Santa Barbara, a city of 12,000, is 375 miles south of San Francisco, is on ocean beach, with a climate of perennial summer, exemption from extreme heat, or cold, making it an ideal place to livo. Under the shade of waving pfilma one can sit and dream or at the deep blue sea, or face about and catch glimpse of the wonderfully fascinating mountain, with its valleys and canyons and roads that wind around and tvur up and over to the beautiful and fertile ranches beyond.

Hotel Potter, costing a million off is a fine sample of the IraildiugB. It is six stories high, has 400 guest rooms a diningroom illuminated by 1500 incandescent, lights and huH a Heating capacity lor 750 gat'hts. At night it is even more beautiful thiin day, as its 10,000 lights Mum- our over the boulevard on thu twnrn. riuiiMi Burbiiia city of miiliouiiires. some of tliuui Spunibh, all living in princely splendor.

Ou the slope above the city is the old Santa Barbara mission, built the Franciscan brotherhood 130 years ago, and this brotherhood has not omittert daily ministration in all these years. Thirty monks in cowl and sandal liqlcJ religious services, gather nnd "nrr.or crops, tend the garden oeinecei'y which the remains of 5000 early worshipers lie. The church proper has many valuable paintings, while the altar is marvel of beauty. The organ and choir are in the organ loft and the services responsive. Miss Kate Christy, formerly of Wayne avenue, Indiana, called in the early morning with "Vic," useci to amble over the streets of Indiana, and away we went to worship at this celebrated mission.

Beyond the mission is Mission canyon. Such oaks and sycamores and roclts and cairns, with ferns and flowers and water falls, makes one think the place enchanted. Dr. George Simpson, formerly of this place, was so glad to welcome an Indiana conutiau that ho came to station with a cab, furnished the fares and soon his beautiful home was reached and his wife, nee Lizzie Thompson, welcomed her cousin and regaled her with a superb supper that was eaten between answering questions about Indiaum friends.

Misses K-i Wrr-; Marion made us feel very much at. home, and all send greutings to old-time friends from their lovely Santa Barbara- home, surrounded by fig trees, roses aucii rare flowers, beautiful palms and pepper trees. Byron Stewart, of East Mahoning; township, a nephew of Mr. and Mrw. Joseph Bath, of town, came seven milep from where he has been working for past two to spend tho diiy wit.fc his friends, the Simpson's and incidentally to hear from his native county.

Hd is an euthuhiinst in place and nothing would tompt him to loave Santa Barbara for a home in the. east. LOB Angeles, the City of tho is one of olives and pomegranates an(5. palms and figs and every known tropical fruit and some not yet known, for one named Burbauk, called the vviaard, is- continually turning out new fruits and new flowers. Tho streets nrt- wonder." at night, as many of the business are lirorally covered with electric, lights, and tho streets crossed und recrossed with incandescent lights, making one? think he is in fairy land.

Every tourist takes an ocean trip of 537 miles to Oatalina island. Tho ocean is sometimes as its name, Pacific, peaceful, but at other titnos rough, with long swells and people become sea sick- thereby losing all their breakfast thai; ought to bo retained to build up their system. Our party had qnite a number of these and tho womuu folks said "Oh, its awful." Tho flying rise from the oceanr and skim along a hundred feet or more. before they ro-cntor tho water. Huii-- dreds of these are seen as tho vessel disturbs them in tho deep of the ocoau.

Tho ocean along the entire const Santa Gataliua island is a wonderful, natural aquarium; here is found the famous glass bottom boat, down through', which visitors peer at the wonders of tho deep. Some of these are like house 1 -boats and hold twenty people, by an engine; others are rowed, and give tho observer a marvelous enti-rtain- vision of the dark, uu.fnthomod< caves of the ocean. Here is a perfect'- forest of seaweed, in all the colors of the; rainbow, in the branches of which float beautiful fishes of rare aud radiant being the home of gold perch and schools of emerald fishes. The black, loiag- spined echinus, star fishes, sea cucumbers, abaloues and octopi are seen clinging to the bottom, while in the intervening water scores of rich jelly of every form and shape captivate tho eye. Tho glass bottomed boats push out among the seals that lazily mova out of the way water 10 or 15 feet fish of every size and in groat shells too beautiful to bo lyiug at bottom of tho sea, merely for the mermaids to look at.

Iu some of the boats 1 a little boy diver was taken along for twenty-five cents would di-vo and bring up any shell selected by a passenger. Our boat did not have a diver iui(t we missed getting any of the beauties wo saw iu the depths of the Pacific. The submarine garden bailies description. It has a great variety of iii graceful motion.
