guided her skin through the channel, de-
clared that she enjoyed the excitement

uneasiness for the safety of the men in the

Oldrieve and his party went over the rapids
Of their own accord. At this stage OF
water the steamboats, go over the falls
instead of using the canal and the life
savers did not think that the party was in
danger. Prof. Oldrieve said that he did not
signal the life savers because he knew his
wife was a better oarswoman than any of
the men at the station and he never
doubted her ability to save him in case he
should lose his balance and fall over in the
water.

In order to win the wager Prof. oldrieve
must make on his present journey an aver
age of speed of nearly thirty-eight miles
day. In still water without any effect
from the wind Prof. oldrieve says his
average speed is two miles an hour, but
going down the stream he can improve or
this, though not to the extent of the We
locity Of the current, for the wind Is nearly
always more or less against him and very
seldom Of any benefit.
At every town or city along the river the

and you have pictured Death Valley at the
beginning of spring. On the face OF the
green earth lies no more terrible bit OF
world in summer no more beautiful one in
spring.
And over the graves of many-Piute ana
desert tramp, teamster and lonely pros
pector-who have lain down to rise no more
beneath it's heartless skies, glows the most
beautiful carpets of Wild flowers to be
found In this bloom-famed land of Cali
fornia. Not half the plants of Death VAL
ley 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 on
the desert are cacti, and the rapidity with
which their dry and apparently witbered
stalks put out blossoms under the touch Of
the rains is wonderful The life of any one
of the cacti is the personlhcatlon of death
and resurrection-and as they come into
fullest bloom on or about Easter the whole
desert, as far as the eye, can reach, seems
like one vast cathedral arched with tur-
quoise, hoored with emerald and gayly
CARRIED in giant Easter lilies.
Inc largest ana shoWiest blossoms Of
them all grows on a short, stock stem,
which during the summer does not seem
to have life enough to produce the magni-
feent waxy flowers which are often as
much as I'VE inches across. A cactus much
larger than this-the barrel cactus-has a
very small and insignificant bloom, while
the tiniest OF all. low. creeping. round
stemmed, Jointed growth. has an immense
.rfnIr
riyaling the fairest rose Of Persia in it,
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
array OF blossoms.-san Francisco chron-

May the time soon come for him to make
use of his material.
The attitude assumed by the government
of the United States in permitting the
