tutions of the west was the old Ger

Union Bank Of Savings. both OF Los

effected January. 10, 1905 and the com

American Savings bank. have already

Barlow 6 Braqdon

Dealers in real estate. stocks and
bonds Messrs III. w. Barlow and J. r:
themselves in 1903. made their names
stand among the potent ones in Los
Angeles commercial affairs. BY adj
herring to the strict lines of business
they have won for themselves an en-
viable prestige in the commercial world
of Southern California.
If there is one particular thing that
may be said to characterize this firm it
is this: profound faith in the future
of Los Angeles and a deep conviction
thing to have in the world AS preach
ers of this doctrine their enthus-
iasm knows no bounds. They have,
during their brief but enterprising
career in this city, built up a business
that requires ten able people to handle.
Their faith in this city is not confined
to her real estate alone. AS large as
their activities are in that field they
stocks and bonds. In the local market
their names stand for honesty and in
teGrity Their patrons have implicit
confidence in their upright and intelli-
gent business methods, ande for that
reason they have large clientele
among whom are numbered some of the
best known men and women of the
state.
Mr.. Barlow stated the other day that
the local stock market was never in a
more substantial condition. There is
lolHns HlSHty OF HNSterlcal ABOUT II,
but prices are steadily advancing on
firm ground as warranted by the legti-
mate increase in values.
He says he also finds that people who
have real estate holdings in this city
are very reluctant in selling. even those
whose homes are elsewhere. Thus, he
takes it, Los Angeles realty is coming
TO be generally recognized as one of
the safest and wisest investments a
man can make. Last year he says
was one of marvellous activity in Los
Angeles real estate. This was particu-
larlY true of business and residence
INST as active Heretofore most Of the
business has been done during the win
ter months owing to the great popu-
larity of this city as a winter resort,
but the coming of the summer has
found no falling away At least that
has been the experience of his firm and
he believes it to be true of most all the
other real estate firms of the city

The total number of children born
outside this state is about 21,000, show

tries, showing that about $4,000 children
were born in the United States, more

wonderful Vitality of 1...c...

1t is n standing puzzle to the ento-
mologists and others interested in the
study Of insects how the frail little
creatures Of the mosquito and the but
terhy order can brave the cold of an
arctic winter and yet retain their vital
ity. A London naturalist took the lar
va of the common mllkweed butterfly
and exposed 1t to an artificial blast SO
degrees below zero. Upon taking it out
OF the range of this artificial blizzard
and gradually thawing the creature
out the naturalist was surprised to find
that the worm was able to creep in
less than half an hour afterward. Ac-
cording to the testimony of all the arc
tic explorers, butterflies and mosqui-
toes, as well as great variety of 9TH
er insects, have been found fitting Joy
ously about in the highest latitudes
ever penetrated by man 1t is even de-
clared by those who have made tours
OF exploration to the far north that the
mosquitoes Of those regions are the
largest and healthiest varieties of that
species Of pest that have ever been dis
covered by man.

On the Evidence.

Murray F. Tuley, who gave twenty
five years of continuous service as
judge of the circuit court in Chicago,
was noted for the strict impartiality
with which he rendered decisions, even
when his personal bias was strongly
the other way. On one occasion, hav-
ing heard certain famous suit, he
found himself impelled to hand down
a decision repugnant to his own incli-
nation.
"Do you mean you think the defend
ant was not at heart swindler?" de-
manded an intimate friend, who dared
complain of the finding.
Billy" said Judge Tuley solemnly,
'T took that evidence to Arkansas with
me and studied it two weeks Then l
brought it home and spent ten days
more on 1t. Then 1 said in my deci-
sion:
$50 far as the evidence shows the
defendant is an upright and honorable
Christian gentleman
$50 far as the evidence shows" re-
peated the jurist slowly and with en-
phasis. Then he leaned forward in
his chair, placed hand on the others

vindication:

Water.

Water Is a fluid simply because its
particles. which may be compared to
an aggregation Of infinitesimal pearls,
are kept separated by latent heat Out
side heat applied to a vessel containing
water causes the latent and applied
heat both to act on the air contained In
the water. Under such conditions pure
water at sea level will boil at a tenn
perature of 212 degrees F. IL the
barometer pressure be thirty inches.
II, however, the vessel containing this
same water be carried to the top of a
high mountain or put under the ex-
hausted receiver Of an air pump 1t will
boil before 1t reaches the temperature
Of 212. because the atmosphere has
been taken away 80 as to allow the air
contained in the water to escape be-
fore 1t becomes sufficiently heated to
impart that quality to the loose parti-
cles of water surrounding It At a
height Of $1,000 feet on the sides of
the Himalaya mountains water boils
at a temperature of 1sO degrees and
under the exhausted receiver Of the
air pump at only 72 degrees. This
proves that boiling water is not always
equally hot. 1t also tells us why It is
next to impossible to cook meat, vege-
tables. etc, in high attitudes by the
boiling process.

ALL ANIMALS LIKE A JOKE.
They Pull Tails, Make Faces and
Play Hischie s~us Tricks.

A Siamese monkey was being
brought to Europe on steamer with
several other monkeys, who for some
reason would have nothing to do with
him.
This ostraciSm eNaSperated the Sia-
meSe. and whenever he got chance he
would grab one of the others by the
tail. drag him all over the deck and
finally climb into the rigging and drop
his victim with a dull thud.
Darwin tells of n female orang ou-
tang that took hold of dish in which
her food was served and put it on her
head as If 1t 1t We're hat. Thus adorn-
ed she provoked roars of laughter, to
her evident qualification, from the
crowd around her cage.
Another naturalist saw baboon get
even with an officer who had often
teased him. Seeing the officer ap-
preaching, the baboon poured some
water into a hole in the ground, mix
ing it with earth so as to make mud.
When his enemy came up he splashed
the muddy water on the officers uni
form. For long time after this every
time the animal saw the officer he In
dulged in what had every appearance
of being laughter.
Saville Kent declares that dolphins
are fond of teasing other fish by seiz-
ing their tails and dragging them
through the water He once saw two
dolphins attack big skate swimming
near the surface of the water. The
skate tried to escape them by raising
its tail out Of water. but the dolphin
in every direction.
Foals will often tease human beings
by galloping toward them, as If in
tending to run them down, then stop
ping short within an uncomfortably
short step or two.
Gross. the naturalist, relates several
amusing instances Of similar nature
when given piece of bread that he
did not care to eat, dropped it and
then, lying upon 1t, pretended to look
all round with the most innocent air,
as If wondering where it had fallen.
Another case he speaks of Is that Of
terrier whose greatest pleasure it
was to catch flies on the window panes.
Nothing annoyed the animal more than
to be laughed at when he missed his
prey.
''In order to discover what he would
do." says Gross, II purposely laughed
immoderately each time he was un-
successful, and the more laughed the
clumsier he grew,
"At last he was so unmistakably an
noyed that in his despair he pretended
to capture a fly and made the appro-
pirate movements Of tongue and lips,
finally rubbing his neck on the ground
as II to crush his victim, after which
he regarded me with triumphant air.
$50 well had he played his little
comedy that had l not seen the very
fly still on the window 1 certainly
would have been taken in by this
trick. When l called his attention to
the fact that the fly he had chased
was still at large and that there was
no dead fly on the floor he perfectly
understood that his hypocrisy had been
discovered and was so ashamed that
he skunk away and hid under couch"
