HATS OF OUR ANCESTORS.
Changes That Haze Taken Place in
 Manufacturing Headgear.


 Speaking Of the hat business" said veteran of the business to the local historian, most wonderful changes have taken place since 1850. In olden times seft felt and derby hats were not known, and it was as late as 1S45 when silk dress hats were first intro- dueed in this country, this being French invention, and all silk plush used for hats in the world was, up to this time, made in France. When Kos auth came to America he introduced the soft felt hats, wearing one him. self. It did not take American matters long to take up the idea, and in less than one year old and young Amerj- cans covered their heads with Kossuth hats. They were in shape nearly the same as tourist hats now. only being trimmed up with a nice, long ostrich plume. Along about 1858 an English tourist came along with the derby hat, and in very few years they became the general headgear in the country, and Up to the present date the demand for soft hats and derby hats is nearly evenly divided. In those days all the best class of soft mats were imported from France, and stiff derbies from England. This, how ever, has taken a material change, as American hats are now sold in all parts of the globe, and it is known fact that we produce the most tasty and best hats made. Before the ar- rival of Kossuth and the English tour ist, however, the Americans did not go bareheaded, but contented them selves with mapped otter and mapped beaver hats, for the more expensive, and the so-ealled serateh-up or brush hats for the cheaper. Brush or scratch up derive their name from the fact that nap was raised on them by means of stiff crush constructed of whale bones.

WONDERFUL oEYsER AT WORK
California spouter That Throws Water
 800 Feet in the Air.

California spouter That Throws Water
 800 Feet in the Air.
 From the Scientific American: The people of southern California have re- gently been favored with one of the most extraordinary exhibitions of nat ural phenomena on record-one which has even astonished beyond measure sses of a community fa- n4 y with instances of what natus n accomplish when it sets out to dc mething out of the common. Southerl Calffornians are so used to shocks of earthquakes, incipient volca- noes, or threatened tidal waves that it takes something extremely eruptive to disturb their ordinary composure, but the successful effort of rural rancher in his search for water with which to irrigate his fields, parched with long dreuth, has turned the gaze of the whole state toward the little town of Whittier,a hamlet located in the neigh berhood of Los Angeles. Some weeks ago a farmer named Myers, living at Santa Fe Springs, began sinking an ar tesian well. Others in the neighborhood had successfully tapped subterranean flow at depths of from 300 to 400 feet, and Mir. Myers hoped for a successful issue to his enterprise. By slow stages the drills descended until a depth of 300 feet was attained. This was on Sum- day, May IA. A drill weighing 200 pounds was employed and the prospect of tapping 8 good flow of water was be- coming more and more encouraging. 4 fen-inch pipe had been sunk some dis tance, and the usual preparations made for controlling the flow when it did make it's expected appearance. The heavy drill was working with it's usual monotonous regularity, when. after one deep plunge, loud roaring sound was heard coming from the well, aeeomDa- nied by jets of muddy water and out bursts of heavy stones. Soon after the drill itself made is appearance, fois lowed by 8 grand column of water which forced itself aigher and higher until the top reached an elevation of 800 feet. The flow was accompanied by vast quantities of gas smelling of sulphur strongly and igniting when fire was applied, burning with a strong blue fame Oil in considerable quan- titles was mixed with the flow. The stones were thrown to an equal height with the water and the exhibition of tremendous force was appalling to the last degree. No geyser of the Yellow stone ever displayed such activity The column of muddy water was like great pillar, extending almost to the clouds and falling back to earth again in graceful festoens. The force ex- erted was equal to thousand powerful engines. For two weeks this phenome- non has been active, though some diminution of the force exerted is be- ginning to be apparent. The flow of water is enormous, and, the country being fiat, some difficulty Is appre- hended In it's control.
