The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1881-03-23

In the city of New York. between
June Goth and August 9th, 1868,
there occurred 20S deaths from sun
stroke. During this period the ther-
mometer registered 100' and above
tour times. The highest point at
tanned being 1889. The mean TEN
perature Tor July was SIC. The
mean relative humidity for the period
being 6S.5. During the heated days
reported by Mr.. Smith, the mean rel
ative humidity was but 55.7; 1876
per cent. less than that in New York;
and at 2 o'clock P. NJ, the humidity
was but 419. / have referred to the
subject OF mean relative humidity,
because it is subject but little un-
derstood by the masses; and it is
being used by interested parties in
other states to injure Florida. The
opinion is wide spread, that the at
mosphere OF this State is "moist and
sedative," and by some it Is asserted
that it is "loaded with moisture"
Hence it is time that the facts re-
gardiug-PeniDSular FlCrida-were
published 10 She world, and the
maligners OF the State held up to
public censure.
There is no such thing as a perfect
climate. Florida has its climate de.
fects, but this is no reason why 1t
should be lnisrepresented and IN.
jured Tor the advancement Of indi-
viduals. TO correct errors, and an.
rnually place reliable facts, and data
before the world a State Board Of
Health should be established. Other
States have found them useful, and
why should our State neglect an i'm.
portaut duty. 1t every death occur
ing i'll the State could be registered,
and reliable mortuary returns pub
lished annually, our State would not
be misrepresented. The publication
OF our mortuary returns, diseases,
and meteorological reports would
materially aid in increasing immigra.

telligent settler who is the head of a
family adds 81 900 to the capital of
the State. And if the establishment
of State Board OF Health added but
three such to our population annually
the account would be balancedi The

1t has often been remarked, that a
severe case of sunstroke has not oc-
CURED in this State; and have been
amused at the reasons assigned tor
the absence of this affection. The
non-occurrence of sunstroke can be
easily accounted for, as sequence of
the low relative humidity, the exis-
tence of breeze during the day, and
the refreshing enervatlng and bracing
effects of cool and delightful nights.
To illustrate the importance of a
breeze TO cool the body, | need but
refer to the process called tanning.
by the use Ut u tan the atmosphere is
kept in motion, evaporation from the
surface is increased, heat is conducted
from the body and its temperature is
reduced.
TO show the importance of low
humidity, we will remark. that in
Jacksonville for the last two years,
there has occurred an unusually high
thermal range; and we append a
table kindly furnished by the OBJ
server in charge.

PICTURES BY TELEGRAPH.
One Of the Most Marvellous Of Modern
Inventions.

One Of the Most Marvellous Of Medern
Inventions.
From the American Queen. New York.
1t certainly is fact that, by recent
invention pictures of all kinds can now
be sent by by telegraph. ColOrs can not
be transmitted, but all the pictures
which result from combinations of light
and shade, such as photograph, steel en-
cravings, wOOd-cut prints, India-ink
sketches, pen sketches and crayon pic
lures are reproduced in five minutes, at
a distance of 100 miles with astonishing
accuracy. Checks have been 80 faith
fully copied by this process that the copy
has been hOnOred at the bank without
question. New York newspapers have
been reproduced in Philadelphia entire
the image being sent by telegraph,
and every faintest dot and blemish
brought out on paper. We should be
glad to tell the readers of the Queen ex-
actly how this is done, but is by chemi-
cal process so complicated as to defy ex-
PLANTATION in ordinary terms. Nature
(the recognized authority in science in
England) comes as near as possible, per-
haps, when it says: in the transmitter
the image was focused on revolving
cylinder, to which a Selenium cell Is
attached. At the other end of the wire
a platinum point presses against the
surface of sensitive paper prepared by
passing it through a strong solution OF
equal parts of iOdide of potassium and
water. The arrangements is such that
the selenium cell, by intercepting the
current. causes a white spot to appear
on the receiver, corresponding in shape
and size to the picture focused on the
transmitting cylinder. The experiments
are crude, but full of promise" This is
not quite intelligent to the average
reader, because the facts of the case call
for scientific terms, and cannot be ex-
pressed in popular phraseol0gy. But the
important fact is that the pictures are
sent; that photographs are admir-
ably reproduced at a distance; and
that, if the promise of the invention is
fulfilled, New York paper will soon be
reprinted in Chicago on the very day,
and perhaps the very hour, of issue. So
much that is incredible has been
made a fact during the last half century
that he must be bold man who ventures
to place a boundary to the possible
achievements of scientific ingenuity In
this wonderful age.

Lansing Republican.
On Tuesday afternoon the house passed
its substitute for the senate "bill to ap-
portion anew the representatives among
the several counties and districts of this
state" Little doubt exists that the SEN
ate will concur. The ratio is fixed at
1888 inhabitants for each representa-
tive, being One-hundredth part of the
entire population of the state, according
to the recent census. As required by
the constitution, q representative is as
signed to ca IN county having more than
half of the above ratio, as nearly as may
be without increasing the total number
100, and the commissioning less than
half the ratio are grouped together,
there being ten districts thus cOnstitut-

The London England Miller for
April indicates that American COMPETE
ton is greatly impairing the milling
interests of Great Britain, and respectfully
of Scotland. The Glasgow millers are
greatly excited because the imports of
American -four have ruined the market
for Scotch products. This Is owing to
the superior quality of our wheat and
our excellent process for producing the
greatest quantity of the best -four. The
Miller consoles its readers with the idea
that our rich wheat-producing lands
will ere long become exhausted, 80 that
competition will cease.

THE great reduction of the star route
service made by Postmaster General
James. which has already saved $780,
