FUNG0ID DISEASES.

- " CCCCt6LtILSL.
In days gone by, when 7 invadei
your sanctum, I occasionally borei
you regarding fungoid diseases more
especially with reference to our stanle
? product, o., the orange: Orange culture
Is an important industry, and if we
can guard the trees from insect and
iungold enemies, the orange crop will
become a source of great revenue to
the State. eN"e 70
insect enemies are discoverable
without the aid of Instruments and
as rule are easily DESTROYED. The
germs OF fungi are microscopic oh.
Jeects, and so small and LIGHT thai
they are waited far and wide bv av
cry wind. AS familiar forms ~ 4,n

stance that forms on the leaf of the

siphe on the grape, red rust on cereals,
timber fungus or dry rot, and the
mould that forms On jam, bread and
shoes in Summer time,
Dust and minute substances INDY be
transported long distances by the air.
On examination the air of Berlin was
found to contain substances derived
from the African deserts. Sails of
ships 600 to 800 miles at sea off the
African coast, are at times made quite
red with the sand that lodges upon
them, and that has been transported
from the African desert Dust storms
in the south Atlantic are not infre-
quent, the earthly particles having
been transported from the interior Of
South America. l witnessed one of
these off the coast of Buenos Ayres
300 miles from land. If PARTICLES OF
the soil, can be transported such long
distances, spores of fungi only discov-
cradle by good microscopes can be
easily transported hither, and thith-
er, and ultimately affect an extensive
area. Hence the Importance of fun
gold diseases.
But tie microscope has developed
the fact that independent of sand and
dust, there arenumerous living things
in the atmosphere. Ehrenburgh dis
covered over 200 forms-ahizopods,
tardegrades and inguillule. These
can be dried and still retain their vi
tality for months and even years.
Angus Smith, through the medium of
carefully conducted experiments, en-
.deavored to form an estimate, and ar
rived at the conclusion that there
were at least 100000 germs in one
cubic foot Of air Of city. Spores OF
fungi are common III the air, and the
largest number offorms found by Mad
dox in 10 hours was250. Angus Smith
found in water through which the air
of Manchester was forced, innumer-
able spores. DR.. Daner calculated
that in a single drop of the water
25Oy@00 fungoid spores as well as my
celuiEa were present. Reliable state
ments, without end could be quoted
illustrating the unsuspeeted number
of fungoid spores that contaminate
the atmosphere, their rapid develop,
ment and destructiveness.
As an illustration of the rapid
spread of fungoid disease l shall re-
fer to the potato blight. The disease
appeared and in a few years it spread
to almost every civilized portion Of
the globe, and the diminished produc-
tion of this esculent, entailed great
suffering more especially in Ireland.

1T is safe to say that at least two. third.
OF the, official salaries in the State conId
be reduced from 20 to 9Oper cent. without
doing the incumbents injustice. Lepis.

cal is very much needed. San Frqncis-
co Call. ''''N''
Such may be the case in other sections
but in this county official salaries have
already been lowered until tits matter
OF some difficulty to find candidates. The
County Clerk is er-o6icio Recorder and
Auditor, and the Sheriff er>o6icio Tax
Collector. These two offices each have a
living in them-nothing more aside
from these there is not an office in the
county that man can afford to accent
unless he has some other business in con-
nection Herewith. The Assessor is paid
we'll for the work done, but is employed
less than half the time.

The Parent OF insomnia.

The parent of insomnia or wakefu!ness
is in nine cases out of ten dyspeptic
stomach. Good digestion gives sound
sleep, indigestion interferes with it. The
brain and stomach sympathize. One of
the prominent symptoms of a weak state
of the gastric organs is disturbance of
the great nerve entrepot, the brain. In
vigorate the stomach, and you restore
equilibrium to the great centre. A most
reliable medicine for the purpose is Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, which is far
preferable to mineral sedatives and pow
erful narcotics which, though they may
for time exert soporiAc influence upon
the brain. soon cease to act, and invaria-
bly, injure the tone of the stomach. The
Bitters, on the contrary, restore activity
10 the operations of that all important or
gan, and their beneflcient influence is re-
liected in sound sleep and tranquil state
of the nervous system. A wholesome
impetus is likewise given to the action Of
the liver and bowels by its use.

ONE SPAN GoNE.-This end of Low
denis bridge across Trinity river at Grass
Valley, went out entirely on Tuesday
last. We have heretofore referred to il as
being down and in an unsafe condition.
The span which went down stream was
eighty feet long but is not regarded rs
much loss, the lumber being old and rot
ten, although the iron in it was probably
worth $500 or $500. This however may
he saved, if it has not gone too far. Mr..
w. S. Lowden thinks new span can be
put in about as easily rs the old one could
have been raised and secured, and it GER
tainly will be much better. In the pres
ent condition Of weather and water it will
be some time before the lost part of the
bridge can be replaced, and all travel from
below must now cross Phillips bridge at
Lewiston.
