PERILS OF DEATH VALLEY,

Death valley is probably the most
unique nature feature in California.
1t is located IA the southeast corner of
Iucyo cc.aty, a-a is inclosed by the
Pauau.-. nc r,ai-s on the west ana
the ruup"ai range on the east. 1t is
seventy-a,y nj. long and at its mar
rowest point but eight miles wide. The
prevailing WINDS in Death valley are
from the west. Though originating in
the Pacific ocean and saturated with
humidity in travelling the intermediate
distance, they are Intercepted by the
lofty peaks of the four ranges Of
mountains, which absorb all Of their
moisture, so that by the time they
reach the valley all humidity has dis
appeared. The blasts are as if heated
n a fiery furnace, and no living thing
an survive the latoase Esst, Even
birds, indigenous to the region, die. It
is in the months of greatest heat that
the sand storms OF Death valley are
most d-.dly. Il.. rage with an in
tense fury, oblite .alI1g the landscape
and dimming the Light Of the sun,
whitening the scanty vegetation aud
covering the trails deep in powdered
dust. At all times the aspect of the
valley is suDerlatively desolato. No
spot on earth surpasses it in aridity
and tophet-like heat. During the heat
ed term an hour without water means
death. Meat becomes putrid in an
hour. Eggs are cooked in the blister
ing sand. Water is only palatable by
means of large porous ~earthenware
jars, common to all hot countries, sus-
pended in drafts and reduced in tenn
perature by means of the rapid evap-
grafton of the moisture from the out
side.

Peanut Plants lake n Pretty Ornament
for the Bouduir.

Few persons are, perhaps, aware,
that a thing OF beauty is a common
peanut plant, growing sln5jy Ia o. six

during the colder months. Kept IA

a peanut kernel planted in a pot of

Iy n I, will soon germinate and
grow up into a beautiful plant. 1t Ia
in a similar way that the peanut plant
ers test their seeds every year, begin
ming even early in the winter, and the
facility with which the seeds will
grow in this way has suggested to
many southern flower lovers the pos
sibility of making the useful plant an
ornamental plant for the pariOr or sit
ting room window. AS the plant N.
creases in size and extends it's branch
es over the sides of the pot in a PEN
dant maner, there are few plants Of
more intrinsic beauty. The curious
habit of the compound leaves OF clos
ing together like the leaves Of a book
on the approach of night or when u
shower begins to fall on them, is one
Of the most interesting habits Of
plant life. And then, later on, for the
peanut is no ephemeral wonder, end0r-
ing for a day or two only, the appear
ance Of the tiny yellow flowers and
putting forth of the peduncles on
which the nuts grow imp2rts to this
floral rarity a striking and unique
charm all it's own. There is nothing
else like it, and florists throughout
the country might well add the peanut
plant to their list of novel and rare
things.-Washingtuu star.

An example ol the cuonlng Of gulls
was observed at Tacoma, when aeYerai
alighted on a bunch Of logs that had
been in the water for a long time
with the submerged sides thick with
parnacles. One was a big gray Fellow
who seemed to be the captain. He
walked to a particular log, stood on
one side of it. close to the water, and
then uttered peculiar cries. The other
gulls came and perched on the same
side of the log, which, under their
combined weight. rolled over a few
inches. The gulls, step by step, kept
the log rolling until the barnacles
showed above the water. The birds
picked eagerly at this food, and the
log was not abandoned until every
barnacle had been picked.-GoldsA
