SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.

INSECT PEsTs.-The annual loss caused
by insects in the United States is esti-
mated at about $3.50, 900 900, that on cot
ton alone being 5000 900. The insects
increase with the advance of civilization
on account, doubtless of the greater
abundance of the food furn-
ished them. Every vegetable pro-
duct and every variety of fruit and
flowers are attended by special parasites,
each of which thrives ON its respective
d-plant.
THE WORLD TO OTHER SENSES
While considering it doubtful whether
ants or bees can hear, Sir John Lubbock
believes it to be quite possible that they
may hear sounds so shrill as to make no
impression ON the human ear. A like fact
may be true of their perception of col
ors. To insects the world may be full
of music we cannot hear, colors we cam
not see, ana sensations we cannot feel.
From seventy-five to eighty per cent.
of the earth tremors observed in Toxic,
according to Prof. Milne, may be ac-
counted for on the superstition that they
have been produced either by local or
distant winds. The only connection be-
tween earth tremors and earthquakes in
Central Japan is that they are both more
frequent about the same season.
At late meeting of the Astronomical
Society of France, Col Laussedat ex-
hibited curious binocular glass con-
structed in 1851 for Louis XIV by Father
Seraphim. The huge instrument com
prises three boxes which slide into each
other, the total length, when extended,
being about ten feet.
The bones of animals We're used rs
skates and sledge-runners in prehistoric
Europe, and it seems they are still 80
employed in Northern Germany. The
sledges consist of board resting ON the
bones OF a horse, and the skates have for
runners the lower ja~-bones Of cattle.

If the winter continues in its present
severity up North The PALATKA NEWS
stands ready to take subscriptions for an
exploring expedition to re-discover that
portion of this continent north of the
Potomac and Ohio Rivers. Judging
from recent reports the chief business of
the teeming millions up that way is
shoveling snow and the towns, railroads,
ETC., are slowly sinking under the fieecy
blanket. They expect to reappear in the
spring, however. when the crocuses
bloom.

A. FLORIDA Made Organ.
Sanford Journal.

There was unloaded on Friday the
only 81 900 organ ever shipped to any
church in South Florida. The instru-
ment is to be used in the Presbyterian
Church of our city, and is now being
put in position by the manufacturer so
as to be in readiness for Sundays ser
vice.
The organ is home made, i. e.. Florida
work, the factory being located at Ply
mouth, three miles from Apopka, an Or
ange County institution. Mr.. w. E.
Greenwood is the proprietor. The organ
is nine feet wide, seven feet deep and
fifteen feet high, with power sufficient
for very large building. The front or
displayed pipes of the instrument are all
sounding pipes, not dummies, and fin
ished in shellac, with case of hard ma
tive wood. all beautifully decorated in
gold and colors.
There are but three of these organs in
the State. two others being in use in
Jacksonville. These organs are spoken
of as being exceedingly fine instruments,
and Mr.. John Par &er, the accomplished
organist of the Presbyterian Church.
will have the honor and pleasure of ma
nipulating the keys on Sunday next of
the finest church musical instrument in
Florida, and the first organ ever manu-
featured in the State.

The English Walnut In Florida.
Fort Meyers Bress.

In reply to the inquiry of E. j. S.. we
can state that the English walnut tree
grows well in our State, and we see no
reason why it should not be made a
source of profitable income. Three or
four years ago the Tallahassee F7orididn
noticed some trees in the capital citv:
among the varied growth in the inter
esting grounds of the City Hotel, of Tai
lahassee, are the fine English walnut
trees. the soil seeming to suit them as
well as il does the thrifty orange and
lemon trees, bananas, etc.. which con-
tend for space IN that favored spot-a
luxuriant, perennial garden. As the
home raised bananas grace the desserts

OH. NO DON'T


This is the sort of shrek that the Cali
fornia boomers like to hear from Florida
newspapers;
Mayor Lilienthal, as chairman of the
committee appointed at the recent con-
vention of Florida mayors, cannot re-
convene the municipal chief magistrates
any too soon. The Importance of an
extra session OF the Legislature to pass
upon the project of establishing State
Board of Health receives fresh illustra
tions every hour, and the need of ma
tional protection for our six hundred
miles of sea coast is no longer open to
argument. For every day that action is
delayed in these matters weeks and
months will be lost IN perfecting legis-
lation upon them. We hope to hear the
call made at once, and the time for the
meeting set at a date as early as pos
sible.
To soothe the perturbed stomach of
the Ne,rs-H Herald editor we would remind
him that little attention to sanitation
is worth a score of doctors and would in
form him that Florida's experience with
self-constituted State Board of Health
last summer has Disguised the Peninsula
with the idea.
What is needful in this State, not only
this spring but every spring, is the thor
ough cleaning up of all streets, cutters,
bitches, drains and private premises.
What is needed every summer is that
the good work begun in the spring shall
be kept up. Then in the fall the au
thorities should see that all the bitches,
drains, cutters and streets, remain in a
wholesome condition and insist that citi-
xens shall maintain order and cleanli-
ness in and around their dwellings. The
winter time is a good season for putting
the city in such condition that there will
be little work to be done in the following
spring.
II the sun were to rise and set after
the fashion that all cities conduct the
business of providing against the inroads
of disease there would be no need of
sanitary measures, for the world would
hsve no inhabitants and therefore no
diseases. If the recipe given above is
faithfully followed we may all go to
sleep without fear that yellow fever will
surprise US before we get out of bed in
the morning and would find life really
endurable without State Board of
Health in = constant session of ante
mortem examination ON the body Of the

The weekly trade review in our Assoc
ciated Press dispatches to-day presents a
more encouraging aspect than former
reports for this year. Money is gener-
ally easy and collections correspondingly
good. There is general absence of
speculative excitement. Floridians will
notice the significant fact that there is a
scanty supply of vegetables and that
there is an advance in cotton goods.
The vegetable products of this region
bid fair to meet a hungry market. Both
foreign and domestic business show a
better ap pearance and it seems, beside,
that the December reports looks far bet
ter for our foreign trade on revision of
the figures. While the returns for JAM
uary thus far indicate an excess of per
cent. in exports over last year for the
same time, the imports at New York
show an increase of IA per cent.

While the cables are informing us Of
the dread preparations for the war in
Europe, which like tomorrow is always
near at hand but never comes, the press
of the country fails to take note OF the
strained relations between the Jackson
vile Times Union and the Spanish au-
thorities in Cuba. Situated as South
Florida is between the two unfriendly
powers our position is critical one and
it is time the citizens awoke from their
supineness and prepared for defense. If
compelled to take sides we shall advocate
an alliance, defensive and offensive,
with the Times Union. Cuba is badly
misgoverned and always has been and is
a good country for adopted citizens Of
Cuban birth to keep out OF and when we
have navy it would be well to have a
few vessels continually in Cuban waters
to maintain a feeling of respect for the
United States and the Times Union.
