The work of building the new hitjh

■will begin soon ,and when this hii?h
line, which will be about eighty miles
lonp, is completed the danger of future
Inundations will have been eliminated.
The work on repairs is being rushed

WHAT TO DO WITH ASHES
After burning collected refuse save
the, ash heaps.
Instead of leaving: the ash on the
ground to souk through the soil, wash
down into It and so he lost, gather It
up carefully while It is Upht and dry,
ami sift It over your garden beds. It
ni\cs till! plants greater vitality, B.S
you will soon discover. I use, ashes in
many ways about my garden anil never
let a particle Ot ash get away from
servinK a. good purpose. The berry
patches Ilka it and It can he, used
largely f<»' a f*l" mulch, to bo removed
in the spring.
The soot from the chimney Hups I
scatter over the vegetable garden just
before spading, because it is very oily
anil heating hi Its nature, and helps to
I<III grubs and Insects thai would other
wise injure the plants. One should pay
strict attention to such economies, as
it 1m the backbone of every principle
pertaining to both house and garden.—

TO HAVE HEALTHY FERN BALLS
It la so seldom that really luxuriant
tern balla are seen growing In the
house that 1 feel considerable pride
when i ace how well my own turn
out each year. They fire really
examples of. what fern balla should be,
1 have a little conaervatory attached to
my house and in this 1 grow the terns.
For a long time I had great difficulty
with the string that bound tha moss,
aa it frequently rotted and allowed
the ball to fall apart. To remedy this
] had B couple of wire hemlsp
made and Into these hinged and wired
together I PUt the fern halls, with treat
mi icesa,
The great essential In growing fern
balla la to nourish them properly, and
this I do With a solution of liquid
manure. I use a eheese-rlol h has for
this purpose, and. after Riling it with
manure, allow it I" soak in a pail of
water. Into this water l put the fern
ball; when it lias grown too large to
be put in the pall i pour the liquid on
n until it la thoroughly aoaked. it la
useless to try U. grow these plants
without the liquid manure feeding.
They will no( properly mature and will
be one-aided affairs, it la a good Idea
when you ftrot yet your fern ball In
ill io bury it for a month i
before starting it In tv grow.-House

FLIRT OF THE HEAVENS
WINKED AT LOS ANGELES
Halley's Comet, with Train Be
hind It, Coyly Appears
at Sundown
Halley's comet, which has been flirt
ing' with the scientists for the past
month or so, paid its respects to Los
Angeles yesterday evening soon after
sundown and was viewed by what the
atrical press agents term "a large and
appreciative audience." As a matter
of fact, however, the comet was some
what shy, coy as a debutante at her
first ball. It was vlaivle only after the
sun had set. and then scurried for
cover beneath the western horizon so
fast that it could scarcely be seen for
the dust it kicked up. Moreover, a
complaisant fag, coming In from the
ocean, covered the retreat.
During the brief time the sky joy
rider was visible, however, it was
viewed by thousands, every hilltop
having its gallery of spectators, and
other thousands taking in the, unusual
spectacle from convenient roofs.
Compared with the moon, the head
of the comet appeared to be about one
fourth the size of that reflective lumi
nary, but much diminished. Its caudal
appendage, floating away at an angle,
was o| Interminable length, appear
ing like a single shoot of the Aurora
Borealis, alternately visible and ob
scured.
Yesterday evening wns the first time
the comet had been visible to the naked
eye of 0o« Angeles observers for over
a week. Prior to that time it had
heon an early morning* visitor, and its
comings escaped general observation,
although the milkmen frequently saw
ii i they made their rounds.
From now on the comet will be vis
ible, letting* later and later each even
ing, until it finally recedes so far from
the earth that all trace of it will be
lost for another perioid of seventy-fly
PHLOX—A HARDY PERENNIAL'
The phloxes are excellent for present
planting, and fill awkward gaps in the
mixed border. They are especially
charming in August and September,
when the heavy night dews bring out
all their fragrance and sweetness, and
are best planted in clumps, as they are.
deep rooting, and Michaelmas daisies,
sunflowers, etc., are likely to interfere
with their roots. They grow very rap
idly in good light soil, and need division
every two or throe years to get good
heads. Well worked soil, a little water
in dry weather, and not too much after
noon sun will produce surprising re
sults.
If bis Plumps are wanted, put In
three or four little piece* with four or
five stems each. Early flowering: Juno
.mil July phloxes are Interesting and
useful, but Hi" general association of
phloxes are with late summer, when
they are more needed. Varieties are
many. Pinks, nines, magenta* and
crimsons are predominant, though
whites with common centers are com
mon. Albion Is white with a line red
eye: Ed nd Rostand, purple with
white In the center; Meteor is an im
mense salmon-pink! Pantheon, a soft
rose: !.,. Maladl, a violet blue; and
Daniel Leslie ur, white and \ i<>let-t>lu<\
William Roblnnon, rote and crimson,
