riSOn murder case returned verdict Of

asked for time to present affidavits and
ask for a new trial, and they were given

A seamless steol Roat.

A seamless steel boat, which has been
patented by an English engineer, has
been launched from the yard of the
company that was formed to work the
patent at Wakefield, England.
The boat is fifteen feet long, feet
beam, weighs 1895 pounds and will carry
six persons. It was made from single
piece af steel, compressed into form by
powerful hydraulic machinery.
The company has an extensive plant,
containing press weighing 165 tons,
and giving pressure equal to 800 pounds
to the square inch.
It is intended to build the boats for
service on large steamships and vessels
going to countries where the climate is
not and dry, as the nature of the con-
struction of these boats renders them
more seaworthy than similar craft of
wood, as they will neither shrink nor
warp. They are fitted in the interior
with wood, and are therefore useful for
pleasure boats. Philadelphia Record.
Los Angeles herald., 1892-03-13

but in delicate aroma and sprightliness
it is scarcely excelled or equaled hy any.
In size it is about medium, and in shape,
it is slightly oval. The peel is not SO
thin as that of some varieties, but the
core is unusually small and seeds arel
quite rare. The name "Blood" is at
tached because of the unusual character-I
istic red color of the pulp. This. howl
ever, varies greatly in different climates \
as for instance, in California it is much
more inclined to show the red than in]
Florida and the gulf coast, where, ini
fact, it sometimes occurs that WE'LL
developed specimens have no red color
at all, or but the slightest trace.
The skin is also thicker in Cali
fornia, and the flavor is more
more acid than the same variety grown
east of the Mississippi river. In the
Mediterranean regions, the flesh is al
most as red as that of the beet, the skin
is quite thick and the flavor tart. Aa
it's name indicates, this orange is a
native, so far back as history goes, of
the island of Malta, in the Mediterra-
mean sea. 1t has been known there for
many centuries, but not before the
Christian era, as the Roman writer's
make no mention of this or any other
variety of the orange at that time. !.
NOTES.
The first apple trees in bearing upon
the Pacific coast are said to be from seed
planted by missionaries at Walla Walla
in 1887.
The almond has been quite favorite
among the fruit growers OF France, and
large areas have been planted, averag-
ing some 1900 acres per annum for quite
a number of years.
AS an indication of the difficulties
fruit growers have to contend against in
other lands, it is stated that in France
in 1870 there were 10000 acres of pro-
ductive olive groves, but by reason of
succession of heavy frosts these were
cut down to less than 10000 acres in
1872. The vine in the same country
shows great variations. There were in
bearing in 1840, 62,477 acres; in 1855,
10000; in 1869, 153, 900; in 1872, 72,-
600. Phylloxera was the principal cause
OF this great change, and brought this
industry down to nearly the same area
as thirty years before.
1t is estimated that the six southern
counties of California are alone capable
of producing all the figs, grapes, olives
and olive oil, oranges, lemons, nuts,
prunes and other fruits now annually
imported by the United States from
France, Italy, Spain and other Mediter-
ranean ports. To accomplish this in q
reasonable time it is only necessary to
provide an ample supply of water for all
irrigable lands and divide these into
small tracts, offered for sale at reason
able profit over actual cost. This being
done, immigrants will flock hitherward
as water runs to the sea.

A Persistent Dog Beggar.

One of the most persistent beggars in
Portland, Me-, is collie dog which Is
very fond of doughnuts. The collie, in
company with his mistress, visited q
bakery one day last fall, and perceiving
some doughnuts in showcase he sat
down and pleaded, by means of short,
sharp barks, for treat. The clerkgen-
erously fed the smart dog, but he wishes
that he hadn't, for every day since the
collie has appeared to beg for more
doughnuts. If the shop door is closed
he will wait outside until some one
opens it, and then dodge in to get his
regular free lunch.-Portland Letter.
