Whenever an unusually long branch falls to
the ground 1t seems almost to work Its
way into the earth, so soon does the Shift
ing sands cover It.. Then process of root
ing takes place, SO that soon an entirely
separate plant comes up few feet from
cacti are formed throughout the desert.
One noticeable thing about all the plants
In and around Death Valley Is that they
grow low to the ground-for no living thing
can stand against the simoons that sweep
this level floor for 200 miles on over into
tect themselves from the drifting sand in a
wonderfully ingenious manner. When the
plant first breaks from the ground 1t comes
up not In one stem, as do the taller cattf,
but In many tiny, branching stalks, SO that
what solid earth and rocks there are among
the sand clouds fall between these stalks
and form q sort of openwork barricade.
Against this the sand drifts, but does not
choke out the life Of the plant. The winds
of the desert always blow from the same
direction, so that the barricade is always
available, whether 1t be rain, wind or
sand storm that is blowing.
Another beautiful bioomer OF this far
desert raises foot-long SHAFT. four-pointed
and like no other flower stalks In the world.
On 1t are clustered great waxen blossoms,
two or three inches across, perfumed with
all the sweet scents of Cyprus and the Ind.
and ranging from palest golden white to
deepest purple.
From right to left OF the narrow valley

PLANTS OF DEATH VALLEY.
Little Known, but Beautiful Flowers
Found in Great Stretches of Desert.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
Not half the plants of Death Valley are
known to scientists; most Of those that
are known are little more than names. and
will never be more until the prying arm of
the railroad shall have laid bare some OF
the secrets of this Vale OF Hinnom.
Most beautiful and most plenty. of
course, of all these plants that bloom In
the desert are the cacti. and the rapidity
with which their dry and apparently with
cred stalks out out blossoms under the
touch OF the rains is wonderful.
The largest and showiest blossom of
them all grows on q short, stocky stem,
which, during the summer, does not seem
to have life enough to produce the mag
nificent waxy flowers, which are often as
much as five inches across.
A cactus much larger than this-the bar
rel cactus-has a very small and insignin-
cant bloom, while the tiniest of all, low,
creeping. round stemmed. Jointed growth.
has an immense pink flower. beautiful as
any orchid and rivaling the fairest rose OF
Persia in its odor.
Unfortunately, the names OF these rare
species are not well known. and the COM
moner varieties, which are also found on
the coast slope, bear no such gorgeous ar
ray OF blossoms. Old friends greet the
traveller on the rim Of Death Valley, too.

that the traveller meets with scattered
clumps of the thorny shrubs miles before

respondents from proceeding with their
suit to compel the complainant to pay

The court offers the opinion that II
there was fraud, in representations
made at the SALE Il could be pleaded
as defense in an action at law, so
that there would be no need of seeking

sentation was not made in the bill,
to Justify the dismissal of the suit.
Humhurgs refusal TO accept the deed
