An interesting fact with regard to
damage from lightning has been evolved
from study of insurance statistics in
Germany. It appears that during the
wears between 1850 and 1880 the light
ming risks have increased threefold; that
is, out of any given number of buildings
three times as many would be struck by
lightning during 1880 as were struck
during 1850. Two causes for this extra
ordinary increase suggest themselves:
A change of meteorological conditions,
or the more common use of metals in
constitutional. Investigations have,
however, failed to develop satisfactory
explanation. Prof. Holtz fails to find
from meteorological returns any proof as
to increase of storms, but produces sta
tistics to show that in those districts
where most metal is used about build
ings the largest number of lightning
strokes are recorded. On the other
hand, Prof. Bezold finds that in Bavaria
thunder storms have increased both in
number and intensity. An investigation
of the subject in this country would be
interesting, particularly in regard to the
safety afforded by lightning-rods. Me-
neurological changes are continually going
on, and whether danger from lightning
has increased three-fold, as in Germany,
would be worth knowing.

The newly introduced Japan chestnut

The newly introduced Japan chestnut
promises to be fruit of great value. The
chestnut is one OF the most nutritious of
fruits. In parts of the Southern States
it has been found profitable to reserve
tracts of native chestnut timber and to
fence them in as feeding parks for swine,
in which they will fatten rapidly and
cheaply and make the sweetest and best
of pork. AS fruit for human consump-
ton the chestnut holds high place, and
large quantity is imported from Eu-
rope for this purpose. A grove of chest
nut trees is quite as profitable as an apple
orchard, and the Japan chestnut is
proved to be the best of its kind. 1t IS
is as hardy as our native species, and the
fruit is of better quality than the Euro
pean kinds. It is small tree, bears at
three years old, and the nuts are large
and of better quality than those brought
hither from Italy. 1t is a handsome
lawn tree, and its moderate size and habit
of growth fit it we'll for this purpose. AS
an orchard tree planted for profit, too, it
promises to be of great value. 1t is as
easily grown as the native kind and sue
ceeds we'll on sandy loam soil.

In pamphlet received from Charles
W. Garfield, Grand Rapids, the secretary
of the Michigan Horticultural society,
has been collecting interesting informa-
tion relating to the State legislation in
the interests of horticulture. From this
reliable little pamphlet is learned how
much assistance is rendered to the vari-
GUS horticultural societies by their re-
spectcd States. The Massachusetts Hor-
ticultural society, although one Of the
most useful as we'll as the most prosper
Gus organizations devoted to horticulture
in the country, has never received assist
ance from State legislation. The Massa-
chusetts State Board of Agriculture,
however. which devotes a goodly share
of attention to horticulture, is supported
by the State. New York gives nothing
directly to horticultural societies, but
appropriates $50, 900 per annum to its ez-
pertinent station. 1t is very fair to add
that at the station much time and money
are expended in the interests of horticul-
turalists. The New Jersey experiment
station receives $4,000 annually, and
a portion of this amount goes to
sustain horticultural interests. The
Michigan horticultural society, while
accomplishing efficient work, has done
this without other direct aid from the
State legislature than the publication of
its report. Its agricultural college has
received due support, and the horticul-
tural department has received much at
tention. Vermont has an annual allow
ance of $4,000 for agriculture, horticul-
ture and forestry. The Illinois Horti-
cultural society has $4,000 per annum,
and Indiana from $500 to $500. Iowa
gives $1,000, 5000 of which is awarded
in premiums for growing forest trees.
The government Of Kansas makes sutti-
cient appropriation to cover the expense
of publishing the annual report and
forestry manual in goodly numbers. 1t
has also been of assistance in the aid OF
forestry. Nebraska gives $1,000. Ohio
gives 1000. The Horticultural society
of Georgia is an old one, and has done
valuable work by increasing the variety
of fruit products and encouraging tho
organization of local societies. The State
has not given direct aid to its horticul
tural societies.

Kerosene Mine.

New South Wales possesses in the Vale
of Hartley mine valuable kerosene de-
post. The mine is situated in one of
the most picturesque parts of the colony,
about eighty-three miles northwest of
Sydney, in the Blue mountains, at an al
titude of 3, 11S feet above the level Of the
sea. The railway up the mountains has
aided greatly in the establishment of G
number of important industries there.
The ironworks at Eastbank are carried
on successfully, and the coal deposits arc
inexhaustible. The kerosene shale found
there is said to be the richest in the
world. Considerable quantities OF it are
used in the large cities of the colonies for
the purpose of enriching gas. It is also
exported for the same purpose to Holland,
Java, and the States on the Pacific slope
of the United States. Only the better
quality of the mineral is exported, the
scraps and inferior portions being re-
tanned for the extraction of oil. The
seams are from one foot to two and a
half in thickness. 1t is much more diff
cult to mine than coal, and is usually got
out without picks and pointed rods. 1t
does not run down readily into blocks,
but has to be separated piece by piece,
and splintered off into sharp thin pieces;
1t is easily lighted with a match, and
burns with steady flame, like candle,
and emits strong odor of Kerosene.
The company working the mine, beside
their operations at the mine, have ex-
tensive oil works at Waterloo, where
they manufacture kerosene lubricants,
paraffine, ctc.-I7on.

Sacramento has been holding a "Citrus
Fair" where were exhibited the fruits of
Northern California. There were shown
not only the citrus fruits-lemons, lines,
oranges, and curious large snowy fruit
called the "pumalo'--but also olives,
grapes, fresh strawberries, almonds, chest
nuts, walnuts, pecans, pears from the third
crop grown on the same tree last year,
Japanese plum, all loaded with fragrant
flowers. The San Francisco Chronicle
says: ''Thc tea, pumalo, ripe olives,
icorice, cotton, and other unusual ex-
hibits of California products can be de-
pended upon with surprising regularity
to bring forth from visitors, why, Ididn't
know California grew thatn The licoricc
exhibitor Clipped up some of the roots
for visitors to sample, as there was large
percentage of visitors who always asked
incredulously, rs it real licorice?' The
ripe olives were also surprise to visitors.
The table olive is such firm, bright
green fruit that to see dark, purple, soft
and luscious looking little fruit labeled
olive is a constant surprise. They are the
ripe olive, such as are pressed for oil, and
though they look tempting, are likely tc
turn the faster more nearly inside ont
than anything else he could put in his

The French have looked with alarm
upon the steady export of Percheron
horses to the United States, but the most
prominent breeders there now say that
he progeny of these horses, raised in the
United States, are an Improvement on
their sies, and that it is profitable to re-
import. 1t is known that Napoleon III.
used to import Percheron horses from
Vermont for the postchaises which he
used so much, as General Fleury, his
master of horses, found them much su-
perior to the Mecklenburg horses more
generally in use.
