CELEBRATION OF THE FOURTH IN AN EARLY DAY How the first Fourth of July was ct'le-hrated in Snn Hrrnardino in 1S33 was told in TUB SI of July 7. Just 20 ywars ago today. The story follows: A pioneer yesterday told of the first Fourth of July celebration that ever took place In this city. David Henderson Is the only one of those who celohraled who Is now a resident or this city. The first ilag was raised on that day.

July 4, 1 53. Henderson was one of a party of 100 emigrants who left St. Louis and came to Salt Lake with ox teams overland. Arriving at Salt Lake a portion of the party remained, but others wanted a warmer climate and bitter country, so continued the march over the old Mormon trail to San Bernardino, arriving May 30, 185S. The feeling among the Mormons at that time was anything bal friendly to the United States government, so that when Henderson ar.d two others, William Levlck and Joseph Dust in.

suggested a Fourth of July celebration, they were tiiven -but little support or encouragement. They resolved to observe the day, whether auy others Joined with them or not. The services of Mrs. Henderson were enlisted and she, assisted by her sister, made a flag of muslin. There was no blacksmith here at the time, so the iron bands for a flagstaff were made by using the tires from the hubs of a wagon.

Pine -poles were brought from the mountains and spliced together with the tire, making an excellent f.agstatT. which was planted in a prominent place. At 7 o'clock In the morning of July t. the flag was unfurled and saluted with a firing of guns. Artillery was Improvised by boring holes in sycamore logs and using them as cannon.

Not a single copy of the Declaration of Independence could be obtained, so Its reading was dispensed with. Several speeches ringing with patriotism were made by those who celebrated and a basket picnic followed. On the Sunday arter the Fourth, the Mormon leaders denounced the celebration from the pulpits and accused those who were the instigators of the observance of having established a practice whlcTi would disturb the peace of the community. The firing of the sycamore battery In particular was condemned. Of the party who assisted In that flag raising only five are now living.

Two of them attended the recent Fourth of July celebration In this city H'-nderson and Levlck. Levlck now resides on a ranch at the mouth of the Santa Ana canyon. So be ran the celebration of the day In this city. LEATHER FROM THE SEA. The Product of Shark, Sturgeon in Angel Fish Skinc It Is a curious fact that many sort of leather nre got from sea creaturea.

some of which are very beantifuL The skin of sliurks Is a beautiful burnished grny or bluish color. The surface resembles finely grained leather since It shows many tiny prickles all set one way. This property of shurk rcn ders It valuable to the man iifaeturer of shagreen. Since the skin Is at once touyb and easy to work it cau be usej for mnuy purposes where decorative effects are desired. In spite of iu himpy armor the sturgeon furnishes a valuable and attractive leather.

It has been found that when the bony plates are removed the patterns reuinln on the skin. Just as the put terns of alligator scales remain on alligator leather, a circumstance that adds greatly to the value of the product. From the sturgeons thnt abound on our raclflc coast and in the great In ken we get 0 tough leather that Is used for the making of laces to Join leather belting for machinery. It la said that the lacing frequently outwears the lilting Itself. There is found In Turkish waters a strikingly unattractive fish called the angel fish, classed among the littoral sharks.

This fish yields an extremely high quality of green lcatljer, much esteemed In the Ottoman dominions. Kansas City Journal. THE DARK HORSE. How the Nam Was Applied to a Political Possibility. A novel writh-u by Disraeli earl of entitled "The Young Duke" and published In 1831.

Iu the nntnrctic there is not the immense variety of gams which la to be found In north polar regions: but, on the other hand. It Is very abundant and can be turned into food with the smallest exertion.

The AVeddell seal, which sometimes weighs as much ns half a ton, allows Itself to be killed and cut up with placid calm. Its natural enemies are In the water, and for long generations It has been accustomed to bask In the sun undisturbed. Seal steak Is an acquired taste, bat when acquired explorers prefer It to tinned provisions. It Is a common assumption that seal flesh tastes of train oil. Thut is a mistake; the flesh Itself contains no fat but it is extremely rich In blood, and ln taste suggests the Scottish delicacy known as black pudding.

Tengulus, too, make a very desirable addition to the antarctic larder. Epicures eat only the breast, bJca Is rather like hare, but1 of a more delicate flavor. The egg, which are very abundant ln the spring, suggest dtscks' eggs, but are about four times as big. They are excellent eating if you happen to pick a new laid one, but this Is naturally something of a lottery, and a penffuln egg can be very bad Indeed. London Chronicle.

OVER THE EQUATOR. The Coldest Air Blows High Up Above This Torrid Region. Winds blow not merely along the surface of the earth, but upward and down word throughout the atmosphere. They whirl abotit in all directions. So it Is Impossible to construct a weather chart that will really show the directions of the winds, for such a chart would bavb to be in three dimensions.

Professor Alexander McAdle of Har-rnrd In an article in the Geographical Review describes some of the recent experiments in the upper air performed by Houndln; balloons. The atmosphere has, ronghly. two layers, tho. lower called the troposphere and the upper the stratosphere. The strongest winds are found just below the stratosphere, and It would seem that pressure changes originate In this region.

The stratosphere is highest over the equator and lowest over the poles, but Its height varies with the season. "At the equator," says Trofessor McAdle, 'as we rlxe In the air the temperature continues to fall to a much greater height than In temperate latitudes. Indeed, the lowest temperature is found above the eqtintor." Origin of 8atin. The discovery of the principle of the manufacture of satin was a pure accident The discovery was made by a silk weaver named Octavlo Mai. During a dull period of business one day be was pacing before bis loom, not knowing bow to give a new Impulse to his trade.

As he passed the machine each time be Bulled short threads from the warp and, following an old habit, put them into bis mouth and rolled them about, soon after spitting them upon the floor. Later he discovered a little ball of silk upon the floor of bis shop and was astoulshed at the brilliancy of the threads. He repeated the experiment and cventunlly employed various mucilaginous preparations aud succeeded Iu making satlu. Cut flowers for every occasion. Mrs.
