from the shore and as our boat
approached the wharf, little boys
came alongside and dove for small
change thrown into the water.
The water is perfectly clear and
long before the coin touched the
bottom it was in possession of one of
the brown colored urchins. The
passengers were taken in small
boats made with glass bottoms so
that the gorgeous Southern Pacific
sea plants and active salt water
animals could be seen. Fish of
gold, silver and many hues find an
ideal home among the beautiful
rocks and abundant plant life,
secure from the waves. The beach
at Catalina is favorite for
bathers and as our boat passed
from the shore toward the deep
sea gardens, a man from Maine
swan under the g lass bottom. The
caper the editor cut caused an out
burst of laughter from the
men and screams from the ladies'
They thought it was one of the
gods of the deep making ready to
destroy the timid ones in the party.
The island is unique place to visit
and has great reputation the
world over. Advertising has done
much to bring the traveller to the
rocky shore, but the place is really
over estimated as a resort.
The trip up Mt. Lowe was with
out incident, part of the distance
being in car that was drawn up
an incline as steep as the roof of a
sharp-coned house. The incline go
degrees. Trolley cars cover part of
the distance and swing around
some treacherous curves and preci
pices.
Pasadena.
The Crown City is largely for
millionaires. Some of the finest
hotels and most gorgeous homes
along the coast are here. Bob
Burdette's fine residence is always
pointed out to the visitor. G.. G.
Green, whose medicine you have
taken, erected the finest hotel there
and its magnifcence is beyond de-
scription. Pasadena is one Of the
favorite places for those who have
ailments and search the coast for
help. Altadena is short distance
from Pasadena and if the latter is
for the rich the former is for those
above the millionaires.
Los Angeles is located about Il
miles from the coast and everybody
goes to Long Beach for a briny Dip
After the long trip across the
great American Desert there was a
mighty plunge at Long Beach OF
the great unwashed.
The people of Santa Barbara
claim thev have the most charming
home land on earth. The climate is
no doubt fine. Here is an old mis-
sion founded in 1886 and since then
PRAYERS at it's affairs have never

for good and not for gold. In the
church-yard of three -fourths of an
acre lie buried 1000 bodies, thou

They lie three deep. Somodest are
the priests that no inscription is
upon their tombs.
Old Monterey.
| At Monterey still stands the first
frame house erected in California.
The lumber came around the Horn
from Australia and son of the
first owner still occupies the old
she'll. Here also is the first. state
capital building and a residence
once the home of Robert Louis
Stevenson. Hotel del Monte is a
bit of splendor and has a park rare
in beauty. At the hotel is a cypress
maze, hedge so planted that il
often requires two hours for the
curious to find the interior. Big
things are on all sides in California
and at Santa Cruz they brought
out the big trees. They are huge
and no mistake. You have all reac
of their height and thickness so it
will not be difficult for the postet
reader to realize that an ordinary
