A STEAM CARRIAGE.

To persons of small peeuniary means,
and also to invaids. there seems to be a
pleasant ard valuable luxury in prospect,
which will be within their reach at COM
paratively little cost. To keep a carriage,
however small, involves considerable ex-
pense; to hire cabs. nearly as much so,
and very unsatisfactory; and to make an
excursion and obtain the benefit of the air
in an omnibus would be decidedly mir
acle. No horses. nor coaehmen, will be
required for this new vehicle, which is
sufficiently large to hold three or four per-
sons. 1t will be propelled by steam, yet
without the noise and disagreeable smell.
or the danger of an explosion, which
hitherto have attended locomotives moved
by such means. The burner is modifi-
cation of the benzoline lamp. and only
one pound weight of water is heated at a
time; so that such a small quantity OF
water would do no harm. even could it
burst the strong halt-inch pipe. After fill
ing and lighting the burner there will be
nothing more to be done during the drive
but to guide the course of the carriage by
the reins, and vary the speed, start or stop
by sliding the foot on pedal. The small
vehicle at present in question goes at
rate of eight miles an hour on the level,
and and at about four up moderate hills;
but it could be so arranged as to 90 at
greater speed. The weight of steam
power does not add more to that of an or
dinary dog-cart than about lS0 pounds.
As to the cost of the benzoline used in the
burner, it amounts to about three-half
pence mile. These locomotives make no
smoke nor Objectionable noise, and are
much more under control than a horse;
and thns. on every account, it is to be
hoped that an amendment will be obtained

~ Farm Wastages.

That we live in an era of wasteful
ness is truism beyond dispute, and
the only redeeming feature about it
is that we are not only contracting
our wasteful habits but also utilizing
the wastages of the past, as is attested
by the use we are now making of the
thrown away materials about our
mines and manufactures, such as Stag,
coal dust, and even of scrap tin and
leather.
In the last quarter OF a century a
great economy has been effected by
making use of the night soil of our
cities and other crowded localities in
the manufacture Of valuable fertil-
izers, still an immense wastage in
that same item is continually going
on through the neglect of the farmer
to have his home night soil saved;
each year we throw away gross ma
terial enough to enrich the greater
portion of our open lands.
Every farmer should have on his
place covered vat or cement cistern
large enough to contain many barrels,
and every particle Of the night soil
fluid and otherwise, should be
saved that is conveniently possible.

The Mandarin Orange.
By ARTHUR H. MANvILLE.

Written for the Florida Agriculturist.
The nomenclature of the citrus
family is exceedingly confused. Not
only is this the case with the many
different varieties, but there is great
difference of opinion among learned
men as to the number and character.
istics of the species. OF no race of
the genus is this more true than the
Mandarin, or Mandarin orange.
There are several varieties of the
Mandarin orange in this State, which
are known by as many different local
names. Trees ofthis type are, how
ever, generally known by the name
OF Tangierine; following the nomen-
clature which prevails in some parts
OF Europe, though the name is entire.
'sIy Mes1rCss1ig III TIC inosC fNoToug
scientific European works on the
citrus. Those authors who do de.
scribe the Tangierine orange give TO
it precisely tire same characteristics
as to the Mandarin orange. This,
together with many corroborating
e facts, leaves no doubt but that the
names are used synonomously. From
the fact that it can be eaten without
soiling ones gloves, and from its re,
semblance to a tomato. it has been
called, in this State, the "kid glove
or tomato orange;" these names are
scarcely worthy OF being classed as
synonyms. The name Tangierine
probably originated from Its being
cultivated in Tangiers, in Morocco
and thence introduced into other
countries. The great work by Risso
OF Nice, and Porteau, Of Versailles
probably the most celebrated an6
complete ever written on the citrus
family, makes no mention of the Tan
gierine orange, but gives to the Man
DARN orange those characteristic
which we find in the thornless viii
low-leaved" Tangierine orange o
Florida. The Mandarin orange is
therefore, that peculiar type Of thu
citrus known in Florida as the Tan
gierine orange.
Botanists differ as to the species o
the citrus; some derive all the race
from one primary type, while other
multiply the species adj i'yfaitum'
They are most commonly divided
into six species, viz: The sweet or
ange &C. Gsrdntiuns); the bitter or
ange &C. vulga'Ts, or q bigradiG)
the lemon &c. lenao',iuoa); the linn
&c. ac;da, or c. hmetta); the citroI

One result ofthe protracted drought
is that orange trees are shedding
their fruit very badly, especially
young trees. Ifexcessive wet wealth

all the young fruit will drop.
