Remarkable climatic conditions
make the Signal Hill district an ideal
place for growing cucumbers. Due
to the peculiar shape Of the coast line
here, warm winds from the Japan cur.
rent sweep two ways over the garden
protecting It from frost and sudden
changes of temperature. Further pro.
lection is afforded by huge canvas
coverings which can be drawn over
the entire $40 acres to protect the
young plants.
The cucumbers are set out In beds

rounded by a board bulwark about q
foot high. Wires, supported by short
sticks, traverse the beds, cris-cross.

Messrs. kegan Paul & Co. In col

wrote "A Manual of Catholic Theol.
ogy,' another able work well known
to Catholic students and much priced
for its sound scholarship. Besides
contributing many articles to reviews
and magazines, DR.. Scannell was the
author OF THE Priests Studies" He
was member of the Commission on
Anglican Orders appointed by Leo

death, after long suffering, is much
regretted by all who knew him.

the Vincentian community, the other
becoming Sister of Charity. This
Sister was killed by the Chinese in

been instituted. Father O'Sullivan
was ordained in 1851 and labored in
