Tactful Dancer.

Nine Pavlowa had to pass through
something Of an ordeal during her
recent visit to Russia. After a per-
Torrance at ST. Petersburg she was
called to the imperial box and the
car asked her why she had ceased to
live in Russia. But the dancer was
equal to the occasion. She entered
into an animated description OF the
beauties of her new London home,
and especially of her pet swans, pig
cons, and parrots, who could hardly
be expected to enjoy the delights of
travel and who even at that moment
were pining for the return Of their
mistress. The czar listened with
amusement and made virtue Of nee
essity when he gave his permission
to the great dancer to live where
and how she pleased so long as she
remembered that her own people
were second to none in appreciation
of her art.

White Of SeIborne's Portrait.

Bargains continue to be made on
the streets Of London, and naturalists
and antiquarians In the old country
have been greatly excited by the lat
est OF these; for it relates to a portrait
Of the celebrated naturalist, the ia
nous Rev. Gilbert White of Sci
borne, which was picked up recently
at the Caledonian market for a few
shillings. The Importance of the pic
ture lies in the fact that it is the only
portrait of Gilbert White of which
there is knowledge, and probably the
only one in existence. Indeed repre-
sentatives of the White family have
denied that any portrait or sketch was
ever made Of him. The newly discov-
cred portrait, which is now considered
very valuable, is attributed by experts
to Thomas Robinson, an eighteenth
century artist, who did work for the
naturalist's brother, and was probably
painted about the year 1775.

ton. Harry Jungles was due to get a
particularly acid reception when he
did appear.
Long before his head appeared over
the slight ridge in the road Pearl lis
tened in amazement to the remark
able chugging sound that was ap-
preaching. When she saw Harry she
lessly when he stopped, with some eff
fort, before her.
"How do?" Harry said, casually.
He was seated somewhat precari-
ously in the largest WheelbarrOw
| Pearl had ever seen, with two extra
wheels under it, a motor attached to
the rear and a clever amateur steering
gear in front. Never would she have
thought that a human being in such
an absurd position could look so en-
tirely at ease,
want anything in town." Harry
asked.
When Pearl managed to gasp out a
faint mo- he grabbed a handle and
choked it, banged his foot on a valve
and shook the apparatus in front Of him
fercely, whereupon the wheelbarrow
| 1unged, snorted and trundled off,
"And he's actually going to appear
on the streets of Three Pines in that
| thing!" she murmured in agony. ooh,
my! What have I done?"
Naturally she did net know that
Harry Jungles on reaching the turn
below the Trampton farm headed his
wheelbarrow around that section Of
land and back home.
After that he came to see Pearl every
day, always in his unique motor car.
He never mentioned it and Pearl was
afraid to after that first appearance Of
his when he had ignored it so COM
pletely. But she suffered at the hands
of her family, who said it was dis
grace to the community and that she
must make Harry Jungles stop it.
Pearl could have done this easily
enough by telling him not to call, but
apparently the idea never occurred to
her.
Want to go for a ride?" Harry
asked finally one bright day when he
stopped at the mail box. There's
room for two!"
mo, I don't!" she answered with
spirit.
"Will you marry me?" he inquired
next in precisely the same tone.
Thereupon Pearl burst into tears
and Harry descended from the barrow
with so much speed that the machine
tipped over and was fatally wrecked
"Wh-wh-why do you ride in that
aw-awful thing?" sobbed Pearl on his
shoulder.

New Use for Ozone,

Ozone generators have been found
to be of great value in refrigerating
plants, and several of the large estab-
lishments Of Europe have been thus
equipped. In the cold-storage rooms
attached to slaughter houses the tenn
perature of the air Is liable to be
raised to a serious extent when the
doors are left open for any reason;
for instance, when meat is being put
in or taken out. The micro-organisms
of putrefaction Immediately become
active under such circumstances, and
the keeping quality of the meat is
diminished. Now it is we'll known
that ozone is a powerful germicide.
IL the air Of the cold-storage room is
ozonized, it's temperature may be
raised without injury to the contents.

COLORADO RIVER NAVIGATION.

That small boats have piled from
the mouth of the Colorado river to
Yuma was the statement made yester-
day BY Capt J. S. Mellon, pilot
who has cruised for nearly forty
six years up and down the waterway,
says the San Diego Union.
while the water was running in
to the Salton sea- said Mellon, the
old channel of the Colorado was
nearly banked full of silt. After the
engineers had closed the intake into
the Salton sea, | made a trip from
the mouth of the Colorado to Yuma
in the Searchlight, and the banks Of
the river that should have been
eight feet out of water were only
from six to eight inches, so that a
foot rise at Yuma would throw, water
all over the banks below the intake
to the Salton sea.
1.-The first high water after the
break to the Salton sea was closed
found new channel in what is
known as Bee river, fourteen miles
below the break, and from there it
run into Maghor or Volcano lake
and thence into Hardy's Colorado,
which lays to the west of the old
Colorado. it is eighty miles from
where the river leaves lake Maghor
to the mouth of the Colorado The
river is now sixty-five miles distant
from the channel down which it orig
inally flowed.
The power schooner Ida A May
has steamed up Hardy's Colorado
to Lake Maghor, and from there
over the lake to BeItran, at the head
of the lake and about thirty-five
miles from Mexicali, Colonel Ocker
son, at the head of the government
engineers, spent nearly $500, 900 out
of an appropriation of $1,0OO,O0O try
ing to dam the Bee river and drive
it down the old channel, and there
fore the waters OF the Bee river
went back into Lake Maghor."
Captain Mellon said that in 1874
he was skipper of vessel that ran
as far as the Virgin river, a distance
of $40 miles inland. The voyage was
made through Devils and Black can
yons. The first boat to operate on
the Colorado was the General
Jessap, in 1853, owned by the late
George A. Johnson of San Diego.
Mrs. Summerhayes, who went 400
miles up the Colorado river on the
steamer ella in 1874, is the author
OF vanish Arizona though much
of what she wrote was gained from
the experiences and history of the
country as related to her by Capt
ain Mellon.
