there was room for Improvement. and
1t has only been comparatively recently
that a process has been discovered which
promises to eclipse anything OF its kind
In existence
This new process should not be confused
with plating. which. as is we'll known, is
the art Of coating the baser metals with
silver or other substances by Ealvanic
current. 1t IS one theoretically Of great
simplicity. but requires i'll the successful
application of It very considerable eX-
perience and skill. Those articles usually
plated are made of brass, bronze. cop

the true sense OF the word, is the art
of taking live flowers. live bugs. fruit,
vegetables and many other articles and
that after metalizat:on has taken place
they will preserve all the veins and
beauty lines which they had before.

several processes are gone through. In

roses are received, they are carefully

After being graded. they are prepared
for metalizing. the leaves are detached
and the stems affixed. They then go to
the solution room. where they receive
their first bath. after which they are

the fourth place in the line. abaft the

Commander Wood was the youngest of
the captains in line, and entered the Naval
Academy in the fall of 1863. His class
graduated four years later, and he was at
once assigned to the old Minnesota for
special sefvice, and a year later, when he

BROUGHT TO THIS CITY
Ernest II. Greene May Have Been
Mortally injured in Alteration
with r. J. Fitzpatrick

Ernest II. Greene, shot Friday near
Nipton, was brought to the California
hospital yesterday, and is believed to
be mortally wounded. His assailant, f.
j. FITZPATRICK, in the custody of a
deputy sheriff, was taken to san Ber-
nardino and is under arrest there.
Deputy District Attorney r. h. Good
cell of San Bernardno met the tram
bearing the injured man at Verdemont,
securing his ante-mortem statement.
Greene, who recently stated he was a
nephew of Col. w. c. Greene, said
that Fitzpatrick shot him as the result
of a dispute over wages which he
claimed to have coming TO him. He
stated that Fitzpatrick seemed to be in
an ugly mood, and after stating. that he
would "hx" him, drew his revolver
with an oath and shot him.
The statements of the two mon do
not agree. Fitzpatrick says he went to
Greenes camp to settle bill, the lat
ter owing him for one days work and
seven loads of wood, and that during
the course of the argument over the
amount Greene struck his wife, who
was with him. Fitzpatrick states that
he then drew his gun and shot him.
Greene is stated to be the son-in-law
of a man named Maccume, a million
aire mining promoter Of Salt Lake City
The wounded man is said to possess
considerable wealth. owning the Jack

are well known all over the desert re-
gion of san Bernardino county.

BROTHER MOT0RCYCLISTS
STRUCK BY STREET CAR
Earl and Roy Murray Are Both Sc
Verely Injured and the Former
May Die

Earl Murray, 19 years old, probably
sustained fatal injuries, and his older
brother, Roy, suffered a severely
sprained back, when the tandem mo-
torcycle on which they were riding
was struck by an outbound East Main
street car at the intersection of Work
man street late yesterday afternoon
Earl was picked up in an unconscious
condition and with his brother was
taken to the county hospital. where the
surgeons say he probably has a frac-
tured skull.
The brothers live at Ramona. They
were riding hOmeward on Workman
street. At East Main street a grocery
store obstructs a view of the tracks.
The motorcyclists were not aware of
the proximity of the car and rode on
the track directly in front of it. Be
fore the motorman could apply the
brakes the fender struck the motor
cycle and tossed it to one side of the
track, throwing the two men directly
between the rails, BY this time the
motorman had the car under control
and brought it to a stop just as the
fender was touching the injured men.
The men were carried to the county
hospital, which is short distance
from the scene of the accident, and
late last night it was not determined
whether the younger man sustained a
fractured skull.
