During his entire remark he was

To this end of the State the Unlver-
sity is myth Perhaps it is our mis-
fortune arising from our remoteness
from the Club OF the great num-
Der of Regents none have been APP
pointed south of San Francisco or Santa
Clara, though we are taxed for its sup
port. We hear of it whenever the
Legislature meets - once in two years
when funds are wanted.
Notwithstanding this the Whote
State should be friendly to a Univer-
sity = the highest public school. 1t
does not matter so much where the
Regents reside as it does to what are
their fitness for the trust. We want
honest men, thoroughly qualified, and
imbued as educators men whose
character and surroundings furnish an
absolute guarantee that they are in
sympathy with labor = with industry
in connection ,OiM study. We
want men who will make few
hours labor each day to be honored,
or at least respected among the stu
dents. Doubtless the Regents as a body
have spent time without compensa-
ton, and as a rule have performed
their duties conscientiously looking
from their standpoint, and in view of
their immense private interests and
business to be cared for, and their small
personal interest in University mat
tiers. The labor Notwithstanding
boys to habits of industry-setting ex-
amples-is the great problem Of to-
day.
In our Judgment u State Board of
Education, consisting of five thor
oughly competent men = educators
combining also business talent-prop-
~
schools, from University down, better
than an omnibus Board of gratuitous
Senators, including missionaries and
State officers.
BY the way, the Normal School
ought to be a branch of the University,
and its building sold for an insane asy-
lum for those who voted it a separate
institution.

The Legislative Prayer.

In the California Legislature, at the
opening, considerable discussion took
place in regard to the chaplaincy.
Various proposals were made, but
what conclusion was arrived at is not
known to the writer. 1t is rather alb
surd to hire man to pray, and then
know that he feels, unless his prayers
are for ends desired by the majority,
his position is precarious.
In Wisconsin, the Changers, who
are the originators of all good recent
political inventions, have proposed the
following:
WHEREAS, The taxpayers and
Changers of this State desire that all
middlemen should be dispensed with,
and as the opening of the sessions of
this House by prayer from the resident
clergy would be an act attended with
considerable expense to the State;
therefore,
Resolccd, That instead of the clergy
of the city opening the sessions by
prayer, that duty shall be performed
by the members. The member whose
name was found at the head of the list,
as arranged by the Clerk, shall be the
first to perform that duty; the next
man on the roll to perform the duty
the day following; this to continue UNI
til the whole list has been gone
through with. In case of the absence
of any member on the day when this
duty shall be required of him, then
the duty shall be performed by the
speaker.
Now, this is good, and the effect
would be glorious. Think of the Sem
ator from San Diego offering up the
prayer at the morning hours, or our
own Nietos representative. Think
how beautiful in spirit they might be,
and how happy their constituents
would be over their conversion.

vhen they are dropped from the ovary.

when they are dropped from the ovary,
half way between the ovary and the
outlet of the oviduct.. The queen
stands on the edge of the cell in which
either formulated or unfec1ndated eggs
are to be deposited. If the former, she
has the, power to open this receptacle,
the organin which the spermatic parti-
scles have already been received, and to
allow one or two such particles to come
in contact with the egg; if not, she can
close the organ and allow the egg to
pass out unfecundated. Siebold has
shown that eggs cut out above the open
ing of the receptuculat171 se77aiaais into
the oviduct, at which those organs con-
meet, are always unfecundated
Siebold has investigated similar set
of facts in the history of another species
of hymenoptera, a kind of wasp, of the
genus toJistes. In this case, the queens,
which are formulated in the autumn,
begin to lay their eggs early in the
spring; out of these eggs are born a
variety of individuals, workers and
males, as in the bee community. By a
careful destruction of all the males,
which was accomplished without injury
to the comb, Siebold ascertained that
parthenogenesis obtains in this family
also. Plenty of eggs were laid after the
males were destroyed, but the perfect
insects they produced were always
males and never a single female. It is
now clearly proved, not only for wasps
and bees, but also fora number of other
insects belonging to the hymenoptera,
that virgin females may produce male
offspring without any participation of
males. ~ '"-.

First Settlement of Kentucky.

1t is just onehundred years ago since
the first settlement of Kentucky. In
April, 1774, the terrible massacre of the
Logan family by the Indians took place,
and Daniel Boone, who hated the Indian
as much as he relished the Indian life,
was longing for revenge, when a mes
senger came riding down the valley of
the Ohio with his steed in a foam +; a
messenger from the royal Gov. Dun
more of Virginia, seeking one Boone,
Daniel Boone, a woodman who had
been in the West, to go westward
to the falls of the Ohio, and conduct
surveying parties and protect them as
they went. Boone started on his peril
Gus journey on the 9th of June, 1774,
reached and reconducted the surveyors
in safety to the settlements, the dis
lance being 800 miles and the time two
months. The Governor rewarded Boone
by employing him on larger scale for
settling the West. James Harrod, the
founder of Harrodsburgh, built the
first house in what was then termed the
West, a log cabin raised in the forest
in April. 1774. rE EG.9 ge .-r-.

A trial Of Ford's patent automatic
railway time signal, new invention
for indicating the time that has elapsed
since train has passed a given point
on railroad, took place just outside
the new station of the Boston and Low
ell railroad yesterday The machine
involves the principle of the hourglass,
with the exception that the sand is al
lowed to drop out by inversion.
1t consists of small watch-house
about twenty feet high, painted black
and provided with a shallow glass box,
twelve or fifteen inches high, and a
valve at the bottom which opens and
closes by the application of weight or
force to lever running down to the
ground and out to the track. Behind
this box is light, and over it is a res
ervoir of white sand, which escapes
continually at fixed rate into the box
unless it be full Surprising the glass
box to be full of sand, the light from
behind is obscured, except at the upper
corners Of the box, which are left I'M
filed from the manner in which the
sand flows into it forming small pyra-
mid. The drive wheel of passing en-
CINE depresses the lever connected with
the valve, displaces it, the sand drops
out and the bright light from the lamp
inside flashes through the red glass
and gives a signal Of danger to any
train coming on Immediately after.
When the train has passed the valve of
the box flies back, the sand from above
flows down and gradually reflls the
box; the figures atthe side, illuminated
by the light from the inside until COW
cred by the sand, indicate how many
minutes before, five, ten, or more, the
preceding train may have passed. In
the daytime the square of white sand in
contrast with the black boarding of the
house is considered sufficient indi-

A Clever Deception.

A church in Prussia was used as a
magazine for provisions for soldiers,
but great care was taken of the high
altar on account of the beauty of it's
construction. A rumor spread abroad
that the altar was mysteriously illu-
minated every night, and throngs of
people gathered about the church. The
commandment ordered the key and with a
lantern explored the church, but moth
ing was found to clear up the mystery,
but as soon as the church was empty,
the altar and whole church were again
The commandant issued a
proclamation offering reward to any
one who could unravel the mystery.
For two days no one claimed the re-
ward, but on the third common sol
der belonging to the fortress, requested
private audience with the command
ant, and explained to him that he was
occasionally employed to put frames to
mirrors and burning glasses, and one
evening when at work at, large con-
cave glass, it happened to be so placed
as to throw a light into the church,
when finding public curiosity excited he
often threw the light from the attic to
the altar. The commandment explained
to the public and gave the promised re-
ward to the joker. aar a

RarOnets as Drivers.

The other day baronet was fined
forty shillings at Marlborough Street
Police Court for driving Hanson cab
As the baronet had got no license he
was technically in the wrong, and can
not complain that penalty was in
ficted on him, but it is to be hoped that
this case will not deter other baronets
from acting as cab-drivers. If they
take out licenses, handle the reins and
whip with Judgment, avoid strong
drink, and are civil and obliging, they
will meet one of the most pressing re-
quirements of the day-namely, cab
drivers in whom the travelling public
can place confidence. There is no
more reason why baronet should not
drive cab than a peer four-horse
coach, and this latter occupation has of
late, as is well known, become favor
tie duty of the House of Lords.-PaU

The Wonders of Australia.

The Brisbane (Australia) Courier of
Dec. 80, 1873, publishes the following
official telegram from Mr.. Walter Hill,
the Government Botanist, dated from
Cardwell on the 9th and received by
the Queensland Secretary for Lands:
'sSince the Goth of November we have
examined the banks of the Mulgrave,
Russell, Mossman, Daintree and Hull
rivers, and have been more or less sue
cessful in finding suitable land for
sugar and semi-tropical production.
The ascent of the summit of Bellenden
Kerr was successfully made by John
stone, Hill and eight troopers. At2,5OO
feet in height we observed an unde-
scrlbed tree with crimson flowers,
which excels the Poinciana regia. Col
Villa racemosa, Lagerstoma regia, and
the Jacaranda mimosilolia. At 4,4OO
feet tree fern, which will excel in
grandeur all others of the Alboreous
class. A palm tree at the same height
which will rival any of the British-India
species In gracefulness. On the banks
OF the Dalntree we saw palm tree
cocoa, which Tar exceeds the unique
specimen in the garden of the same
genera from Brazil in grandeur and

Pear Culture.

IL. ~. IChIOy ISd1l UtIOIt bLc ldSt
meeting of the Champaign Qll) County
Horticultural Society valuable paper
on the above subject, from which we
extract the following:
The requisites for a healthy and sue
cessful pear orchard have the following
1. Land on which to plant the trees
that is naturally or artificially under
drained. No fruit tree will live long
where water will stand around the roots
three hours after rain. Mr.. Barry,
one of the most successful culturists in
the United States, says, cit don't
make SO much difference about the soil
if it is only dry" 2. You must have
healthy pear stocks grated or budded
with healthy cions or buds 3. That
the trees the first five years be allowed
to make an average annual growth of
not more than eighteen inches, and this
in the early part of the season, so the
wood will have time to mature well. I
think the best way to control this
growth is to seed the orchard to grass,
and if they need any stimulating, APP
ply manure on the surface. It is said
the best time to apply manure is about
the time or a little before they make
their second annual growth, as this is
the time the tree draws upon the soil
for nutriment. The food for the first
growth being stored up in the tree from
the previous season. 4. To always
have sharp knife in your pocket, and
keep it there unless you know how to
use it, and then only in cases of neces-
sity. If there are too many branches,
and the tree bears more fruit than it
can mature and make sufficient wood
growth, which should be at an average
of four to six inches, thin the fruit. If
trees are rightly managed the first five
years, they will need little pruning
afterward
think the best way to plant an or
chard for long live and sound trees
would be to plant the seed where you
wish the tree to remain and graft or
bud the stock. In this way you will
not have to cut the sap root or mutilate
any of the roots. Nature designed the
tap root for purpose, and when you
cut it off you strike at the life of the
plant This root is needed in time of
drought to supply moisture to the tree,
and in winter to go down below the
frost line to bring up moisture to sup
ply evaporation. Eeo5#a3ra1 1910.
You may say this way of planting is
too much trouble, and we will have to
wait too long for fruit. True, this may
be some trouble in successful fruit
growing. If you want fruit sooner
plant dwarf trees between your stan
dards, and they will bear in a few years
and be out Of your way by the time
they begin to crowd each other. I
don't know but there might be more
money made in given time say twen-
tyyears- by planting dwarfs altogether,
or root-pruning the standards, so as to
bring them into bearing early. and
when the trees begin to show signs of
death plant others between them, and
keep up renewal system.
In regard to varieties, for CONNER
cial orchard, [ think one or two good
varieties in their season are sufficient
The amateur may plant all the varieties
he can get, -'.-..a
