People away from this town, reading
OF the numerous sales that take place
weekly, wonder why parties owning
groves are so ready to sell. This is
easily explained. In the first place
those who homesteaded have found out
that or 10 acres of land planted to
orange trees, if properly cared for, is all
man can well look after, when the trees
come into bearing. Secondly those who
sell their groves buy unimproved land
and either start another grove or pur-
chase town lots and build stores or cot,
tages for rent. In this way the town
builds up. The instances of old settlers
selling out and leaving are very few.
Property continually changing hands is
a good sign. 1t shows the place is

THE Times. Reuiep wants the consti-
tutional convention question re-opened.
It happened that 10th State conven.
tions adopted planks calling for a
convention, but it was afterwards
learned that there was something
which savored OF jobbery in their
adoption. 1t was quietly limited that
the object Of the people who forced
the amendment clauses on the two
conventions was to have that part Of
the constitution, which prohibits spe-
cial legislation, omitted Some rail.
road companies wanted subsidies from
counties in the Eastern part of the
State, and tlrese could not be granted
on account of this prohibition. There
is no necessity for a convention; the
Legislature can propose any amend
ments needed, ard they can be adopted
by the people within the same time
and at much less expense than they
could adopt a new constitution sub
mitted by convention. There are
but few points, in which the csnsti.
tuition needs revision, and the Legisla.
ture ixmply able to place the needed
changes, before the people. An cleo
tion for members Of convention will
cost as much as any other election, land
the strife between opposing Interests
would subject it to the same unlawful
influences. The conversions itself.
would be costly. and its work would
be brown away if, when Submitted to
the people, any one clause should be
so Objectionable as to be defeated.
On the other hand the Legislature
can propose several amendments and
il some should not be carried the
entire work and time would not be

A Fortune.

A Western mining paper tells this story. "H. H. White, who has been working on the Dunkirk Mine for some time past, last Sunday while read ing the Bible under the large pines east of the mine about half a mile, becoming absorbed ill thought, unconsciously dropped the book from his hands in such a way that it fell over precipice about fifty feet high. Descending into the canyon to recover it, MT. White found it lying upward, open at the Gospel of St. Matthew, chapter viii, while a large piece of quartz, which had been dis lodged by its fall, lay on top, tearing a jagged hole in the seventh verse: Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.' Accepting this as good omen, MT. White searched, and, ill but a few moments, succeeded in locating the ledge, which was over two feet in width and assays $225, on an average, tc the ton. The mine is the richest thing yet struck in the district, and an offel of 5000, made to the fortunate owner
 of it, was declined.

An Object Lesson.

An object lesson in the transmutation of virtue is conveyed in this paragraph from an exchange:
 "Tennyson can take worthless sheet of paper, and by writing poem on 1t make it worth 5000. That's genius. Vanderbilt can write few words on a sheet and make it worth $5, ,000, 600. That's capital. The United States can take an ounce of gold, and stamp upon it an eagle bird and twenty dol lars.' That's money. The mechanic can take the material worth $5, and make it into watch worth $100. That's skill. Tho merchant can take an article worth % cents, and sell it for $l. That's business. A lady can purchase very comfortable bonnet for $10, but she pre- fers to pay $lOO. That's foolishness. The ditch-digger works ten hours day, and shovels out three or four tons of ! earth for $2. That's labor"

depth of water is no longer known at any point. the trade will have to go over the route around Sumarta and through the Straits of Malacca. All trade be- tween this country and the various ports among the Phillipine and Spice Islands, as we'll as the great China trade, will be diverted from the old course until the Strait of Sunda, transformed by the re- cent convulsions, can be sounded and the charts corrected. The Dutch Gov 'ernment will not delay this work, and the new charts will soon be in readiness.
 There is reason to believe that the loss of life will be over rather than under 4O,OOO, though of course the exactnum- province and the capital lie north of Bantam, and are separated therefrom by Q range of mountains which runs the whole length of the island. These mountains have been shaken and some portions of them have disappeared. In a part, at least, of the Batavian Resi- dency there has been wide spread de- struction; and while the Bantam district is not so densely populated, nevertheless it contained many villages of from 5000 to 10000 inhabitants which have been completely wiped out of existence. There were days and nights of awful terror and confusion, when thousands were trying in vain to hide from the rain of fire and the lava streams.
 The earth opened and swallowed them up, great waves of the sea overwhelmed them, the sulphurous air was thick with fiery and the thick darkness was rent by lightning, while thunder rolled and the mountains groaned and rumbled, ana ffightful explosions made deafening reports. We may try to picture how hundreds of thousands of people, panic stricked, ran to and fro, and prayed and cryed for parents seeking to save their children, husbands their wives, children their parents. But imagination could not picture the horrors of such Q dreadful scene as that which was lately witnessed on the eastern shores of the Sunda Strait, when tens of thousands of men, women and children were destroyed and many million tons of ashes and lava were thrown from the mountains upon the plains and into the sea.

 From the peasant up to the king; Has different tale from the tale tell, And different gong to sing. But f ore, and care not a single fig If they say am wrong or I'm right; shall always go in for the weaker dog, The under dog in the fight. know that the world-that the great big
 world
 Will never & moment stop To see which dog may be in fault, But will shout for the dog on top. But for mel never shall pause to ask Which dog may be in the right: For my heart will beat, while it beats at ah For the under dog in the fight. Perchance what I've said were better not said, Or 'twere better said it incog., But with heart and with glass filled chock to

HOW TIMETABLES ARE MADE.
The Delicate Work Necessary to Get X Them Ready for the Printers Hands.

One of the most laborious things con- road is the instituting of changes ill the table governing tue running of trains. Instead of it being done with pen and paper, as many may suppose, the entire running arrangement of all passenger aud freight trains, their cross F5jsis If fsSlfer trucks of passage their stops, and lost time are all calcu- lated by simple, common pins and spools of different colored threads. Before 8 time table or schedule is prepared the time chart, large sheet of drawing paper ssaafst stretched on smooth sur-> face and mounted on an easel. The chart is ruled either for two, five, or ten min- ute time by horizontal lines and perpen- dicular cross lines. The ''time" is marked above the horizontal line, and the distances, or stations and terminals, down the first perpendicular line. For illustration, 12 midnight is the mark on the first horizontal line, and each hour is marked until the twenty-fourth, or the following midnight hour, is reached on the last horizontal line Be- I tween the hour lines the space is divided into minutes and graduated as fine as desired. On a two-minute chart the space between the hours is divided into 10sininutes' time and the 10 minutes time into minutes time The hour lines are made heavy and the lesser time lines are of lighter shade to dis
 tinguish them. The one terminus of the road, Milwaukee, for instance, is marked on the first line beside the first time mark, 12 midnight. The other stations follow down the perpendicular line until the other terminal is reached. ! Then all is ready to prepare for the run ming arrangement, provided the pins and thread are ready.
 | A blue thread means passenger
 train, and a red thread freight train, and if the trains of other roads use part
 of the track they are designated by a different colored thread. It is calculated
 that the running time shall be, say,
 twenty-five miles an hour, and for the
 purpose of illustration, the tracing oi one passenger train will explain them all. A passenger train leaves Milwaukee al
 5 a. m. A pin is placed on the hori- zontal line at the 8 Q. m. time mark and 5ssle end of the blue thread fastened
 thereto. If the train runs without stop. lping for fifty miles, the blue thread k Estretched over opposite to the station al
 which the stop is made, and directly
 under the 10 a. m. time mark another
 pin is stuck, and the blue thread wrapped
 about it to keep it taut. If this Ii
 a stop, say, of forty minutes, the blue
 thread is stretched to the 1O:4O 8. m
 mark on 8 direct line with the same sta < tion, and another pin is stuck and th'
 blue thread wrapped. The train start
 and its entire course is thus timed ant distributed along the road. If the rail 1 road has, say, fifty or sixty passenge and freight trains running daily, thu chart, when completed, looks like grea spiders web stretched out with pins But little work then remains to transfe , the time and stations to the time-tabl and the schedule is ready for the printer
