Albert Koebele, agent of the State Board of Horticulture, returned from the colonies on Thursday last. He was sent to Australia to collect parasites that would destroy the scale bug, which is such a pest in California. "I was very successful," said Prof. Koebele, "and have brought up a large number of parasites which the State Board of Horticulture will distribute. I think that by their means we will be able to eradicate the scale bug in California. The phylloxera is very bad all over Australia. Down there they do not know anything about resistant stock, and their only cure is to tear the whole vineyard up. All over the south coast, the blight is playing terrible minutes.

Down there they do not know anything about resistant stock, and their only cure is to tear the whole vineyard up. All over the south seas the blight is playing terrible havoc with the fruit. In Fiji the cocosanut, palm and the banana trees are all eaten up, and the same can be said in a measure about Tonga, Tongataba and Samoa. The leaves are eaten off the tree, and the fruit withers and falls to the ground. The orange trees in many instances have been attacked by the scale, and the quantity of fruit exported from the islands has fallen off very much. California treat sells well in the colonies, and the falling off of the supply from the islands will help us." The Temptation To go out of doors in rough weather is not strong, but we are, many of us, compelled to face rough weather frequently. Diseases which arise from a chill are peculiar to no season of the year. This is true, therefore there should be in the closet of every household—what! Not an unmedicated stimulant, absolutely devoid of anything but an excitative action, but a tonic combining, in the effective form of an invigorant and an alternative, the quality of defense against changes of weather. Hostetter's Stomach fitters has three or four properties that no other article of its class possesses. Not only does it relieve thrombosis which it eventually causes; it fortifies the system against the bad effects of changes of temperature, fatality and too often shown in the deadly form of "la gippe." It produces a radical change in the weakened condition of a system peculiarly liable to be attacked by it, and it tends to provide against the danger resulting from an impoverished condition of the blood and a disordered state of the liver or bowels.

The 5 per cent americaw was proposed by its friends rather than the defeat of the bill. The object of course, was to make nominations by involve so much labor that few would be made. The Planet Mars. The planet Mars, which may be distinguished in the early evening southeastern sky, is now in opposition its perihelion, and is less than 34,00 miles distant from the earth. Such tance seems enormous to one who is customed to measure terrestrial spaces is very much less than the usual diat Mars, and it enables astronomers much more of the planet than they get do. All over the world the great telain observatories are directed to the which is our nearest neighbor except discovery of the satelliteites of Mars, was made some years ago at the observatory at Washington, and to if possible, Schiaparelli's theory of Mars. The first has been done. The elites have been seen both from Hamilton and from Washington; the servers at the former place are now on endeavoring to determine their distance As the largest of the two is supposed to a diameter of only some sixty miles ticulity of measuring such a minute obtailed a distance of 34,000,000 miles will be coiciated. On the second field of inquiry thapect of results is not encouraging. The face of the planet appears to be partly and partly red. Schiaparelli and other tronomers have assumed that the dark are water and the red spots land that the changes in the relative area at two indicate works of excavation or organization on the planet. Among the rank and file of mankind question which leaps to the lips what planets are under discussion is, Are they habited? And if so, by what man creatures? To these questions the laws is about as well able to propose a rea astronomer.

Christopher Gomber to Thyge Anderson -Lot 9, block B, Kraemer tract; $1 Cast Away in the Pacific. A horrible story of shipwreck and suffering in an open boat under a tropical sun comes from the coast of Mexico. It throws new light upon the brig Tabiti, and her cargo of Gilbert Islanders, men, women and children, who were taken from the South Sea to work on coffee plantations in Mexico. Last September the Tabiti put into Drakes Bay, near San Francisco, having been blown many hundred miles off her course. She was short of water and provisions, and was sadly in need of repairs. Aboard were nearly 400 Gilbert Islanders crowded into a space sufficient for half that number, and there were also Capt. Furguson and his wife, H. H. Leavitt, a New York lawyer and a young physician, Dr. John Gibson of San Francisco, Gibson left the ship and so did the Furgusons. Leavitt, who was really the speculator in this labor venture, remained aboard and took on a new Captain named Paulsen. The port officials made a feeble attempt to seize the Tabiti, but she got away and sailed for her destination, San Behito, Mexico. The next heard of her was in October, when the steamer Roseville sighted her floating bottom up off the Mexican coast. War ships, steamers and sailing vessels have hunted for possible survivors without success. Even the wreck is lost somewhere on the Pacific. Now comes the strange story. Leon Martell, an illiterate Mexican, is the narrator. He has just come from Manzanville, Mexico, where he spent several months. Four months ago, while up the coast sixty miles from there, he heard of and visited two shipwrecked men. One was a Russian Finn named Johansen, and the other a Gilbert Islander. They said that they were on board the Tabiti when she capized in a heavy squall on the night of October 10, and was bottom up inside of five tronomers have assumed that the darkare water and the red spots landthat the changes in the relative area are two indicate works of excavation or reization on the planet. Among the rank and file of mankind, question which leaps to the lips whiplanets are under discussion is, Are thahabited? And if so, by what manucreatures? To these questions the lair is about as well able to propound a reathe astronomer. No astronomical obtains have ever made the smallest proward ascertaining the fact whether theror is not life in the planets. Reasonianalogy, the thinker argues that toopicked out the planet on which we live, the sole abode of life in the solar uniimplies a caprice which is not recourse with the uniform operation of the lair nature. We find in the world that wavever the conditions were adapted for thainstance of life life came, from what cansource we know not. In like many soene reasonable to assume that whence planet was suited for the reception oimate beings they made their appear, while some of the orbs in our system coased to be inhabitable by any racreatures which we can coceive and do orbs are apparently in the stage wiprecede inhabitability, others again, sent the same conditions as are observaworld, and are prasumably, fitted receptacles of life. Speculative phophers, reasoning from abstract theory not from deduction, have thus almost vincued themselves that the planeta wi circle near the earth must be inhabited. When shall we know the truth oi matter? We have not made a single step to actual intercourse with the planeta spheres since a sanguine philosophy posed to telegraph through space by mea- gging gigantic diagrams drawn on flat space Siberia. But in modern science there is such word as impossible. We may at distant period communicate with our mora bins in space. It is, however, hard to how it could be done. Meanwhile love learning and of the marvelous will find cupation for their thoughts in studying at his present opposition. A Trainload of Gold. A special train composed of five cars, with gold from the United States Sub Tury in San Francisco, left that city for East last Friday evening. The treasure probably the largest amount ever shi- across the continent. The supposition that the amount is at least $20,000,000, shipment was made quietly and was charge of Government officials. Early urday morning the train had crossed The boat in which Johansen to have made his escape was on top house, and floated off when the brig. Four others, three men and a all Gilbert Islanders, climbed in. They had neither food nor water by three oars. When daylight came was out of sight. The fourth day the woman died and were forced to eat portions of her keep themselves alive. For the days after leaving the brig it blew gale and the men had all they to prevent the boat from being. Several heavy showers fell, but little good, as what fell in the boat caught in their clothing was mixed with salt spray that constantly flew over. Then the sun came out and beat on the tenth day and finally into the sea. Four days later Islander died and the two survivors from overboard. That night it rained the suffering man caught enough quench their thirst. The next day was left of the body of the woman was overboard. On the morning of October sixteenth days after the ill-fated brig, the boat was cast ashore, and than alive the men crawled out of laid down on the beach. They were the huts of some fisherman near it was there Martell found them. Under had recovered from his experi- johnsen was still sick. Under the New Ballot Law. Cry of State Waite has defined the Prohibition party under the not law. While it is not clear that prohibition party polled 3 per cent of the vote cast at the last election, it is that General Bidwell, the Pro-candidate for Governor, received an required proportion. As no means by which to determine how many votes were cast for Gen- well as the Prohibition candidate Sierras, and was moving down the grade be- beyond Truckee. One of the cars which com-posed the train was dropped off at Ogden. The other cars were sent out from the east, one from the Lake Shore; one from the Union Pacific, and one from the Burlington. Fifty-one men, nearly all from the railway mail service, were on the train as guards. Capt. Jas. E. White of Washington was in charge. The men were well armed and instructed to take the beat care of the coin. The coins were packed in several hundred little boxes. The transfer of the coin to the cars was conducted quietly. The gold was principally stored in two Union Pacific cars, constructed of wrought steel, and supposed to be bullet and bomb proof. The boxes containing the treasure were made of inch board, and measured about 10 by 14 inches. Considerable speculation has been indulged in as to the government's motive for making large shipment of gold, and one explanation given, is that in consequence of the realization on American securities held abroad, foreign holders have recently taken much of the gold circulated in the east, and more is required to guard against any disturbance of the necessary financial equilibrium. The total amount of gold and silver in the United States Treasury reaches the enormous sum of nearly $704,000,000. No equal amount of treasure was ever held by a single government or nation in its vanilla. The greatest sum contained in the Roman Treasury was probably that seized by Julius Caesar and estimated at $375,000,000. In 1889 the specie reserve of all the banks of the United Kingdom amounted to $140,000,000. But the Bank of England, which is practically the Treasury of Great Britain, only held $89,000,000. The Bank of France, which is the depository of the French Government and in addition does a general banking business, had treasure in its vanilla to the amount of $505,000,000 in 1890, and this sum $200,000,000 less than held by the United States Treasury, is perhaps the second greatest mass of specie in the world. Game and Fish Laws. The Acts relative to game and fish as department of State it is said that the United States has exercised jurisdictional right over the island since 1858, when the American Guano Company landed a party threepen and occupied it. Territorial jurisdiction, however, has never been claimed by the United States, and the island has never been annexed. The United States would exert its jurisdictional rights over the island, to protect the guano company in pursuit of its business, but it is said there would be no conflict with the territorial jurisdiction set forward by any other government. In case the guano company abandoned operations on the island, this Government would have no jurisdiction whatever over it. America's Four Hundredth Birthday. President Harrison, complying with the Act of June 29, has issued his proclamation making Friday, October 21, a general holiday. This is in recognition of the movement to put the celebration of the 400th anniversary of the discovery of America into the hands of all the people by giving it to the institution closest to the people and most characteristic of the people—the public school. The movement was undertaken by the National Educational Association, through an executive committee, which has so presented it as to gain the endorsement of the press and general popular acceptance in the advance of this proclamation. The proclamation is as follows: Whereas, by a joint resolution approved June 29, 1892, it was resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, "That the President of the United States be authorized and directed to issue a proclamation recommending to the people observation in all their localities of the 400th anniversary of the discovery of America, on October 21, 1892, by public demonstration and by suitable exercises in their schools and other places of assembly"; Now therefore I, Benjamin Harrison, President of the United States It was there Martell found them, and he had recovered from his experition Johansen was still sick. Under the New Ballot Law, theary of State Waite has defined the of the Prohibition party under the not law. While it is not clear that prohibition party polled 3 per cent of the vote cast at the last election, it is that General Bidwell, the Procandidate for Governor, received an required proportion. As is no means by which to determine how many votes were cast for Genwell as the Prohibition candidate, any as the American candidate, and any on personal grounds, Mr. Waite the best way is to allow the Procitation their party standing. It will enable and do no harm. Nominations could be made if a place on the ballot was denied the party. While ballot law requires nomination by to be signed by 5 per cent of the party polling 3 per cent has a place ticket. The 5 per cent amendment posed by the enemies of the bill and by its friends rather than to risk it of the bill. The object of it, of has to make nominations by petition so much labor that few or none made. The Planet Mars. Planet Mars, which may be easily shown in the early evening in the cern sky, is now in opposition, near eclation, and is less than 34,000,000 mant from the earth. Such a distension enormous to one who is not accepted to measure terrestrial spaces, but it is much less than the usual distance of and it enables astronomers to see of the planet than they generally over the world the great telescopes stories are directed to the planet our nearest neighbor except Venus. A nation is first directed to confirm the of the satellites of Mars, which are some years ago at the naval station at Washington, and to verify, Schiaparelli's theory of the canals. The first has been done. The satsive been seen both from Mount and from Washington; the object of the former place are now engaged during to determine their diameter. The rest of the two is supposed to have or of only sixety miles the difmeasuring such a minute object at 34,000,000 miles will be apresecond field of inquiry the proxussibility is not encouraging. The surprise planet appears to be partly dark red. Schiaparelli and other asspectors have assumed that the dark spots and the red spots land, and changes in the relative area of the date works of excavation or canalizing the planet. The rank and file of mankind in which leaps to the lips when the no wonder discussion is, Are they inAnd if so, by what manner. To these questions the layman well able to propose a reply as sooner. No astronomical observaver made the smallest progress containing the fact whether there is life in the planets. Reasoning by this thicker argues that to have hit the planet on which we live as consisted of 520 tons of gold and 700 tons of silver. In 1898 the specie reserve of all the banks of the United Kingdom amounted to $140,000,000. But the Bank of England, which is practically the Treasury of Great Britain, only held $89,000,000. The Bank of France, which is the depository of the French Government and in addition does a general banking business, had treasure in its valueto the amount of $505,000,000 in 1890, and this sum, $200,000,000 less than held by the United States Treasury, is perhaps the second greatest mass of specie in the world. Game and Fish Laws. The Acts relative to game and fish as amended by the last Legislature will be found of interest at this time, and are as follows: Every person who, in the State of California, between the first day of March and the first day of October, in each year, hunts, pursues, takes, kills, or destroys any quail, partridge, or grouse, or any kind of wild duck or rail, is guilty of a misdemeanor. Every person who, in any of the counties of the State of California, at any time, takes, gathers, or destroys the eggs of any quail, partridge, or grouse, or mallard duck, or any kind of summer duck, red head, teal, or any gray duck, or any other kind of wild duck, is guilty of a misdemeanor. Every person who, in the State of California, between the first day of January and the first day of July of each year, hunts, pursues, takes, kills, or destroys doves, is guilty of a misdemeanor. Every person who, in any of the counties of the State of California, hunts, pursues, kills, or destroys any male deer, antelope, mountain sheep or bock, for the period of two years from the date of the passage of this Act, is guilty of a misdemeanor. Every person in the State of California who has in his possession any green hides or any green skins of any deer, elk, antelope, or mountain sheep killed after the passage of this Act, and before the expiration of two years from the date of the passage of this Act, is guilty of a misdemeanor. Every person in the State of California who at any time hunts, pursues, kills, or destroys any female deer, antelope, elk mountain sheep or doe shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. Every person who shall at any time hunt, pursue, take, kill, or destroy any spotted fawn is guilty of a misdemeanor. Every person who shall take, kill, or destroy any of the animals or birds mentioned in this section at any time unless the carcass of such animal or bird is used or preserved by the person taking or slaying it, or is sold for food is guilty of a misdemeanor. Every person who shall buy, sell, offer or expose for sale, transport or carry; or have in his possession any deer or deerkin; or any hide, or pelт from which the evidence of sex has been removed; or any of the aforesaid game at a time when it is unlawful to kill the same; as provided by this and subsequent sections is guilty of a misdemeanor. Every person who takes, catches, or kills, or exposes for sale, or has in his possession, any speckled trout; brook or salmon trout, or any variety of trout; between the first day of November and the first day of April in the following year; except salmon trout taken with rod and line in tide water is guilty of a misdemeanor. Fishing for salmon shad; etc., between six o'clock Saturday evening and sundown of succeeding Sunday; prohibited. Fishing by explosives; or by pound, weir, cage; trap or set net; prohibited. Ex-Governor Downey has begun suit in press and general popular acceptance in the advance of this proclamation. The proclamation is as follows: Whereas, by a joint resolution approved June 29, 1892 it was resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, "That the President of the United States be authorized and directed to issue a proclamation recommending to the people the observance in all their localities of the 400th anniversary of the discovery of America; on October 21, 1892 by public demonstration and by suitable exercises in their schools and other places of assembly"; Now therefore I. Benjamin Harrison, President of the United States of America, in pursuance of the aforesaid joint resolution, do hereby appoint Friday; October 21, 1892, the 400th anniversary of the discovery of America by Columbus; as a general holiday for the people of the United States. On that day let the people; so far as possible; cease from toil and devote themselves to such ex-ercises as may best express honor to the discoverer and their appreciation of the great achievements of four completed centuries of American life. Columbus stood in his age as the pioneer of progress and enlightenment. The system of universal education is in our age most prominent and salutary feature of the spirit of enlightenment; and it is peculiarly appropriate that the schools be made by people centre of the day's demonstration. Let the national flag float over every schoolhouse in the country and the exercises be such as shall impress upon our youth the patriotic duties of American citizenship. In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the city of Washington this 21st day of July; in the year one Lord one thousand eight hundred and ninety-two; and of the independence of the United States she one hundred and seventeenth.

Congress by its recent Act; fixed October 21st as a national school holiday for the celebration of four hundredth anniversary of the discovery of America. But by the Act of April 1890; October 12th is named as the day for the dedicatory exercises of World's Fair at Chicago. As both of these observances commemorate the same event, one of dates should be corrected. The Pope has also named October 12th; or the following Sunday; as time for special religious services in commemoration of the great event. Then there is proclamation of President Harrison appointing Friday, October 21st as the day to be observed as the Columbian anniversary. This is to be a general holiday. The fact is historical that Columbus did discover land on the 12th OF October. At that time world was using Julian calendar which made no difference between true year and 365 days. It was not until the year 1751 that The Gregorian calendar was adopted, which corrected error of time; making Julian calendar of October 12th The Gregorian one OF October 21st. This calendar is now in use by nearly all European nations.

No astronomical observation made the smallest progress containing the fact whether there is life in the planets. Reasoning by the thinker argues that to have the planet on which we live as abode of life in the solar universe caprice which is not reconcilable uniform operation of the laws of We find in the world that where-conditions were adapted for the exotic life came, from what cause or know not.
