The Bigness of the Ocean:
Some people gratefully reflect we owe the clouds and the tides the winds to the "Mother and Son men," but these are less number than the folks who "would like know" what we should do for and cod and mackerel if there were ocean. Yet think only how big if you divide the whole globe's into 11 parts, the sea covers eight those, with an average depth of fathoms. Try to imagine 12,000 solid, perpendicular sea water upon eight-elevenths of the planet!
A patient mathematician has been the paints to inform us that this brine would weigh one and a million million millions of tons. The most part this vast body of thus set down in figures as 1,500,000,000,000 tons—is of the composition everywhere, and as a body knows, carries great quantity of ocean salt.
But that same salt is itself single complex. Not only are there chlorides and sulphates of soot, magnesium and lime, are familiar to many, but it coals also silica, boron, bromide, lodine acid and the oxides of nickel balt, manganese, zinc, silver, lead per, aluminium, barium and titium. Arsenic and gold are also in it, along with those rare metals; rubidium and cesium.-L Telegraph.

WHERE THE BLUE CHANNAL FLOWS.
Many Acres of Rich Peat Land Being Reclaimed by the Recess of Salt Water at the Bolsa Chica Bottoms.
John Cole is an honest farmer of the Peat. He lives upon a picturesque hill top overlooking the ocean at Bolsa Chica. Across the waters the island of Catalina rises placidly from the sea. The sun glints like a thread of silver through the clouds, lighting up the waters here and there in a manner to tempt the painter's brush. To the right, far as the eye can see, the waters of the ocean roll, till they mingle in the distance with the horizon. To the left and before one, the rich bottom lands that are being reclaimed by the lowering of the salt waters roll away into the hundreds upon hundreds of acres. Here rich celery fields will in future greet the eye. The land is the richest peat. It extends on the south to the verge of the tide land, but as the salt water has receded, the fresh water from the drainage ditches have come in; and where the lands have been properly drained, the result is that many acres of the richest peat land are being reclaimed.
Mr. Cole's ranch runs to the north line of the Bolsa Chica Land company. The tracts adjoin, and the southerly portion of his property, which a year ago was so saturated with water that it was practically abandoned, is now plowed and ready for a crop of potatoes. Indeed, so well has the work of reclamation gone on, that on a part of the land a crop of corn was raised last Fall.
Mr. Cole says he has reclaimed five acres of swamp land, which a year ago would "bog a snake." It looks more overflowed it. He at that time was one of the most enthusiastic opponents of the gun club and the dock, and at the hearing before the Supervisors he led the Peatlanders in an attack upon the company and its structure spanning the channel a mile and a half away. If any one had cause to object to the dock, Cole was that man. Being the nearest farmer to the club grounds, the backing water naturally overflowed his land, and caused him no little concern. But when the outlet was opened properly, the waters began immediately to recede, and have continued until now a tract of five acres has been plowed and prepared for planting, which a year ago a mau could not walk across.
Now that he finds the dock, so far from damaging his property, has been of material benefit to him by reclaiming a tract of valuable peatland, he has refused to join in the clamor created by some of the residents of the Peat, and is content to let matters rest as they are. His farm is thoroughly cultivated. He raises celery, potatoes, corn and vegetables, and the place seems an ideal spot for a prosperous ranchman's home.
Looking across country, one sees the palatial club house of the Bolsa Chica gun club, not more than a mile away. To the right is a tree-lined avenue where a number of cottages will be erected this summer. So far as scenery and pure air are concerned, Mr. Cole and family may reckon themselves quite as fortunate as the members of the gun club.
Last summer the Peatlanders, led by a blatherskite whose purpose seems to be to create trouble, formed a drainage district, ostensibly to drain their lands, but really to locate their discharging canal in the center of the dock, to the end that it be removed.
The history of the blatherskite is too well known to require recapitulation.
SOME FRUITS OF THE
The Loquat Ripens Earliest, and Consequently Be Profitable if Properly Grown.
In a semi-tropical region we plant and make a specialty tropical fruits. This seems self but by not observing this fruit much money has been wasted in eastern California.
When deciding what to fruit grower should consider things: First, will the fruit stand, will it grow well? This bear every year? Now, with ception of this citrus group any fruit commonly planted in of the State that will come up three requirements? I do not any. It is not my purpose in order to confine myself to the loquat although that is the most important but to mention also some other fruit which do have the abjunction very desirable qualities it is yet possible to know about.
The loquat or photinia Jap fruit with which most of you well acquainted, and which growing in popular favor. first met with it, some sixtego ago, the characteristic white me most forcibly was that it in the fall months and ripened in the spring. Why it does not know, and if any one has to offer it would be very interesting hear it now. As a consequence extraordinary inversion of that it becomes the earliest of all which bear but one crop each comes on the market at a manageable time—i.e., from February with the bulk of the crop w April and May. At that time year almost any fresh fruit prices.
The Bigness of the Ocean, some people gratefully reflect that above the clouds and the tides and winds to the "Mother and Maker men," but these are less numerous in the folks who "would like to know what we should do for soils good and mackerel if there were no snail. Yet think only how big it is you divide the whole globe's area 11 parts, the sea covers eight of it, with an average depth of 2,000 meters. Try to imagine 12,000 feet of perpendicular sea water lying on eight-elevenths of the entire ocean.
Patient mathematician has been at pains to inform us that this bulk urine would weigh one and a half million millions of tons. For most part this vast body of water was set down in figures as 1,500,000,-100,000,000 tons—is of the same position everywhere, and as everybody knows, carries great quantities of salt.
That same salt is itself singularlyplex. Not only are there in it brides and sulphates of sodium, ash, magnesium and lime, which familiar to many, but it contains silica, boron, bromide, iodine, fluoride and the oxides of nickel, manganese, zinc, silver, lead, copper, aluminium, barium and strontium. Arsenile and gold are also found along with those rare metals lithium-rubidium and cesium.—London graph.

Indefinite notice which attracts the attention many sojourners in a New Hampshire town is posted on the wall of the railway station. The paper on which it is printed bears evidence of its honorable service: Notice: Loafing either in or about room is strictly forbidden, and must be observed.
Mr. Cole's ranch runs to the north line of the Bolsa Chica Land company. The tracts adjoin, and the southerly portion of his property, which a year ago was so saturated with water that it was practically abandoned, is now plowed and ready for a crop of potatoes. Indeed, so well has the work of reclamation gone on, that on a part of the land a crop of corn was raised last Fall.
Mr. Cole says he has reclaimed five acres of swamp land, which a year ago would "bog a snake." It looks more like seven acres, but he is conservative and calls it five. Twelve months ago one could no more walk across the swamp than he "could take a pair of wings and fly," as Mr. Cole says. A day or two ago a representative of this journal, in company of the owner of the land and another gentleman, drove in a heavy farm wagon in several directions over the land, which was plowed for the first time in August last. The land is as firm as the soil on the upland, and has that "springy" formation characteristic of the peat. Where the plow has turned the furrow, cracks in the soil eighteen inches deep reveal no standing water, even though copious rains have fallen, and large quantities of water have run off the upland water shed. In depressed places puddles of water were found standing. The heavy team was driven directly across them, but the result was much the same as driving over puddles in the county road. The horses did not "bog," showing the water did not come from underneath, but was surface water, caused by the rains.
Mr. Cole owns a tract of forty acres, much of it being in the bottoms which until the erection of the dock across the channel at Bolsa Chica by the land company of that name was overflowed or swampy. Since the construction of the dam, which shuts out the salt water, and at ebb tide opens its spillway automatically to low water mark, the plane of salt saturation lowered so that many acres of marshy land in the neighborhood are being reclaimed.
Along the south line of Mr. Cole's land the gun club has constructed a levee, or roadway, leading from the bluff three miles easterly to Smeltizer. The material for the levee had to be hauled in a year ago, before the tidal channels had been shut out by the dock. The task was one of magnitude, as well as expense, and required a large force of men working several weeks to get it in shape to admit of travel over it.
The roadway is today as firm and hard as any thoroughfare in the county. Along each side a ditch eighteen inches deep shows the water to be standing a foot and a half below the level of the road. The land to the north of the levee, or roadway, has been plowed and is ready for a crop of potatoes. The soil to the south of the roadway, which is covered with a crop of salt grass, is cracked in many places, showing its dryness, which is caused by the receding waters of the bay.
A ditch across the levee, fitted with a culvert for vehicles and passing traffic, contains a sluggish stream of water acres of the richest peatland are being reclaimed.

The roadway is today as firm and hard as any thoroughfare in the county. Along each side a ditch eighteen inches deep shows the water to be standing a foot and a half below the level of the road. The land to the north of the levee, or roadway, has been plowed and is ready for a crop of potatoes. The soil to the south of the roadway, which is covered with a crop of salt grass, is cracked in many places, showing its dryness, which is caused by the receding waters of the bay.
A ditch across the levee, fitted with a culvert for vehicles and passing traffic, contains a sluggish stream of water which scarcely moves along. Looking across the salt grass for half a mile the eye is met with numerous indications of the recession of the tidal waters. The grass is dry, the ground is cracked, and the channels which flow at intervals through the land contain shallow water, moving slowly, and some show traces of drying up.
On the east line of Mr. Cole's place, the celebrated "Blue Channel" of the Peatland drainage district flows 150 inches of sweet water into the bay a mile away. The water runs swiftly, in distinguished contrast to the water in the salt drains. It comes from Westminster, and before reaching the Cole ranch, traverses six or seven miles. The channel was last year cleaned by the gun club, and as a result the water runs with an accelerated velocity.
Mr. Cole has on his tract of peatland no less than half a dozen springs, one of these being sulphur, but he has constructed an admirable system of drainage, and the surplus water is conducted into the ditches flowing into the bay. A year ago, before the outlet of the bay had been properly constructed, the tidal waters backed onto his land and
Drying preparations simply develop dry catarrh; they dry up the secretions, which adher to the membrane and decompose, causing a far more serious trouble than the ordinary form of catarrh.

SOME FRUITS OF THE SOUTH.
The Loquat Ripens Earliest, and Should Consequently Be Profitable,
if Properly Grown.
In a semi-tropical region we should plant and make a specialty of semicropical fruits. This seems self-evident, but by not observing this fact fully, much money has been wasted in Southern California.
When deciding what to plant the fruit grower should consider three things: First, will the fruit sell? Second, will it grow well? Third, will it bear every year? Now, with the exception of the citrus group is there any fruit commonly planted in this part of the State that will come up to those three requirements? I do not think of any. It is not my purpose in this paper to confine myself to the loquat alone, although that is the most important, but to mention also some other kinds of fruit which do have the above mentioned very desirable qualities so far as it is yet possible to know about them.
The loquat or photinia Japonica is a fruit with which most of you are fairly well acquainted, and which is fast growing in popular favor. When I first met with it, some sixteen years ago, the characteristic which struck me most forcibly was that it blossomed in the fall months and ripened its fruit in the spring. Why it does this I do not know, and if any one has a theory to offer it would be very interesting to hear it now. As a consequence of this extraordinary inversion of the seasons, it becomes the earliest of all the fruits which bear but one crop each year, and comes on the market at a most favorable time—i.e., from February to June, with the bulk of the crop usually in April and May. At that time of the year almost any fresh fruit brings good prices.
said, in part: "The plant is somewhat the size of a tomato vine. The flowers are very numerous, of a violet color, and are charming when used as floral decorations. The fruit is the size of a hen or goose egg or even larger, the interior is a solid pulp like a pear and of taste resembling a melon, and besides has a most charming acid, so wholesome and delicious that when the fruit is partaken of on a warm day it allays the thirst for several hours."
You will notice that the specimen which I now show you is seedless. That indicates, I believe, that like the banana it has been long in cultivation. If so, there must be a reason for it, for no fruit is grown until seedless unless it is very good. My experience fully corroborates the introducer's description.
After a little experimenting I found that the fruit ripened on the vine is not the best, but that by picking when nearly ripe and keeping in a dark place until mellow there was a great improvement, and instead of being, as some claim, "like a cross between a cucumber and a melon, and not equal to either," it was really a fine fruit, tasting somewhat of the melon to be sure, but of more delicate flesh, and possessing a peculiar flavor such as no melon ever had, which one soon learns to like and long for. The best way to prepare them for the table is to cut up with sugar. They also make very acceptable stew.
It is a great bearer. I counted over sixty small ones on one vine only yesterday. As a keeper it is all that could be desired. I have one here which was picked three months ago. In fact they ought to be kept several weeks to be at their best. I have not yet tested its selling qualities to any great extent but I believe that it would soon become popular if introduced, and that it would pay to raise it on a large scale in spots.
LOCAL NOTES OF INTEREST.
Death of G. Hilmer.
A letter received from W. A. Hilmer of San Francisco, of date January 30th, brings the sad news of the death in that city, Friday, January 25th, of his father, Charles Henry Ludwig Hilmer, formerly of Anaheim. He was aged 69 years and 10 days. The funeral occurred on Tuesday, January 29th, from his residence, 510B Fulton street.
Mr. Hilmer was for many years a resident of Anaheim; where his many friends will learn of his death with unfeigned sorrow.
Deceased leaves a widow and family of grown-up children to mourn his loss, they being Kate L., Rosalie M., Charles Henry, Jr., William A., Frank E., Fred. L., Emma H. and Louis O. Hilmer.
He was a brother of Fred. Hilmer of Bremen, Germany; Louis Hilmer of Petaluma, Cal.; Rev. Herman Hilmer of Hanover, Germany; and Louisa Rothkoppel of Burgdorf, Germany.
He was a native of the latter place, and was a member of Madera Lodge, No. 279, A. O. U. W.
The bereaved family have the condolence of their many friends in this city, where the deceased was held in high esteem for his many upright qualities.
Grand Jurors.

Ago, the characteristic which struck me most forcibly was that it blossomed in the fall months and ripened its fruit in the spring. Why it does this I do not know, and if any one has a theory so offer it would be very interesting to hear it now. As a consequence of this extraordinary inversion of the seasons, it becomes the earliest of all the fruits which bear but one crop each year, and comes on the market at a most favorable time—i.e., from February to June, with the bulk of the crop usually in April and May. At that time of the year almost any fresh fruit brings good prices.
But the value of the loquat does not rest on this basis alone. By careful selection new varieties have been latently originated, especially one called the Advance, which would be popular at any season. In a paper read at the Farmer's Institute at Orange a few months ago, I presented the especial claims of this variety and a number of testimonials of the highest character as to its value. It is a good shipper and can be sent across the continent safely.
There has recently grown to be quite a demand for the loquat to make jelly on a commercial scale, and it has proved to be the most popular of all jellies except the loganberry. In an essay on the loquat which I have found in the eleventh report of the Fruit Growers' convention held at National City April 19, 1889, Dr. S. K. Kellam of Tustin says: "There is no jelly that combines all the points that go to please the taste comparable to the loquat." This was eleven years ago; loganberries were not known then, and so the doctor was quite right, but as is usually the case, it takes time for merit of any kind to be fully recognized and tested.
The Advance loquat is a good grower and a very prolific and regular bearer. My trees of bearing age have never failed to set a good crop; I think that is the universal experience. There are other varieties of great merit, but none which have proved to be quite equal to the Advance in every respect.
The range of the loquat is co-extensive with the orange and it shows about the same tendency to be early or late according to the locality. For this reason I should favor planting it on higher lands so as to secure the benefit of the earlier ripening.
The Grenadila or Passiflora edulis is an edible variety of the passion vine. It is also called "passion fruit," and sometimes the word "Australian" is prefixed, "Australian Passion Fruit." because it is better known and appreciated in Australia than elsewhere. You see by these specimens that it is an oval fruit, about the size of a hen's egg, of a violet color when ripe, the skin tough and leathery, requiring to be cut with a knife. Inside is a greenish-yellow pulpy mass of seeds of a very agreeable mandrake or May apple flavor or aroma. It is the pulp that is edible, but I do not believe many in this audience would care much for more than one taste. Yet it is the most delicious fruit when rightly prepared—i.e., with sugar and cream. This is a combination which would hardly suggest itself to one, but it is undoubtedly the right thing. The possessing a peculiar flavor such as no melon ever had, which one soon learns to like and long for. The best way to prepare them for the table is to cut up with sugar. They also make very acceptable stew.
It is a great bearer. I counted over sixty small ones on one vine only yesterday. As a keeper it is all that could be desired. I have one here which was picked three months ago. In fact they ought to be kept several weeks to be at their best. I have not yet tested its selling qualities to any great extent but I believe that it would soon become popular if introduced, and that it would pay to raise it on a large scale in spots nearly free from frost, or where it could be protected on the few nights when frost is likely to occur.
The Loganberry—I take it for granted that you are pretty well acquainted with this fruit and so will not describe it. While not a semi-tropical fruit exclusively, it is practically a California specialty, and I introduce it here for that reason. So far as I have able to ascertain there is no part of the United States where it proves to be a success, except on the Pacific slope. Combining as it does a ready sale, good growth and great productivity, it should be extensively planted. There is a great future for it for making jams, jellies and preserves. For jelly it has no superior. Its color and flavor make it an excellent substitute for the raspberry, which it far excels in size. For these reasons, especially because it has such a comparatively limited field for production, one can hardly make a mistake in planting it on a large scale.
With the Loganberry I conclude this paper, though there are a number of other semi-tropical fruits of great promise which ought to be mentioned. We ought some day to see the warm corners of Southern California, some of which are many miles in extent, planted to these choice fruits, which are undoubtedly adapted to them, and then we will realize prices for fruit higher than we have ever known when we ship them away in carload lots. — C. P. TAFT, Orange, at Riverside Institute.
Santa Ana Street Trees.
Some time ago the city authorities of Santa Ana ordered the street trees chopped down. The order was based on the theory that the roots of the street trees would penetrate and clog the sewers. One citizen refused to obey the order and has asked the courts to protect him. The fight is still on. If this theory is correct the cities of Southern California must either do without street trees or do without sewers. The fact of course is that a properly constructed sewer cannot be penetrated by a tree root. If the sewer is leaky it may attract roots. But in the event of a sewer being leaky and saturating the soil with sewage it would be far safer and better to have the trees feed on the sewage and thus dry and disinfect such a dangerous soil, than to remain in the street-earth, a disease breeder.
Leaving these matters aside there are other far-reaching consequences of this Santa Ana anti-tree crusade. Roots that will penetrate a sewer can not be limited to those from trees on city, where the deceased was held in high esteem for his many upright qualities.

Death of James Harrison.
James Harrison, the well-known expert accountant, died at his home in Tustin on Tuesday last week, at 3:30 o'clock, of Bright's disease. He was aged 48 years. Deceased moved to Tustin some ten years ago from Detroit, where he held the responsible position of head bookkeeper for a large dry goods establishment, at a salary of $5000 a year. He came to California owing to poor health. Mr.Harrison had been regularly employed by the Supervisors and grand juries for a number of years past to expert the county books. Deceased leaves a wife and four daughters.
The funeral occurred on Friday afternoon, under the auspices of the Knights of Pythias.
Hasson's Bill.
Assemblyman Hasson has introduced in the Assembly a bill to regulate the practice of medicine in this State. It is aimed at "quacks" of various kinds. If it becomes a law, hundreds of faith healers, hypnotic doctors, Christian science operators, and all those who prey upon the sick by giving them pretended treatment will have to quit business. It had been expected there would be opposition to the bill, and to offset this a dozen prominent physicians from San Francisco and other cities assembled at Sacramento to support the measure. A few amendments were made which removed all opposition and the bill finally passed.

You see by these specimens that it is an oval fruit, about the size of a hen's egg, of a violet color when ripe, the skin tough and leathery, requiring to be cut with a knife. Inside is a greenish-yellow pulpy mass of seeds of a very agreeable mandrake or May apple flavor or aroma. It is the pulp that is edible, but I do not believe many in this audience would care much for more than one taste. Yet it is the most delicious fruit when rightly prepared—i.e., with sugar and cream. This is a combination which would hardly suggest itself to one, but it is undoubtedly the right thing. The sickish taste is completely neutralized and a new mixture of great delicacy is the result. That is the way they eat them in Australia, and I understand that there are never too many for the market.
Like the other Passifloras it is of a vigorous habit of growth. Plant one at the foot of some small tree which you do not care for much, and while a little slow in starting, you will find that in two or three years it will cover the tree entirely, and besides being ornamental will bear almost the year round. With its tough skin it would undoubtedly prove a good shipper. I understand that it is a common table fruit on the steamships plying between Australia and San Francisco. Grown on a commercial scale and properly introduced I see no reason why it should not prove one of the most favorable fruits we can raise.
The Pepino, or Solanum Guatamalense. This is a fruit which has been grown in California for a long time, but not extensively. Doubtless many of you are acquainted with it and very likely have pronounced it of little value. I know that such was my opinion when I tried it some ten years ago. Circumstances have lately induced me to give it another trial, and, perhaps, because of the increased knowledge of how things should be handled, I find that it possesses some characteristics which, in my opinion at least, made it well worth propagating.
In a report on the condition of tropical and semi-tropical fruits in the United States published by the department of Pomology in 1887, I find that it was introduced in California from Gautemala by Mr. Grelich of Los Angeles. He called it Melon shrub and street trees or do without sewers. The fact of course is that a properly constructed sewer cannot be penetrated by a tree root. If the sewer is leaky it may attract roots. But in the event of a sewer being leaky and saturating the soil with sewage it would be far safer and better to have the trees feed on the sewage and thus dry and disinfect such a dangerous soil, than to remain in the street-earth, a disease breeder.
Leaving these matters aside there are other far-reaching consequences of this Santa Ana anti-tree crusade. Roots that will penetrate a sewer can not be limited to those from trees on the roadside. Trees in gardens and in orchards will send their roots long distances to moisture. A length of forty feet is nothing unusual for a tree root under favorable conditions. We measured a root penetration from a Eucalyptus tree to a cesspool near Anaheim some years ago that was 62 feet long. The tree dried up and disinfected the cesspool completely. If the claim of the Santa Ana authorities was correct there would not be an open sewer in Los Angeles today. Everyone of our sewers would long since have been clogged up. What do the Santa Ana professional patriots want? Do they propose to cut out and destroy every garden or orchard tree within a hundred feet of a sewer? That is the only measure that would prevent tree roots from seeking the moisture from a rotten sewer. If that town has a leaky sewer it is a town dangerous to health. The authorities would do better to fix their sewer rather than advertise to the world their unsanitary condition by a general slaughter of useful or ornamental trees. That ordinance has advertised them already in two ways. 1st. That their sewers are weak, leaky and unsafe, and consequently that conditions are dangerous to health. 2nd. That they lack entirely appreciation of the beautiful. The charm of California to home seekers is in part climate, and in part the wonderful thrift and variety of trees and plants that grow here. A well grown shaded avenue is an asset of value to any community. The Post thinks that the Santa Ana officers are working seriously against the city's interests.

Pity and Beauty
The most beautiful thing in the world is the baby, all dimples and joy. The most pitiful thing is that same baby, thin and in pain. And the mother does not know that a little fat makes all the difference.
Dimples and joy have gone, and left hollows and fear; the fat, that was comfort and color and curve—all but pity and love—is gone.
The little one gets no fat from her food. There is something wrong; it is either her food or food-mill. She has had no fat for weeks; is living on what she had stored in that plump little body of hers; and that is gone. She is starving for fat; it is death, be quick!
