In Committee of Supply on day the Minister of Public Works stated that the building and plant will have cost by the end of March $454 000.

Its, however, but fair to say that old timers in California tell us that this is an unasmally mild ¢ | winter even in these latitudes; and | your correspondent mentions this for the sake especially of some friends in Canada who, having read his former letters to THE OBSERVER, bave written to him saying that they thought his account = the climate and the country was more highly coloured than the true state of things warranted. It is worth remarking that all the trees here, so far as the writer has noticed, are, with but few excep- tions, evergreens, constantly shed- ding their leaves, yet constantly covered with foliage; while the eucalyptus is ever shedding its bark as well as its leaves. He was par- ticularly struck with this phenomen- on (if you cal it se) on Christmas and New Year's Day, for he then walked between rows and rows of them, and not one of them was there from which strips of the old bark were not gradually falling away ; and, of course, that which was falling off was being replaced by a new cuticle. : Mentioning Christmas just now recalls the fact that the church ser- vices that day were much more ad vanced than any your correspondent had ever attended in Canada.
