 Review of Reviews.
 The first English walnut orchard in Cali fornia was planted with seed from he Los Angeles Mission gardens, where the padres had started a few trees with nuts brought with them from Spain. The undertaking was success from the first. and the acre. age of walnuts has steadily increased-slow- ly at first. but now with rapid strides. The walnut trees early age of bearing. its long life and the steady demand for its product tend to make the enterprise deservedly pop ular. Already 1t Is superseding the orange in favor among fruit-growers.
 The walnut tree begins to bear when six or seven years old. and nothing is known definitely of its age limit of bearing. Fabu- 'lous stories are told of trees in Spain one two centuries old, bearing enormous crops. The oldest trees in California are still bearing. but deductions from the short history already made show that the tree Is in its prime from its twenty fifth to its thirtieth year, Fifteen hundred pounds of nuts to the acre is a good average yield making seventy-fve pounds the average weight from one tree.
 The harvest time begins about the middle of September and lasts nearly six weeks The nuts begin to fall with the leaves. and the perfect cultivation under the tree leaves no chance for them to lose themselves among clods or weeds. The brown. dead leaves alone hide the nuts. Under normal conditions they drop free from the outer husk' or hull through it's irregular burst ing and getting the nuts picked up is a simple matter. Sometimes the trees Are well Irrigated just before harvest time to insure the clean dropping of the nuts

Money to Burn,

About the time the late Collis P Hunt ington was able to ride from the Pacific to the Atlantic on his own railway lines he was regarded as an easy mark by many persons who desired to pose as philanthropists-with the money earned by other men.
 On one of MT. Huntingtons periodical visits to Newport News, the thriving lit- tie city which he established at the east ern terminus of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway, a local committee called upon him to make donation to the pub lie school system of the city, modestly suggesting that five or six valuable build Ing lots and an endowment fund of half a million dollars would about meet the requirements in the case.

 SeacOast Defence
 In the actual defence of seacoast are applied the principles of strategy and tactics used with land armies. The first line whither it be the defense or the attack, Is the fleet, and of this the one essential component is the battle ship. No space remains to indicate the probable mode of attack or the proba- bla reply of the defence; put this is certain, the best defence is the bold in- itiatiVe that draws the battle ships into the open sea, where they can give bat tie. When fractions of the navy are shut up in strategic points the princi- pies of strategy are violated just as they would be if a field army were shut up in land forts, and this, means ultimate disaster In the reduction of fortified sea places the most important energy is equally tho battle ship. Direct naval attack on strong works Is now deemed justifable only under excep- tional circumstances. The ships will be utilized to cover the landing of an army seeking to s>duce the works from the rear and to a ord the. base iron. which the auixilaries-the weapons of

FARMERS REMOVE
OBJECTION To TROLLEY

The project for a trolley line be-
tween wilmington and West Chester
by way of the Wilmington Pike, passing
through Darlington's Corner, Dilworth-
town and other places, has been re-
vived, and it is said the promoters have
good prospects of success in getting
through the entire distance. This pro-
iect was first Matched several years ago,
and considerable money spent in look
ing over the ground. There was at
that time however, much objection on
the part Of some of the property own
ers to a trolley line, and the matter
was given up. These objections do not
exist at the present time, the prejudice
against a road having died out, and it
is possible the line win be built.
Henry II. Hoch, Of New York, the
prime mover in the construction Of the
new road, was in West Chester recent
ly in company with a friend, drove over
the proposed line. 1t is said the peo-
pie along the pike will now welcome a
road gladly if it is built at once, but
that they do not want the delays which
have attended other trolley operations
in this section.

In recognition Of both IT'S practical
and scientific value, the government
authorities have determined to reopen
and permanently maintain The Weather
Bureau station on top Of Pixies Peak.
Owing TO the difficulty of obtaining men
who possessed both the bodily strength
and the technical training for the work
the station was temporarily abandoned
in 1894 since which time II has been
merely an object Of curiosity TO sum-
mer tourists. it Is, OF course, easy to
flnd men who possess sufficient scien-
tihc knowledge to observe ana record
the atmospheric phenomena but It Is
not so easy to find men who possess
perfectly sound hearts and strong
lungs, and who are willing 20 be shut
Off from the rest OF mankind during
the winter months. The altitude of the
station on Pixies Peak and the rarihed
air breathed make a sound constitu-
tion as essential TO the observers as a
scientific training. The trials and hard
ships which must be undergone at this
station are peculiar 10 it alone, and
obtain nowhere else In the world. It
