OLD QUARRY TO BE STADIUM
Miniature California Mountain Can Be Put to Good Use at Compara-
 lively Small Expense.

A short distance from Oakland, and marking the terminus of a popular driveway along the eastern shore of San Francisco bay, is miniature mountain covering an area of about 5 acres and 135 feet in height. It has furnished a large amount of ma terial for building purposes, it's bowels being Quarried out in such fashion as to leave only a shell of the original hill.
 About a million and a half cubic yards of stone have been removed by quarrying from the inside of the hill, which has been thereby converted into a sort of roofless amphitheater with a flat, smooth floor and an entrance through one side, represented by straight and narrow tunnel, this pas sage of entrance and exit being used for carrying out the blasted rock in small cars on rails.
 To some ingenious person the idea occurred that the hollow hill might be utilized for a stadium, and the scheme Is soon to be carried out, title having been obtained by purchase Al GAlO NO0AAS SVAAPOAJs AL AAS SOSN the company $1,5OO,OO0 to create the amphitheater as 1t stands (which is so much to the good from the buyers point of view), and the expense of putting 1t in shape for the cOntem- plated purpose will be relatively small.
 The aforementioned tunnel is to be converted into an ornamental en- trance, with concrete columns. Directly opposite it is a vertical cliff more than 100 feet high and POO feet wide, against which a concrete stage will be built The floor (providing for a great arena) will be encircled by a concrete wall, from which concrete seats will rise in tiers, with six concrete stair ways.
 Everything about the Stone Bowl, as it is to be called, will be extremely Greek. It will have seating capacity of 125,OOO persons, and the arena will be large enough for football and base ball games, with a running track around 1t.

 H@opl&aI fer pIantn-

A hospital for plants is the latest device, designed by an ingenious Eng lishman, for the aid and comfort of lovers of flowers, who are often dis tressed at sight of their favorite plants ailing and dying from maladies for which they know no cure. When sick plant is brought to the hospital, 1t is immediately examined and sent to the room prepared for its case. If 1t Is suffering from a cold it ia tended with heat; if 1t has become anaemlc from an excess of solar rays, 1t goes through a freezing treatment. The unwhOlesOme branches are removed, while those that are anaemic are fed.
 It seems that certain plants are very nervous. Some easily get neuras- thenic, while their neighbors show un- deniable symptoms of hysteria. But special arrangements permit the appli- cation to each of them of the treat ment 1t requires.
