SAN DIEGO CLUB WILL SPEND
HALF MILLION ON 1900 ACRE
RANCH NEAR THE OTAY DAMS

| SAN DIEGO, July 10.-Coinci-
/ dent with the announcement by the
] Minnewawa club of 100000 i'm
provement progra mon its 10000
acre rancho adjoining Upper and
Lower Otay dams, comes statement
from City Manager Rhodes of San
Diego that the first of the city s
Ifrout pond nurseries has been com
| pieted, assuring great sporting
district less than one hour from
Fifth and Broadway.
The Minnewawa club s program
calls not only for lighthouses and q
pier on Lower Otay but sail-boat
course on the lake as well. Not
every San Diegan realizes that
the Lower Otay has an area of 30
square miles, impounds 15,646,9O0,-
900 gallons of water, and constitutes
the. city s largest reservoir. It's use,
therefore, not only for fishing and
hunting but for sailing and other
aquatic sports in connection with
the adjacent club, and under the
supervision of the city water de-
partment, will give the local back
country what it has long lacked-a
fresh water pleasure ground in com
bination with golf, trap shooting,
polo, horseback riding, hounds,
stream fishing hunting and all other
land recreations as being developed
by the club.
Trout Nurseries
In cooperation with the forego
ing program, the city of San Diego
is installing series Of trout pond
nurseries just above the high water
mark of Lower Otay with which
further to stock the lake. Either
to the baby trout or fry have been
planted directly in the lake, but so
destructive were the ravagcs, of
perch and bass in consuming them
prior to maturity that the city, CO.
operating with the state game com
mission and the San Diego County
Fish and Game Protective assOcia-
tion, decided on the nurseries. 1t is
estimated that only one percent of
the trout fry survived to maturity.
AS the 25,000 fry required to
stock San Diego S first trout nursery
cost the state $3.50, including trans
portation, the value of the co-opera
Imperial Valley press., 1924-07-10

ton is appreciated.
The fry are transported in spe-
cIal fish transportation cars equip
ped with refrigerations systems
which keep the water at an average
temperature of 80 degrees. Period
ically, compressed sir is forced into
the water for publication. Two
thousand fish are contained in each
of IL large cans, or $4,000 TO a
carload. These cans resemble gl-
gantic milk cans.
Food Platforms
The nursery ponds at Lower Otay
will each measure eight feet III
depth by 10 feet in length ard 2S
feet in width. Each pond is
equipped with feeding platforms
four feet under water. These plat
forms are in reality troughs, in
which are dumped liver and ground
sardines. In addition the platforms
provide shade and shelter TO the
baby trout.

SAN DIEGO LAYS
PLANS TO SECURE
ELEPHANT SEALS

SAN DIEGO, July 1O.--Thc Am
erican Legion, the Naval Reserve,
the San Diezo Geological society
and the Mexican army met yester-
day in conference to get the nee
essary permission for the capture
of a rare sea elephant seal for the
San Diego 700. Assurance was Civ
en- to the gathering by Gen. Ricardo
Carracoso, the representative of the
Mexican army, that there would be
very little difficulty in obtaining
the necessary permission and that
he himself would use his influence.
Through the efforts of POGtmas-
ter E. w. bort, who is lieutenant
in the naval reserve force, one of
the big sea elephants was captured
on the Guadalupe islands by the
naval reserve crew Of the Eagle No.
II, on cruise last summer. The
big mammal was brought to the
San Diego 700, where it was fed
and acclimatic. 1t was then sent
to the 700 at Mexico City.
Elephant for Zoo
Lieut.. bort and the naval reserves
want to get another elephant this
year, in fact they want to get a
pair to keep in the San Diego 700,
and they are making every effort
to get the permission of the Mexi-
can government, which has re-
Gently passed law to protect the
elephants. These big seals are al
most extinct, the herd at Guada-
lupe islands being the only known
group of the animals left. In addi-
tion to protecting them by law, the
Mexican government has stationed a
detachment of % soldiers on the
islands.

SEEING IN THE DARK.
Why Beasts Have a Slight Advantage
Over Humans.

Why Beasts Have a Slight Advantage
Over Humans.
II is commonly supposed that cats
and some other animals are gifted
in a way that enables them to see
In perfectly dark places where 1t, is
impossible for the human eye to dis
Germ anything. This is only partly
true, however. In a really dark room
a cat can see no more than human
being. In semi-darkness, though, a
cat can see more, because of a dis
tinctive difference in their eye for
nation.
The eye Of normal person auto
amtically adjusts itself, in the en-
lasging and contracting Of the pupil,
to make it possible to see distinctive
in different degrees of light.
When we go from darkened
room out into the bright sunlight the
eyes blink and squirt until the pupils
have contracted sufficiently to ac-
commodate the eyes to the quantity
of light. And In going from the
bright light into darkened room we
cannot see clearly until the pupils
have expanded to take in all the light
possible.
The advantage that cats and some
animals have is that the pupils OF
their eyes are much larger and can
expand so as to take in more light
than the human eye. In places that
may seem quite dark to human be-
ings there may be more light than
can be taken in by the eyes of the
animals, and this accounts for the
superior gift with which they are
credited. In an absolutely dark room
the cat or any other animal has no
advantage.

Meanwhile the afternoon shadows
faster fell. We rode for ages and
those two poor harassed men sobbed
on one another's shoulders about the

most strange ,indeed-and that if Al

from the outside he would just step
down to the one store at the station
and see if Mrs. Jones had gone there.
He took an awful step, for he was
gone half hour, and Alfred and l sat
glumly huddled on the porch steps,
like two burglars in the dusk. Con-
tinually he moaned over the strange
ness of Mrs. Jones being out when her
husband had said she would be in.

WILL DELIVER MAIL
VIA THE NORTH POLE
Norway to Accept Cards on
Top of World

New York.-Arrangements for the
first aerial mail service ".via the North
pole" to be inaugurated as part of
the air polar expedition, headed by
Capt. Road Amundsen next summer,
were announced In a cablegram from
the discoyerer of the South pole re-
ceived In New York recently.
The Norwegian government, the
cable said. has agreed to accept at the
post office at Spitzbergen, where the
expedition hops off, specially stamped
post cards issued In commemoration Of
the event, which are to be Cancelled
at the North pole and then delivered
by regular mail to all parts of the
world. n
Proceeds from the sale Of these SOU
venir cards. which it is believed will
command high values from stamp col
lectors, will go to defray expenses Of
the Amundsen expedition. Their sale
In the United States has been under
taken by the Wanamaker stores In
New York and Philadelphia as a spe-
cial service for Captain Amundsen,
who is now in Norway contemplating
arrangements for the flight.
The polar post cards are unique In
that they are the only cards ever is
sued which will carry the postage
stamps of two governments. They also
bear prominently across their face the
legend: Delivery subject to accidents
beyond our control" This attempt to
reach the North pole Is to be made by
squadron of four airplanes. or flying
boats, which are being specially con-
structed at the Dornier works, at Fried
rickshafen. Germany.
They are built Of special metal, and
the hulls are so constructed that the
planes will be able to take off equally
well from water, Ice or snow.
Each plane Is to be equipped with
wireless receiving and sending set with
an estimated range Of 400 to 800
miles. With relays from the expedi-
TONS mother ship and various other
bases established on the polar Ice
sheet, Captain Amundsen expects wire
less messages Of the arrival at the pole
to reach New York within few hours
Lieut.. Ralph Dawson, United States
navy, who has been assigned by Secre-
tary DENLY as Americas representative

SENSITIVE WATCHES.
Susceptible To the Personality Of
Those Who Wear Them.


Those Who Wear Them.
One of the troubles of watchmak-
ers is the man who gets on his
watch's nerves. There are lots of
customers on whom good watch is
wasted. A good second hand watch
that has kept perfect time for other
people will with certain other people
go irregulariy when it is not standing
STILL It is common knowledge In the
trade that watches are greatly in
auenced by their owners.
Nobody knows the reason, but two
explanations have been offered. One
is that watches are sensitive to per-
sonal magnetism, the natural cleo
tricity that human beings contain in
varying quantities.
The other is that a watch may be
disturbed by the vibrations set up by
a footstep which is heavier than the
ordinary. The man who puts his
heels down heavily usually needs to
set the regulator toward slow to
keep 1t from gaining.
One of the mysterious sides OF the
subject is that watches seldom keep
good time on people Of nervous, ex.
citable temperaments.

CITY SNOW PROBLEM.
Disposal Of "The Beautiful" AS Fast
As Il Falla.

Disposal Of "The Beautiful" AS Fast
As II Falls.
A new method of keeping the
streets of New York clear of snow
was recently adopted by the street
cleaning department Of that city. 1t
consists in sweeping the streets clean
Of the snow as fast as it falls instead
of waiting until the storm Is over.
At a glance. this would seem labori-
GUS task, necessitating going over
and over the same area, but 1t has
been estimated to be much the cheap
err and most efficient where a large
force of men is available The great
est advantage in the method is that
the sewers of the city may be used
to carry off the snow as fast as it
falls, while II no work is done until
the storm is over all of the snow
must be carted away. The cost of
the new method is estimated to be
about $4,000 per 100000 square
yards cleared, as against about a22,-
900 by the old method.
