lln latest fad or craze In California,
eMin.fi.illy in tho southern portion, id to
Tmss k8 u collection of Indian baskets. It
is the correct thing-, and some of the most
artistic homes in tho state have rooms
decorated with them. Who started the
cruzo is not known, but some one discov
ered tlmt tlie baskets iiofeHessed great
nrtlstic beauty, wcro rich in harmonious
coloring- und formed attractive ornaments'
for lilrnry and parlor, and the demand
begun. It w&s tho old story of new lamps
for old, and dealers and others went
around tho country exchanging now mod
ern baskets for tho old ones of the Spau-i.-h
und Mexican fumilies.
The htkets tiro exhausted, nt legist the
old ones, being now in tbe hands of a few
collators and others who will not sell
them. 'J ho baskets cost from il iAl Silt
iiniiully, and bring from 10 to $."i0 apiece.
Unless tho rider lias seen some of these
works of barbaric art this price will seem
excessi vc; but the graceful shape, the rich
brown tints, the age und association, give
themu value appreciated by those who
have engaged in their collection. Tho
cheapest way to make a collection is to go
to f.ome collector and buy their baskets
outright; but the most pleasurable method
Is to take a carriugo and go about the
country among tho Indians and Mexicans
and buy them one's self. Many or tho
. firiHt baskets come from tho Indians
north of San Francisco, and others hav
lieen collected in Ixjs Angeles, Kan Iiego
und San Iiernardino counties. In tho lat
ter counties are tho remnants of tho Mis
sion Indians, hidden away in tho moun
tains at 1'ulu, ruuma and at Pachanza.

Tho experiences of tho amateur basket
collector are varied, and no letter way in
which to study tho habits of the present
Indians can bo found. The successful
- basket fiend must have what is popularly
known as "cheek;" must walk into tho
bedrooms mid private apartments, insist
upon trunks being opened and contents
shown. This may seem a high handed
jroeeding, but it is necessary, as even
-wiiilo the people wish to seil they, in t ho
majority of cases, say at first that they
have no baskets, and when they are pro
duced do not wish to sell on account of
tho ancient aunt or grandparent who has
handed them down. If, however, tho
would le purchaser has tho staving jnver
the basket can be secured. Tho sellers
reueraJJv believe the Americans to bo
irreat fool for paying such prices. A half
breed informed the writer that the jicople
were crazy and would give anything; and
with a laugh, he said: "They pay five
times as much for tho old ones as they do
for tho new." That a basket which they
use to sift their Hour in could serve as an
ornament is leyond their conception: yet
this is tho end to which these old utensils
are put. They are tacked against the
walls to show tho figures or color, or hung
over doors or in corners. Hie largo ones
ud a place near the lire to hold tho wood,
wL'te others are distributed about the
library fr papers and magazines; indeed,
their usefulness grows upon one. The
finest collections are photographed by
their owners unu ?uake a fine and artistic
showing.
It is as an art that the work of these
jieoplo commends itself, not alc??o in the
" form of the baskets, but in the marking
and arrangement of colors; and that such
artistic feeling should be found among
people whose ideas of art, as we recognize
it. are of the crudest description, is re
markable. After so many years of asso
ciation with white people it would not
appear strange, if some of their ideas of
ornamentation wero obtained from them,
yet this is extremely rare. All the orna
mentation is unique, possessing- an indi
viduality that cannot bo mistaken. The
lines are often graceful and of great geo
metrical beauty, radiating from tho cen
ter. A common design is a series of tri
angular or arrow shaped figures worked
into radiating lines. Some seem to repre
sent Hashes of lightning in the zigzay
.motion. Human figures worked in, oftei
extending- completely around the basket,
with clasjed hands, are seen in soma of
the boat baskets, while deer anl other
nnimahj are sometimes introduced. Tlie
colors are n.sually dull reds or browns,
yellows and bi&rlt, and in almost every
case the blending b harmonious. Where
theso people obtain J heir i&ns is an in
teresting question, but probably froia
nature the foliago, the bending" brasses,
etc., suggesting tho lines of grace aid
beauty.
METHODS OP BASKET MAKING. .
It is not necessary to go far from the
,-enters of civilization to see basket
niskets. The Diggers produce beautiful
baskets not far from San Francisco, while
tho Indians about Monterey, Santa Bar
Lara, Los Angeles and other localities still
Biake coarse ones in tho t amo primitive
The basket work of tho California Ih
il'.ans is valuable in several ways. It is
t-baraeteristic of tho different tribes, and
thev can b? traced by it. Some baskets
a.-o beautifully ornamented with feathers,
r.::d this shows that they were made by
ts Indians north of San Francisco. One

Is orraoiented with tho red feathers of the
woodi-cr, while around the edge are
the plumes cf the plumed quaiL Tho
feathers are woven in while tho basket is
iiro-nini'p. Fineness and aee are two
Important qualifications.
', The California- Indians employ two gen
eral methods in basket making: the co
is either twined or whipied. The Dig
gers, as before stated, produco fine baskets
ei great beauty, while the Klamath and
JlrClouJ Indians make twined baskets so
ine that they can be used to hold water.
Iathe baskets from the Eel river tribe a
douNe oil 13 used. The Modoc women
produc some beautiful shapes. Wo see
rones, inverted truncated cones, shallow
dishes, some like hats or half eggs, vases,
long and narrow, others flat, with short
necks. Flaques are common, while some
baskets are almost perfect spheres. Many
of these are made of willow slips and pine
roots, stained in the southern county with
nail rust. The material used mostly by
the California Indians is the plant known
scientifically as "rkas aromatica," or
squaw berry. In the houses or ramadas of
Lnsketmafcers the raw material is eeen
tw igs cnt and scraped, eight or ten inches
in length and tied together with a string.
They are dyed with plants and nail rust.
Young girls can be seen soaking the twigs

old women to use. The Id baskets may

Thcro la a fascination to many sports
men in shooting ducks from a South bay
battery, though a more cramped and un
comfortable osillon cannot be found
than that required by the gunner. The
battery consists of a box about eighteen
inches deep and long enough to admit
the outstretched body of a man. A rub
ber coat is the rubstitute for a mattress
and a sandbag serves for the pillow.
From the box extends on each side a lint,
rafUike screen composed of wood and
and brown canvas, which serves to float
the box and break the force of the waves
as they dash up against 'A. By means of
weights the box is sunk in the water and
iron decoy ducks hold it in place. A
hundred decoys are scattered about the
box in a natural manner. Tho gunner
then lies down flat in the box, with his
shells on one ide and his gun on the
other. With a parting instruction to be
sure ami keep tbe head well down the
battery man sails away, leaving tho gun
ner alone on the sea.
To the man first trying tho sport the
situation is a peculiar one, and the sensa
tion tlie same. All alone, surrounded by
the little flock of decoys, and the waves
pounding up with a swash against the
guards to the box, he feels somewhat in
secure. As he lie3 flat in the box his
body and head are below the level of the
water. Sometimes, if the wind is blow
ing pretty strong, a wave will break over
into tho box, tickling his face with briny
drops and sending cold streams of liquid
down his back. If he is a sportsman be
will only laugh at this and take a pull at
his whisky flask to prevent catching
cold. Sometimes the waves run so high
that the gunner is compelled to bail out
his box or it will become a fish pond in
the sea. The Bun beating down on his
face will redden it in about ten minutes.
Meanwhile the sail boat is tacking across
tlie bay to stir up the ducks A bunch of
them is aroused, and as the birds go
skimming along the water they 6py the
decoys, and. thinking they are a flock of
brethren peacefully feeding, shape their
course toward them. As they sail up to
the decoys they soon perceive they are
deceived and wheel away. Just as they
come alout is a good time to fire, and if
tlie gunner is expert while they are get
ting away lie lias time to 6lip in anotlier
shell and fill the back of the rear duck
with cold lead. If any of the ducks fall
the gunner stands up in the battery,
which is a signal for the sailboat men to
come up and gather in the fowls that
have been shot.
Then the gunner stretches himself out
again and waits for another flock. If
tlie ducks are thick and not in a suspi
cious mood he will not have to remain so
long before another set will be along and
more blazing away is in order. Some
favorable morning there is a constant
liooming of guns on the bay, and big
ijoatloads of ducks are brought in. It
is not uncommon in the autumn for one
man to shoot fifty to eighty ducks from
a battery. Tlie next day be may not get
five.
In the season about five batteries a
day str.t out from Patchogue. The skip
per always has a man to help him sail
his catboat, and it is a race to secure the
best ground. Often In making the best
run across the bay the "cap'n" only gets
in first to find the ground already seized
by the ambitious huntsman who has gone
out the night before, slept in the catboat
and at sunrise is ready in his battery.
Tlie early morning is the best time, as ai
dawn the ducks begin to feed and are
out in great numbers. Every sailboat
man is a "cap n and must scrupulously
be addressed as suclu ilis assistant is
the mate. There is no crew. The South
bay boatmen are honest, good hearted
men, always ready to get as much as
they can out of the sportsmen, but work
ing hard to drum up the game for him.
He will charge 41 6 a day for the use of
the battery, and will throw in the meals.
In the cabin of the catboat tlie mate
cooks ham and eggs, steak, potatoes and
coffee, and serves it hot. If the sports
man likes oysters, he will throw over his
rake and bring up half a bushel to open
on the spot If one is not having much
success with the ducks it is a good plan
to allow the "cap'n" to lie in the bat
tery for a tim,e, for he is invariably a
crack 6hot and will fiJI jp the quota
needed in short order.
.Brant and broadbills are the most
abundant of the family in the Great
South bay n spring. The broadbills are
a plump duck, with cbprt bills. They
are sw ift flyers, and it is like shooting at
a bunjble bee to draw on one as he comes
by. Lo the fall black ducks and red
heads come ?u the bay. Shell ducks are
also plentiful. Shell ducks and coots are
good shooting, but not worth eating.
The broadbills are great divers, and
often, when wounded, will lead the skip
pers a long chase. On diving they are
pretty sure to come up to the windward,
and a good d'stapce off. Often the duck
come in the bay in great quantities, and
6et up in the water like big rows of ten
pins. When started they rise with the
noise of a whirlwind in the forest. Tlie
boobies are a small species of duck that
sometimes come in the bay. They get
their nauie from their aptness at losing
their heads. A slxot into a flock of boo
bies will sometimes so disconcert them
that they will fly around in a circle and
allow the gunner to take his time in
shooting them down. They are great
chatterers, and keep the bay noisy with
their criei. New York Times.

RAJUE AND DKAUTIFUL THINGS.
One Wall street man has collected pipes
from all over the world. Another has ran
sacked all lands for weapons; a third devotes
himself to bringing together wood carvings,
a fourth to tbe collection of Mosaics and so
ad infinitum. There are a lot of spurious ar
ticles palmed otT on some of these untrained
collectors, but on tho whole tbe mania is ad
tnlrable if for nothing else than that it re
sults in filling the country with rare and
beautiful things. One of the mast interesting
and occult of these collections is that of Hu
moegen's, which consists entirely of moths
and butterflies. It contains 100,0u0 of these
insects, all carefully arranged, ticketed, cata
logued and displayed in handsome glass
cases. Nuemoegen has been some twelve
years bringing these together, and it is said
to be the most complete collection of moUis
and butterflies in tbe world. No expense or
pains have been sared( no expedition ha?

peacock's breast; tbe death's bead motb has
a distinct skull and cross bones marked on bis

doptera are seeming counterparts of a bed of
pale purple wood violets. Some are white
as Know and others black as velvet, while
most beautiful of all are the great creatures
of pale, milky green, whose wings have long
tails of four or five inches attached. Some
are very like dragon flies, with gauzelike
opalescent wings, while some of the big
bodied fellows are covered with actual
feathers of down.
THE TRCTE COLLECTOR.
The true collector is born, and is only made
by long experience and much labor. These
rich stock brokers indulge in collecting only
as an elegant advertisement and intelligent
way of getting rid of their superfluous in
vome; they are rarely born, with the true
pc&jion. The men who sell curios take them
in band and educate them slowly and
laboriously to distinguish between the
true and tbe false, tbe artistic and the mere
tricious, and in large part their collections
are brought together by their having carte
blanche orders with London and 1'arisian
dealers to buy and ship them anything that
comes np for sale fitted to perfect or adorn
tbelr possessions.
But there are two or three men in Sew
York of very moderate means who are true
born collectors. They mouse about old bock
and brlo-a-brao shops, dive suddenly into
junk cellars on Avenue A and come up ra
diant and grimy with some dingy object
which, when put in order, causer their friends
tocrever with envy. Their manner, too, in
purchasing is worth study: Whenever they
happen across something specially desirable
they begin gradually toexhibit more and more
profound disgust and scorn. They contempt
uously toss the treasure trove aside and ex
amine everything else before they return to
it, finally selecting spina cheap, worthless
object and suggesting that the hud shall be
thrown in as an inducement to purchase, and
wearily pocket the whole as if after all they
felt tbey were very weak to allow themselves
to be persuaded to take it at alL 1 have seen
this performance tried successfully more

WORK OF PREHISTORIC MAN.
KetnmLable Relic ut un Aucltut Civili
sation lit California.
In many parts along the coa.it and in
Mexico can still lo seen relics and re
markable evidence cf some of tho mast
skillful arts practiced by tho so called
"ignorant savages" that once inhabited
tliis land, which, by forcibly dispossessing
them, we now inhabit, unless, perhapt,
some more civilized race ossessed tliL?
country prior to its discovery by Christo
pher Columbus, whose tribe has long
since been exterminated and whose record
is lest. One of tho most wonderful of
these relics is the indication of a solid
pavement road in Arizona, made of
granito blocks or 6lubs about ten ft t
long, hewn square, conveyed and pl.tc-ed
side by 6ido by souio means unknown to
the spectator. ,
This pavement or road was undoubted
ly built thousands of years ago, as lhcso
blocks and indications can be traced d r
miles along the mountain sides, through
which deep canyons have washed their
way. Some of these slabs are said to
weigh nearly two tons, and theic U-ing
no granito ledges nearer than several
miles from where they aro now situated
indicates that they must have had Lome
powerful mod a of conveyance, as well a?
powerful machinery to shape und locuto
them.
To these ancient people also was known
a process of tempering brass so it could
bo converted into tools equal to tlie lxr t
of steel. Numerous specimens of l!iU
tempered brass have been found where
mo city or r.:t'.-o i: .s:.i:.:.s, :j v.-
on the Pacific slope, and while the chemist
has no dirliculty in removing the temper.
yet he cannot return it. For the red
covcry of this tempering process scientists
and chemists have labored, and tho
United States government has offered ft
premium in vain. Nor can they even by
having tempered metal before them gain
the least light on the subject.
liringing the tiiscourso a little nearer
nomc, on tne euge ot tne i-ansa piaiiM,
but a short distance from the stock ranch
of C. Ii. Drumley, can ie seen what is
known as the "Painted Rock." This
rock is in a horseshoe shape, about eighty
feet high and 1,000 feet in circu infer
encc. I he inside being hollowed out
gives it the appearance of a natural fort
which has frequently lecn used by stork
men as a sheep corral, and is capable of
holding comfortably 3,000 head of siieep.
The inside walls on the south aro very
aurupc ana overnanging, ami are cov
ered with many ancient paintings,
roughly resembling sketches of men,
dogs, snakes, lizards, tortoises and vari
ous characters, the significance of which
was, perhaps, even unknown to the
painter. So we are inclined to think
that each character is a record of EOiue
historical event, and that, if we but un
derstood them, they would be very inter
esting to us. The paints used are oi
three distinct colors red, whito and
black. And, although we know nothing
of their mode of manufacture or mate
rials used, we can say thi3 much, that
they have a power of durability and of
retaining their color unsurpassed by
modern productions.
In the western part of tht3 county, at
tho outlet of the Antelope valley, on the
Tulare plains, is what is called the
"Point of Rocks. " On top of the most
prominent of these rocks is a large,
beautiful water tank about 7 feet deer
and 20 feet long by 12 feet wide. lis
capacity is between 4,000 and 5,000 gal
lons of water, and although evidently it
has been formed by nature, still, judging
by its location being such as to catch all
the rain water that falls to the surface,
one can be led to believe that it was
human art and design. The height of
the rock is about 100 feet and its walls
are quite steep, but by the aid of steps
chiseled into it, is no difficult task to as
cend and return with a pail of water.
From on top of the rock ono ha3 a mag
nificent view of the surrounding country

other water for a long distance makes it
a very convenient resoit for stockmen
and travelers. On adjoining rocks can
be found a great many similar tanks;
also two small ancient paintings. Scores
cf mortars and pestles are found in
various places. Some are made very
roughly and others are shaped out of a
fine quality of stone with elegant taste.
Marvelous skill is displayed in the art of
making arrow heads and knives of the
hardest flint. How they can give a tie
sired shape to eo brittle a substance by
chipping off bits is easier to think uIkjiU
than to accomplish. Cor. Bakersfield

The Second Hand TSook Trade.
One of the many peculiarities of the
second hand book trade is that the sales
are heavier on days of stormy weather.
The business men find slow sales on in
clement days, and those of a literary
turn of mind, or those who have a pen
chant for collecting books on any special
subject, will drop into a second hand
book store and while away several hours
in looking over the stock. I remember
one 6iiowy day last winter a prominent
gentleman of this city came into my

collecting, and I sold him $G3 worth be
