DroutIi and Fire.

1t has been reduced almost
to Il certainty by observation
and experience; that the dcs-
truction of the forests and open
ing of farmes has had an effect
on the climate The removal
Of the forests exposes the earth
to the blaze of the sun which
draws up the moisture and
bakes the ground and prevents
that quick and regular cooling
which insures abundant rain
and dew. For years and years
the forest has been giving way
to the inroads of the axe and
nature has been defied. Nature
is very exacting and any in
( fragments of her laws are
punished sooner or later. The
drouths that have prevailed
during the past summer are re-
garded by many as the natural
consequence of the destruction
Of the forests. 1t is suggested
as remedy that every farmer
and land owner plant a few
trees on his farm, this it is said
would not only avert drouths
but the trees would grow up
into valuable timber. which at
the present rate of consumption
will soon be scarce and in great
demand. Because of the drouth
there has been the most des-
tructive forest fires ever known
in the history of the country.
The loss of life has been ap-
palling and the destruction of
property immense.

Watches Which Gain or Lose.

A watch which varies in regular
manner is superior to any whose varia-
tion is uncertain, and where it's variation
comes to be familiar, the watch may vie
with the most delicately adjusted ships
chronometer. Suppose, for instance,
your watch gains minute month.
Take into consideration the fact that in
your watch the balance wheel (by which
it is regulated) makes five oscillations
every second, which equals 49,, 900 per
day, so that your watch, exposed to all
the vicsisitudes which heat and cold oc-
casion, the varying weight of the air and
shaking to which it is subjected by car
rying, has not varied over a minute a
month or two seconds day. It has only
acquired with each vibration of the bal
ance a variation of a::sixteen thousandth
part of second. Judge, then, what
must be the extreme perfection Of the
mechanism Of your. watch. A watch
cannot go for an indefinite period with
out being repaired or cleaned. At the
expiration of certain time the oil dries,
dust accumulates, and "wear and tear .
are the sure results to the machinery,
the functions becoming irregular and
frequently ceasing to act altogether.
Persons possessing fine watches, and de-
sirous OF preserving them as such, should
have them cleaned once in every two
years.

Rather Fjorjd,

The Tallahassee FZorid5an contains
the following remarkable statement:
eve saw yesterday at the drug store of
w. A. Rawis the skull of Florida
celebrity, Old Joe, a gigantic alligator
which since 1887, has inhabited the
island near the old United States marine
hospital, at the junction of the St. Marks
and Wakulla rivers, in Wakulla county.
This island, which was the home of the
monster, has been known as 'Joe's
Island for many years. The old fellow
who has been a target for innumerable
harmless shots all his life, at last fell
victim to the skill of Mr.. James L.
Oliver, on the 9th day of October, A.
D., 1880. When dissected his stomach
contained hog weighing about seventy
five pounds, five large six-by-eight inch
chunks of wood, three time rocks,
weighing three or four pounds each, q
brass howitzer loaded, and chop-axe,
with q small piece of handle, it being
mostly digested. The axe was used by
fishermen for cutting the heads of fish
off, and, being missed, it was supposed
some one had stolen it, His length was
only thirteen feet, hiscircumference that
of large tierce. When first noticed on
the Island of joe he was q large alli-
gator, forty-four years ego. He at times
disappeared for months, but when he re-
turned would take up his abode on or
near tJoe's Island, his old home" -
