Flowers in the Soil

1;
 Horticulture has not yet attracted much attention in the valley, but Mrs. Horn of University Place, Nevada, recently took to her home some of the soil, in which she has geraniums growing, and Miss Clark recently grew roses in Imperial soil in Los Angeles. This idea of sending the soil hundreds of miles away to grow flowers might be improved on by grow ing some here. Mrs. Huddleston of Imperial has been making a start in that direction, and is seeking to do- mesticate some of the wild flowers of the desert, one of which has developed great beauty and fragrance when the flowers are placed in water.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1901.
SAN DIEGO OR LOS ANGELES?

There are some indications of a coming contest for the trade of I'm perial between San Diego and Los An geles. The latter town is now mani festing desire to retain and extend the trade with Imperial of which it has thus far held monoply. If the Southern Pacific railroad should come to the belief that its interests lie in promoting the growth of a country on its lines into which hundreds of people are passing and where hundreds of thousands of acres are to be brought under intensive cultivation,. it will undoubtedly seek an inlet into Inn periai defore other railroad projects are consummated for the valley, and Los Angeles would thereby be the gainer.
 But the engineers on the San Diego Eastern railroad and the men at the head of the company are bending every energy to get through to Yuma, by way of Imperial, and independent forces have for some days been at work on a projected route through the valley to connection> with one of the three main roads in Southern Califor- mia.
 Imperial is shy and modest maiden, as becomes one so young, but she is perfectly willing to be courted, not withstanding her brief fractional year of existence, and whether it be Los Angeles, with which her destiny has thus far been allied, or San Diego, which lies nearer and has some ad- vantages to offer, the great Imperial valley will prove prize to the victor ious city which first secures her at- tachment.
 This is not a time for long waiting. The solution of the railroad problem will soon be at hand.

RATHER RICH

Some of the Arizona papers are oh- jecting to the employment of Indians in the mines, insisting that only American" labor be employed. It had been imagined by the Press that the Indians have tolerably clear title to the designation American. The best school for the Indian is to work with Caucasians, and the latter owe it to the aborigines that they be taught to work.

COUNTY OFFICIALS

Supervisor J. A. Jasper is escorting Game Warden Weitzel over this super visoral district, the two having spent Monday night i'll Imperial. Jasper says that Weitzel is a famous nimrod, and that while at Blue Lake at one shot he brought down two ducks and four fish, all of which were served by the camp fire. Whether the ducks were in the water or the fish in the air Jasper did not explain.
 The Supervisor also tells remark able story of a man near Imperial who discovered in a neighbours DO session the hide of calf which he had raised, producing two witnesses to identify the hide. An arrest was about to be made, when along came the calf whose hide had been identified. Jasper thinks the climate of the Imperial valley is responsible for the calf shed ding its hide and growing new one. He will not have it that species of hide-shedding cattle is being evolved.

Hay and Grain
 At Diamond Lake.

Many people driving in from the west bring stock feed further than necessary, not knowing that they can get supply at Diamond Lake, on the ranch of Arthur Ewens. This is the first feeding and watering station on the plains after leaving the mountains on either the Julian or Campo road, being east of the junction of the two routes; 26 miles from Carriso Creek, IS miles from Coyote Wells, 12 miles from Imperial and 13 miles from Calexico.

road, thirty-six miles west of Imperial, on the line of travel between this place and Los Angeles, and another on the Campo road, between Imperial and San. Diego. The former road has been in practicularly bad condition. Water troughs are being provided at number of new points on the roads. MT. Jasper promises to assist in inn proving Imperial avenue from Calexico through Paringa and Imperial to the railroad when the route is decided on,a and recommends that wherever other roads are needed in the valley ease ments be made out to the county for rights of way.
 MT. Weitzel is not here because of violations of the game law, but to get acquainted with the country. He has in view the stocking of the lakes of this vicinity with bass or some other varieties of fish, which he thinks can make their way against the carp now in the waters of the valley.

IA VERY COSTLY TARGET
D
S Reproduction OF War Ship That
= VIII Cost q Fortune to Be
D Used as Mark.
Observation-Disclosures

Our naval experts are making ready
to test a new gun and q new explosive
In very elaborate fashion. No old war
ship being available, the Brooklyn
Naval Yard has received orders to
make a dummy vessel, at q cost of
$4,000 or $4,000, the side Of which
is to be an actual duplicate of an actu-
al man-of-war.
This costly target, says the New
York Journal, will be used to test one
of the new twelve-inch rifles such as
are now being installed on our latest
battleships.
Upon this floating target will also
be trained the new .Gathman torpedo
gun. One shot from this frightfully
destructive weapon may blow the
dummy war ship into splinters.
Naval officers are now discussing the
question of what avail it would be If
the armor were Of the finest quality if
a shot striking it should drive it bodi-
ly into the side of the ship or so strike
and injure It as to permit large quan-
titles of water to enter. 1t Is thus
evident that the quality Of the armor
is only one element Of the resisting
power Of the ships side.
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1901-06-19

Armor must be held and supported
by suitable framing like that forming
the ships hull and of sufficient
strength so that it shall at least resist
any serious injury until the armor Is
actually pierced through and through,
and in the latter case the damage to
the framing should be local only.
The special point that it Is hoped to
settle in the coming test with the big
target is to note how shot from the
torpedo gun will affect the ships side
about the water line. For consider
able portion Of her length ships side
is protected by belt Of armor extend
ing from three feet above to four and
one-half feet below the water line.
The upper portion Of this armor is
fourteen inches thick down to point
one foot below the water line. below
which it decreases to seven inches at
the bottom. The armor Is bolted to an
elaborate system of framing forming
the portion of the hull. 1t Is the eff
cheney of this framing that is to form
the object of the coming test. For this
purpose the target is now being de-
signed by Captain Capps. 1t will
represent part Of the side Of the bat
tleship Iowa.
All this structure and wall Of armor
when complete will be mounted on
big float and towed out to sea OF San
dy Hook.
When viewed broadside on it will
look like a small section Of the bat
tleship Iowa. But looked at from be-
hind or from either end it will pre-
sent the curious form shown In the
diagram. Several years ago the French
Government built dummy represent
ing the complete side of a war ship
as a floating target. Our new target
Is modelled after that.
The Gathman gun which is to be
trained on this miniature enemy has
a huge barrel with an eighteen-inch
bore, but the gun is shorter and light
er than our twelve-inch naval guns. 1t
has Just lately been completed at a
cost Of S65,OO0 at the Bethlehem
PENN iron works, and is to hurl gun
cotton shells.
One shot from the Gathman gun is
expected to sink the biggest war ship
afloat.

ipulation and a proper arrangement Of
colors it could be transformed into a
hat that would delight the most fas'
tidtous lady In Berlin.
That very evening, therefore, he
obtained sample cap and examined 1t
closely. He found that It's founda-
ton was of straw, and that on 1t was
built an amazing and gorgeous super
structure Of cocks and peacocks'
feathers. In front, too, was a small
framed mirror and round 1t were sew
eral silver coins and two Of gold.
Next day he made further inquiries
and learned that sometimes the foun-
dation is an ordinary fez instead of
straw; that an embroidered 'kerchief
Is invariably worn with the cap, fall
ing down it at the back, so as to pro-
tect the neck, and that the headgear
was introduced from Servia into Bos-
MIA about twenty years ago. What
surprised him most, however. was to
learn that it Is only married women
who wear this cap, and that 1t Is their
fixed rule to strip it Of all its feathers
after they are married one year, and
henceforth to wear only the founda-
ton of straw or plain fez.
With three or four Bosnian caps
carefully packed in bandboxes he re-
turned to work, and now his firm Is
debating whether it would be posi-
BILE to model from this picturesque
headgear hats that would commend
themselves to the fashionable women
of Berlin.-New York Herald.

and dive, too, like good fellows. Wharf
rats swim from wharf to wharf, and
I have seen them dive In four or five
feet Of water.
II have in mind q wharf that was
built upon cribs, to which fishing boats
used to make fast to land their fish.
Sometimes boats would throw over
here small, waste fish, that were Of no
use, fish weighing maybe three or four
ounces apiece. There were rats living
in the cribwork Of this wharf. and
when there were any Of these waste
fish around they would come out to
get them. You would see rat poke
| his head out from between two logs
of crib and look down in the water.
If he saw q fish there he would make
dive for it, straight to the bottom,
and set his teeth in 1t and rise with
1t to the top of the water, then scram-
Bile back with it into the cribwork
again to eat it.
"Can rats swim? Well, I should say
they could.-Los Angeles Times.

Torpedoes and Ether Waves.

An ingenious mechanism has been
devised by an Englishman. by means
of which a submarine torpedo can be
steered by ether waves transmitted as
in wireless telegraphy. The torpedo
in addition to the usual explosive ap-
paratus, carries a Marconi coherer, in
circuit with q relay and batter. and
this is so arranged that it governs the
movement Of the rudder. A fine wire
attached to q metal float keeps the
torpedo in communication with the
air, and, consequently. with the ether
waves. BY means Of wireless trans
mitter the apparatus in the torpedo Is
actuated from the shore or from a
ship, and the torpedo's movements are
thus controlled.

Makes q Publisher Tired.

It Is very apt to make the publisher
of q newspaper tired after carrying /:
subscriber for two or three years with
out seeing the color Of his money to
have him finally send along his cash
accompanied by q letter ordering his
name off the list, simply because be
was asked to pay up. Instead Of ap-
preciating the extension of his credit
for so long a period, he is only too apt
to consider himself much injured
Individual when payment is suggest
ed. What he should do after holding
back for so long a time is not only to
settle up, but, by way of returning
past favors, pay for q few years sub
scription in advance. That's what he
should do, but does he do it? Well, q
man of good breeding does.-Fourth
