CREEPING CACTUS.
Curious Plants That Will Travel
Across q Desert.


Across q Desert.
The isolation Of the desert lowlands
OF Lower California, combined with
alterations Of long continued droughts
and heavy rains, has resulted in the
development of the richest and most
extraordinary desert fora in the
world" says e. w. Nelson in the Ma
donal Geographic Magazine.
"Cactuses of many kinds abound,
varying from giants standing with
massive futed trunks fifty to sixty
feet tall to little struggling stemmed
species too weak to hold themselves
upright. The fruit of many of these
cactuses is edible and much sought for
once one Of the main crops of the In
dams who lived in this arid region.
The cactus forests often form thorny
jungles through which it is impossible
to pass.
after months among these thorny
plants we supposed we had seen them
In all their eccentric variations Of
forms. One morning. however, while
crossing the Llano de Yrais, in front
of Magdalena bay, rode out from a
dense growth of bushes into an open
area and pulled up my horse in amaze
ment at sight of the most extraordi-
binary Of them all. Before me was Il
great bed Of the creeping devil cactus.

near Nyack. Tho fight was for a purse
OF $500 and n side bet of $50. and the
