shorter time. AS might be expected,
lowering of temperature of ether or
other volatile liquid will diminish the
luminosity.
This luminous condition is not con-

light as rapidly as the surface, but in
doing so does not help the surface to

Dear Aunt Mados and NJ. BIS;
Thought perhaps you might like word or
two from this little corner of the world. Well.
to begin with, our rainy season has set in,
and we have had several soaking rains, with
snow on the surrounding hills, something l
have never seen so early in the season during
my long residence in California. The morn
ings and evenings are quite cool; quite a frost
last night, although most of the flowers are
blooming out Of doors yet
We have our second growth OF hollyhocks.
They grew up very tall and bloomed this
summer, went to seed and we cut them down
to the ground. They have grown up again
and are now in bloom. The grass is getting
quite tall and the farmers are busy sowing
their grain and hay and pruning their or
chards and vineyards. Persimmons are
hanging ripe on the trees, oranges and
lemons are beginning 10 ripen. and they will
begin picking olives this month. Cloverdale
picked olives and olive oil each were awarded
gold medal at the Portland (Ore.) fair.
