BLEACHING WALNUTS. Two formulas from the Agricultural Experiment Station at Berkeley. In June last about 30 pounds of cull nuts were sent to the Agricultural Experiment Station of the University of California at Berkeley, from the orchards of various members of the local walnut growers' association, for the purpose of subjecting them to a new and approved bleaching process, they having withstood all attempts at bleaching at the warehouse here. They were what are classed as poor nuts, and were thrown out as culls. Some days ago samples of these nuts were returned to the growers, having bleached perfectly, and being transformed into fine appearing and merchantable nuts. The following letter to Mr. Neff, giving the two formulas for bleaching to which the nuts were subjected, will be of interest to the growers at the beginning of another season. The letter is from the Agricultural Experiment Station of the University of California at Berkeley, of which E.W. Hilgard is Director, and reads as follows: BERKELEY, Cal., July 31, 1899. J. B. Neff, Anaheim, Cal.—Dear Sir: Answering your request of some weeks ago, we send you a report of the results of our work upon bleaching refuse walnuts. At the same time we are sending you a package by Wells, Fargo & Co. containing samples of nuts treated with various bleaching solutions, as per labels upon the sacks. Either of the following formulas seem to furnish satisfactory bleaches for the culls received from you: No. 1: Six pounds bleaching powder (also called chloride of lime), 12 pounds sal soda, 50 gallons water. Made by dissolving the bleaching powder in water, allowing insolubles to settle; then draw off the clear liquid and to it add the dissolved sal soda; agitate, and then allow the calcium carbonate to settle; draw off the clear liquor and make up to 50 gallons with water. This should weigh about 425 pounds avoirdupois. To bleach: Use this liquor with the nuts in it, adding sulphuric acid (strength 43 degrees B) in such quantity as not to amount to over .15 of 1 per cent absolute sulphuric acid in the whole bleaching mixture—in other words, to the 425 pounds bleaching liquid add one and one-fourth pounds EARLY MORNING FIRE. Mrs. Brusky Has a Narrow Escape from Her Burning Residence with Her Two-months-old Babe. An alarm of fire was turned in about 1:30 o'clock on Sunday morning for a fire which destroyed the residence of Albert Brusky, situated a half mile north of the Ball place, on the Landing road, about two miles west of the city. The house was built some two years ago by Mrs. Reder, and had recently come into possession of the Griffith lumber company. A mortgage was held upon the house by Louis Meyer of Los Angeles, and the insurance policy was held by him. The building was insured for a small amount in the Garden Grove farmers' insurance company. Some young men working at the canery, which had a late run on Saturday night, saw the fire, and thinking it was within the city limits, turned in a vigorous alarm, which brought the people to the streets in a hurry. All hands ran westerly in the direction of the fire, which blazed up brightly in the western heavens. Near the western city limits it was seen that the fire was a couple of miles out of town, and as the fire apparatus could be of no avail at that point, the people returned to their homes, after seeing the flames in great part subside. The only persons in the house at the time were Mrs. Brusky and her two months-old child. Her husband and the two other children were at Long Beach. Mrs. Brusky was in town on Sunday, and stated that she was awakened by the noise of the fire, which crackled the wall next her bedroom. She sprang to the door and opened it, only to be met by a flash of fire that made her retreat for safety. She picked up her baby and leapt through the rear window. The house and furniture were entirely consumed. One of the trunks contained $250 in green-backs. The only thing saved was a rocking chair, which set upon the rear porch, and a few of the baby's clothes. The neighbors gathered at the scene of the fire, and rendered such assistance as they could, but the house and its contents were entirely consumed. On Sunday the good people of this vicinity collected clothing and provisions, the destitute condition of the family having been announced from the pulpit by Rev. Stone. The clothing was taken over by W. T. Brown, who very kindly installed Mrs. Brusky and her child in a neighboring house owned by the lumber company. Mrs. Brusky desires to convey her sincere thanks to Kleinigkeiten. —Born, to the wife of George Boyd, on Sunday morning, August 13, a daughter. —Band concert again at the bandstand this evening, beginning at 8:30 o'clock. —Hahn's tally-ho will take a load of sight-seers down to the Bolsa shooting grounds tomorrow (Friday) morning, returning in the afternoon. —"Sport" Wetzel came in yesterday from San Bernardino with a camping party, on his way to Redondo Beach, to spend ten days at the seaside. —J. H. Encarl, Bob Sparks and G. W. Snyder leave tomorrow or next day, with their families, for a two weeks' camping trip to Laguna Beach. —Major M. L. Starin was in town yesterday from Los Angeles, representing the Redondo salt works. The Major sells more salt than any man in the business. —McCollum believes in expansion. He has annexed additional room in the rear of his bicycle emporium and machine shop, and has gone into the manufacture of bath tubs. —The Southern Pacific will sell tickets from Anaheim to San Francisco and return at one fare for the round trip. Open to all who desire to participate in the welcome to be given our boys on their return from Manila. Date of sale will be announced later. —Miss Arballo, the seventeen-year-old daughter of Encarnacion Arballo, living on Santa Ana street, near Lemon, died on Tuesday evening, of paralysis. She had been a victim to the malady for years. The interment will occur today. —and we forgot to say that Paul Poetsch hit the trail for pastures new, leaving numerous mourning creditors behind. Poetsch had a streak of dishonesty in him, which will probably militate against his success in life wherever he locates. Anaheim is well rid of him. Poetsch is aus ye spieldt. —the Supervisors on Monday opened bids for sprinkling the county road from the southerly city limits to the bridge across the Santa Ana river, and awarded the job to C. J. Stanley at $2.34 per day. Five bids were received as follows: C. A. Norman, $2.70 per day; J. J. Swartzbough, $2.42; J. W. Duckworth, $2.50; R. B. Luther, $2.50; C. J. Stanley, $2.34. The contract lasts during the pleasure of the board. —Articles of incorporation have been filed with the County Clerk by Made by dissolving the bleaching powder in water, allowing insolubles to settle; then draw off the clear liquid and to it add the dissolved sal soda; agitate, and then allow the calcium carbonate to settle; draw off the clear liquor and make up to 50 gallons with water. This should weigh about 425 pounds avoiddups. To bleach: Use this liquor with the nuts in it, adding sulphuric acid (strength 43 degrees B) in such quantity as not to amount to over .15 of 1 per cent absolute sulphuric acid in the whole bleaching mixture—in other words, to the 425 pounds bleaching liquid add one and one-fourth pounds sulphuric acid of the strength 43 degrees B, i.e., 50 per cent acid. The culls treated with this mixture 5 to 10 seconds and washed with water are marked No. 1. They seem to be uninjured in any way. No. 2.—25 pounds bleaching powder, 18 pounds sal soda, 50 gallons of water; compounded as above for No. 1. This should weigh 430 pounds avoiddupois. To bleach, use this liquor with sulphuric acid at the rate of one and one-fourth pounds per 50 gallons. The nuts treated with this mixture, 5 to 10 seconds and washed with water, are marked No. 2. They appear to be properly bleached and uninjured. Another experiment was made with solution No. 2, to determine how many times it would act with fresh additions of sulphuric acid at the rate of one and one-fourth pounds per 50 gallons. The liquor, after bleaching nuts once, was again turned upon fresh culls, and acid added. At the end of 10 seconds the result was that the culls were bleached about one-half as well as the first lot. The liquor was used again with fresh nuts and acid three and even four times. Some bleaching effect was noticeable in each case. It would seem, in practice upon nuts fresh from the orchard, that successful results might be expected by using the same bleaching liquor over and over three or four times upon fresh lots of nuts and acid. All of the above experiments can, of course, be repeated exactly in practice, but our attempt only shows what can be accomplished with the culls you sent. It may be that you will obtain very good working tests with less sulphuric acid. Yours truly, GEO. E. COLBY. Approved: E. J. Wickson, Acting Director. GARDEN GROVE.

You have given me an excellent shave, and you may take out an extra nickel from this quarter for a cigar." The Professor sized up his man as a five-cent hombre, and eyeing him intently out of the corner of his optic, remarked solemnly: "I don't smoke five-cent cigars; sonny; I only smoke ten-centers."

William Williams of the Peat whose record while in liquor is not good with the local officers, drove into town on Monday afternoon with a load of hay, which he desired to sell. Mr Williams seems to have forgotten all about his hay when once the glamor of the town beset his path, and his imbibitions brought out the fighting instinct that is latent in him, and he desired a battle with one of the carpenters at work on the new depot buildings. Mr Williams was polished off to the queen's taste, and was tenderly escorted to the back yard and precipitated into the darkness. He succeeded in regaining his feet and sought to climb a tall picket fence, when he lost his balance and fell from the top of the pickets to the cement sidewalk below He seemed to be unhurt, and after walking half a block away returned to the scene of the trouble and essayed to renew hostilities, when Marshal Steadman hove in sight and marched him onto jail. He was released on his own re cognizance on Tuesday morning, and it is supposed returned to his home with his load of hay." Maleinigkeiten.
