Economy of the Vegetable Kingdom.
Blileenth Lecture Delivered before the University of
California College of Agriculture, on Wednesdsy, Feb'
ruary 10th, by Prof. C. E. Biuzt.
Trantmlstlon of Forms.
It has been advanced by some breeders that
the male transmitted certain characters mainly
relating to the exterior of the animal, while the
female transmitted characters relating to the
interior. And there are many cases which
seem to admit of snoh a theory. The color of
the cock is usually transmitted to his offspring;
the ram transmits his peculiarities of horns
and fleece, and the boll the presence or ab
sence of horns. These facts, for such they
seem to be, can, however, be explained equally
well in another way.
Of Prepotency.
If we cross a number of varieties, we And
that instead of the offspring always showing a
blending of the characters of both parents, in
many cases the young animal or plant more
nearly resembles one parent than the other;
that is, one parent has transmitted more char
acters than the other, or has transmitted them
with more force.
Thus, when crossing the short-horn bull upon
the native cow, the grade offspring is more
of a short-horn in its characteristics than it is
a native. We say, in this case, that the short
horn bull is prepotent, and to this power of
transmissien we apply the term prepotency.
Now, prepotency may belong to either parent,
in fact, it may belong to both parents. The sire
dm be Drenotent. so far as certain charac
ters so. bat the dam may be prepotent in
other characters. Now, this prepotency tends to
olve uniformity or fixedness to a race or
breed. Darwin makes the observation that in
certain families the effect of the prepotency
of some ancestor is seen in some distinc
tive character. He says, "It would appear that
in certain families some one ancestor, and after
him others in the same family, must have had
great power in transmitting their likeness
through the male line; for we cannot otherwise
understand how the same features should
bo so often transmitted after marriages with
various females, as has been the case with the
Austrian emperors, and as formerly occurred
In certain Roman families with their mental
qualities. The famous bull Favorite is
believed to have had a prepotent influence
upon the short-horn race. It has always
been observed with English racers that
certain mares have generally transmitted
their own character, whilst other mares of
equally pure blood have allowed the character

may come into aotion independently of any
supposed innuence 01 long ureeuing bo un u
cannot be referred to habit, as some would have
it. Borne of Darwin's examples are interesting
and instructive. In chapter fourteen of his
work on the variation of animals and plants,
he says: "The truth of the principle of prepo
tency comes out more clearly when certain
races are crossed. The improved short-horn,
notwithstanding that the breed is compara
tively a modern race, are generally acknowl
edged to possess great power in impressing
their likeness on all other breeds, and it is
chiefly in consequence of this power that they
are so highly valued. Godlne has given a
curious case of a goat-like breed of sheep from
the Cape of Oood Hope, a ram from which pro
duced offspring hardly to ba distinguished from
himself when crossed with ewes of twelve other
breeds; but two of the half-breed ewes, when
pat to a merino ram, produced lambs closely
resembling the merino breed."
Here, in the first place, the goat-like ram waB
prepotent, but his offspring, when mated with
as strong a breed as the merinos, were not able
to transmit their characters. It is alBO on re
cord that of two races ol French sheep, the ewes
of one, when crossed during successive gener
ations with merino rams, yielded up their char
acters far sooner than the ewoB of the other.
In other words, the prepoteaoy of the merino
rams was groator in the one caso than in the
other; which necessitates this conclusion, thnt
prepotency is the e access of the power of trans
mission which one parent has over the other.
It is evident that each parent tends, with a cer
tain force, to transmit its characters, and it
will transmit them unless the force is met
by one superior to it. It is simply a matohing
of force against forco, tho stronger force win
ning here as elsewhere.
Referring again to the examples given by
Darwin. In Bouth Araerioa there is a breed of
cattle called tho Niata breed, with certain
marked peculiarities. " When these are crossed
with common cattle, though the Niata breed is
prepotent whether males or lemaies are used
tinual or habitual self-feitilization are auite
rare. In the higher animals, the individuals
are divided into two groups in the one, the
male sexual cells are developed io the other,
the female cells. The result of a fertilization in
such a case must always be a sort of cro's
each animal possessing its individual peculiar
ities. In tbe lower forms, whero both kinds of
sexual organs are found in the same individual,
it might be supposed that no such cross-fertilization
existed, but even here it is found that
fertilization takes place by the congress of two
of these hermaphrodite individuals each fer
tilizing the other.

A Trip to Yosemite.
Messbb. Editobb: Here I am in the superla
tively grand, totally lost for language to convey
the remotest idea of it, and I feel like dropping
my pen right here, but having a few moments
before lunch I shall employ them in scribbling
a little as well as I may be able. To attempt a
description of these wonders is simply impossi
ble. No one from any description ever written
or artist's skill pictured, can realize in tbe least
degree the overwhelming grandenr and magni
tude of the surroundings. We talk abont hun
dreds and thousands of feet high, and compare
the little figures expressing hight with some
familiar or prominent point, but when you ap
proach Yosemite, and the first sight bursts
upon your vision, you instinctively shrink
from the abyss so suddenly opening np below
you it looks as if it were ten miles deep.
Horses appear like mice, human beings like
dolls, trees from 200 to 300 feet high like little
bushes ten feet high, and as yon go rolling
down the narrow grade it seems like flying
through mid air as we look down and over the
valley, and only the implicit confidence which
has possessed us In our faithful steeds, and
Professor Wilson, knight of the ribbons, who
has thus far safely and pleasantly navigated
our party, we should vehemently remonstrate
against proceeding further. But on we go safely
along, down, down, down. An acute point is
tamed, and in full snlendor and beauty inde
scribable appear the falls of the Bridal Veil,

vet tne Drenotenev is sironsest in tne temaie
line. In making reciprocal crosses of poufrrand
fantail pigeonB, the pouter Beems to bo prepo
tent, through both sexes, over tho fantail,"
These examples will perhaps be sufficient to
show that the transmission of peouliar charac
ter is due to some power or force in one or the
other of the parents, and not that one parent
inrariably transmits certain characters and the
other certain qthers.
In clants. nrepotenor holds as fullr as in
animals. "When ATicoliana txiniculat'a, a hardy
annual speoles from Peru (threo foot, high) and
N. vincaiflora, (a smaller, two fe'et high, tender
perennial species, aiso ironi oouiu America;
urn crossed, the character of vanieulata ia al
most completely lost in the hybrid: but it N.
quadrivalvis (a still smaller, one and one-half
feet, North American nardy annual; ne crossed
with N, vinccrlora, this latter species, whioh
was so prepotent before, now in its turn almost
disappears under the power of N. quadrivalvis."
In tbiB case, evidently fitico?loni possesses
more of this roroe of transmission tnan panic
lata, hanco it is Drerjotent. but ouad riualind. uos
esslng more of this force, U prepotent over
vinccetora. It would vo interesting to Know
what would be the result of a oros between
panictiiafa and quadrivaMs. Another case iu
ulanta shows well the nrepotenoy one form mav
nave oter another and how this lufluence may
last for a tong period of time. Mr. Darwin fer
tilized a purple sweet pea (Zirus) with the
pollen of the Fainted Lady sweet pea. The
greater number of hybrids almost exactly re
sembled the Fainted Lady Tariety and this re
semblance continued in grandchildren and
great-grandchildren though the later genera
tions showed more and more of -the purple
eoloi of the other anocstor.
Intercrossing
It appears to be a plan of nature, in both the
animal and vegetable kingdom, that in fertili
sation, the sexual cells shall come from differ
ent organisms, xne various arrangements in
orchidaceous plants are the most well-known
examples of this, bat it is now known that in
many other orders of plants simpler, but
equally effective means are provided for secur
ing cross-fertilization, and it Is the opinion of
the bust vegetable physiologists that this cross

940 feet, and Ribbon. 3.300 feet, old El Cap
itan, 3,300 feet, "Cathedral Bocks " and spires,
" The Sentinel," 3,270 leet, all witn perpendic
ular faces looming up on the sides of the valley
and between which wo pass as we go on to our
stopping place,
"The Mulchings Hotel"
(The new one I mean), where We were met by
the old nioneer himself. J. M. Hutchincs,
whose head has grown white in working np
and informing the world more than any other
man of tne wonders oi tne worm renowned
Yosemite valley, which but for his intelligent
writings, learnings ana representations wouiu
have remained a sealed book to the world till
some one of equal intelligence and energy
should have developed it.
He had been dispossessed of the old home
ho had built by some hocus pocus and after
offering to give as much rental as any other
man for the place, the commissioners saw fit to
give it to some one else who had never ex
pended one cent in improving the valley, or
siven to the world a sincle intellectual thought
or idea respecting these sublunary glories. But
to mm we went, ana uiiuuugu just preparing
to receive his friends we were comfortably
provided for with rooms, and on Sunday we
partook of as fine a dinner as any one could
desire. The wonder is how he could provide
himself with all the delicacies we partook of at
Ma taVilfl. But he has them and dispenses them
with right good cheer, and I would right here
recommend all who visit the valley and wi9h
all the creature comforts to call on the old
pioneer.
Our party consists of Captain H. 0. Pitman
and wife, Captain T. H. King and wife, of San
Francisco, J. H. Brnen and wife, of Bockaway,
Now Jersey, your humble servant and wife
(who, by tne way, is tne loveliest woman oi
them all), and on the whole a delightful party.
Our invalids, two, one troubled with gout in
the knee joint and ankle, the other with indi
gestion in the spinal column, have now, after
three dayB' sojourn here, completely recovered;
one can trot np Jacob's ladder in a 2:40 gait
and the other can digest the political code
bound in calf in just four minutes by the
watch.
We went up to Snow s to stay all night and
found a big crowd there. Mine host Snow
(everybody knows Snow) is a host, and didn't
he take care of us? although we came down on
him like the plagues of Kansas and Nebraska,
overrunning him and entering every nook in
his hospitable " caravanearie." And the hostess
beats the host, for she provided us (there were
about sixty there to stay all nignt; witn an tne
luxuries of the season strawberries, etc.,
with a prodigality that betokons her big-hearted
generosity. Oh, how we did enjoy onr stay at
Snow's.
And here let it be recorded, and history for
ever repeat this fact, that on Tuesday, the 25th
day of May, A. D. 1875, was christened and
named a
"Granger Peak"
Amid great eclat and festive pomp. The
"Granger Peak" will hereafter be known by
tourists, as it is located under Mount Starr
King's north wing, rearing its ambitious head
to within a few hundred feet of Starr King's
hight. All hail to Granger Peak. That's glory
enough for one day, and to-morrow morning
we tear ourselves away from these gay and festive
soenes to enter the arena of drudgery and busi
ness on the shores of the sunset sea. A word
more I must sny, visit Yosemite everybody, if
it's the last thine you do on earth : visit Yosemite
if it takes the last cent you have, and you have
to mortgage your neighbor's farm; go to Yo
semite; I beseech every California to visit Yo
semite. You'll live a thousand years longer
ana do a tnousana toia netter.

Tne STBCNQTn or Wood and the Efficiency
or tub Axe. In a recent volume of the annals
of the Forest Academy, at Mariabrun, near
Vienna, Prof. W. F. Exner gives a novel and
highly instructive analysis of the elasticity
and strengtn or wood, its resistance to split
tine, and the use of the wedce. the axe. etc
The impottanoe of these matters he shows to
be very great, because great industries depend
upon tne appuoaDuiiy oi certain Kinds oi wood,
Having deduced few simple formula) to ex.
press the strength of woods and the power of
the wedge, he develops a formula for the foroe
with which an axe is handled, and shows what
curve Bhould be given to the face or cheek of
the axe. in order to secure, under certain con
ditiona, the least waste of power. By these for-
tnrun be is able to demonstrate that the splitune:
efficiencies of the best axes made in Vienna,
Prague and America, are to eaeh other as 13.3
and 9.3, and 4.9, respectively; and applying his
formula) to the elaborate experiments of Nord
lingon, he it able to deduce the absolute ease
with which various vooda can be split.

"KNOW THYSELF."
Tho great educator, profound thinker, and
vigorous writer, Herbert Spencer, has wisely
said: "As vigorous health and its accompanying
nign spirits are larger elements oi napptness
than any other things whatever, the teaching
how to maintain them is a teaohing that yields
to no other whatever." This is sound senti
ment, and one great want of the present age is
the popularization of Physiological, Hygienic
and Medical science. No subject is more prac
tical, none comes nearer home to every man
and woman than this. "The People's Com
mon Sense Medical Adviser, In Plain English,
or Medicine Simplified," by R. V. Fieroe,
M. D., is a book well calculated to supply a
manifest want, and will prove eminently useful
to the masses. It contains abont nine hun
dred pages, is illustrated with about two hun
dred woodcuts and fine colored plates, is
printed upon good paper, and well bound. It
is a oomplete compendium of anatomical,
physiological, hygienio and medical science,
and embodies the latest discoveries and im
provements in each department. It has been
the author's aim to make the work instructive
to the masses, and hence the use of technical
terms has been, as far as possible, avoided,
and every subject brought within the easy com
prehension of all. An elevated moral tone
pervades the entire book. While it freely dis
cusses, in a soientiflo manner, the origin,
reproduction and development of man, it does
not cater to depraved tastes, perverted passions
or idle curiosity, but treats in a chaste and
thorough manner, all those delicate phvsiolog
ical subjects, a proper knowledge of whioh
acquaints us with tbe means for preserving
health, and furnishes incentives to a higher
and nobler life. The author, who is also the
publisher of his work, anticipating a very large
sale for it, has issued twenty thousand conies
for the first edition, and is thus enabled to
offer it (post-paid) at one dollar and fifty cents
per copy, a price less than the actual cost of
so large a book, if published in only ordinary,
sized editions. The large number of sub
scribers received for it in advance of its publio
cation, has very nearly exhausted the first
edition almost a soon as out. and those
desiring copy of it will do well to address tbe
author, at Buffalo, N. Y.,without delay. Com.

PATENTS obtained promptly; Caveats filed
expeditiously; Patent reissues taken out;
Assignments made and recorded in legal
form; Copies of Patents and Assignments
procured; Examinations of Patents made
here and at Washington; Examinations made
of Assignments recorded in Washington;
Examinations ordered and reported by Tele

obtained; Interferences Prosecuted; Opinions
rendered regarding the validity of Patents
and Assignments; every legitimate branch of
Patent Agency Business promptly and
thoronchlv conducted.
Our intimate knowledge of the various in
ventions of this coast, and long practice in
patent business, enable us to abundantly
satisfy our patrons; and our success and
business are constantly increasing.
The shrewdest and most experienced Inventors
are found among our most steadfast friends
and patrons, who fully appreciate our advan
tages in bringing valuable inventions to the
notice of the publio through the columns of
our widely circulated, first-class journals
thereby facilitating their introduction, sale
and popularity.
Foreign Patents.
In addition to American Patents, we secures
with the assistance of co-operative agents,
claims in all foreign countries which grant
Patents, including Great Britain, Fronoe,
Belgium, Prussia, Austria, Victoria, Pern,
Russia, Spain, British India, Saxony, British
Columbia, Canada, Norway, Sweden, Mexico,
Victoria, Brazil, Bavaria, Holland, Den
mark, Italy, Portugal, Cuba, Roman States,
Wurtemberg, New Zealand, New South
Wales, Queensland, Tasmania, Brazil, New
Grenada, Chile, Argentine Republics, AND
EVERY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD
where Patents are obtainable.
No models are required in European coun
tries, but the drawings and specifications
should be prepared with thoroughness, by
able persons who are familiar with the re
quirements and changes of foreign patent
laws agents who are reliable and perma
nently established.
Our schedule prices for obtaining foreign pat
ents, in all cases, will always be as low, and
in some instances lower, than those of any
otner responsioie agenoy. .
We can ana do get foreign patents for inventors
in the Pacifio States from two to six months
(according to the location of the country
boonkb than any other agents.
Home Counsel.
Our long experience in obtaining patents for
Inventors on this Coast has familiarized us
with the character of most of the inventions
already patented; hence we are frequently
able to save our patrons the cost of a fruitless
application by pointing them to the some
thing already covered ty a patent. We are
always free to advise applicants of any
knowledge we have of previous applications
whioh will interfere with their obtaining a
patent.
We invite the acquaintance of all parties con
nected with inventions and patent right busi
ness, believing that the mutual conference of
legitimate business and professional men is
mutual gain. Parties in doubt in regard to
their rights as assignees of patents, or pur
chasers of patented articles, can often receive
advice of importance to them from a short
call at our office.
Remittances of money, made by individual in
ventors to the Government, sometimes mis
carry, and it has repeatedly happened that
applicants have not only lost their money
but their inventions also, from this cause and
consequent delay. We hold ourselves re
sponsible for all fees entrusted to our agenoy.
The principal portion of the patent business of
this coast has been done, and is still being
done, through our agency. We are familiar
with, and have full records, of all former
cases, and can more direotly judge of the
value and patentability of inventions discov
ered here than any other agents.
Situated so remote from the seat of government,
delays are even more dangerous to the invent
ors of the Pacifio Coast than to applicants in
the Eastern States. Valuable patents may be
lost by the extra time consumed in transmit
ting specifications from Eastern agencies back
to this coast for the signature of the inventor.
Confidential.
We take great pains to preserve secreoy in all
confidential matters, and applicants for pat
ents can reBt assured that their communi
cations and business transactions will be held
strictly confidential by us. Circulars free.

AYER'S AGUE CURE

M-mJ'
-Jsafcs'tl
Fever and Ague, Intermittent Fever, Chill Fever, Re
mittent Fever, Dumb Ague, Periodical or Bilious Fever,
fcc, and indeed all affections which arise from mala
rious, marsh or mlssmatio poisons, bss been widely
used, during the last twenty-five years
In the treatment of these distressing
diseases, and with such unvarying
success that it has gained the reputa
tion of being infallible. The shakes, or
chills, once broken by it, do not return,
until the disease is contracted again. This has made
it an accepted remedy, and trusted specific, for the
Fever and Ague of the West, and the Chills and Fever
of the South.
Ayer's Ague Care eradicates the noxious poison from
the system, snd leaves the patient as well as before tbe
attack. It thoroughly expels the disease, so that no
Liver Complaints, Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Dysentery,
or Debility follow the care. Indeed, where Disorders
of the Liver and Bowels have occurred from Miasmatio
Poison, It removes the cause of them and they disap
pear. Not only Is it an effectual cure, bat, if
taken occasionally by patients exposed to malaria, it
will expel the poison and protect them from an attack.
Travelers and temporary residents of Fever and Ague
localities are thus enabled to defy disease. The gen
eral Debility which la so apt to ensue from contlnned
exposure to malaria and miasm, hss no speedier rem
edy. For Liver Complaints it Is an excellent remedy.
