. To California and back;. o is the site of the Stanford University, where in a campus of 8, 000 acres, an arboretum towhich every clime has liberally contributed, standsthis magnificent memorial of a cherished son. Thebuildings are conceived in the style of mission archi-tecture—low structures connected by an arcade sur-rounding an immense inner court, with plain thick-walls, arches and columns, built of buff sandstone, and roofed with red tiles. Richly endowed, this uni-versity is broadly and ambitiously planned, and isopen to both sexes in all departments.

Even one who is not alover of horses, if such person exists, can not fail tofind entertainment here, where daily every phase ofequine training is exhibited from the kindergartenwhere toddling colts are taught the habit of the trackto the open course where famous racers are speeded.108. ^i^/S/C/*^ *<^ Perhaps there is not, in the whole of NorthernCalifornia, a town more attractively environed thanSan Jose.

The largest seed-farms and the largestherd of short-horn cattle in the world are here. Twenty-six miles east from San Jose is MountHamilton, upon whose summit the white wall of theLick Observatory is plainly visible at that distance.This observatory has already become celebrated forthe discovery of Jupiters fifth satellite, and givespromise of affording many another astronomical sen-s
