The men took their time and did not

that the men had to be paid for their

One Woman's Good Work

1t is not much over twenty years
since a retired San Francisco teacher
named Miss Austin conceived the idea
that she could make the then barren
plains of Fresno blossom like q rose
and bear fruit a~bundantly. Under the
inspiration of that belief she began tho
cultivation and curing of the raisin
grape. AS a direct result of the eff
forts of that one woman Fresno coun-
ty this year has profited in one incus-
try alone to the extent of 81. 000, 900,
which is reported to be the value OF
the seasons raisin-curing there. AL
most all of the other industries which
have since been developed in Fresno
county have been the indirect out
growth of the successful experiments
made by Miss Austin in raisin-making.
One of the latest developments is the
proposed construction there Of a fruit
cannery to be the largest in the state
and to serve as a substitute for the
one now existing, which gives employ
ment to 600 persons during the
t~ruit-canning season. San Francisco

Hazardous. 1t Is Lucrative.
From the London Mail: The word
Spy" has an ugly sound owing
to it's many unpleasant associations,
yet in war times spies afford an army
aid which is as valuable as it is highly
remunerated. One of the maxims of
commanding officers, in a book for
their guidance written by Lord Wolse-
ley, is that a successful spy must be
petted and made much of. The man
agement Of spies is very difficult. Out
OF every ten employed by an officer
commanding a war district he is for
tunate if one gives him truthful in
formation. 1t is a most important
thing that spies should not be known
to each other. Great care is generally
taken by officers that each spy shall
imagine that he is the only that is EN-
ployed. 1t is very necessary that all
bona-fide spies should have about their
persons some means of proving them
selves really to be what they represent
themselves. For this purpose a coin

OF fifteenth leaf torn out are generally
employed, By9their means a spy who
was employed in a neutral state, max
ing his way to the headquarters of the
army in the field, could thus make
himself known to the intelligence-de
partment there. In some instances it
is considered that a sign or password
should be employed, as it is less com
promising. The putting up Of the
right hand to the ear and then to the
left ear, or some such gesture, is gen.
orally employed. The more extensive
the ramifications of the system the bet
ter are the chances for escaping detec-
ton. 1t is very necessary that officers
of the intelligence department should
be provided with specially prepared
paper, Upon which letters "a be writ
ten in ink that does not become visible
until it has been subjected to some
chemical process. 1t is also necessary
that a letter in ordinary ink should in
variably be written on the same paper
containing the information that it is
required to keep secret. Although a
spy runs the great risk of immediate
death if he is detected, yet the service
is not without glory at times, and it is
certainly extremely lucrative.

From Pearson's Weekly: Perhaps
the most isolated tribe of people in the
world is the Tshuktshi, a people occu-
plying the northern portion of the
peninsula of Kamskatka and the coun-
try ~northward toward the Behring
straights. These people are practically
Independent of Russia, who appears to
have reasons of her own for letting
them alone. They have practically no
communication with the outside world,
and have only been visited two or three
times-the last time by Major de
Windt on his journey through Siberia.
The inhabitants of the New Siberiaxa
islands are also practically alone on
earth, for they can only communicate
with the mainland, and therefore, with
the rest of the world, once a year, and
a succession of bad seasons might iso-
late them for years. The pygmies OF
the great Central African forests, if
they can be called a tribe, have also
been a people apart. For ages their
existence was little more than legend
airy, and only two expeditions COM
handed by white men have ever pene-
trated into their abode.

In the last month the excavations
being carried on in the Forum under
the direction of Signor Giacomo Boni
have continued to give splendid results.
Hundreds of tons of earth have been
removed from the side of the Basilica
Emilia, which Is now almost entirely
uncovered. In addition to the huge
fragments of the inscription discovered
last June, the bases of nine columns
supporting the portico Of the facade
have been brought to light, and the
mosaic pavement of the interior has
been cleared of the stones and rubbish
with which it has been covered for the
last 1000 years. Part of the pavement
had been destroyed in making a
medieval sewer, but part is in splen-
did preservation. AS far as yet can be
seen the front Of the Basilica must
have extended for at least 120 feet,
while it's depth, as far as hitherto ex-
cavated, is about 80 feet. Probably the
original floor of$ the edifice ran back
two or three times this distance, but

era Via are still giving good results,
though they will have to be suspended
for awhile in order not to destroy the
cart road needed for carrying away the
earth and rough stones removed from
the other sites. Perhaps the most in
teresting discovery of all recently made

mosaic pavement in the house OF the
Vestals. The ruins of this edifice were
supposed to have been fully e~Xcavated
some years ago by Prof. Lanciani, but
the discovery just made proves that the
work was then done in an unscientific
fashion, which left the most interest
ing part of the building still buried.
The pavement lies some three feet be-
low the level of what Prof. Lanciani
supposed to be the floor of the house.
A staircase built against one of the
walls runs down To it. Part of the
staircase was discovered by the former
~eXcavators, who by simply following
the steps downward might easily have
come to the mosaic pavement. A sim
liar pavement has also been discovered
in a chamber of the house of the YES
tails and another in the corner of the
Domus Publica. Sigaor Boni has also
discovered a portion Of the massive and
splendidly built wall of the Domus
Publica. In the Regia the remains of
another altar and part of the mosaic
pavement have also been discovered
