! boards under cover to building arranged
with shelves or Z feet high. A heat is
produced by steam that circulates in an
iron tube seven or eight inches in dame
ter through the entire building. 1t is un-
necessary to submit the grapes to jet
of steam, which would injure them by
making them damp, but to veritable
heat of 1000 T. Valves arranged on the
floor cause an even temperature. At the
end of twenty-four hours, usually, the
drying is finished, but as the immediate
| transfer from temperature of 1900 F.,
to the open air would injure the ultimate
result, it is necessary to let raisins cool
| gradually in room constructed for the
purpose adjoining the heated room, and
only when the raisins are entirely cool
are they carried to the stores for pack
| ing.
This is the process most generally en-
ployed ia the region of Malaga, a process
they are trying to extend to other less fa-
j vored climates. The sun furnishes all the
heat required; it is enough to construct
divisions, either of brick or stone, ex-
posed to its rays, in an inclined position,
say ten yards long and two yards wide.
The divisions or apartments are built up
at one end with sort of triangular ma

From the records of observations made
at thirteen Prussian stations since 1873,
Prof Muttrich has determined that for
ests exercise positive influence on the
temperature of the air; that they lessen
the daily variations of temperature, and
more in summer than in winter; and
that the tempering effect of the leafy
forest is in summer greater than that of
the pine forest, while in winter the pine
forest has more influence than the dis
foliaged forest.

BILE rapidity of growth has been described
to the botanists of the Royal Horticul-
tural Society of London. When carefully
watched, its flower stalks can almost be
seen to grow, as they have been known
to increase in length from four to six
inches in a single night.
A bronze ak with the handle attached

Large Orange Tree.

Perhaps the largest orange tree in this
section is one in Cummings & Haskin's
Forest Place Grove, about two miles east
of Eustis. This tree measured, a year
ago, one foot above the ground, 3 feet s
inches in circumference two and half
feet above ground it was feet IL inches.
The branches cover at leat 25 feet of
ground, and it required 80 foot ladder
to gather the fruit, and then that in the
top limbs was hard to reach. 1t is
Seeding tree, planted where it stands
when one year old, by daughter of j.
G. Ballard. She gave it great attention.
She placed box around it, and filled
this box with cotton seed, renewing the
seed as she thought it needed. 1t was
set out in either 1868 or 1869. It bore at
six years old from the seed. The crop
was counted last year., 900 choice rus
set oranges, and they brought the own
ers something over $40 for the fruit on the
tree.-EustiS Lake Region.

Governor Wilson'S Inaugural


In his inaugural address at Wheeling
last week Governor Wilson paid his re-
spects in lively manner to the Balti-
more and Ohio and Chesapeake and
Ohio Railroads. He spoke in glowing
terms of the States material resources,
and then proceeded to state that the red
son for the States limited development
was the constant and unrelenting prac-
tees of the companies named, by re-
bates, drawbacks and special contracts,
In discriminating against the people In
freight and passenger charges in the In
terest of Western States. He asserted
that the course of these companies has
done much to discourage immigration.
the investment Of capital, the construc-
tions of lateral railroads and the general
development of tie State, and that had
they dealt with the State with simple,
even-handed justice, West Virginia
would be one of the most popular, pros
porous and wealthy States In the Union.
He declared that the unlawful evasion
of taxes by the roads, SO long and sue
cessfully practieed, should not be re-
peated.

President Cleveland Not A


Smart Mana gentleman travelling
on one of the trains Of the Shenandoah
Valley Railroad this week overheard
the following conversation, between a
Democrat and Republican, which we
think worth publishing:
Democrat-Been to the Inauguration
Republican-Naw! Have your
Democrat-You bet-had big time,
too.
Republican-Did you see President
Cleveland2
Democrat-Yes, sir. Saw him and
heard his speech. tell you, he is a
mighty smart mamie Is.
Republican-No lie ain't. They say
he Is one Of the dumbest men that's ever
been President. And believe 1t, too.
Democrat-Dumb! Why, sir, didn't
he say his speech off-hand yes, he did ;
and he was the only President that ever
did that. Anyhow, he was smart enough
to beat Jim Blaine.
Republican, don't care; he ID Il
dumb man, and l can prove 1t.
Democrat-Howf
Republloan-Why, he amt ever been
smart enough yet to get wife.
