They have some very curious crimi-
nal laws in Mexico. For instance, it is
twice as much of an offense to mutt
late the face of woman as that of g
man. The law seems to be based on
the idea that woman's best posses
sion is her beauty and that to mar IT
does her great injury. There is an
other curious law. If a person should
be wounded in an encounter the pun
ishment to the offender Is fixed by the
number Of days his victim has to stay
in the hospital or under n doctors
care. A line is fixed at forty days in
the way of a general division. If the
injured man occupies more than forty
days in his recovery the penalty dou-
bles up.

the winds which blow with ferceness
over all of California's sand plat dur

rather the cloudbursts. which sweep
the desert in Its springtime. this cac-
tus takes root wherever 1t happens to
have been dropped by the last wind

mediately begins to put out all around
It small shoots. which in turn become
cacu. exactly like the parent plant.
These young growths increase in
size rapidly. sucking the moisture
both from the parent plant and from
the surrounding earth. The roots do
not penetrate the soil deeply. but
spread often over . circle whose
radius is not less than ten feet These
roots, too. are small. but practically
innumerable. and they get every bit
OF moisture and plant food to be had
in the territory they cover.
