THE HUDSON RIVER APPLE CROP
Apple picking on the Hudson River
will begin in earnest in about week,
and all reports represent the crop as
one of the finest ever raised both III
regard to quality and quantity. Grow
ers state that much of the crop will be
shipped direct to Europe. The Ger
man, English and French apples will
be of little account this season, and the
growers along the Hudson river are
aware of the fact. For years the busl-
ness of shipping Baldwins and Green
ings to London, Liverpool and Glas-
gov has been steadily growing, but
this fall there is every reason to be-
lieve all previous consignments will be
q mere bagatelle alongside of the ar
ray of barrels that will reach New
York for transportation across the At
lantic. The apple growers expect to
receive good prices, and, as general
! thing only the very best of the choicest
varieties will be exported by the men
who have given the subject attention.
/ They say it does not pay to send second
and third-class fruit as Europeans have
enough of that and to spare at home.

John w. Garrett, President of the

A MOsQUITO's APPARATus.-An En-
glish scientist had an American mos
quito under the microscope, and finds
it to be thoroughly equipped surgeon.
In it's bill are five instruments-al lance
two meat saws, a suction pump, and n
small steam engine.
1t appears that when a "skeeter !"
settles down to his work upon a nice
tender portion of the human frame,
the lance is first pushed into the flesh 4;
then the two saws, placed back to back,
begin to work up and down to enlarge
the hole; then the pump is inserted,
and the victims blood is syphoned up
to the reservoirs, carried behind, and,
finally, the wretch drops a quantity of
poison into the wound to keep it irrita-
ted.
Then the dimutive fiend takes II fly
around just to digest your gore, and
makes tracks for fresh victim; or, if
the first one has been of unusually
good quality, he returns to the same
happy hunting grounds.

HOG CHOLERA AND THE CURE.-In
view of the fact that hog cholera
has become epidemic in some sections
of the county, it may not be out of
place to make room for the following
remedy taken from an exchange:
Every paper in the United States
should occasionally keep the fact be-
fore its readers that burnt corn is a
certain and speedy cure for hog chOle-
IA. The best way is to make pile of
corn on the cObs, effectually scorch it,
and then give the diseased hogs free
access to it. This remedy was discOv-
cred by a Mr.. Docks, at the time his
distillery was burned, in Fulton
county, Ill. A lot of stored corn was
in the distillery at the time of the fire
and was so injured as to be rendered
unfit for use. 1t was hauled out anC
given to the hogs, and they devOured
it greedily. Before they had partaker
of this corn several had died, but after
the second days partaking not single
hog was lost, and the disease entirel!
disappeared. The remedy has beer
tried in a number of cases and ha
never failed.

Progress at Petrolia.

Mr.. Bdrdett Chandler, Superintendent
of the Chandler Oil Company, was in the
city yesterday. He commenced the
business Of refining the petroleum oil
from the wells of the company on Satur.
day, and produced from the dark brown
green oil beautiful colorless lubricating
oil, with an inoffensive odor. After run.
ming out about 20 barrels. the solder in
some parts of the pipes was melted, and
the work was suspended. Mr.. Chandler
brought up the melted joints yesterday,
and will have them brazed with brass
and zinc, and again set to work. II ap
pears that the refinery was for distilling
grapes into brandy, which did not re-
auire the same intensity of heat az the
distillation Of oil. so the soldered joints
that answered the requirements in dis
tilling brandy could not stand the heat
required for oil, and brazing has been
required to take the place of solder. The
experiment appears to have been en-
tirely satisfactory, and shows that
Petrolia can produce . fine quality OF
refined lubricating Oil.
Mr.. Chandler has also set up wind
mill, which pumps a well with no ex.
pense Of fuel or fireman, aud NO damage
to boiler fiues from brackish water. This
appears to be capital idea. as the wells
are open to the sea.breeze. which flows
from 10 A. n. to 8 P. NJ. during five
months OF summer and autumn. This

pumping. which will be Of great sd.
vantage to the company and will bring
NO danger Of fire from the furnace Of an
engine. Well number 8 has been begun,

already been sank. Well number 2 is

Canyada to be Lighted by Electricity

DR.. D. B. Briggs has been exploring
cienega in the left branch OF the Pick
ems Canon, north Of his sanitarium, and
by making ditch but twelve feet in
length, he found at least fifty per cent.
increased flow of water for the supply of
the Canada Colony. BY running tun-
nels into the mountains, ten times the
water needed can be supplied.
1t is now proposed to bring the water
just developed in an iron pipe down to
the sanitarium, where q fall of more
than 100 feet would be secured. Here
small turbine water wheel will be placed
and o dynamo of 1000 candle power
that,will light the whole valley with de-
licious electric light. The power will
cost nothing and no water will be
wasted. The whole lighting can he
done for $3.50 on short mast, or on
series Of short masts. There is no use
for tall masts with their additional ex-
pense. for the elevation is such that
mast 30 feet high can be seen from every
part Of the rancho, and from ships off
the harbor Of San Pedro. The project
is feasible and will cost but little, while
the results to the colony will be i'm.
meuse.

"Confusion."

This exquisite comedy was presented
at Childs' Opera House last night to .
large and sppreciative audience, com
prising many Of our most cultivated peo-
pie. 1t is no exaggeration to say that.
from the opening to the closing line,
the house was in q rear Of laughter.
As q smere agent in producing. in ca
pable hands, stacks and stacks Of hi
larity, it has no equal since Dundreary
was practically retired by the death Of
Sothern. The plot turns upon the
fact that the young wife Of 'Morti-
mer Mumpleford" desires o pet pug,
which her good -natured uncle, "Chris-
topher Blizzard" undertakes to pro-
cure for her against the decided pro.
test of her husband; while the butler
and lady's maid of the household,
though Bretepding to be single. are in
reality married and have sick baby
in q hospital ip the city. Mes
sages and teiegrams arriye concern.
ing the pug. Ditto concerning the
baby. Both finally arrive ct Jer-
sey Lodge. The whole thing is SO
managed As to make the husband regard
the child of his servant as his wife's by
an intrigue before their marriage, and .
thousand confretemps. spring from very
skillful handling Of the pug and OF the
baby, In both cases veritable creatures of
flesh and blood. Even Billiards. affair
Of tbs heart with q spinster Of uncertain
age is complicated. Suffice it to say
that everything Is st last satisfactorily
explained, and halo Of sunshine settles
down on all the dramatis persoNas. The
play is simply an Ola podrida Of all sorts
Of toothsome things in the comedy line.
Mr.. Nat. G. Goodwin as Christopher
Blizzard Is simply inimitable. He de-
velops resources Of unctuous humor
which are not exceeded, II they are sp-
preached, by any man on the American
stage to-day. His facial play, his
intonations, his antics and tricks
Of walking, laughing, crying. are
all Of : very superior grade. The
Miss Lucrezis Tr.ckleby of Miss
Maria Davis was very meritorious
piece Of comedy, and proves that lady
to be an actress OF sterling grade. The
Rose Mumpleford OF Miss Adele Waters
was o vivacious and pleasing impersona
tion, and the effect was highly reinforced
by her beautiful face and figure. The
Mortimer Mumpleford of Mr.. ]. r.
Crauford was q clear-cut and satisfactory
characterization. In fine. for lessenine
space compels ms to retrench further in
