seventy.six trees to the acre. At the
Hook farm, in Sutter county, is grove
covering half an acre, which was planted
by Gen. Sutter. This grove annually
produces large quantities of fruit.
Trees are said to grow faster on wet
land, but the fruit is INFERIOR and the
skins of the fruit are tough. Frost also
is more liable to destroy trees on low,
marsby soil than on dry, fertile land.
Crops do not ripen all ut once; but
may be several weeks Ia slowly ripen-
ing. Not long since, at citrus fair at
Riverside, d. II. Burnham had various
sized drums os figs On exhibition. In
his method of preparing fruit for market
he had built brick room or oven, ks
feet, where he burned sulphur. to de-
stroy any insect life there might be
about the fruit. This oven could be
made ART ght. Afterward the trays
were placed in the sun to dry the fruit.
After turning it, and drying about six
days, the fruit wrs collected and poured
into l00.pound sacks, then tied tightly
and plated in close room. The sacks
were allowed to stand for two or three
weeks, during which time the fruit

THE SILVER DOLLARS
Have Been the Financial saliva
tion Of the United states.

The two hundred and forty millions of
silver dollars that have been coined and
put in circulation since 1878. are all that
is now saving the nation from general
financial crash. We are tided over the
breakers simply by silver. Does any one
doubt it? Let him answer the question
then: What would be the condition of
business to-day, if the circulating medi-
um were suddenly contracted, by the
loss or destruction of S240, ,000,0OO The
labor strikes we now have, are as sum-
mer zephyr to q cyclone, to the condi-
ton of things that would then rule. Sill
yer is indeed a blessing and the incon-
siderate business men of this country,
who would strike it down know not
what they would do; but the conspira-
tors know we'll what they are about.
The greenbacks are fixed quantity
at S346, 100000. The National Bank
circulation is being contracted at the
rate of $1,000, 1000 per month, or S24,-
600, 900 per year, and if it W re not TOR
the silver dollars that are being coined
and put into the circulating medium,
there would soon be great stringency in
the money market and in year pani1.
We have about 1927 per capita in gold.
silver, greenback, national bank notes
and gold and silver certifcates-while
France has nearly double this amount,
or S54 per capita. We are now short in
our circulating medium hundreds OF
millions of dollars of the amount of
money required to carry on the business
of this country properly. Our popula-
ton is increasing at the rate OF FOUR per
cent. per year, or doubling every
twenty. five years--this increase of our
population alone demands an increase
in our money volume of at least
$4,000, 600 year: but our trade and
commerce are also growing. demanding
q still further increase in the money
volume, and this dsmand for more
money is net only not being met. but we
have lot of conspirators who are in
league with England, endeavoring to
assas,inate the prosperity of this nation
by striking down the silver dollar. The
indifference with which many business
men look upon this silver question, re-
minds one OF Nero's tiddling while Rome
was burning. 1t is not few silver
kings who are fighting for the silver
dollar; far from it; it is the thoughtful
meu everywhere throughout this nation.
England may jingle her guineas in the
face of poor sterved nations like Egypt
and Turkey, which she virtually owns,
but America has her own treasure
vaults with which to buy and sell the
world.-[The Silver-Dollar.

sugar.Cane i'm Butte County.

A year ago two experienced sugar.
makers-Messrs. Hall and Hogan
planted a few acres of sugar-cane at the
old Bay ranch, but owing to an early
frost they were not very successful. The
present year they leased piece of
ground on the Rancho Chico of General
Bidwell, and making their headquarters
at what is known as the Bee ranch, they
soon had forty acres of fine cane grow
ing. IL is now ripe, and the last week
they began the manufacture of molasses
from the cane. They have here a sugar.
mill of two.horse power in operation, in
which the cane is ground up; thence it
il passed into what is known as the rail-
road evaporator. in which the syrup is
squeezed from the pulp. At the end Of
this evaporator is pipe leading out, in
which there is strainer, which renders
the raw syrup nearly clear. 1t now
empties into reservoir, which has a
separate pipe projecting over into the
evaporators, which are placed over the
fire upon which it is cooked. These
four evaporaaors are SO arranged on roll
lers that when one vat full is cooked
sufficiently another one is pushed over
in its place. So it is all done with not
very much manual labor. The refuse
pulp is conducted out of the sugar.mill,
where it falls into receptacle on low
wheels, and when this is full team is
hitched to it and it is drawn away to
the dump.
The syrup as made is of very good
quality, and is meeting with much favor
in the market, being put up in one,
three and iive-gallon cans, the cans be-
ing made here at the fruit cannery.
Hall and Hogan have as yet about
thirty acres of cane standing, much OF it
being at least twelve feet high. They
have begun now to work both day and
night, in order that they may get all the
cane made into syrup before the frosts
come, as the capacity of this mill is only
about 200 gallons per day.
This experiment has proven Itself to
be great success, and it is not ut all
unlikely that one of our exports will
soon be syrup, and then sugar. Many
of our farmers are visiting this sugar
cane farm and are getting points, which
will no doubt be utilized, as wheat is
not the moneyed product it was some
years ago. We predict that there will
be several hundred acres of sugar-c cane
next year, and year from now there
will be good many small syrup mills
in operation. Chico Chronicle.

An Era of National Growth In
Wealth and Improvement.

The last census found 81 900 miles OF
railroad in the country. But at the
close of September of the present year
there were 1872, 900 miles of railroad.
The growth of States in population, i'm
proyement and wealth has been very
unequal. Senator Henderson, in re-
cent speech, cited some of these ine-
qualities. Thus, North Carolina and
Pennsylvania were about equal as to
population in 1850, or little more than
hundred years ago. The former now
has a population Of 1899, 750; the latter
State has A, 2S2, ,S9l. The former has a
property valuation of SAG, 900, 900; the
the latter has S., 1893, 900, 900. The per
capita of North Carolina is $3l9; in
Pennsylvania it is $l259. The average
value of land in the former Is Sc per
acre; in the latter it is S45. North Caro-
lima has larger area by about 1000
square miles; and has also milder cli-
mate than is found in Pennsylvania.
The latter is great manufacturing
State, and is a staunch supporter OF a
protective tariff. North Carolina has
few manufactures and has never been to
any great extent in favor of tariff for
protection. The Industrial policies Of
the two States were always in contrast.
The natural wealth of Pennsylvania is
probably greater; but touching this
point there is some doubt. That of the
latter State has had wonderful devel-
opment. Coal and iron, aside from
agriculture, gre two great sources of
wealth. North Carolina to-day is an
undevelopcd State as to its great natural
resources. 1t has coal, iron, the best of
timber, with less productive soil than
that found in Pennsylvania.
Then there are some striking contrasts
in New York and Virginia. In 1880
the population Of the latter was more
than double that of New York. But
taking all the territory of Virginia, in
Guiding that in West Virginia, there is a
population of 2,l3l,022, while New
York has 5,oS2,2ll The entire wealth
in Virginia in 1880 was 81, 600, 900, 900;
butthat Of New York was$7 6l9, 900, ,000i
and farm lands in the latter State had
an average value of $44 Al an acre.
while in old Virginia the average value
of farm lands was Sl0.85 an acre, with
$500 for West Virginia.

Some Uses of Gloves.

The reign of Elizabeth may fairly be
considered the turning point in the his
tory pof gloves. Through long years
and keeping line with the growth of re-
finement and courtesy, the glove has
been invested first with one association
and then another, given part and lot in
this custom and that, until it has come
to shold a prominent place in the
economy Of life. Both at weddings and
funerals gloves are offered as gifts so
commonly as to BE- made a recognized
feature OF the occasion. Either for
peace and in favor, or defiant and in
deadly anger, it has come to be as bind.
ing upon ordinary transactions as q
written deed and as evident of purpose
,as if the presence of its owner had en-.
forced its evident intent. Particularly
as token of love, as though it gave in
pledge the hand and regard of fair
lady, or as cartel of war, threatening
SO much of the vengeful punishment as
the hand it covered could infict, did
the glove play its part in times when
both these sentiments were especially
cherished and avowed. 1t was made
the egis of trade, insuring to shopmen
and chaffering purchasers of the
wares they offered peace and protec-
ton; and in agreements of greater
moment the glove was made witness OF
promise given and the pledge of its
fulfllment. The donation of land to a
church, and sometimes even the offer OF
bodily service, was made good by the
placing of glove upon the altar; and
in the transfer of laud-or, in occasional
instances, of kingdoms-a glove was
made a veritable lease, by virtue OF
which possession was taken and held.
As securing safe passage, like a pass
port, as an offer of amity, like as though
friendly shake of the hand were prof.
fered, even as bribe, when it was often
"lined" with good gold pieces, to tempt
men from their allegiance, or induce
them to view q suit favorably; the glove

perity. A great deal of Industrial capi-
tai has been pouring into these States.
The census covering the present decade
will probably show a greater degree of
prosperity in the older of the Southern
States than has been known in any other
decade of their history. The coal and
iron mines of the Middle and Northern
States are to q large extent uncovered
According to the data just published in
McCarthy's "Statisticiau, Ohio has &c.
964 square miles, with 8, 3,525, 900 popula.
ton; while Kentucky has 81, $50 square
miles, with l,727, 500 population. Yet
the former State is the oldest, and the
difference in area is paratively small.
Ken lucky is now a growing State and
has entered upon new era of prosperity.
Yet that growth will depend upon the
industrial policy which the State adopts.
The coal, iron and lead now untouched,
awaits development. One industrial pol
icy stimulates this DEVELOPMENT and the
other does not.
The industrial policy which has made
such great and prosperous States as New
York, PENNSYLVANIA and Ohio, is a good
one for the whole country. 1t goes as
well in the States and Territories west
of the Missouri river as it does in the
States east of that boundary. AT the
present ratio of growth larger popula.
ton will be added to the country in five
wears than was contained in the original
Thirteen States when they entered the
Union. Probably the new era of growth
and development will, at the end OF
another decade, present asmany striking
facts in the great territory lying between
the Missouri river and the Pacific. as in
any other part Of the country. There

The Fig i'm California.

In California the fig tree grows readily
either from roots or from cuttings, and In
orchards the trees are usually placed
about sixteen feet apart. Dry soil on
slightly elevated ground is preferable for
The production of the best fruit, and but
little care, besides plowing the ground
and sometimes pruning the trees, is re-
auired by the orchard.
The White Adriatic fig is now being
planted in northern as well as southern
part of the State. The fig is imported
from Smyrna and Italy. The fruit is nes
SO large as some other varieties, but it it
luscious, and as it ripens quite mp to the
stem, it is better for drying; The Ad-
ratio produces crop the second year,
from planting, of thin-skined, beautiful
fruit, and when raised the fruit has
brought from % to 40 cents pound.
and has proved equal to imported fruit
Fig trees are seldom troubled with in
sects; but gophers, little rodents about
the size of warf rats, sometimes burrow
down and destroy the roots of young
trees.
The trees are long lived and have the
reputation of bearing fruit for severat
hundred years. After the twentieth
year one tree will produce from 600 to
1000 pounds of dried fruit annually.
Fig growers urually receive about or 6
cents per pound for fruit right from the
tree. Candied fruit from the black fig
has been made to pvy 40 cents per pound.
BY planting different varieties of figs
one may have succession of ripening
fruit for four CT five months in the year.
Figs may be picked. candied, or
dried for family use. When figs are
mature enough for picking they show
small, white seams running across the
skin. When plucked from the tree,
they are usually dried in the sun upon
trays. They need turning over daily,
and should never be left exposed to the
dew or fog of the night, as moisture in
lures the flavor and appearance. Before
packing, some fig-growers dip the fig
hastily into boiling sea-water or hot lye
to sdestroy any insect life that might
prove destructive to the fruit. No sugar
should be used in packing, and the cans
are by some growers Theoretically sealed.
Fruit dryers are used IN some losali-

Water That Will Not Roll.

Among the many extraordinary nat
ural phenomena attending the recent
eruption Of Mount Tarawera, one which
appears to me not the least singular has
been passed over in comparative silence
and without exciting comment so far as
| am aware, among the scientific or un.
scientific public. During the last week
those attending Mr.. Burton's interesting
lectures have heard there related one Of
the strange and, so far. inexplicable cir
cumstances witnessed by Mr.. McRea
and others of that devoted little band
to whom it must have seemed that hell
itself had opened to destroy them. al
lude to the fact of their being unable to
make water boil on that terrible night,
when earth itself appeared to be in a
state of ebullition. Igive here the mar.
rative from Mr. McRae's own lips. and
feel confident that few who have read
of the magnificent courage and presence
of mind displayed by him among those
fearsome surroundings, and none who
have heard the plain, unvarnished tale
modestly related by himself, will ascribe
the circumstances as due to the working
of an overheated and excited imagina.
ton.
Mr.. McRae says: II made George
Baker, the cook, put some water on the
fire to make cocoa for the women, who
were cold and shivering, poor souls,
though holding up grandly. About
three quarters of an hour afterward he
met met me in the passage and said to
me: Come here, sir. what is it?'
said L. 4 can't get the water to boil,
he said. Tut, said l. poke up the
fire.. Its good fire. he replied, and
so it was, glowing fire of blazing rata
logs--a splendid fire. Put your hand
in there and feel it,, said he, taking the
lid off the boiler. / did so-very gin.
gerly l can assure you, and found the
water as cold as wnen we put it on.
There were SO many extraordinary
things happening around me that this
particular one did not excite my wonder
very much. | thoughtit was owing to
the electricity in the air. George Baker
can vouch, as well as myself, for the
fact of the water having been on the fire
for full three-quarters of an hour, and at
the end of that time being as cold as
when put on. We spoke of the circum-
stance to the Others at the time as being
curious, but soon had matters more
serious to distract our attention"
Now, surely, here is a natural phe-
nomenon worthy the investigation of all
our scientific men, not only In New Zea-
land, but throughout the civilized world.
We, of course, all know that the greater
the atmospheric pressure, the greater
the number of units of heat required to
make the water boil, but some other de.
terrent cause must have been at work in
this instance, as, after having been
placed for three.qaarters of an hour on
good fire, the water remained abso-
lutely cold. What other cause was
there is the problem suggest to our
scientific men as one well worthy oi
