During the early part of the past spring

At one time more than fifty were counted
on my body and limbs. My face was not
exempt from the painful trouble. The
usual remedies would do me no good.

Frost and its Effect on Plant Growth
in Florida.
It is generally supposed that those
trees and plants that are classed as
strictly tropical, will not endure much,
if any, frost without serious injury.
True, much depends on the age plant
happens to be; whether dormant or in
active growth, as its susceptibility is, of
course, much greater in the latter condi-
tion. The present season has been a
very favorable one. Several weeks of
cold weather has tended to harden the
wood and get them in the best possible
condition to resist the sudden fall of
temperature which we experienced on
December Goth when we had not only
frost, but ice was formed where water
was exposed in shallow vessels-the
mercury falling to 29o on the morning
of the 2lst. This was followed by hot
sun and sudden rise in temperature of
$50 by noon, conditions favorable for
killing anything that could be killed at
that temperature. We waited five days
before trying to ascertain the damage
done, and then went over our tropical
fruit trees very carefully. Mangoes
came through unscathed, as did most OF
the Alligator pears. On some trees a
few leaves were touched, but the trees
themselves were uniniured. Bananas
(Orinoco and Hart's Choice) have the
leaves killed to the midrib. Caven-
dishii and Red Jamaica, killed to the
stem. Ali of them are uninjured so far
as next summers crop is concerned.
Guavas of the common sorts lose the
most of their foliage from the upper half
of the branches, and some of the tender
twigs may be injured, damage, if any,
very slight. Those of the Cattley variety
do not lose leaves even from the new
growth. Mammee Sapota shows few
twisted leaves. Pineapples suffered, per-
haps, more than anything else, although
only the tips of the leaves show that
frost has touched them; even that is
detrimental, and the fruit next summer
will not be as large. Pineapples will
stand good deal of cold, provided frost
is kept off the leaves. During the freeze
of '86 ours were covered with a frame
work OF Stats and pine straw, but were
open on all sides, and the outside rows
were the only ones killed. Anonas do
not show any sign of injury now as they
are decidIous, we can only tell by cut
ting the twigs, and they are green to the
ends.
The tropical pawpaw (Caraica pa
paya} loses its large leaves, but the stem
and green fruit is still all right.
The Granadilla vine (Passlfora edulis)
although from the Tropics, withstands
sharp freeze uninjured. So, also, will
the tamarind, unless, perhaps, they be
very small plants. Other tropical fruit
trees had all been housed, as they were
still small enough to be handled. But
doubt not there are many others that
will endure as much cold as those men,
toned.
Of ornamental plants, there are few of
those known as cool-house among the
florists that will not thrive outdoors here

No Leap Year in 1900.

Although the year 1900 will be divisblc
by four without remainder, il will not be a
leap year. Twelve years must elapse before
the interesting event takes place but it was
Just the same in 1900 and 1900, but not in
1000, for that was a leap year also. Why
this should be so is problem. To explain
in detail would be liresomc task, but it rests
on the principal that difference of eleven
minutes per day exists between actual time
and calendar time. Thus year is computed
At 36sH days, three years being 36s days
long and the fourth 400 days. In fact. the
year is 36s days, shours and IS minutes long,
or II minutes short Of 36sL days.

We mentioned ia our last issue the murder
Of Chinaman by an indian in Antelope
Valley. The following full account Of the
murder is taken from the Bridgeport CA,on.
ieie Of this week. A short time after We
went to press Justice Hardy and Constable
Carney arrived here with the lndia and de-
l,vered him to Sheriff Cody, who lodged hila
in the county Jail. 1t appears that the In.
dian went to the Powell ranch on the after.
noon Of the 10TH and wanted supper. Mrs.
Powell gave him supper, and after eating
til. fill he told her he was ''heap mad and
wanted to kill some one, and went out doors
and loaded his gun, but told Mrs. Powell he
did not wish to kill her, as she had given
him supper. He then went to Chinese hut
on the Larson ranch and asked for another
supper, which the Chinaman gave him. He
then asked for cigarette, which the China.
man rolled and was handing it to him when
he picken up his gun and shot him in the
head, scattering the Chinaman's brains
around the room. Sueh is the story told by
the only witness TO the tragedy-a Chinaman.
The Indian then made tracks for Nevada, but
was captured on Friday near the Mountain
House. by Constable 7. F. Carney and ]. K.
Crawford, OF Antelope Valley, and taken be.
lore Justice Harey, who committed him to
answer before the Superior Court for murder.
The Indian is Washoe, and known as
Charley Dick, and is said to he Of bad fam
lily, and has a brother in the Carson Jail.
His arrest caused much excitement among
the Washoes in the Valley, and couriers
were sent to Alpine county TO notify the tribe
there, and this, in turn, made the Antelope
farmers nervous, they fearing trouble with
the Indians, a brother Of the prisoner being
very emphatic that "whte man must not kill
his brrdder." The telegraph Office at kir-
man & Rickey's ranch was besieged by In
dams on Sunday last, anxious to know if the
whites had made .geod" Indian of the
prisoner. There is no danger Of the Washoes
visiting Bridgeport, as they are afraid Of the
Putes, who would like no better fun than to
be turned on them. No decision has been
reached as to disposing Of the prisoner. If
possible, he should be turned over to the
United States Courts, he being ward OF the
Government.
