SOUVENIR OF CoNCLAvE.
King Edward of England viii Get one
From California.

The Sir Knights of California are
preparing a gift to King Edward OF
England as souvenir of the Con-
clave which he has honored by
sending delegation as his person
al representatives. The Sir Knights,
appreciative of the honor bestowed
upon them by the foreign potentate,
and this being the first instance
that delegation of distinguished
Knights representing the highest
Masonic bodies crossed the ocean to
attend Conclave, will send their
token to Britian's king by that
very delegation, as a souvenir OF
the Templar Conclave held at San
Francisco. The gift is to be such
that the King will appreciate and
treasure it among the most valued
in his possession. Under the aus
pices and with the sanction of the
triennial committee, a volume will
be printed containing the history of
the twenty ninth triennial conclave.
with all the incidents of that most
memorable event. 1t will contain
complete and accurate record Of the
conclave. The book, which is in
tended for all Sir Knights as a SOU
venir of the conclave, will combine
all that the best of the printer s,
engraver's and binders art can
produce. Neither skill, effort, nor
cost shall be spared to make it
volume of such exceptional merit
and attractiveness that it will con-
vey a correct impression of what
San Francisco is capable Of in that
line.
The volume which will be sent to
King Edward is to be printed on
the choicest vellum, nine by twelve
inches in size, 8O0pages, and bound |
in the highest art. The cover for
the precious volume is now being
made by Shreve & Co. of San Fran

Our merchants and tradesmen
complain of the arrangement of
business produced by the antici-
pated draft. Since the call of the
president for $780, 900 men was
issued, they say purchases have
visibly declined, even for the ne
cessities of life. They say the men,
in anticipation of having to enter
the army, either by draft or volun-
teer, are DESTROYS of saving every
dollar possible, and hence the dull
ness.
Every man who induces an ac-
ceptable recruit to enlist for St.

SO for his trouble.

The prospects for filing the city's
quota looked more encouraging yes

were in the market, and we secured
quite squad. Alderman Wright,
who is managing our quota, says
we will fill it if subscriptions come
in plentifully enough. The city
should be subdivided into districts,
so that every enrolled man shall be
called on and compelled to do his

Recruits and exempts came in
yesterday from every direction, by

The provost marshall's Office was

Artesian Water . Fertilizer.

Investigations carried on during the last year by Mr. s. w. McCallie, assist ant state geologist of Georgia, acting in cooperation with the United States geo. logical survey, have revealed the pres ence of interesting and perhaps valuable properties in some of the artesian wa ters in the Coastal Plain of that state. Water taken from a deep well at Bax- ley showed on analysis 5.5 parts per 100000 of phosphoric acid, which would indicate that it might be used tor fertilizing as well as for irrigating barren fields. Tn other words, it may be acceptable to the desert land as both food and drink. It Is estimated that 8 layer of this phosphoric acid-bearing water 12 inches deep over one acre of land would exert 8 fertilizing effect equal to that of 200 pounds of conner cial fertilizer

scAvENcERs OF DESERT.
How the Coyotes and Crows Keep an Eye on One Another in Guest
 of Food,

It is probable that one never fully credits the interdependence of wild creatures, and their cognizance of the affairs of their own kind and other kinds. Mrs. Mary Austin, in The Land of Little Rain" says that the scayengers of the desert all keep an eye on one an other.
 Never coyote comes out of his lair to hunt, in the country of the carrion crows, but looks up first to see where the crows are gathering. It is sufficient occupation for windy morning, on the iistless, level mesa, to watch the pair of them eying each other furtively, with a tolerabIe assumption of unconcern, but no doubt with certain amount of good understanding.
 When the five coyotes that range the lyon from Pasteria to Tunawai planned relay race to bring down an antelope strayed from the band, an eagle swung down from Mount Pinos, buzzrds mate rialized out of invisible ether. and hawks came trooping like small boys to a street fight. Rabbits sat up in the chaparral and cooked their ears, feeling themselves quite safe for once as the
 
 hunt swung near them.
 Nothing happens in the deep wood that the blue jays are not all agog to tell. The hawk follows the badger, the coyote the carrion crow, and from their aerial stations the buzzards watch each other.
 Very clean and handsome, quite bely- ing his relationship in. appearance. is Clark's crow, that scavenger>a plum derer of mountain camps. It is perm1s- sible to call him by his common name, Camp Robber::" he has earned it. Not content with refuse, he picks open neal sacks, f1lches whole potatoes, is gour- mand for bacon, drills holes in packing cases, and is daunted by nothing short of tin
 All the while he does not neglect to vituperate the chipmunks and sparrows that whisk off crumbs of comfort from under the campers feet.
 The Camp Robbers gray coat, black and white barred wings and slender bill, with certain tricks of perching, accuse him of attempts to pass himself off as woodpecker; but his behavior is all crow. He freQuents the higher pine belts, and has noisy strident call like jays; and how clean he and the frisk- tailed chipmunks keep the camp! No crumb or pairing or bit of egg-shell goes amiss,
 The cunningest hunter is hunted in turn, and what he leaves of his kill is meat for some other.
