Rain Has Swollen Creeks.

The storm of the early hours of this
morning, together with the heavy rains
which have occurred all through the day.
have caused Valley cheek to get on a
tear and the waters in many places are
out of the banks and the country in the
lowlands is inundated. The storm af.er
midnight was OF unusual severity, as
about three miles north of this city on
the North Bessemer line trees were up
rooted and fences and barns blown down.
At Walnut Grove the kitchen and smoke
house of Frank Owens was demolished
by the fury of the storm, and from all
accounts this place received the full
force of the wind and rain. At Brighton
the creek is in some places quarter of u
mile wide and unless the rain ceases the
danger line may be reached before morn

Look Into Commission Floht,

When DR.. Ragsdale arrives in this city
tomorrow morning he will find that he
will have his hands full for the entire
day as apart from the police commission
middle, which he intends to devote some
time to, he will also have to meet some
of the opponents of the bill to create an
inferior court in this city.
That there is some opposition there is
no doubt, as most of the merchants, it IS
said, have signed petitions against the
measure and it is expected that delegates
will go to Montgomery to fight the bill
in the committee room. 1t is understood
that the doctor expressed a wish to con-
suit the people of this city prior to talk
ing definite action on the police COM
mission matter, and he will do so tomor-

A sea covered with oranges Is one
Of the unusual attractions near Ven
tura, Cal. at the mouth of the Santa
Clara river. Thousands upon thou
sands of oranges floating on the
oceans surface, many Of them strew-
ing the beach. give an indescribably
beautiful golden hue to the sea.
There are wonder for some time as
to how the oranges got into the sea.
The belief was general that they came
from washed out orchards in the east
end Of the county. owing to the high
storm waters In the river. This is not
the case, however The oranges were
deliberately thrown into the Sespe
creek from the Sespe bridge, rs miles
back from the coast. From the Sespe
they found their way back into the
Santa Clara river and thence into the
sea.
The oranges are from the great
packing houses In the Sespe country.
They are known as culls, but most
Of them are good. or were when
dumped off the bridge. 1t is claimed
that only the best oranges can be
shipped and sold.

The Invention Of Armor.

The idea Of the invention OF armor
for the protection of the body from
weapons came from the ancients,
who, noticing the natural arnor OF
various kinds Of animals, particularly
the armadillo. initiated it.
In early times before metal was
used in armor making the warriors
used rough hides to several thick
nesses. and the first armor ever worn
was made from slices taken from the
hoofs Of horses and fastened together
with pegs. Fish scales and the scales
Of large snakes were also gathered
and fastened together until they
formed thick layer and were used
as armor.
The armor Of the Middle Ages was
continuation OF the ancient kind,
made In the form OF scales OF iron or
steel. Certain kinds OF mail used in
early times in England were copied
from the shells of crabs and Holsters.

HOW tEvsEs ARE MADE.
Important Changes in Methods Of

The modern method of levee bald.
Ing Is nowhere more scientifically
demonstrated than in the st. Francis
district. In the early days of levee
building 1t was thought that any pile

vide and running approximately paral-
Iel with the river was good enough.
The delusion cost thousands OF dol
lars. To-day the site Of the projected
levee is carefully cleared Of all trees,
the very roots being grubbed out, be-
cause these would decay otherwise,
leaving channels through the soil I'M
Ter the dyke through which sipe water
would quickly undermine the strue-

sarth dug from barrow pits adjacent
to the leyee on the landward side is
placed.
Il is not dumped helter-skelter, but
carefully spread in layers giving the
finished mound the maximum strength
and solidity. These LAYERS extend both
laterally and longitudlnally across the

The work OF placing the dirt is done
principally by means Of wheelscrapers

Taffeta-Tlpped Cigarettes.

There's a new cigarette staring

a cork tip it is tipped with the finest
quality Of taffeta silk. The mono
gram matches the silk In color and
the whole affair is 50 attractive that
the beholder doesn't wonder VIZ
women take to smoking. Even ultra
conservative, old-fashioned matrons
have felt constrained to admit that
the little cylinders were pretty. Since
1t has been learned that the Colony
club, most exclusive Of women's or
ganizations, permits women smoking,
apparently many humber sisters have
acquired longing to puff.
