St. Louis. Many of the finer exhibits that won gold medals at St. Louis have been placed upon the tables in the chamber under the direction of Secretary Wiggins, and now those residents of the city as we'll as any tourists who did not visit the fair can see just how the articles displayed looked at the exposition. 0. w. Leffingwell of Whittier was awarded the grand prize for his display of Eureka seedless lemons. He has placed full case of his fine product in the cham Der. These lemons are said to be the best in the world.
 The attention of the visitor is also called to the prize grapes, oranges, grape fruit and other products of the Golden State, exhibited in the same bottles in which they were shown at the exhibition, all looking as fresh and luscious as when they were prepared for the long journey to St. Louis year ago. A considerable portion of the fruit is on the floor of the chamber and much of it will be taken to Portland to compete for the prizes at the Lewis and Clark exposi- tion.
 George o. Jenner, representing the San Diego chamber of commerce, is engaged in placing in the Los Angeles chamber a splendid display of "Old Mission" olive oil in neat bottles and in canned form adorned with white labels, some of which are in gold embossed form, put up by Aker- man & Tuffley, who were awarded the gold medal at the St. Louis fair. It appears now that only prize winning products of the state are being pushed to prominent places in the chamber by Secretary Wiggins, whose delight it is to talk of the fine quality of California products.

Immense Cave Found in Southern
 Nevada.


 Reno, Nev.-George Anderson and William Jones, two prospectors, re- turned to Reno with reports of the discovery of another strange cave in the southern portion of Nevada. The cave has been explored to depth of 300 feet and shows evidence of having been inhabited by prehistoric race. The cavern is located on the line of the new Clark road near Caliente. Between the myriads of stalactites that hang from the walls hieroglyphics have been found. Old stone seats have also been discovered.
 The men also state that they have discovered mineral wealth in the cave. Assays from the ore give satisfactory returns in gold, silver and other metals. Efforts are now being made to explore the innermost caverns of the cave and startling results are ex- pected.

Vegetable anSmutatiOn.

Radishes may be transformed into potatoes, according to the Academy of Sciences. Paris M. Mollard takes very young radish, "pasteurizes" it in a certain way and it grows up in a a fine potato. More scientifically, the young radish is cultivated into glass retort, after process invented by Pasteur, in concentrated solution of glucose. Starch then develops plentifully in the cells of the radish, which swells out, loses it's pepperiness and acquires practically the consis. tency, flavor and especially the nutri. tive properties of the potato. 1.-The Herald.

New Hawaiian Industry.

Honolulu, San Francisco. After many years of trials, the introduction of rubber in commercial sense has been established in Hawaii. Six years ago a rubber plantation was started at Nahiku, but little has been heard of the matter until recently. Now the trees have been found to be in a condition to produce rubber, and the work of gathering it will soon begin. Those interested are among the wealthiest Hawaiians. Over 5,00C saplings have been planted.

It is very common tree in many of our country towns and cer- talnly deserves to be more popular than it is.-Cal. Cultivator.
