Why He Don't Come.

A lady in this city who had been urging a friend in Caliior. mia to come to Arizona, received a reply a lew days ago declining the in yitation, and among other things gave the following reasons, which are noi altogether new to many readers of the CITIZEN:
 |" When think of Tucson I am reminded of an incident which hap Ecned there in ante railroad days. A hungry traveller stopped at a reStaur- ant and demanded the " bIll of fare. '" The waiter rehearsed the list of eat ables, which was not very extensive, and one of the principal dishes was teal.
 |" Teal" says the hungry man, ' what is teal:"
 "' Teal is a kind of bird."
 '' A bird! And had 1t wings?"
 Certainly, It had wings"
 " Could it fly"
 " Of course it could fly. Will you have sOmc:'
 |" No X blvd that had wings and could fly that would stay in this - country, ain't fit 10 eat. I don't want any"
 Then, too, 1 remember about Mark Twain telling of one of our soldiers stationed at Yuma that sickened and died, and tradition states that he was not carried to Abraham's bosom, but, on the contrary, went to the place that was separated by a great gulf -the identical residence of Dives; but instead of eNperiencing the same inconvenience that Dives did he seEt to his comrades for another pair of blankets as the climate was so cool that he could not stand it alter hIs residence in Arizona.
 So please excuse me from moving to Arizona, as have an aversion to a warmer climate, at least any warmer than Dives found it.

Cars Run by Electricity.

NaAs nun bN
 LONDON, May 13.-Siemens and Halske, the well known Berlin cleo tricisns, gave to-day a public trial of their new electric railroad, which runs between Lychesterfeld and Ca dettenhouse, six miles from Berlin. The trial was a success. It was made on a simple train car, with an electTi- cal battery concealed between the wheels. It was carried through on rails on which it ran, with the princi- pal battery at the station. The rails are thirty nine inches apart, and eX- sctly resemble those of the ordinary railroad gauge. being narrower. The greatest speed obtained was eighteen English miles an hour. If necessary greater speed could be obtained, but this was not allowed by the police authorities The railway will be opened to the public on Monday.

Science and Agriculture.

This lack Of adequate development in agri-
culture is due to two main causes: to the
rarity of scientific investigation into the prin-
ciples upon which the tilling of the ground
(and the care of cattle) ought to be carried
out. g., into the laws governing the growth
of crops and of beasts--and to the want Of
adequate scientific training on the part of
the farmer. So far from being an occupation
which any one may follow without adequate
preparation, being governed by simply rude
empiric rules, farming is in reality dificult
art, demanding wide scientific knowledge and
| sound scientific judgment on the part even
Of him who merely practices it, and taxing to
the utmost the skill and power of original in
quiry of those who desire to advance its scien-
tfdbasis. There is an urgent need in this, ,as in
other countries, of scientific investigation, as
distinguished from mere empiric trials, of
sustained inquiry as distinguished from scat
tered and fitful experiments. into the rela-
tions Of soil and crops, of beasts and food, in
| order that the tillage Of the land may, like
the practice of other professions in which
man has to struggle against nature, expand
| with increasing insight into the laws of na-
ture instead Of being hampered by blind
OBJ .Iierce to traditions and narrowed by tim
| id cai. nnce. There il no less urgent need
that III practical farmer should be so far
trained Ia science as to be able to make an
intelligent use of the advantages which science
offers him, As well as to be able to avoid the
Lsnares which false science continually spreads
for him. MacmiiLan's Magazine.
