There seems to be a notable lack of understanding of the scope and effect of Judge Bledsoe's decision in the Fuller case, and his reference to the Durkee ranch therein. For instance, here is one Orange county editor going into raptures over the purchase of the ranch by the valley water companies, and solemnly assuring his readers the possession of that property proved the only obstacle to Fuller's swooping down on them and taking all their water away. This view is hardly warranted by a perusal of the learned Judge's decision. Judge Bledsoe held that Fuller could not take from the river water which belonged to us and run it upon lands which were non-riparian to that stream. If such diversion interfered with the rights of the ranch, so much the worse for Fuller. And that is precisely what was held by the court—that the lowering of the plane of saturation on the Durkee ranch, even to the fractional part of an inch, by this upper diversion, was an infringement upon our rights and could not be upheld in a court of equity. To be sure the possession of the ranch and its rights to the waters in the river proved to be of incalculable advantage to us, but to say our irrigators would have been "thrown out of court" without it hardly tallies with the facts—we could have bowled Fuller over on a dozen different counts. That the purchasers of the Durkee ranch foresaw the great advantage its possession would vouchsafe them in assaults against them such as that attempted by Fuller, is thoroughly Mr. Sherwood arises from his bed of sickness and suffering and no sooner gets beyond his doctor's vision than he mounts his favorite charger and with leveled lance rushes once more into the maddening fray—to the imminent disruption of his nervous system and the ultimate impairment of his health. However he bestrides his stead imperfectly, and in his performance manifests evidences of the weak and wobbly. Mr. Sherwood must have had bad dreams about this journal during his illness, and from his latest eruption it would appear that he is not quite well yet: There seems to be some doubt in Anaheim [so runs Mr. Sherwood's latest serial] whether the GAZETTE or the stockholders represent the company. The great difficulty seems to be to get any one to come out for director who will "stand for" being supported by the GAZETTE. Meanwhile Messrs. Smith and Zeyn have been quietly gathering in the needful and if they need any help there are several hundred shares that I know of that will help push them over the line. The situation on this side [Fullerton] is this: Nine-tenth or more of the stockholders who live here are arrayed against a few persons who control large blocks of stock. These persons are Chapman, Crowther, the Benchleys, Bradford, Pierotti and Blennnerhassett. This coterie seems to have no settled policy except to criticise the policy of the present board, unless it be to reinstate Kellogg [in the position taken from him by Sherwood] and to build the Yorba reservoir. All these persons are more or less involved in the costly mistakes of the past few years, and seem inclined to carry out their discredited plans at any cost to the company. Whether they will be able to do so depends in a measure upon Anaheim stockholders. If the GAZETTE can appoint two men to co-operate with Mr. Chapman, why the thing will be easy. Otherwise we shall go on suggesting improvements that will greatly benefit Anaheim; and, when the Anaheim people wake up sufficiently to appreciate legal battles abroad, there has not, on account of the stubbornness and inconsistency of this man, been any co-operation between the two companies at home for a year. Now will any of this joint work be taken up, in all probability, during the coming year, should this man unfortunately again secure control of the company, as he is now laying his wires to do. That is in part the record of the man who expects to go on "suggesting improvements" that will "greatly benefit Anaheim;" and when our people "wake up sufficiently" to "appreciate" them, he will condescend to put them in execution. The fact that he endorses Smith and Zeyn should cause stockholders hereabout to look elsewhere for material for directors. What the people want is men of judgment who will not frighten before the fatted calf on matters of importance to every irrigation in the district. Sherwood makes the ludicrous statement that the rule proposed himself some months ago, that employees of the company detected soliciting proxies shall be dismissed from the service of the company does not apply to him as engineer; because, forsooth, one "may search the records of the board in vain any resolution appointing me enuer!" Well, that is the latest! The rule does not apply in this case; because this great reasoner is not employe of the company, but causes there is nothing on the records of the company setting forth that fact! Perhaps the fact that drew nearly $70 in wages on the payroll might be taken as sufficient attestation of this fact. The executive committee of River Improvement association Sacramento has issued the follow address: The General Committee has solved to ask the Legislature to The purchasers of the Durkee ranch foresaw the great advantage its possession would vouchsafe them in assaults against them such as that attempted by Fuller, is thoroughly well known by those acquainted with the subject. But its purchase was brought about with a wholly different purpose in view. Always worth what it cost in dollars and cents, its purchase three years ago was brought about as a measure check-mating what threatened at the time to be an assault against our interests of far greater magnitude, if possible, than the Fuller suit. This was the Newberry imbroglio, which threatened an expensive lawsuit, but which collapsed when the valley irrigators stepped in taking this property from under the very peak of the Newberry nose, his option upon the property having momentarily lapsed Newberry was after the renewal of the option the next day, and forwarded the owner a check through the mails in the sum of $5000 to bind the bargain. But he was too late. The ranch had passed into possession of the water companies. The key of the situation having been taken from him, his case collapsed, and when he subsequently brought it to trial in the United States circuit court he had not a leg to rest upon and he was defeated. So this Durkee ranch, born of a lawsuit, rises again in another, like an enchanted isle of the sea, bearing to the valley irrigators the words of solace that nevermore need they be afraid of another assault against their vested rights to the waters of the river! And so mote it be. Singularly enough the man who has bellyached most about the purchase of this valuable piece of property is the present president of the Anaheim Union Water company. If the water secretary is content to "stand pat" on his warmed-over statement that the assessment notice under discussion was "timed to close at 5 p.m." Dec. 3d, as stated by the Plain Dealer, we can offer nothing to wean him from his idols; but he must have seen ere this that his position is as illogical as the day is long. For as we have already pointed out, the assessment notice says nothing about the time of day from him by Sherwood] and to build the Yorba reservoir.

For as we have already pointed out, the assessment notice says nothing about the time of day at which stock shall become delinquent—it merely provides that such stock shall become delinquent Dec. 3d. It may suit the convenience of the secretary to say that stock did not become delinquent until 5 of the clock on the day in question, and thus by implication to charge that when we solicited the delinquent advertisement at noon of that day, we were in the unholy business of trying to get him to commit an "illegal act." Or it may suit him to say that he "had not time" to prepare the notice for publication in time to legalize some $380 of delinquent stock. But to the impartial observer these reasons have each of them a very base ring indeed. To such it would appear that the secretary committed an error which jeopardized the collection of this delinquent stock, and has not flinched at framing artful excuses therefor. One word more. We did not "offer to print the list and charge only for those who had not paid," as stated by our contemporary; whether by authority of the secretary or no we know not. We offered to take the list at noon, providing it was not unduly long; set it up and at 5 o'clock withdraw such names as had in the meantime been paid, charging nothing therefor. There was no intention to ask the secretary to do an "illegal act," any more than to have him renounce his allegiance to one F. Murphy of the white white rib'n. To all our friends and subscribers everywhere, whether at home or abroad, a Happy New Year! NATURE OF LIFE. A Talk on the Interaction of the Constituents of Protoplasm. Herbert Spencer's definition of the nature of life implies, as is well known, a continuous adjustment of internal to external relations, says the London Lancet. In other words, vitality is preserved by interactions going on between the constituents of the protoplasm. On the face of it this view must be very materially modified in the light of some exceedingly interesting experiments recently brought to the notice of the Royal society by Horace Brown, whose classic researches on that interesting class of ferments the enzymes are well known. He has found that by submitting seeds to the very low temperature of evaporating liquid air—i.e., from —188 degrees C. to 192 degrees C.—for 110 consecutive hours their power of germinating is not in any way impaired. Since the above temperature is considerably below that at which ordinary chemical reactions take place, the result is very remarkable and would appear to show that although a state of complete chemical inertness in protoplasm may be established it does not necessarily lead to a destruction of its potential activity. Is this protoplasm thus brought to a "resting" condition to burst into activity on restoring favorable conditions? If so, what becomes of life during this "rest"? These observations are also of interest in connection with the suggestion of Lord Kelvin that the origin of life as we know it may have been extra terrestrial and due to the "moss grown fragments from the ruins of another world" which reached the earth as meteorites. That such fragments might circulate in the intense cold space for a perfectly indefinite period without prejudice to their freight of seeds or spores, Horace Brown remarks, almost certain from the facts we know about the maintenance of life by "resting" protoplasm. The difficulties in the way of accepting such a hypothesis certainly do not lie in this direction. Here is an interesting problem for biologists, and the development of the question will be followed with the keenest interest. TRICKS OF MEMORY.

The chief task which has been assigned will cost $400,000 and constitute the digging a new channel near the Sacramento river below Rio Grande about two miles long and 1 mile wide, across Sherman Island. This island is a reclamation district where twelve miles long and separated from the lower end of the San Joaquin River from the lower end of the Sacramento River. The flood-mark in theimento is fourteen feet above mean low tide of Suisun bay and flood-mark of the San Joaquin river. A fall of five feet can lead through the new channel, leading thousands of fertile acres to max-rolls and opening the rivers better conditions for navigation. San Joaquin will not be raised due to existing flood-mark, the charge of the new channel being free tidal outfall. The committee has made investigations and has printed a report of which may be had upon publication. Appeal is now made to the people of this state, to the newspapers, institutions of learning, to all enquirers, to Chambers of Commerce, the Water and Forest association, the California Promotion society to all other bodies; that they carefully consider the needs of drivers and bays of this great state. Interests of far greater importance to the state than the loss of transportation service are at stake. State and the United States would expand on permanent improvements larger sums than have spent heretofore. The Fullerton correspondent of Los Angeles Times observes his usual wisdom: Some weeks ago three newly elect-supervisors signified their willingness to vote for Dr. Freeman of San Juan for county physician, but it is estimated on good authority that of the Republican supervisors it has decided to support Dr. Freeman, which will elect that man. One of the five sufficient to elect? No, is this man? We should like see what he looks like. TRICKS OF MEMORY. Notable Examples of Forgetfulness That Are Supposed to Be True. The first man to start a school for the training of memory was a Greek, Simonides, who read one of his poetic compositions to a large audience and so fascinated them that when he bowed and withdrew from the building they sat spellbound. The roof caved in and killed them all, mangling them so that the bodies were unrecognizable, but Simonides came to the rescue of the depairing relatives and said he could remember where each person in the audience sat and who he was. As there was no one to dispute his decisions his identification was satisfactory, and he profited by the enthusiasm to start a memory school. A young woman of no education fell ill in a small German town. She could neither read nor write, yet she raved in Latin, Greek and Hebrew, and the simple villagers thought she was possessed of the devil. Investigation proved that at age 9 she had been taken by a charitable old Protestant pastor. It was his custom for years to walk up and down a passage of the house into which the kitchen opened and read to himself in a loud voice out of his books. These books were ransacked by the physician in charge of the curious case and who had made inquiries into the sick girl's past life, and in them were found the identical Greek and Latin passages which the girl in her delirium had repeated. There is an authentic case of a brilliant young woman, happily married, who had a long illness, the result of which was that when she recovered she had lost every collection of her life from the day of her marriage, inclusive of the ceremony. The rest of her life up to that point she remembered clearly. At first she pushed her husband and her child from her in alarm, but her parents and friends have convinced her she is married and has a son. She believes their word of necessity, though she has never recovered her memory of that one year which is lost to her—Exchange. Hired Webster For a Week. Of course Webster was in demand by those who could afford to pay for his services. A sharp Naitucket man is said to have got the better of the great defender of the constitution in an amusing way, however. He had a small case which was to be trid at Nantucket one week in June, and he posted to Webster's office in great haste. It was a contest with a neighbor over a matter of considerable local interest, and his pride as a litigant was at sake. He told Webster the particulars and asked what he would charge to conduct the case. "Why," said Webster, "you can't afford to hire me. I should have to stay down there, he whole week, and my fee would be more than the whole case is worth. I couldn't go down there for less than $1,000. I could try every case on the docket as well as one, and it wouldn't cost any more, for one case." UNCLE SAM'S DOMAIN. With All of His Extravagance He Still Owns Over 600,000,000 Acres. The idea that Uncle Sam is at present a landless old fellow has generally taken possession of the people throughout the country. This, however, is a great mistake. He still has land enough to give each one of his 73,000,000 children a nice little homestead of eight acres each and still have a ranch of over 16,000,000 acres left. In other words, your dear old uncle still owns something over 600,000,000 acres, distributed as follows throughout the various states and territories: Alabama: 532,839 acres; Arizona: 54,400,211 acres; Arkansas: 3,922,042 acres; California: 43,841,044 acres; Colorado: 4,037,204 acres; Florida: 1,797,662 acres; Idaho: 45,962,855 acres; Kansas: 1,046,589 acres; Louisiana: 845,020 acres; Michigan: 522,481 acres; Minnesota: 6,240,493 acres; Mississippi: 41,441,220 acres; Missouri: 497,764 acres; Montana: 71,432,917 acres; Nebraska: 10,669,833 acres; Nevada: 61,578,586 acres; New Mexico: 56,983,047 acres; North Dakota: 21,885,293 acres; Oklahoma: 8,105,288 acres; Oregon: 35,892,318 acres; South Dakota: 13,250,718 acres; Utah: 44,207,270 acres; Washington: 17,958,536 acres; Wisconsin: 454,107 acres; Wyoming: 49,341,588 acres; Alaska: 369,-589,600 acres. About one-half this vast amount of land lies it will be seen in Alaska,and it is very certain that this will never be available for homestead purposes,但 for mining purposes its value in cold coin may prove to be even greater than though it were arable. The larger part of the balance lies in fertile and productive states and is all subject to homestead laws. Those who want homes should avail themselves of the more liberal than homestead laws of the United States. This is the place for the surplus labor.-St. Louis Star. Holland. Holland is an abbreviation of Hollowland. It is a low, flat country on the North sea and is composed mostly of deposits from the Rhine and other rivers and of sand thrown up by the sea. Some parts of it are even lower than the sea itself,and to keep the water out strong walls called dikes,made of great stones,timber,turf and clay,have been built along the shores.The land was formerly very soft and swampy,但 it has been filled up or drawn out by hundreds of pumpswhich are worked either by windmills or steam engines.The water is pumped into canalswhich take the place of streets,and the people go about on them in summer in little boats drawn by horses or by dogs,and in winter they travel merrily over the ice on skateswhich men,and children use with ease and grace.

The shrewd Nantucketer hired Daniel out to all his friends who were in litigation and received in return about $1,-500, so that he got Webster's services for nothing and made a good profit to boot—Boston Herald. Very Politely Put. Several clergymen boarded a street car in Boston one day, and one of them hearing that Wendell Phillips was in the car got up and asked the conductor to point him out. The conductor did so, and the minister, going up to the orator, said: "You are Mr. Phillips, I am told." "Yes, sir." "I should like to speak to you about something, and I trust, sir, you will not be offended!" "There is no fear of it," was the sturdy answer, and then the minister began to ask Mr. Phillips earnestly why he persisted in stirring up such an unfriendly agitation in one part of the country about an evil that existed in another part. "Why," said the clergyman, "do you not go south and kick up this fuss and leave the north in peace?" Mr. Phillips was not in the least ruffled, and answered smilingly: "You, sir, I presume, are a minister of the gospel?" "I am, sir," said the clergyman. "And your calling is to save souls from hell?" "Exactly, sir." "Well, then, why don't you go there?"—San Francisco Argonaut, along the shores. The land was formerly very soft and swampy, but it has been filled up or drawn out by hundreds of pumps, which are worked either by windmills or steam engines. The water is pumped into canals, which take the place of streets, and the people go about on them in summer in little boats drawn by horses or by dogs, and in winter they travel merrily over the ice on skates, which men, women and children use with ease and grace. Why He Wondered. A man who went away from home some time ago to attend a convention of church people was struck with the beauty of the little town in which the gathering was held. He had plenty of time, and while wandering about walked into the village cemetery. It was a beautiful place, and the delegate walked around among the graves. He saw a monument, one of the largest in the cemetery, and read with surprise the inscription on it, "A Lawyer and an Honest Man." The delegate scratched his head and looked at the monument again. He read the inscription over and over. Then he walked all around the monument and examined the grave closely. Another man in the cemetery approached and asked him: "Have you found the grave of an old friend?" "No," said the delegate, "but I was wondering how they came to burry those two fellows in one grave."—St. Joseph News. Glass Mirrors of the Ancients. M. Berthelot has from time to time unearthed a vast amount of valuable information respecting the chemistry and technology of the ancients. His latest researches have reference to some glass mirrors found near Rheims and which date from the third and fourth centuries. The glass was coated with a metallic substance and also with a layer of whitish material. The metal proved to be lead, with no trace of gold, silver, copper, tin, antimony or mercury, nor was there any organic substance present, showing that no extraneous material was used to cement the lead to the glass. The mirrors appeared to have been cut from hollow blown glass globes, and it is possible that before being cut the molten lead had been poured into the interior, adhering to the previously warmed glass. The whitish layer consisted of lead carbonate and lead oxide formed by the oxidation of the lead coating and calcium carbonate which had been deposited from the water of the district in which the mirrors were found.—Industries and Iron.

The Ship's Bell. The ship's bell is the mariner's clock, the nautical day begins and ends at noon, when eight bells is struck. The bell is struck half hourly, day and night, one stroke being added for each half hour until eighteen reaches, when one count begins at one bell. In the United States navy the ship's bell hangs usually under the forecastle, or just forward of the foremast. The captain's orderly keeps the time and reports to the officer of the deck the hour in terms of "bells." The officer of the deck then bids the messenger of the watch strike the bell. There is somewhat formality at eight bells than at other times, then the hour is reported to the captain and the bell not struck until he has said, "Make it so." Here is the routine on board a man-of-war at 8 o'clock in the morning: The orderly says to the officer of the deck, "Eight bells, sir." The officer of the deck replies, "Report to the captain eight bells and chronometers wound." The orderly then goes to the captain and says, "Eight bells and the chronometers wound, sir." The captain replies, "Very well; make it so." The orderly goes to the officer of the deck and says, "Make it so, sir." The officer of the deck says to the messenger of the watch, "Strike eight bells," and if everybody has been prompt the messenger strikes eight bells at exactly 8 a.m.—Boston Post. Curious Biblical Fragments. While the Trellis written Bible was undoubtedly intended for the use of the grown up scholar, in whose case a fair acquaintance with the sacred volume could be assumed, we have another species of Biblical fragments representing the "Reader Without Tears" of the old world. They are written in large, distinct letters and contain as a rule the first verses of the book of Levitics, accompanied or preceded by various combinations of the letters of the alphabet which the child had to practice upon. Sometimes it is the fragments forming the conclusions of books, or more correctly, of whole groups of books, such as the end of the Pentateuch, the end of the prophets and the end of Hagiographa, that yield us important information, for in some cases they possess appendices or colophons that give the date of the manuscripts as well as the names of the owner and of the scribe. Occasionally we come upon a good scolding, as when the colophon runs: "This pentatchem (or psalter) was dedicated by N. NN., in the year — to the synagogue —. It shall not be sold, it shall not be removed, it shall not be pawned. Cursed be he who sells it, cursed be he that removes it," etc.—London Globe. The Only Thing to Do.

There was a time when the Illinois Central railroad was being constantly sued. This story illustrating the avidity of plaintiffs is related by the Louisville Courier-Journal. Emily A. Storrs, the famous Chicago lawyer, was approached by an old man with a note one day. The note had been found among the effects of a deceased relative. "What's the nature of the note?" asked Mr. Storrs. "I don't know, sir," replied the old fellow. "Have you any idea who wrote it?" asked Mr. Storrs. "No, sir," answered the note bearer. "Well, do you know anything about the note at all?" asked Mr. Storrs. "Nothing at all, sir," answered the old man. "Well," remarked Mr. Storrs thoughtfully, "the only thing I can see to do in the premises is to sue the Illinois Central railroad." Chinese Matches. The men and women employed in the Chinese factories have long hours and poor pay, and they suffer much from the sulphur fumes. The Chinese care little for human life, and almost no precautions are taken to lessen risks. No foreigners are employed, and the heartless native overeaters have full sway. There is one redemining feature, however, of this industry—the matchboxes are largely made at the homes of the factory girls. They go to the factory and receive a certain amount of prepared box materials "in the flat"—that is, the thin pieces of board and the sanded and the stamped paper covers which when assembled constitute a matchbox. At their own homes they sit down beside a pot of paste and begin the long dry work of pasting together these parts and placing them in the sun to dry. When several hundred of these are completed, they pile them upon a board, lay another board on top of the stack, then tie them tightly with a small rope and bundling them on their backs, trudge off to the factory. There the boxes are counted and the number entered in a book against the monthly settlement day. Pavcovich, J L, in Santa Fe tract, lot 8 block 2, amount of tax and costs due, $33 cts.
