apples, $500 per annum. lie knew of
one gentleman who had realized as high as
$1,000 per acre in the cultivation of pine
apples. In general terms it would be stat
ing the case very modestly to say that these
e Deral staples could be relied upon to
net 81 900 per acre, one year with anOth-
er. Besides there were other precious
fruits which PROFESSIONALLY could be rails
ed, and coffee, and as an experiment he was
going to raise some of the choicest products
of tropical Asia, and expected soon TO re-
ceive the seed from Singapore, from an En-
glish official who had kindly consented to
send them as soon as they were collected.
He amusingly described the sensation pro-
duced by eating the EQSe and segar apples.
He had beenfrequenay asked: "What if the
frost came; what would become of your
crops and all your tile expectations" He
replied by an analytical exposition of the
manner in which the oils protect tropical
fruits and by reference to our discoveries
in the science of meteOrOlOgy. Extreme
colds and extreme heats come about every
third of century. He remembered one of
the extreme colds in 1885, when the Their
mometer in Columbia, S. c., stood zero for
"a hours. In 1870 light ice formed in the
portion of Florida where he has located HIM
selfnow and the crops were not injured at all,
whereas north of prescribed line all the
crops were injured. He humorously de-
scribed the rivalry between new, small
towns in Florida, intimatiug that when one
newer than its neighbor was overshadoWed,
it fell back upon the dignity ofits antiquity,
and thus was reconciled to its fate. The
lecture concluded with variety of other
interesting information. and an eloquent
peroration on the dignity of labor, its util-
ity in the economy of government
and otherwise, and the announce
ment that the lecturer had been re-
quested, and had consented to deliver an
other lecture next Thursday evening on the
subject of meseorology; and as almost all
young persons speak about the weather,
when they met, as prelude to more seri-
GUS conversation, they ought to hear the
lecture next Thursday evening as afterward
they could talk about the weather evincing
some scientific knowledge.
