II waa at thla house alio 1fil I'rlnre Napoleon ret'irned the offlrlal rail of the general on the occasion of hla left in thla fltv. In the beydey of her htiahand' fame Mr. Fremont waa the cen ter of a little court of Ht. Loula aoclety over which aha queened It with all the lf llllanry and grar which waa her naturallly Mra. Fremont, after ber re mot I from nt. Ioul. made a rumber of vlalta to the arrnra of her early girlhood and later aucceaaea In the aoclety of the city d-irlng h"r married life, and alwava entertained a tender recollection of the city wbera her father bad made hi bom for ao many yeara. "My couafn, Mra. Jeaale Benton Fre mont," enld Mr. Cable, quoted by the fit. Loula Olohe-Demorrat, "waa a woman of tba greaf'at personal charm and brilliancy. Well educated, beautiful and of atrong, al moal maarultne mind, aha waa at the aaoie time a woman of the greateat vivacity and a charming conversationalist. She waa poaaeaaed of the broadeat Information and reading and of a decided literary bent, and had Inherited much of the fire of geniua of her brilliant father. Senator Benton, with whom aha would hold long conversations on topics of Interest to him. Her powers of mind fitted her to lead armies or to shine a the leader of a brilliant salon, and her observations, aa expressed In her corro apondenre from Washington, were most In tertitlDg and keen. She waa a woman of in domitable courage and spirit and Intensely devoted to ber husband, defending him on all occasions from the attacks of hla enemiea with her pen and Influence. Her loyrlty to General Fremont did -not cease with hla death, for aha ever held hla memory sacred and waa Jealous of hla fame. "It waa once aald of her by someone who waa not friendly to her husband, when he waa In the aenate, that hla wife wrote hi apeechea and he spoke them. Of course thla waa not literally true, but I have no doubt that Mra. Fremont waa of the greateat help to ber huaband In hla public career. Gen eral Fremont waa n man of a certain tim idity and shyness, while hla wife waa more masterful and forceful In her nature. Of ber life in St. Loula I can only apeak by family tradition, but I know that In the In tervale of her school days she spent many happy daya here, of which ahe has given I Jesse Benton Fremont. ' eome account In aome of her various writ ings." When she Joined her husband In Cali fornia, Mrs. Fremont, accustomed to every luxury and refinement of society, had a taste of the roughtest pioneering. De tained for nearly two months In Panama, he suffered from the deadly climate, and San Francisco's winds added a cough to the weakness of lunga which waa the result of the Panama Illness, and Mra. Fremont waa taken to Monterey for aofter air. Meanwhile Lieutenant Fremont waa cast log about for a home for his young wife and family. He placed $3,000 hla all in the handa of a trusted friend to buy a place In San Joae, while he waa off on a government expedition. He returned to find the friend bad bought the San Joae place for hlmaelf, and Inveated Fremont'a money In land ta Mariposa county. Into thla wild country the little family was forced to go. The land proved to be rich In mineral wealth and from poverty they were raised In a tew yeara to a position of wealth, and they returned to New York, where by un fortunate Investments the money was lost. Many beautiful treasurer are enshrined In the Fremont eoitage in Los Angelea, among them a collection of authentic Bonaparte aouvenirr, which was bequeathed to Oeneral and Mrs. Fremont by their old friend the Count de la Garde, who made hla collection In Paris from the days of the first consulate. The souvenirs are portrait at different epochs In the life of Josephine and Napoleon, and othera, with also many valuable autographic lettera. There are alao mementos of the general, the sword and belt presented to him at Charleetown on hla return from hla Call fornla achievements of 1846. Other treaa ures are here, which have ever been prec ious to Mra. Fremont in thla, the latter part of her life in California. Mrs. Fremont was a writer of note; her books have been "The Story of the Guard," "A Year of American Travel," "Fair West Sketches." "Souvenirs of My Time, "Sketch of Senator Benton" and "Will and the Way Stories." The Injury which made her lame during her last three years waa due to a character istic bit of Imprudence. She felt so lively one day In her 75th year tbat to demon rtrate to some young glrta- how light she still was on her feet, ahe began to dance around the room on a waxed Boor. She failed to reckon with the rugs and, stepping on one of these, she was thrown violently and dislocated her hip Joint. This forced her to live In a wheel chair, but It did not Impair her mental keenness. All visitors of prominence to Los Angtles were sure to call upon Mrs. Fremont. There she re ceived callers with the dignity of a queen, and hundreds doubtless recall her fine face with the brilliant eyes that age and sorrow could not dim. raaslla la airt-. k.4 I air. lha land nf arl, !! .c.!. t4. 4ft(iliv. alluring.

Prof. Charlea 8. Sllchter of tba United Ktataa geological survey. In n monograph entitled. "Tba Motion of Underground Water." aaye tba amount of water beneath tba crust of -tba earth la enormous, amount ing to 86.000,000 cubic yarda. Ilia estimate la based upon tha aup posi tion that lbs average depth which watera ran penetrate benaath the surface la all mile below the land and Ave mllea below tb ocean floor. Thla vaat accumulation, If placed npon the eartb. would cover Ita en tire aurfaee to a uniform depth of from . 1,000 to 1,500 feet. Voder tha Influence of gravitation tba water la generally In mo tion and the object of Prof. Bllcbtar'a paper la to describe the rate and manner of It overflow and tb lawa governing tha same. Es pertinents have shown tbat not only do ssntls and gravels possess porosity, but rocks presumably solid and compact may be traversed by water. (Even ao bard rock aa Montelio granite selected for the areepbgu of the tomb of General Orant on account of 'Ita great strength, shown a pireaity of k.M per oent. The roost pro ductive water bearing rocks, however, are found to be the poroue aandatonea and In ln rsaes limestones whose Inner texture bus bee a chemically dissolved. The popular Ida of underground watera la derived from the rlvrra of coploua discharge found In lha Mammoth and other cavea. But thla Me Is erroneous, aa such streams, though of great local Importance, are compara tively rare. The great mass of ground water slowly percolate through sand and gravel depoalta. aandatonea and other po rous malarial ander a wtda extent of terri tory. Though la motion carries It but a frartlna) ot a mile In a year, tbla ground water la so widespread aad often ao ac cessible a to be of the greateat econeml Importance). The rat of movement of tha underflow has keek tb sabject of long and careful in vestigation. To determine thla Interesting ejaewilon measaremente have) keen made la Ike river gravels of streama wnea surface low have ceased and from such meaaurw aeain more or lews trnei worthy results bave be a attained. One of tke meet ac curate and Interesting of these Is a series ot experiments conducted by Prof. Sllchter along the valley of the Arkansaa river in western Arkansaa. The method is an elec trical one. A double row of Inch aLd a quarter driven wells I sunk across the channel of the river whose underflow la to be teated. The upstream wells are then charged with a atrong electrolyte which dissolves and passes down the stream with the moving water. The passage of the electrolyte toward the lower well I shown by the gradual movement of the needle of an electrical Instrument and the final ar rival at the well ia shown by a audden and atrong deflection of the needle. It la exceedingly Interesting to watch the gradual movement of the water which ran be traced from the beginning of the experi ment In thla Indirect way. By thla method the rate of flow ten feet below the bed of the Arkansas river was found to be two and a half per day. Other experiment In the bed ot the Hondo and San Gabr'el rlvera In southern California gave ratea ot H. 4. 6H and 7 feet per day. The knowledge of the underflow that ex ists ben-ath the gravel ot all river valleys has been taken advantage of In arid sec tions of the west, where the running dry of streama deprive Irrigator of their water aupply. By excavating to bed rock in river gravela and building an Impervious barrier across the channel these underground watera are aaved In sufficient quantttlea to be of great value to the farmer. A notable aubaurface dam of thla kind haa been con atructed on the Pacoima creek, Cal., to fur nish water for Irrigation and domestic use. Deep tones of flow are a moat important feature of the movementa of underground watera and open up an interesting field for Investigation. The wonderful artesian baain of North and South Dakota, which baa proved auch an important factor In the economic development of these states, forms one of the illustrations used by Prof. Sllchter In the explanation of deep-aeated underflows. A cross section of this part of the country clearly ahowa the Interesting fact tbat tha water which cornea to the aur faee in the gushing wells of the Dakotas travels underground all the way from the Black Hills and Rocky mountain slopes, In the water-bearing strata known aa the Da kota sandstones. Another Illustration of extensive baslna due to deep underground flows Is found in Wisconsin, where an extensive area of water-bearing rocks, nearly 1,000 feet thick, conducta water ot singular purity under large area of the atate. It must be borne In mind that there I a limit to the amount of water which can be drawn from an artesian basin, and that there la no auch thing as an inexhaustible underground supply. The gradual failure of the wells which supply the city of Den ver clearly illustrates this fact. So great a demand was made upon this basin be tween the years 1884 and 18!0 that It baa been eatlmated that it all the wells were now plugged the water-bearing strata of the basin would require forty years to re cover the saturated conditions which ex isted when the first well was sunk. In the eastern part of the country the value and extent of underground watera are Illustrated by the enormous quantity used in the city of Savannah, Ga. In 1888 the entire supply of the city was drawn from wells yielding 5,850,000 gallons a day, a total for the year of 2,135.843,000 gallons. In the course of time this supply some what diminished and It waa suspected that the flow was obstructed In its entrance to the wells. The pipes were accordingly flushed by forcing Into them water under high pressure, and the flow was markedly Improved. The study of underground water In its relation to the effective water supply of the corntry Is one of the moat Important de partments ot the work of the United Statea geological survey. It Is carried on In the arid regions, where water for irrigation is of the greatest value; In the middle west, where grating and successful farming largely depend upon It, and In the east, where an unpolluted aupply for domeatlo and municipal use la yearly becoming a - more serloua problem. 4wUO Vi aavJ " TV wta ky fitt on vtvlts to-e a4 lav f e M'att. sM'aaekv IM be.

Some time ngo a Bpntlcmnn applied for nn insurance policy, but upon examination the compauy phynielnu detected a varicocele and he was re jected. Later he became a patient of mine, was entirely cured and obtained his Insurance. I can show a number of instances where young men were for a time prevented from entering the United Rtntes Navy on this account, who afterward took my treatment and were accepted as sound as a dollar. When a mnu Is treated for Blood Poison, Varicocele, Piles, Rupture, Lost Manhood or Reflex Disorders. these ore the kind of cures he wants, and the only kind that are worth even the small charge I make for them. After experimenting with various pre tenders and accepting their extruviigent claims as fattts only to bo doc-elved, thousands of sufferers from the above conditions have finally thrown their electric belts, lotions and "stomachs washes' lu a rear room or alley, and ac cepted their condition as incurable. The gallons of medicines, trusses .belts, etc., were all "warranted to cure," but when their stomachs llnally revolted, found their health und general condition much worse than before. They havo expended hundreds of dollars without any permanent benefit, have lost con fidence In their fellow men aud despaired of ever being cured. These canes I specially solicit patients who have been unsuccessful In their search for a cure; men who realize the seriousness of their condition and will appreciate successful consientlous treatment and n xrmaucnt cure. For many years I have made a special study of the treatment of CHRONIC ANl XKRVOU8 DISEASES of men, and over ten thousand cured patients will gladly testify to my skill, honesty and success. Holh rich und poor alike receive my very best services, and lutsead of scattering my thoughts and experience over the whole field of medicine and surgery, I have found myself vastly more proficient by adhering strictly to my own special line of (II weases. My method of treating Varicocele is entirely painless antl devoid of danger: It has nil the advan tages of the radical snrglctil oierutlou, with none of Its many disadvantages. It compares with the old-time treat ment as the electric light doe to the candle. It Is a duty you owe yourself and family to be cured of this dread disease. From actual experience I aiu in a position to offer you the quickest, safest and most reliable cure obtain able. ; NERVOUS DEBILITY Men many of yon In your very prime, when you should be enjoying all the pleasures of life, find yourself broken down In health and prematurely old. I want every man who feels that he Is not up to the proper standard of health to consult me. I will gladly explain to you the true nature of your condition and describe fully the system of treatment I will use In restoring you to a healthful state. My treatment acts by correcting nil defects and the symptoms which unfit you for business and the plea mires, of life will 1k entirely and permanently removed. Most cases can be treated successfully at home. One personal visit is preferred, but If It is Inconvenient you to call nt my office write me a full and unreserved history of your case, plainly stating your symptoms, correspondence will be In plain, sealed envelope, and physicians having slubltom cases to treat tiro cordially vlted to consult me.
