Through a wonderful coincidence of
two very unusual events, a few per-

spectacle. An orange rancher in
cranking an old model two-cycle car
was unaware that his engine had back
fired, causing the motor to turn just
opposite to the customary direction
Speeding up the motor and throwing
in the gears, he had backed through
a Wire fence, a rose bush and a fig
tree before rupturpg the water hy-

by the sturdy orange tree behind it. E
All that night the injured faucet
continued to send up a finely atom

this there occurred a second wonder
