November Weather

A great many people are asking questions regarding the climate at Inn perial, and the record kept for the Government for November makes all interesting showing. The coldest morn ing was that of the 10th, when for few minutes the thermometer register ed g degrees above zero. There were two mornings when the thermometer fell to +2, two to +3, two to A, four to 45, five to 10, five to +7, three to 4S, one to +9, two to so, one to 5l. one to 8, and one when it only fell to 45.
 The warmest part of the day is about ? p. m., and 92 is the highest record for November, that being the high point for November ,. On the 5th the high record was 91. There were two days when the maximum temperature was 89, two at SS, three at 87, two at SD, three at S5, one at S+. three at s. four at s, one at Sl, three at 80, one at 79, and two days when the highest temperature was 70.
 There was no rainfall during the month and but one cloudy and three partly cloudy days.

where could find a substitute for my beloved Colorado desert, where the sOft-toncd colors of plain and noun tain and sky cnraptured the eye, where the mirage worked its most beautiful and mystical wonders, where the zephyrs played soft and charming tunes for the ear set to the dcsthly silence of the desert
 I could not help it. The longing for the old home hidden on the bank of Cameron lake baked my steps and fin ally demanded retreat. The shock of coming face to face with civilization might prove fatal to me, but would return though a thousand deaths stared me in the face.
 And SO by slow stages crcpt back to the land Of the mystic mirage, and when ncared the old loved home be- heath the thatch of arrow weed, be- held an ndcscribablc change in the scene. Thousands of acres had been painted a bright green, though had been gone but d year. Hundreds of people were scattered over the plain, living in hastily constructed houses or tents. Sorghum and millet and corn were there, where before was nothing but scattered sage and an occasional palo verde tree and hundreds of horses and men were at work putting in other crops. I congratulated myself that as yet my mesquite forest had not been disturbed.
 The cloak of green with which the once barren plain was being curobed did not lcok as hideous as l had sup posed it would. 1 studied the scenery closely as l wandered on, and did not for some time realize that was listen jug to music, and that music from a woman's lips. When the realization came upon me suddenly, halted and behcld young mother singing d lul- laby to her sleeping babe, with only the canopy of the blue heavens above her-my heavens, those which roofed the broad principality in which l had ruled supreme for many year.
 But l was content. There was in that face and in that voice note so pure that knew a greater ruler than I had come. Tears came to my eyes and they saved me.

Experiment Station.

The California Development compa- ny has set aside a block of land just east of Calexico for an experimental farm, upon which will be grown every thing which is likely to prove of value to the Imperial settlements. This will be an expensive luxury, so far as the company is concerned, but it is hoped that the experiments will be of great value to the settlers.
 The Government, through the Agri- cultural Department at Washington, will furnish a great variety of seeds and plants, and reports will be issued

dcscrt, in Southern California, for many years. it is not necessary to re. cite what events had prompted me to rcnouncc civilization and flee to what 1 considered the most unlikely spot or thc continent to have my hermitage disturbed.
 Near Cameron lake, one of ihc pict. urcsquc little bodies of water OH inc line between Mexico and the United States, where my eye could wander oyer the wide cNpansc of desert to half dozen ranges of mountains fcnc- ing in the broad landscape, had made my home.
 The particular place of my domicilc was made of four mesquite posts driven into the ground aud roofcd with q thatch of arrow weed. Much of my time would devote, for the sake of mental diversion, to prospecting trips to the Cocopall mountains, across the line in Lower California, or to the Superstition. Picacho, San Jacinto and Chuckawalia ranges, on our own side of the line, always keeping the desert in view, however, as one might guard his own homestead, such was my love for my kingdom, as it pleased me to think of it.
 Of course occasionally met another prospcctor or group of them, but they ,.i. xph I fixture. was always careful to let no one discover my retreat on Cameron lake, it being well hidden in a thick jungle of mesquite trees, and believe that not even Cocopah Indian ever profancd its sauctity. l sought this solitude. for there were frequent times when wanted to hide myself and, un disturbed. drink of my own grief.
 Many and many time during the years that lapscd while l grew thus from young manhood to premature and dccrcpit age there in my lonely watch by the unmappcd desert l heard of people who had wandered forth upon it in the heat of summer, lost their way and pcrishcd of thirst, and I envicd them, though would no, deliberately take my own life.
 But it was not for inc to die upon the desert, for every peak was known to my eye and however distorted might he the mountain sky lines as they were buildcd by the mirage. or how ever they tumblcd into grotesque forms as the reflection changed, l could not be deceived in the route homcward.
 IL was d principality which l pos scssed, but at length l was forced to abdicate my realm. Surveyors came and workingmcn crowded in to build great irrigation system and to paint my lovely desert with the common green of vcrdurc.
 Green was to me the symbol of civ ilization, of all that l had for years construed to stand for the mockery of domestic felicity, and from it fled - fled before it was really necessary, for could not bear to see the first settle ment made upon my broad domain

 The first night spent in the noun. tain cleft I could not sleep. tumbled about for hours, and then there came upon my ears by gradual stages the clang and clamor of q great city but an invisible city it was, for not per son and not all object, save the rough mountain sides, was to be seen. l cast aside my blankets and wandered out, thinking that I might throw of what l believed to but an hallucination.
 As stepped forth heard street car rush past me with q speed that threatened death, and felt the after current of air pull upon ne, but could sec nothing of the car.
 Bells changed and drays rattled, as though upon cobble-stonc pavement Ncwsboys yelled incomprchensible words about some horrible accident.

 While a myraid people talked to one another, and while everybody seemed noise, none seemed to see me, and felt that 10 them was as invisible as they to me.
 cannot tell how long l wandered about i'll the streets of the strange city in which the human eye could discern nothing but the barren mountain sides, but where every other sense than sight told of all the life and activity of a metropolis. At last 1 turned to my little protected nook in the mountain and fell upon my blankets, for I was sorcly battered and beaten by the rough treatment I had received dozed later, and when awoke in the morning found myself bruised in- describably. The noises had vaniscd. The great city, if it had an existence, was asleep.
 said to myself that it was all nightmare, which any person might have experienced, and that I must have walked forth in my sleep and in stumbling about have received the bruises.

It is said that the most wonderful

mighty hunters, on account of boas,
pumas and other pests that infest the
Amazonian wilds. Young Brasil soon
excelled the vaqueros at their own
craft, and his remarkable skill was so
widely talked about that Dom Pedro,
late king of that now alleged republic,
sent for the lad and made much OF
him, as that good Old man had way
of doing with this worthy subject. Be
cause of those early honors, and his
natural love for the sport, he practiced
persistently, and during his college
days was the pride of his comrades
who still tell marvellous tales OF his
feats. Sometimes the dignified minis

but the weapon he likes best is very
small gallery rifle, made in Paris after
his own instructions. With it he
shoots the ashes from his friends Gig
