THE FRUIT OUTLOOK.
WHAT THE OUTLOOK Is FOR A BIG
THING ON ORANGES.
The Favored Localities in the Produc-
tion of the Citrus Fruits-How
the New Crop Compares
With Former Ones.

1t has been stated recently iu other
papers than the HERALD that the output
OF oranges now nearly ripe, for the
counties south of the Tehachepi range,
would not be far short of 1000 carloads.
Considering that the great "norther" oi
last winter not only threw to the ground
hundreds of tons of partially ripe fruit
but in many instances uprooted the
trees themselves, the estimate looked al
first to be just the least trife enthusi-
astic.
A HERALD reporter called at Cook &
Langley's office, and found one of the
partners present who had just returned
from four weeks visit to San Francis
CO. On making his errand known the
merchant said:
81 am just back from long trip to
San Francisco, and there is not thing
that don't know more about than or
anges, just now."
"The papers are fixing the output at
1000 carloads for the six counties. Do
you deem that excessive, according to
what reports you get from your con-
signors ?" asked the reporter.
The gentleman hesitated. His
cashier spoke up:
sit is not excessive. 1t is under the
true yield, rather than above it,"
"The reas on for my fearing otherwise, "
said the reporter, twas the large num-
ber Of trees that were uprooted by the
great northerly wind storms of last
winter"
"The effects of that storm were
greatly exaggerated at the time" eaid
the cashier, 'for great many trees that
were reported as being ruined by the
storm have since rallied from its effects
and have borne as large crops this win.
| ter as ever. Again, this winter sees q
great many trees, five and six years old
bearing a greater number of oranges
than they did last year, nearly two fol
one."
The reporter next called at the Ger
main Fruit company's store, lucky to
find the head OF the house at his desk.
The reporter asked "Mr. German,
there has been an estimate made of the
orange crop of Southern California
which places the total output at 1000
carloads. Is not that an excessive com.
putation ?"
81 do not think co." replied Mr.. Ger
main; "indeed, l think it rather mod
crate"
"Were there not large number OF
trees uprooted and otherwise damaged
by the windstorm of last winter ?'
Undoubtedly there was" said Mr..
Germain; but you must remember
that there has been constant increase
of acreage in oranges during the past
three years; and that more than offsets
the loss of trees in that storm"
'How do the oranges compare with
those of former years for size?" asked
the reporter.
Very well, in my belief. There are
orchards and orchards. Some men take
great pains with their trees, while others
are careless and slovenly. The big
oranges are always to be found on the
trees which get the most cultivation.
Come III again about 10 days from now
and may be able to give you some
exact figures"

THEIR WINE SHIPMENTS.

REDoNDo, December 6, 1892.
EDITORS HERALD: We desire to give
expression through the press of ouI
thorough appreciation OF the frst-class
manner in which our large consign-
ments of wine, destined for New York
per steamship Conemaugh, was received
and handled by the Redondo Wharf
company. In face of the peculiarly
rough and tempestuous weather during
the past week, together with the partial
destruction of their wharf, it was for
awhile thought impossible on the part
of Messrs. Childs & Walton to meet
their engagements for shipment off this
port. The voluntary and courteous man.
ner in which the Redondo company met
all engagements and sacrifices necessary
to the emergency is more than suffi-
cient guarantee that under no circum-
stances will the shippers interest suffer
in their hands.
We cannot but congratulate Captain
Aineworth and the Redondo Wharf COM
pany upon the possession of such a
gu perintendent as Mr.. Perry; in fact,
too much praise cannot be awarded to
all pal ties concerned for their untiring
efforts and sacrifices in order to insure
the safe lighterage OF our goods to the
ship, as well as the success of all ship
ping interests.
To the Santa Fe railway officials we
are especially indebted for their usual
prompt and courteous response to the
many demands upon them for the great
amount of switching and re.switching
OF cars. r. l.. WATKINS.

on which last she was held, has already
been tt Id in these columns. This last
charge was based on the fact that she
was a prostitute. Judge Owens held
that her prostitution was involuntary

A Keeley Cure.

The latest testimonial to the excel
lency of the Kelley institute at River
side is from Mr.. M. E. Morris Of Perris.
The gentleman after having abandoned
himself to drink tried in despair the
Kelley cure, and at the end of three
weeks left the institute we'll man. He
states that his health is as good as it
ever was, also that before he had under
gone the cure for three weeks he felt a
repugnance to liquor and is now as
though he had never tasted it. He
pronounces the cure as the greatest
boon ever offered to humanity.

The Express consoles itself with the
reflection that it was not much OF a

calls the old, old story-so old as to be
almost new now-of the fellow who,
when Noah's Ark was passing him in
the deluge, called out, "Oh Noah, won't
you let me in?" As no attention was
paid to his p,aintive appeal, he fell
back on philosophy and profanity, and
called out after the patriarch,
"Go to h-ll with your id old scow,

severe, but he performed them all to the
wonder and delight of the audience.
The mimic murder was a dramatic
scene performed in the audience while
the professor was blind-folded behind
the wings on the stage. He
then found the supposed murderer
among the audience, pointed out
the victim. found the hidden knife, and
showed how the mimic murder was
committed. Several mental pictures
were illustrated, such as selecting a
person or object thought of by some one
in the audience; finding word thought
of in a book, telling the thoughts OF
persons, etc. Another performance will
be given this evening; as it is Professor
Tyndall's last appearance in this city

LUMINOUS BAClLLI.
4 Peculiar Type of Bacteria Which GEN
crates Light.

Published discussions and treatiscs
on this subject have for the most part
been confined so exclusively to disease
germs that for the average reader the
mere.mention of the term "bacilli" is
sufficient to conjure up visions of
cholera, diphtheria, tuberculosis, and
other of the many ills which flesh is
heir to. Nevertheless the history of
disease germs is but small branch of
the science of bacteriology, which en-
braces the study of an infinite variety
of life forms, some of which are simply
innocuous to higher organisms, others
essential to their well-being, and all
deserving of careful study.
Among the many interesting types in
this world of life laid bare by the mi
croscope are those which generate light.
The bacteria have been classed, &C.
cording to their shapes as spherical,
cylindrical and spiral; the luminous
creatures with which we are now con-
cerned belong to the cylindrical or ba-
cilli type
1t is matter OF common observation
that raw flesh or fish exhibits a green
ish luminous appearance in the dark.
This luminosity is due to the presence
of a bacillus to which the name "Bac-
terium Phosphorescens" has been
given. Under the microscope it ex-
hibits itself as short thick staff,
rounded and stiff at both ends. This
luminous bacillus is very widely
diffused. The readiest means for iu-
vestigating it are to institute researches
in fresh sea-fsh. Take some fresh her.
rings or other sea fish, place them in a
covered DISH or between two plates at
a temperature of sixty degrees or up
wards, and after an interval of FREE
quently not more than twenty-four
hours, luminous spots will appear on
the surface of the fish and spread rap
idly, covering the whole fish in the
course, generally of the second day. II
we now leave the fish uncared for, pu-
| trescence, due to the action of other
bacteria, will set in, and as it extends
the beautiful pale-green phosphores-
cence disappears. The luminous bacilli
which houiished for time under con.
ditions favorable to their well being,
have gone down in the struggle for ex-
istence with another set of bacteria
better adapted to the newly-evolved
conditions. -Literary Digest.
