THE FLEET AND SANTA
 BARBARA.

There was peculiar appropriateness in the festivities of the battleship fleet al Santa Barbara Not that the saint employed her time in round of material pleasure; on the contrary. her life and final martyrdom were ex- trcmely trying. She was beautiful. like the salubrious spot that is named after her; the legend reads that her father shut her up in high tower so that her suitors would be discouraged \ servant of the great theologian OrigeI managed to gain access to the tower. instructed her in Christianity and baptized her. Directly her heath- en father learned of her conversion he carried Barbara to d mountain and himself beheaded her: whereupon a tempest arose and the wicked parent was struck dead by lightning. So Santa Barbara iS invoked as a protec- tor against lightning and explosions. Sailors pray tO her in storms. More significantly. she is the patron of for tlfications and firearms. of armorers acd Sunsmiths. Her image formerly appeared on powder magazines and arscnals. In the French navy, Co this day. the powder room is called Sainte- Barbe; in the Spanish nautical vocab- ulary, Santa Barbara.

A POPULAR PLANT
 IN DRY COUNTRIES
Rhodes Grass (Chloris Virgata) Sue cessfuIIy Cultivated For Forage in Dairy Districts of Australia.

The Republican has received from a correspondent in Australia a small sample package of Rhodes grass seed tChloris virgata) which 1t is believed by the, sender. Mir. B. Harrison, will prove to be a valuable range grass in Arizona if properly experimented with, The sample will be given to a gen- tleman who is experimenting locally with grasses that promise to be ser Viceable to Arizona stock men. It was accompanied by the following letter: This grass is rapidly rising in pop ular favor in Australia and the report of it's great merit points to its eXclu sive cultivation. The reasons for Its popularity are its heavy yield and well known drouth resisting qualities. In the central Queensland dairy district. where the rainfall is light. Rhodes grass is more popular than Paspalum, as it stands the extremes of climate better and stock of all kinds relish 1t. At one of our experimental farms this grass yielded twelve tons of green for age per acre.
 "The seed germinates readily and the plants throw out runners which root at each joint until the ground is covered, after which the grass grows up straight some three to five feet high. according to the uliality. of the soil and it quickly forms a dense sward. There is no difficulty in get ting rid Of it at any timc if necessary. as the roots are fibrous. and it can easily be plowed out.
 This grass should prove of great service to stock breeders and dairy farmers in the United States. espe- ci1lly to those who reside in the dry district. Yours very truly.

President Ebbets claims that Manager.
Donovan was not aggressive enough
with his men, and on that account the
