ILLUSIONS OF THE STAGE.
From the New York Star.

From the New York Star:
With the increase of the realism on
the stage there is also an increase of IL
lusions which tax the ingenuity Of clever
men behind the scenes, and often be-
wilder the most intelligent Of she authors
Some of these effects that occasion an
1proar Of applause, and necessitate the
raising OF The curtain repeatedly on a
fovorite tableau, are ridiculously simple.
For instance, when the young hero of
the modern melodrama plunges into the
canvas river from the set dock in the left
fourth entrance, his disappearance is
marked BY dash Of spray uprising in
foamy drops that glitter in the glaring
calcium light the effect of this from the
front is thrilingly real. II you stood at
the side scene, however, and saw a
rough carpenter crouching in the trap
behind the set water with @ handful of
salt, ready to throw it up after the hero
has landed on thematt:ess placed to re-
eeive him, you wouldn't feel so enthusi-
astic. The inclination would be rather
to laugh than to cheer. -.....4
" For some time even old stagers were
puzzled by an allusion in one of the
French operas as played by Aimee last
season. In one Of the comic scenes
while the comedicnne, disguised as a
waitress, was pouring out tea at table
on the scene, she poured it inadvertentl
down the neck Of the dignifed comedy
character Of the play. It seemed q
boiling liquid that came from the yes

scalding every night and showed no evil
effects the next day. At last it trans

filled the teapot with a very fine saw
dust, which ran out smoothly like a iq-
mid, dust Of its finer particles at the.
same time rising from the spout like

those of the medler tree, axillary, soli-
tary, and formed of five oval petals, ter
minated by sort of guard like long
finger-nail, and enclosing twenty or
twenty-five stamens, with free filaments
surrounding short and globulous pistil,
which changes into fruit looking like
an orange, yet containing, within seven
sections, glutinous and disagreeable
pulp.
Thumbers's description accOrds with
that by Kaempfer, but he says nothing
of the number and position of stamens.
1t appears, however, that he supposed
them to be the same as i'll the Citrus tri-
foJiuta of Kaempfer, seeing that he ram
ges this that he describes ia the class
Polydelphia, order Icosandria-
Loureiro reports as Citrus tritottdtd, a
plant resembling that of Kaempfer and
Thumberg in many traits, yet OF which
the flower is totally different, and he, in
Consequence, makes it a separate genus,
which he classes in the Pentandria Mon
ogynia, under the name of triphdsid at
rGatiOld.
This discord, which does not escape
his observation, leads him to think that
either botanists preceding him have not
closely observed, or that their Citrus tri-
foliatd is a plant of different species
from which he is describing. l should
think, with regard to the first opinion,
that of Kaempfer's description were less
detailed, one might suppose this author
had not carefully observed this flower,
to which, in his time, very little impor-
tance was attached; but the description
is so precise, and agrees so well with the
accompanying drawing, that we must
believe his Citrus trifoliotd, different
species from the triphdsia durdntiotd OF
Loureiro.
This belongs, doubtless, in the artifi-
cial system of Linn9us, to a different
class, but in the natural system it ought
to be connected to the same family, and
should make a link of the great chain
forming the family of Agrumi.
1t is to be desired that individuals OF
all these species should be brought to
Europe, for it is only by thorough and
careful examination of their characteris-
pisces ii fis RfufSi s., sysfs,n. C. s.'s''
1t is pretended that the Citrus trifoli-
dtG has already been cultivated in the
orangery of the Botanical Garden at
Paris, but one must believe it has also
perished there, for / have sought for it
invain. They have shown me only a
limOnid trifolidtG, which, as it has never
blossomed, cannot be thoroughly known.
We must then wait until enlightened
botansts can observe them in their ma
tive countries with more attention.

the town adds that of high reputation
for morality and love of order, and the
churches of six denominations of Christ
ians offer religious instruction and free
sittings to students.
BOARD AND TUITION.
Board may be obtained in the families
of Lake City for from $12 to $l6 per
month. Mess clubs formed in accord
ance with the faculty regulations would
somewhat reduce the cost of living.
The Act of Legislature establishing
the State Agricultural College provides
for the free tuition in all departments OF
the college of number of students from
Florida equaling the whole number of
members of the Legislature, apportioned
as to counties. "Such students shall be
selected by the Boards of Public Instruc-
ton of the several counties from among
the most advanced pupils in the common
and higher schools therein who may
present themselves as candidates." and
County Boards are, accordingly, urged
to make provision for availing them
selves of this privilege, and to have can
didates for admission present themselves
for examination by the faculty on the
first day of October.
OF all other students a tuition fee of
$40 will be required, payable one half on
the first day of October and one half on
the fourth day of February to the Lake
City Bank, the treasurer of the college,
whose receipt will entitle the student to
matriculation. An incidental fee of So
per term of eighteen weeks will be paid
by all students in college, without ex-
ception. Pupils in the Collegiate
classes will pay tuition fee of $40 per
term of eighteen weeks, but no incident
al fee. Diplomas will be charged at
cost.
For further particulars, address the
Secretary of the Faculty, Lake City,
Florida.

Experimental Stations.

There is no State in the Union where
the want of an experimental station is
....s--, ssit,ss.nd ~here Il ~Duld do more
good than in Florida. Our industries
are new-our agriculture is new one
and requires an instruction which can
only be derived by experiments that
new settlers have not the means of ac-
complishing or the time to give to them.
The older States with.a regular routine
of agriculture have derived benefit from
them as can be seen by the article we clip
from the Scientific 4merican:
'The time has come when the profit
of farming in the older States is so much
matter of shrewd management and
careful attention to every point that the
farmer who neglects these little things is
pretty sure to fail in his vocation. You
cannot simply tickle the earth and
make her laugh with a harvest" you
have got to do far more. Farmers have
now begun to realize this as they never
did before and, among the many instru-
mentalities which they have brought in
to their aid, one of the newest and most
important is the Agricultural Expert
ment Station.
The Experiment Station is not an
American invention. 1t grew from
necessity which only the older countries
yividly felt; and so twas imported here,
if we are not at fault, from Germany.
There is no subject on which the Ger
mans do not spend thought; and even in
their universities, where the subtleties
of Fichte and Hegel employ the human
mind at one end of the scale, the practi-
cal work of the house doctor suggests
thought at the other. 1t must seem well
that this is SO and that all the agricultu-
raj interests are made public concern.
For farming is the occupation that feeds
the world. If it is prosperous, the Wall
Streets of the world are prosperous too;
and this means universal comfort and
success.
But the reader asks, perhaps, what it
is that the Experimental Station does.
The Hour, published in this city, gives
the following brief account of its object
The Experiment Station is a farm, fully
equipped and otficered by the State, and
set apart for the purpose of making ex-
periments with fertilizers and original
soils, water, milk, cattle food,
etc. 1t examines seeds that are sus-
pected of adulteration, or that are imper-
feet in any way; it classifies and reports
upon the various weeds, and makes
studies of the different insect pests, while
not forgetting to name the insects which
are beneficial to the farmer. 1t is evil
dent that in this way, through scientific
investigators, a body of information can
be procured which soon becomes of the |
utmost value to every farmer, and which
he could not possibly afford to attain, if |
he could by any means attain it, for him
self.
In the single matter of fertilizers
which are described as commercial" ;"

FOUNDATION AND OBJECT.

The act of Legislature establishing the
Florida State Agricultural College pro-
vides for ''liberal and practical educa-
ton in the several pursuits and profes-
sions of life" The Trustees, therefore,
following the example of other States of
the Union in the Interpretation of this
language of the Congressional Act with
referance to each States circumstances
and special needs, have determined to
found school in which liberal culture
and practical education shall proceed
together-a school in which the arts and
sciences shall be thoroughly taught and
diligently studied in their theoretical as
well as in their applied forms. Florida
has not within her borders single col
lege in which to educate her youth, but
intrusts to other and distant States
work which it is her duty to perform.
The time, however, seems now at hand
when she cannot only call her children
back to receive the instruction so long
denied them at home, but can, also,
honestly promise to the youth of sister
States, along with bright skies, educa-
tional advantages of a high order.
FARM AND BUILDINGS.
For the accommodation OF the College
tne trustees nave acquired, Dy uOnauOn
and by purchase, farm and grounds
comprising one hundred and twelve acres
of land suitable for agricultural, horti-
cultural, and ornamental purposes, lying
within and near the corporate limits Of
Lake City. A building handsome in
style and commodious in proportions is
in process of erection, the western wing
of which is now ready for occupancy.
Farm buildings, propagating houses, con-
seryatories, etc., will be added from
time to time, as demanded by the course
of instruction.
SESSION.
The first session will begin on Wednes-
day, October 1, 1884, and will continue
thirty-six weeks. There will be two
terms, known as the Winter Term and
the Spring Term, the former ending
February Sd, and the latter June 8, 1885.
COURSE OF STUDY AND DEGREES.
For the present, collegiate instruction
will be limited to six undergraduate
courses of study, which will lead to
three appropriate degrees, viz, Glass

osophical Course, or a Course in Letters

In explanation of some departure from
the usual path leading to the degree in
arts, the Trustees would say that, while
not undertaking the time-honored
course in which prominence is given to
mathematics and the classic languages
of antiquity, they yet, with President
Eliot, of Harvard University, acknow
ledge the position in Academic work
now held by the modern languages, in
cluding our own English, and would,
therefore, admit to this degree students
in the Literary Course who may substi-
tute pl proficiency in French or German
for the Greek of the Classic Course.

thority, that elementary work in the
physical sciences andiin the modern Ian
guages is delayed TOP long, they offer
instruction IN These departments OF
Knowledge early in tile students career,
and, for this purpose, ,have made tempo
rary provision for Thorough preparatory

These will be discontinued as soon as
private enterprise, under the direction of
the college, or the increased efficiency of
the public school system shall furnish
the preparation demanded for entrance
upon collegiate worE.
