which there are 81, are of the
most notable scenes in the land of sun
shine, fruits and flowers.
One chapter of the book treats of the
climate of California another of Mon
terey q third of Yosemite Valley. San
Francisco receives attention to the ex-
tent of six very interesting pages. Pas
adena, Santa Catalina Island, Coronado
Beach, and dozen other Southern Cal
ifornia resorts, are described in most
entertaining manner.
Under the caption: "How to Get to
California" the reader is given a great
deal of valuable information about the
various routes to and from the Pacific
