"A Weird Scene.

Capt. Carrie, of the British ship Way
tarer, which arrived in Oakland. Cal, q
few days ago, 154 days from Antwerp,
reports weird phenomenon on the
night Of November u. 1t had been
blowing several days, but with nghtfall
the air became perfectly calm and the
sea az smooth as glass. Overhead the
sky was as black as ink from the dense
masses of heavy clouds, and with the
barometer at $3.50 a rainstorm was
looked for. The expected downpour
DID not occur, but instead the sea
gloWed with phosphorescence beyond
anything the Oldest mariner had ever
seen. The ships surroundings were lit
up SO that it was possible to read on
geek. Nobody cared much for reading,
however; the contrast between the
light from the sea and the inkv clouds
was so grewsome that all hands could
not help feeling that some unnatural
catastrophe was about to occur. The
crew were much relieved when q
breeze dissipated the clouds, and the
phosphorescence disappeared at the
same time

cereal crops and the meadow grasses.
When the farmer is too busy to give ms
personal attention to the honey, it was
suggested that he purchase few hives
and turn these over to the care of his
wife and daughters. They will find the
pin money accruing from the sale of the
honey a convenient and pleasant return
for the labor and time spent among the
bees. The outdoor occupation, too, Will
prove a welcome and healthful change
from indoor drudgery, which they can
afford to hire done.

WHY Farmers Should Keep Bees.

The fact that bees are pollen distribu-
tors is sufficient reason why a place
should be made for them on every
farm. If kept for no other purpose
than the benefit they do to growing
crops and fruit-bearing trees and plants
by spreading the pollen among the
blooms, these industrious workers
would be valuable adjunct. Testimony
is abundant and conclusive as to the de-
sirable effects of bees upon grape vines,
fruit trees, and fruit-bearng plants gem
orally. Indeed, one prominent
apiarist goes so far as to insist that a
few hives of bees judiciously placed

ANOTHER WISE VETO.

Governor Fleming has vetoed ::

act to amend section one of the act
making the Alatia river in Hillsbor-
ough county navigable stream,

toing the bill the governor says :
"The act of 1885, thus sought to be
amended by the bill, declared the
Alfalfa river to be navigable stream.
The bill under consideration pro-
poses to amend the said act so as to
declare the Alfalfa river to be a navi-
gable stream from the county bridge,
on said river, to where it empties
into Hillsborough bay. l am in.
formed that the said river is navi-
gable, in fact, for some distance above
the county bridge. The question Of
the navigability or non-navigability
materially affects public and private
rights. The navigable waters of the
state are public highways, which
may be used for the transportation
of persons and property, besides
which the property of the state in
the beds of certain navigable streams
is Of great value by reason of phos
phate deposits, and such is particu.
larly the case in the Alfalfa river, in
the bed Of which company has
been mining for some time without
complying with the statute grant
ing such privilege, and against
which legal proceedings have beer
instituted and are pending to pro
tect the rights Of the state. Other
companies have organized for the
purpose of mining phosphate in thu
bed of the said river under contrac,
with the state. The existing law
declaring the Alfalfa river navigablt
could not, in my opinion, be con
strued as extending the limit OF it,

in the very best of the tobacco belt,

than to Quincy, and if Tallahassee
will but bestir herself she can secure
the handling Of that crop as we'll as
that of our county.
With a properly constructed and
roomy warehouse, an expert handler
of Leaf tobacco, Tallahassee would
soon become a tobacco centre, and
BUYERS would come here to bid
against each other for the choice
cigar leaf grown in the three neigh
boring counties of Leon, Gadsden
and jefferson. This would bring in
money and make business for every
body.

FLORIDA AT TIE FAIR.

Will Florida be represented at the
Worlds Columbian Fair? AS q
state she will not, for the legislature
refused to make an appropriation for
that purpose. But it is to be hoped
that there are philosophical citizens
enough in the various counties to
work up display from each that
will give Florida a creditable exhibit
at the Fai4. Every one of the many
phosphate companies ought to con.
tribute literally, for such a display
Of her products and resources as
Florida can make, would advertise
their business and bring them in
thousands Of dollars Of trade.
But this matter of a display of
Florida's products and resources
should not be left entirely to private
individuals. The county commits
SlOnerS OF the several counties would
be making wise investment were
they to appropriate money to aid in
making a creditable display Of the
products of their respective counties
at the fair. All the world will be
there, and never again, perhaps, will
such an opportunity be offered for
advertising this glorious land Of
ours.
Get to work, fellow-Floridians,
and let's prove to the world that
Florida has sufficient progress about
her to trim her light and keep it
burning.

TALLAHASSEES CHANCE

The largely increased acreage
planted in Florida Cuba tobacco in
Leon county this year, and the
promising condition of the crop,
gives Tallahassee the opportunity to
become thriving tobacco market.
But this ripe plum cannot be plucked
without reaching for it. There is
work to do, and it must be done
quickly or other more enterprising
towns will capture the prize.
To become tobacco market Tai
lahassee must have a suitable ware
house for storing the leaf, one built
for the purpose, and the quicker il
is built the better.
There is no doubt about filing s
much larger warehouse than it il
probable Tallahassee will have. The
crop will be ready for storage, will
the storage room be ready for thu
crop?
