ANAHEIM VOL XVII. ON AN OLD ROAD. A host of pepples, a flight of swallows; A harry of raip, and a wind that follows Shepherds the leaves in the shepherded hollows, For the forest is shaken and tilted. Over my head are the fires for rafter; The grows blow south, and my heart goes after; I kiss my hands to the world with laughter Is it Adlenn or mystical Ind? Oh, the whirl of the fields in the winds weather! How the barley breaks and blows together? Oh, glad is the free bird all at on the heatherOh, the whole world is glad of the wood! —CHARLES EDWARD MARKHAM, in Scribner's magazine for July NOTES BY THE WAYSIDE. Ei. GAZETTE:—Having an interest in a mining claim in San Diego county, I left home on the 5th day of July, in company with P. N. Stamps, C. Perry and W. E. Ward, editor of the Orange Tribune, all of Orange, to look after our interest there, and to note the improvements by the wayside as we journeyed along. Just below the head of the Orange ditch, the S. A. V. I. Co. have planted their pumping works to raise the surplus or waste water into their ditch. They have a 70 horse-power engine all new and working well, and a large pump, warranted to pump ten heads of water, constant stream twenty feet high. They have suik a well twelve by twenty feet, which is curbed by a heavy frame of timbers, and lined with two inch boards. In order to force this down as the sand is taken from under it, heavy weights are put upon the top. These weights became so heavy as to endanger the lives of the workmen, who refused to work any longer, and the well was only made eight feet deep. A dam of sand is thrown across the river and all the flowing water is turned into the well. The pump was put to work when the well was full, and in one and one-half minutes the well was pumped dry. The company is now boring THE SCALE PEST. NATURAL FOAM OF THE COTTONY CUSHION SCALE. An Instructive and Interesting Trentise From a valuable article which appeared in the last issue of the Pacific Rural Press we take the following: It will be acceptable to know that some progress is being made in discovering natural foes of this scale, although it must be acknowledged none yet found have an appetite commensurate with the reproductive power of the pest. The idea of sending a skilled investigator to the natural home of the Icerya, when it shall be settled upon, to hunt for parasites, is a good one, and we hope it will be realized. We cannot court too many natural enemies for our imported pests. The facts brought to light by the studies of Prof. Riley and his assistants with reference to predaceous insects found here are interesting, and we give them herewith. The following is selected from the report named: Birds — The natural enemies of the cottony cushion scale seem to be very few in number, not only in California but also in South Africa the only bird which is recorded as feeding upon this scale is the common" white eye" (Zosterops capensis), and this is given by Mr. Trimen upon hearsey evidence only; "I have not noticed any of our small birds attacking the Doutheen," but Mr. C. B. Ethiot tells me that his boys have observed the little 'white oye'." Pecking at them." From what we have been able to learn of the habits of this bird, however, we are in- OUR DISTANT QUEER PHASES The Pythagorean life akin. The teacher however, were only a teachings of Budha.

A writer to Nature gave anecdote showing are at times vindictive and the parrot had a cat had upset Polly's fist that sort; however, they again. An hour or standing on the edge of a tone of extreme affection come now, come now, and looked up, innocent Polly with her beak seas a well twelve by twenty feet, which is curbed by a heavy frame of timbers, and lined with two inch boards. In order to force this down as the sand is taken from under it, heavy weights are put upon the top. These weights became so heavy as to endanger the lives of the workmen, who refused to work any longer, and the well was only made eight feet deep. A dam of sand is thrown across the river and all the flowing water is turned into the well. The pump was put to work when the well was full, and in one and one-half minutes the well was pumped dry. The company is now boring seven-inch wells in the main. They will sink a dozen or more, one of which is to be 20 inches in diameter. The pipes will be cut off at the bottom of the large well. As there is a large volume of water in the sand they expect to raise it in sufficient quantity to keep their pump running most of the time. All that is lacking to make this scheme a grand success is the water, and we believe that if the well was sunk as commenced, twelve by twenty feet, to a depth of forty feet, the inflow of water would be sufficient to supply the entire capacity of the pump. Should this be a success, and we believe it will, it will give to this country one of the most solid booms it ever had. Many wells could be sank in the dry bed of the Santa Ana river to catch the undrinked and sufficient water could be raised to irrigate the whole country from the canyon to the sea. We stopped to noon at the head of the canyon, and went to examine the upper railroad bridge across the river. The builders were just giving the finishing touch, and the tracklayers were expected to be ready for the engine to cross that afternoon. The bridge is an immense structure, as all of the bridges of the railroad company. We were informed that the lower or Burrel Point bridge was already framed, but that a temporary roadway would be thrown across the river to allow the construction engine to pass, and continue the tracklaying while the bridge was being built. This will speed the work, and will take the cars into Santa Ana by the first day of August. On our return, the 14th inst., the tracklayers were about half way down the canyon. Leaving the river, we ascended the hill at the Rincon settlement, where a large sign was flung to the breeze with finger pointing down the way, written in bold colors, RINCON HOTELL. We saw no signs of any very protentious building, but were informed that it was the intention of the company or some one else to build a large hotel at the corner of 12th and Charity streets. There being neither numbers or houses in the city, we did not take time to look over the map and locate the building spot, but doubtless it must be a very fine location, as $20,000 is to be expended in erecting the building. From Rincon to South Riverside, a distance of four miles, was the most disagreeable drive I ever made. The wind blew so hard that we could not even class it as a tornado. A young Eastern cyclone Birds — The natural enemies of the cottony cushion scale seem to be very few in number, not only in California but also in South Africa and New Zealand. In South Africa the only bird which is recorded as feeding upon this scale is the common white eye" (Zosterops capensis), and this is given by Mr. Trimen upon hearsay evidence only: "I have not noticed any of our small birds attacking the Darthesia, but Mr. C. B. Elliot tells me that his boys have observed the little 'white oye'." Pecking at them." From what we have been able to learn of the habits of this bird, however, we are inclined to think that it is attracted rather by the abundant secretion of honey-dew and the minute insects caught in it than by the scale insects themselves. Neither Mr. Coquillett nor Mr. Koechele observed any bird feeding upon it. The reason for this exemption is probably the copious secretion of wax, which is doubtless disgustful. Several reliable persons report that ducks and cochens feed greedly upon these scale insects which are dislodged from the trees. On one occasion a brood of six young ducks gorged themselves upon scales which had been washed from the trees with pure water, and on the same day two ducks died. On the day following three more died, while the sixth recovered after an illness of several days. This disastrous effect was probably due to the greed with which the scales were eaten, as they were said to produce no such result with quickens which ate them at the same time. Predatoric Insects — The only predaceous insect observed by Mr. Coquillett to feed upon the cottony cushion scale was the larva of a species of lacewing fly (Chrysantpa sp.), which was not bred and cannot be named more exactly. The ambiguous ladybird (Hippodamia ambigua) has been noticed feeding upon the eggs when they were exposed to view by the egg sac being broken open; but neither this nor any other species of ladybird was seen to feed upon,the adult insect, although commonly attracted by the honey-dow secreted. Among the predaceous insects found by Mr. Koechele and sent to us for study we may mention first the larva of a small moth (Bastobasis icerynella n., sp.), although as yet we are not certain that it ordinarily preys upon the living and uninjured scale insects or their eggs. Like certain other called predaceous Lepidoptera, it may be attracted primarily by the waxy secretions of the bark lice, and only incidentally destroy the insects and their eggs. These larvae were often found feeding in the egg masses of females which has been destroyed by soap washes, and also in sacs, the eggs of which had hatched some time previously, but never upon fresh eggs. One o.the larvae, kept in a glass tube with living scales and fresh eggs, fed slightly on the waxy mass, but did not thrive until after the scales died. It then fed upon the dead scales and molted, but died before transforming. Two nearly full-grown larvae fed readily on dead scales which were still soft and passed through their transformation that in their psychologyomy, they approach mating. A writer to Nature gave an anecdote showing at times vindictive and the parrot had a cat had upset Polly's that sort; however, then again. An hour or so standing on the edge of a tone of extreme affection came now, come now, and looked up, innocent Polly with her beak standing by and tipping contents over the cat, actually. Of course it half drowned the cat. There are actions and the lower forms of animal intelligence.

There being neither numbers or houses in the city, we did not take time to look over the map and locate the building spot, but doubtless it must be a very fine location, as $20,000 is to be expended in erecting the building. From Rincon to South Riverside, a distance of four miles, was the most disagreeable drive I ever made. The wind blew so hard that we could not even class it as a tornado. A young Eastern cyclone would be but a mild term to use. The dust flow in clouds blinding both man and beast, and we can honestly say that we did not see the road a half dozen times in four miles. Although land is held there at $500 per acre, and we carried away enough to make us feel quite wealthy. We inquired of many if such zephyrs were an usual occurrence, and were assured by all that it was. Just one year ago we passed the spot where South Riverside now stands, and not a house or even a board marked the place. Now there are from 50 to 75 houses. A large hotel, large brick buildings and fine dwellings, with large stores and a rush of business; everything to indicate a progressive people. All pull together for the good of the country. The land is first quality raisin grape soil, and we predict it will become one of the finest raisin districts in San Bernardino county. Its situation is high, picturesque and charming, with plenty of arable land to build a large settlement and a valuable city. The water will be brought to the land through large cement pipes 30 inches in diameter, which are now being put in place. We were informed that the projectors had already sold $800,000 worth of land. An avenue has been laid out to correspond with the celebrated Magnolia, making that avenue 18 or 20 miles long. THEO. STALEY. ANAHEIM, July 18th, 1887.

The Pythagorean theory made all animal life akin. The teachings of Pythagorus, however, were only a re-adaptation of the teachings of Budha. There are still those who believe that instinct is intellect and that the soul principle is shared by all animal life. Following are some curious mani-festations of intellect or instinct among the inhabitants of the lower animal kingdom: Dogs may often be observed dreaming. Watch them, and you may see that they are again hunting the rabbit or hare which they captured during the day. Darwin states that an elephant was being fed through the bars of his cage, with potatoes. One falling and being just out of reach of his trunk, the blew it against the wall nearly opposite, and on its rebounding he was able to get it. This seems something more than instinct. G. J. Romanes says: "Monkeys, apes and baboons, notwithstanding these animals differ much from dogs in not having been mentally improved, there is enough evidence to show that their mental life is of a distinctly different type from that of any of those we have previously considered, and that in their psychology, as in their anatomy, they approach most nearly to man." A writer to Nature, some years back, gave an anecdote showing clearly that birds are at times vindictive: "One day the cat and the parrot had a quarrel—I think the cat had upset Polly's food, or something of that sort; however, they seemed all right again. An hour or so afterward, Polly, standing on the edge of the table, called out in a tone of extreme affection: 'Puss, puss! come now, come now, pussy!' Pussy went and looked up, innocently enough, when Polly with her beak seized a basin of milk." FOR OUR HOUSEWIVES. DON'T WASTE YOUR FRUIT. Cann It—Make Preserves, Jamms, Jellies, Etc. It is said that canned berries retain their flavor and keep better when a buttered cloth is laid over the top of the jar before screwing down the cover. Many housewives who put up fruit in glass jars complain that it becomes bleached. This may be avoided by wrapping the jars in newspapers and putting them away in a dark, cool place. A delicious breakfast omelette is prepared by mixing the ingredients in the usual way and then placing whole apricots in the golden envelope before it is rolled. Another is similarly made, with the introduction of sliced bausanas laid in the compound after being delicately browned in the sweetest butter, then turned in the omelette. Fruit for breakfast is thus poetically recommended by the Pacific Fruit Grower. For breakfast eat fruits: The earth and skies share its life. Its flesh, filled with sunshine, needs no human basting. Its veins are sweet with fragrant dew formed into life by soft sighing winds. The ardent kisses of the summer sun paints the blushing cheek of the velvety peach, and fills with wing the purple grapes ensphered. In purple luxuriance that drop through the leafy roof of trellised arches. Such a breakfast is patriarchal. It has a flavor of Arcadian days and the mythological age of a dead past. ORCHARD: FARM AND VINE-YARD. THE MANGO. The mango tree (Mangifera indica L.) is a native of tropical Asia, but during the last hundred years has been extensively cultivated in the tropical and sub-tropical regions of the New as well as the Old World. It grows rapidly to a height of thirty to forty feet, and its dense spreading and glossy foliage should secure its cultivation for the sake of its shade and beauty alone. Its fruit, a drupe (not to be confused with that of Spondias mangifera Pers., belonging to the same order, also called the wild mango in India) was originally stringy and sour from its containing much gallic acid, with a disagreeable flavor of turpentine, but has become sweet and insious through culture and selection, to which we owe many varieties, differing not only in flavor but also in size from that of the plum to that of an apple. When unripe they are used to make pickles, tarts and preserves; ripe, they form an agreeable and very wholesome dessert. In times of scarcity the kernels are also eaten. Not only the flesh and kernel of the fruit, but also the bark and resin are of some medical value, and the timber, although soft and liable to decay, serves for common purposes, and, mixed with sandal wood, is employed in cremation by the Hindos. The tree is usually propagated by grafts or by layering, rather than by seed.—Pacific Fruit Grower. RAPID GROWTH. The San Miguel Messenger says of the growth of fruit trees: "A small apple tree set last year has grown 3½ feet and a pear tree set the same time has done as well. An almond tree of that in their psychology, as in their anatomy, they approach most nearly to man." A writer to Nature, some years back, gave anecdote showing clearly that birds are at times vindictive: "One day the cat and the parrot had a quarrel—I think the cat had upset Polly's food, or something of that sort; however, they seemed all right again. An hour or so afterward, Polly, standing on the edge of the table, called out in a tone of extreme affection: 'Puss, puss! come now, come now, pussy!' Pussy went and looked up, innocently enough, when Polly with her beak seized a basin of milk standing by and tipped the basin and its contents over the cat, then chuckled diabolically. Of course it broke the basin and half drowned the cat." There are actions and habits in many of the lower forms of animal life which evince intelligence. In Sir John Lubbock's treatise on ants he says that "a stranger ant, introduced into a nest, although of the same species, is at once recognized as a foreigner, and is usually maltreated or at once put to death." Further experiments went to show that chloroformed ants were at once removed to the edge of the parade board and thrown over—in fact treated as if they were dead and removed from the living accordingly; while intoxicated ants were generally carried into the nest if they were ants connected with that community; if not, they were thrown overboard. These little animals undoubtedly have certain means of communication, as the following indicates: Mr. Beits says: "I next covered an ant with a piece of clay; several others passed it. One of them tried to pull away the clay, but was unable to do so. It immediately set off at a great rate, and I thought it had deserted its companion, but it had only gone for assistance, for in a short time about a dozen ants came hurrying up, evidently fully informed of the circumstances of the case, for they made directly for their imprisoned comrade and soon set him free." Sir John Lubbock's idea in making an ant intoxicated by a moderate amount of chloroform was to ascertain whether they had any password by which they were able to distinguish strangers—thinking that in this condition of intoxication they would be unable to remember it. But the sequel proved that there must be some other means of recognition. At first appearing much puzzled at finding their fellow creatures in this condition, they take them and carry them about for a time in a somewhat aimless manner. Darwin says the brain of an ant is one of the most marvelous bits of matter in the world. But that the brain is proportionally larger than that of any other insect. In injury to this organ causes, as in the higher animals, tetanic spasms and involuntary reflex movements, followed by stupefaction. In the case of slight injury to brain by other ants, it has caused the most remarkable phenomena. Many of the wounded were seized with mad rage and flung themselves at every one that came in their way, wheth然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然然的 A writer to Nature, some years back, gave anecdote showing clearly that birds are at times vindictive: "One day the cat and the parrot had a quarrel—I think the cat had upset Polly's food, or something of that sort; however, they seemed all right again.

The following is a quick and simple one and answers all purposes. Stack on the ground or floor ten or twelve trays of fruit (care being taken to have the fruit spread on the trays that one piece does not lie on top of the other), then place over or cover them with a wooden box, the bottom of which is open and the top and sides secure and tight. This box should be large enough to completely cover the trays so stacked and about a foot or two longer than the trays, which leaves enough room in one end to put in the burning sulphur. After this sulphur bath of about half an hour the fruit is ready to be dried. The fruit should be neither over or under ripe to make the best dried fruit, and in a climate where the nights are likely to be cold Darwin says the brain of an ant is one of the most marvelous bits of matter in the world.

Others assumed an appearance of indifference and walked serenely about in the midst of fighting. Most Excellent. J. J.

Cora refused my offer of marriage last night, and I don't care now what becomes of me. A Good Recipe for Canning Figs.—To three quarts boiling water add two heaping tablespoonfuls soda; now dip your figs in the water for one minute and skim them out; then wash them thoroughly in two or three waters; or until there is no color left in the water. To ten pounds of figs allow eight pounds of sugar; add just enough water to dissolve the sugar; when boiling hot drop in the figs, having first selected them with care so as to avoid any that are broken or over ripe; let them boil slowly two hours; now remove the figs and boil down the syrup until quite thick; replace the figs; bring all to a boiling heat; when they are ready for canning after the usual method. A few slices of lemon with its juice will improve its flavor. THE PEACH. Three and one-half pounds of sugar; one pint of vinegar; seven pounds of peaches. Wipe the peaches with a cloth to remove the down. Put three or four cloves in each peach. Boil the vinegar and sugar together. When boiling put in the peaches a few at a time, and when soft take out and drain them; put in self sealing bottles. Do not cook enough to have them fall to pieces, but they must be tender. Have the jars nearly full and fill up with the boiling vinegar; if not enough liquid take the same amount of sugar and vinegar and boil together again; if there is a surplus of the liquid bottle it and use it for seasoning mince pies. Cling stone peaches are the best; any kind of spice can be used. Some peaches are so juicy that there is sufficient liquid, with others the contrary is true; the above quantity is usually sufficient for the weight of fruit. Seal while as hot as possible. THE BEST FRUIT FOR CANNING. A. T. Hatch, President of the California Fruit Union, declares that the Bartlett pear is found to be the best for canning. Of other fruits for canning the following are enumerated: Apricots—Blenheim Peach and Royal Peaches—Nicholas Runyon, Tucson, Heath and Rosaville, among the clingstones, and Early Crawford, Foster, Susquehanna, Melway's Choice, Salway, Seller's Free, Nuir, Morris' White and Thistle Seedling, of the freestones. On the trays that one piece does not lie on top of the other), then place over or cover them with a wooden box, the bottom of which is open and the top and sides secure and tight. This box should be large enough to completely cover the trays so stacked and about a foot or two longer than the trays, which leaves enough room in one end to put in the burning sulphur. After this sulphur bath of about half an hour the fruit is ready to be dried. The fruit should be neither over or under ripe to make the best dried fruit, and in a climate where the nights are likely to be damp or foggy the trays on which the fruit is being dried should be covered or stacked every evening and uncovered in the morning. Care should be taken to get the fruit dry enough to be sure of keeping dry, but not over dry. It is a good plan to take up the fruit before very dry and place it in boxes similar to raisin sweat boxes, and allow it to sweat the same rains for a week or ten days before storing away, turning it over every two or three days. It pays better to peel the peaches, as they always bring a better price than unpeeled. A good and quick way of peeling is to have the fruit not too ripe, but firm—rather under than over ripen—then dip the fruit whole in hot lye water, putting just enough lye in the water to take off the skin by rubbing it a little. After this process the fruit is washed in pure cold water and then handled the same as apricots. For dipping in the lye water a perforated galvanized iron bucket will be found very convenient. GRAPE MUST. From J. DeBarth Shorb it is learned that two machines are oeing made, according to Dr. Springmuhl's plans, each to cost about $25,000, for condensing grape must. The copper for the vacuum pans, the essential part of the apparatus, arrived recently, and the work is going forward rapidly. The contract calls for the completion of one of the machines by September 20th and the other session during the vintage as possible. One of the machines will go to this county, and one will remain in the northern vineyard district. Each machine has several parts—a grape-crusher, an apparatus to extract the seeds and another to press the skins. The skins will be pressed and shipped with the must. Each machine will have a capacity for disposing of about 80 tons of grape a day. The process is a quick one. In about four hours from the time the grape from the vineyard are put into-the machine the condensed must will be ready for shipment, and will be shipped in barrels or casks direct to London.
