already planted out. When we think
Of the fine weather of the past two
years, and especially of the very
heavy rainfall of the one just closed,
and compare this with the weather of
the preceding years, we are led to ask,
what can be the cause of so striking a
change? If we cannot answer this
question ~positively,we can give dis
tinct negative answer, which is that
the increased rainfall certainly did not
depend on any local circumstances.
Except in the effects of the good
weather, the island has been in the
same general condition during the wet
as during the dry years. Moreover
the cause Of the extreme wet weather,
whatever it may have been, was clear
ly something affecting the globe at
large. In almost all places there has
been an excessive rainfall. Stories of
foods have come in from all sides,
from France, Hungary, Spain, and
England, and nearer home from Ja-
maica and from Panama. The same
cause has produced abundant crops
in the West Indies, unheard of har-
vests in North America, and bad har-
vests in the damp climates of Western
Europe, where the want is usually not
more rain but more sun. There is some
value in this negative answer, for it
is not long since we were told that
the true reason of the dry weather of
Santa Cruz was the want of trees.
Now we do not mean to deny that
trees exercise some influence on the
rainfall that is a well established
scientific fact. But it must be remem-
bered that the really valuable obser-
vations on which this conclusion
rests have been made in the neigh
bourhood Of large forests, and
their results become less and less
applicable as the area under considera-
ton decreases. The area Of Santa
Cruzisverysmall, and, while we would
wish to see tree-planting encouraged
on general grounds, we should not
expect it to make any measurable
difference in the rainfall. When a
resident of Santa Cruz visits all island
like Porto Rico or ever the smaller
Volcanic islands like ST. Kits, OBJ
serves the growth of lofty trees which
covers their upper portions, and learns
how much greater their rainfallis than
ours, heimmediatelythink thatif Santa
Cruz were thus clothed with trees it
would have an equal amount of rain.
But would it be 500 It would not;
for the true cause Of the greater rain
fall in these islands is not the differ
ence of their vegetable covering but
the greater height. The mountains of
Porto Rico reach an elevation OF near
ly 300 #. while the highest point OF
Santa Cruz is not quite 1900 #. above
the level Of the sea. The greater
height of the small volcanic islands al
so was strikingly brought home to us
lately by the observations of Mr.. ODER,
the American naturalist recently
travelling in the West Indies. He re-
marks that the vegetation of the vol
canic islands forms three zones, the
lowest or cultivated reaching a height
of1500 f., the next or forest zone ex-
tending to $500 it., and above that the
region of ferns. The line where the
forest beCiws is therefore 800 Fl. higher

WHAT TWO LHASING MEN SAY OF IIS PuhLiCA
TON.
Yesterday an APPEAL reporter dropped IN
to Harris brothers store and asked about the
black list which it is alleged they had gwen to
Palm d. Co. Mr.. Harris said tina: he had
given such a list to Palm IL Co. as the Times
had stated, and did not regret that he had
done So except from the fact that She list had
been made public Printed black lists had
been in vogue all over the coast for years and
were common among merchants. They are
kept for the protection Of business men against
non paying customers
HARRISS BLACK LIST.
Here is our black list said Mr.. Harris
''anybody can look at it He showed the
reporter book containing the names of about
. hundred citizens of Carson.
Gan these people have been owing
counts from six months to three years. There
is not a single name on there who is not able
to pay, and the name IF no person goes on
the list who has not had q bill presented at
least dozen times. 1t is onite an easy mat
ter to get your name OH the list. you SIMPLY
step up and pay what you owe This list is
not intended fer publication but it is open
f?g anyone to see" On this list, the reporter

he asked.
Mr. Harris shrugged his shoulders and
laughed

BROKEN AT THE WHEEL.-At cleck on
last Sunday morning Patrick McGoven, an
employee at the Brunswick mill, fell against
the shaft of the fly wheel and was literally
broken to pieces. II is supposed that while
sitting alongside the wheel he fell asleep and
leaning against the shaft was caught by the
clothes and whired around with lightning
like rapidity. He was a horrible sight when
taken away from the machinery and died in
fifteen minutes. He was native of Ireland,
single, and % years of age. The funeral took
place from the Catholic church yesterday
afternoon

MASON AND 60.

MIR. Mason also had a black list, the same
as every business man i'll Carson has. He said
that merchants showed their lists to each
other. For instance man who owes for
several months, and refuses to pay, is publish
ed and refused further credit. He goes to
another store, and before opening an account
the new man knowing that he was one of my
customers. comes up and asks if his name is
on my list. Some have plenty of money and
have owed small bills for year. Men who
are unfortunate and cannot pay are not put
on the list, only those who have the means
and try shirk their obligations go down.
1t is foolish for such people to scour, and If
bad paying people get mad because we keep
black list, they can keep away from Us which
is just what we want No man who IS dis
posed to do the fair thing is ever bothered
over the black list

DUFFERDiNK's MULE.
-tiaold Hill SsSs.j M

: Mr.. Dufferdink, down in Lower Gold
Hill, has, or had, mule that can out
kick any of them. Yesterday morning
Dutfer was going out on a prospecting
trip, and had his mule in front of the
house, packing things on his back. Sud-
denly the mule changed the programme.
He waltzed his business end around and
sent old Duffer whizzing through the
kitchen window and out into the south
east corner of the woodshed. Then he
gently whetted his hind feet together,
like a fly does when he spits on his hands,
gave his belly vigorous grippe and
bumped his back like cat. The saddle
split in two with a report like pistol,
and sent everything right straight up in
the air over ninety feet.
The mules eyes twinkled and his ears
waved hilariously as he met the sack of
flour with the flat of both hind hoofs
coming down, and the exploded flour
sailed off to the leeward like big fog
cloud. He met every article in the same
way in the air before it touched the
ground, with the precision Of Bogardus
Or DR.. Carver, sometimes having to kick
three ways at once, and fairly snickered
with Joy at his success. The camp-kettle
landed in Washoe Valley, the bacon in
Genoa, shower of potatoes was noted at
Sutro, and the last that was seen of the
mule he was rushing off toward Como to
meet the fry-pan, which he saw coming
down in that direction.
Old Dufferdink sat propped up in front
of his house till sunset, with shotgun
across his lap, waiting for that mule to
come back, also for any man who might
bring him back.
