Sweet Singers.

Blackbirds we believe are not chased as singers by the "cul- chawed, the woman, forinstance, who would rather fondle 8 pug dog than a baby, would probably be in for having the blackbirds slaughtered for making such a horrid noise" We never could sabe such people. The song of the blackbird is melody personi- fled. A flock of these merry warblers gather daily in the lem on trees in the SENTINEL yard, and no sweeter music ever issued from featheredthroats; the sing ing is rich and c0nstant-a con cert from Natures orchestra; we would never tire of 1t.

YUMA ARIZONA, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 6, 1901.
WATER WORKS WONDERS.

What great magician is wa ter! Thirty years ago" says the Imperial Farmer, "the lands where Riverside now stands were net considered worth sev- enty-fve cents an acre. Today that small settlement, covering less than a township of land, is shipping to market 1, 4,500 car loads of oranges annually, worth f. o. b. more than S2,OOO, 1000, and eight-year-oId orange or chards are selling at $1,6OO an acre.
 Water has wrought this great change, and without water the wealth and the people would disappear and desolation would take their places"
 The lands in the Colorado and Gila valleys contiguous to Yuma are very similar to those about Redlands, and our climate is perhaps more favorable to the successful and perfect growth of the citrus fruits than that Of Riverside. Up to a compara- lively recent date, however, neither agriculture nor fruit raising has received the atten- tion in these valleys justified by the natural resources at hand, one reason for this being our great mineral resources, in winch we are more fortunate than our neighbors of the River side country. But now that we have adequate and extensive IT. rigation systems, the day is not far distant when the Colorado and Gila valleys, owing to their rich lands and superb climate, will be the gem of the citrus belt, producing every variety Of semi tropical horticultural, agricultu Tal Dr0ductS besides. and coming into market from six to eight weeks earlier than from any other region on the Pacific coast.
 There could be no safer invest ment than to buy lands ill these valleys; or, for that matter, business or residence property in Yuma, for there is no ques- ton about it-this town has a great future. Yuma-th&n which no other spot on earth has been more mercilessN berated, slan- dered and maligned-will in the time not far distant reach the high pinnacle of population, wealth and commercial standing from which she can look down upon her LijIiputian tTaducers with scorn and contempt. The signs are right, the elements for this great development are ours. Endowed thus by nature, we are going to grow.

Discovery of a Far-Extetnding se-
 ries of Subterranean Chambers.

Columbus (O.) State Journal.
 Logan county is a land of wonders. Near Bellefontaine is the highest point of land in the State. Further east are caves and remarkable rock formations. Near West Middleburg is the mysterious subterrane- an lake into which a portion of the road way suddenly sank. after being driven over since the country was first settled. Near West Liberty is the picturesque Mac-o-chee Valley. dear to the hearts of the Indians and famed as the homes of the Piatts. Now Logan county proudly exhib- its within her borders a remarkable cave, rivaling in many respects the great Nom moth Cave of Kentucky. This is the late ly discovered Mount Tabor Cave, laby- rinth of devious rock passageways con- meeting large rooms full of fantastic rock formations and studded with gltterng crystals extending no one yet knows how far.
 The entrance to Mount Tabor Cave is four miles southeast of West Liberty, and so valuable is it already considered that Abraham Reames. who owns it. has been offered Sl2, 900 for his siXty-aCre farm.

parent. was the son of Prince Tuan. but he is said to have been more, or less formally deposed for Tdrunkenness and dissipation. These failings have not been altogether unknown among even the occu- pants of the Dragon Throne, and possibly Pu Chin might have lived down his bad reputation. But there is a. more fatal dis qualification in his case. His father Prince Yuan, has been condemned to break stones on the postal road to Hi
 in perpetuity." and, low as the Chinese throne has sunk, the son of a man so engaged could not be held worthy of filling it.
 Pu Chin disappears and in his place comes Lun Peitze, whom Reuter- politely describes as weak in intellect" This may mean much or little, but from the point of view of the old Empress Tse Thsi it is the highest qualification. Lun Peitze will quite suit her plans. The whole af- fair Is interesting because it shows that while tn epowers have been negotiating with Prince Ching and Ii Hung Chang as the representatives of the Emperor kwangsu the real power is still wielded by his redoubtable aunt She Is now on the way to Kaifong, where a great coun- ell Is to be held on Chinese matters from the imperial family point of view. It is not impossible that this nominati ton of a fresh heir apparent Is connected with an intention to let the world know that there is new Emperor.

BABY ELEPHANTS JOKE.
It Made Things Lively For a Minute , on the Buffalo Midway.

New York Sun.
 She was just back from the Pan-Amer- ican: She wasn't paying excess on any weight of serious information brought home with her, but she knew the Midway like a book, or, rather. a comic paper Every page of her experience had laugh at the bottom and she turned the leaves for every friend she met Her particular favorite was as follows:
 "One evening we were lettering past the animal show when I noticed a queer was a heavy. square wooden chair, with arms and high back. It would not have been remarkable except for its width, which seemed excessive, and the fact that 1t was so very low. The seat was less than a foot from the ground.
 We stood there speculating as to its use when another group or ioliercrs stop ped near us They were paying no at- tention to the chair, but were discussing just what particular fake they would ex- pertinent with next. Unconsciously they had stopped pear the peculiar armchair which had attracted my attention. They stood with their backs to it, one woman being only few feet away.
 Just as we were about to give up our attempt to solve the chair problem we saw baby elephant come out of the menageries building, swing along with the peculiar gait of its kind and sit down in the very seat we were staring at. The barker came out. too, and began to get ready to shout for crowd.
 Just then the elephant. which was Tapping its ears and swinging its trunk from side to side. seemed to decide on in- vestigating the group standing in front of him. The woman had her belt pinned down in her back with a large headed pin and gleamed temptingly in young MT. Elephants eyes. He stretched out his trunk and began fumbling with the pin.
 The woman felt something and put her hand around to see that her belt was in place. Before her hand got there the trunk was gone. She satisfied herself that her moorings were secure and then brought her hand back to the front again. Presto. up went the trunk for second attempt! The woman was so occupied In the discussion that she was probably only half conscious of being touched. for merely put her hand back on another ex- petition which again missed the explor- ing trunk.
 "Once again the elephant found the field clear. This time he was surer of his ground. He deftly took the head of the pin. drew 1t out and then swiftly jabbed it-there is no other word for it-into the woman's back Scream? Of course she did. She jumped about three feet, too. and as she came down she whirled around to see what had struck her. When she saw that elephant. she jumped an- other three feet. If somebody hadn't I have seen the Midway very lively at times, but I don't think ever observed greater excitement that prevailed for the next few minutes. I must confess that we added to the occasion by going into fits of heartless mirth. The elephant? Oh. he was a model of a joker. He never cracked smile."

No Cork Legs.

Notes and Queries.
 After an experience of something over thirty years as house visitor in one of the largest of our provincial hospitals, may say no such definition as "a cork leg" has been known in the surgical pro- fession during the whole of that time. The expression. now practically obsolete. no doubt, originated in the fact that arti- fctal limbs were formerly made of steel or other metal uprights, shaped up by layers of cork; but for the last fifty years at least these substitutes for nature have always been constructed of wood willow by preference, because of its light ness and stability-covered with leather. Cork Is never used. The working joints are. of course of finely tempered steel. There are q understand from one of the oldest and hest known manufacturers of these appliances) certain kinds of legs known specially in the trade by the names of inventors or distinguished wearers. The term "a cork leg" is, however, only used today Off used at alb by rank out siders.

Fascfnation Which Wild Regions

Fascination Which Wild Regions
Have for Some Men.
From Scribner's.
It was nearing midnight when we entered
Phoenix. Ariz. Price directed the way to a
corral where he was known, and where we
left the animals feasting on fresh alfalfa,
while we Jared forth to see his friends. 1t
was precisely as though Price had invited
me around to his club. He led the way to
a saloon, and as we entered it I saw at once
its typical character. At the left Of the en-
trance was bar, gorgeous with mirrors
and cut glass; while down the deep recesses
of the room were faro and roulette tables
and tables for poker. The groups about
them were formed of "cow punchers" and
prospectors and "Greasers'' and Cinnamon.
and even Indians, all mingling and inter-
mingling with a freedom that suggested
that in gambling there is touch Of nature
that makes the whole world kin.
But more Immediately interesting to us
was a group which stood beside the bar. It
was made up as I found, of politicians,
high In territorial Office, all OF whom knew
Price and hailed him cordially while asking
after his luck. For some time we stood
talking with them. then one OF their num-
ber. himself not a politician. but a. business
man. proposed our joining him at supper.
We accepted, the more deiightedly be-
cause he. of all the group. had most at

he told me of himself confirmed my own

Victor Hugo's Home.
Paris Letter to London Chronicle.

The former dwellings OF Victor Hugo are
the topic OF conversation since the resolve
TO found museum of this name in the
Place des Vosges. One Of these, at Al Rue
de la Tour d'Auvergne, is still inhabited by
NJ. Amand Lagoutte. who has been its con-
cierge since 1S4S. when the poet went to
live there. He is now ninety years of age,
and he has many recollections of the poet.
The agreement was signed by M. Victor
Mario Hugo of the French Academy, ex-
peer OF France and deputy for Paris. AS
the Papa Lagoutte" used to help Isidore,
Victor Hugo's valet, when guests were
invited, his recollections are full of inter-
est. He remembers the visit OF Prince
Louis Napoleon, who was then candidate
for the presidency of the republic, as de-
scribed In "LHistoire dun Crime" He
has heard the table talk of Lanartine Bal
zac. Beranger. Theophile Gautie-, Alex
andre Dumas. He was present when Prince
Jerome Napoleon informed the poet of the
proposed Coup d'Etat." and asked the
poet to get his cousin arrested. From this
house Victor Hugo entered upon the nath
OF exile. and one OF his first calls on his
return was upon the faithful janltor of
long ago.
