limitations of tho Elnel .Tow.r.

The great success of the Eiffel tower,
both financially and otherwise, has led to
a host of imitators. The Watkin tower,
1,200 feet high, is being designed by Sir
Benjamin Baker, and it is to be erected
at Wembley park, near Willesden, the
foundation being nearly completed. The
cost is estimated at e20O, 900, of which
100000 has been subscribed privately.
The Blackpool tower has been designed
by Messrs. Maxwell &s Tuke, and the
contract has been let to Messrs Heenan
s. Froude for $40, 500, the total weight
of the structure being 1000 tons. It will
be between 400 feet and 500 feet high. /.
The Isle of Man tower at Douglas is
now well advanced and does not inn
prove in appearance as the work pro-
ceeds. The Brighton tower has not yet
been started, and the plans are not def
nitely decided. The Columbian tower,
at Chicago, designed by Mr.. G. S. Mori-
son, is to be 1,120 feet high from the
bottom of the foundation to the top of
the flagstaff. 1t has profile very SINH
lar to the Eiffel tower, but the construc-
ton is entirely different. The total
weight of the structure alone is 1000
tons; of the floors and staircases, 1000
tons; live load, . 700 tons, making To-
tai of Ii 900 tons.-London Industries

Old Preventive..

All the old preventives are being used
in the present raid of influenza, and
some new ones. Faith in the carnphor
bag still prevails, and English people,
who, it must be admitted, are peculi-
arly afflicted with. the distemper find
practical solace in the Roman fever
safeguard. A three or four grain auinine
capsule is taken at $50 in the morning,
followed at once with a small cup of black
coffee. IA newer agent, said to prevent
efficiently, is to hang damp cloths, upon
which thirty drops of volatile oil of
eucalyptus are sprinkled, in rooms and
corridors; little should be mixed with
spirits Of wine and used as a spray.
Eucalyptus in minute doses, one drop
on a lump OF sugar, is sometimes en-
ployed to ward of scarlet fever where
one has been exposed It is not, how
ever, regarded as an absolute prophy-
Tactic. It should be used only under the
directions of physician. Her Point OF

A number of republican exchanges
quote with approval the card of Killen,
Starr & Thomas, which is an attempted
justitican of F. A. Moore, republican
candidate for supreme judge. The card
is held to be a complete refutation of the
charges. The CHRONICLE regrets its
inability to see where the refutation
comes'in. Moore is charged with hay-
ing written will for woman who was
unconscious, according to his own testi-
snony, and in the very article of death,
at the time her mark was put to it. It
was made in favor of the woman's hus-
band and disinherited her three daught-
ers. Afterwards. Moore made q contract
with the three girls; to break the win
and sell the land in question for Sc, 900.
The will was accordingly broken, the
land was sold and Moore received a fee
of 81 900 for the job. At the same time
Moore sold two of the three shares in
the land to himself. and partner for half
their value:s These are the charges,
made on no less authority than the
court record and the testimony of Judge
Moore himself. ,iMessrs. Killen, Starr.
& Thomas have not srefuted these
charges, nor any of thems They have
not attempted to refute them. They
simply. say that the court completely
justified Judge Moore, whereas Judge
Moore was never on trial, except asPhe
is now, at the bar of pablic opinion.
There are thousands Of republi blicans all
over Oregon who want ktos vote Sfor Mr..
Moore and will do SO if he can clear his
skirts of these Charges; but something
more is needed than asdaubsof perfunc-
tory whitewash, and that too, admin
istered by the attorneys for the defend
ant, who like Judge Moore himself were
interested in a verdict for their clients.

Cold Water Injuries Plants,

Guard against the application of cold
or hard water to the roots of plants, and
especially in the winter months, when
there has been heavy fall of snow, hail
or cold rains. The water in the tanks
then becomes very much too cold. This
may not be noticed in the ordinary
course of things, and the plants are sure
to suffer check at the roots that, in the
case of camellias, for instance, would
be quite sufficient to cause bud dropping.
am always very careful that the water
in our tanks is few degrees warmer
than the house in which the plants are
growing. This is very important in sue
cessful plant culture.
We are apt to say sometimes on be-
holding sickly plant-one mildewed or
with rust on the foliage-that it must
have been subjected to a draft or cur
rent of cold air, whereas the probable
cause was the use of cold water, which
paralyzed the roots. Proof of this may
easily be seen by giving one or two ap-
plications of cold water to winter Gu
cumbers or kidney beans when setting
their pods.-Exchange.

A Rich Led 60.

The Ventura Free Press says George
W. Styles and H. A. Mills, old-time
miners, recently came in from the Mo-
jave desert loaded with very rich gold
specimens taken from q new strike
which they recently discovered in the
Argus range Of M untains. The ledge
discovered is eight feet wide and aesays
$l36 per ton in gold and also carries
silver. The mine, which is named
Clara Belle, is in the southern boundary
of Iuyo county, eight miles from Mo.
jave. Styles and Mills claim to have
found the old Argus mine, which was
worked in 1858. but abandoned owing to
savage Indians.
The ledge, which they claim to be the
Argus mine, is 1877 feet thick, and 10000
tons OF chloride silver ore is said to be in
eight which assays from $45 to 1886 per
ton. The Argus mine was lost in the
earlier days and has been hunted for by
miners the past 20 years, but until
recently never has been found. The
Indians in 1853 killed the miners who
then were working the rich prospect and
they have held the country from pros
pectors to some extent. The old re-
vengeful Indians having died and the
younger remaining few have become co.
much civilized that prospectors are paf-
mitted to penetrate that desolate and
rich gold bearing region.

tion. His reply 10 as follows:

tario CAL:
DEAR Mr.. Collins: Your letter Of
the 18th instant is before me, and the
navel oranges have been carefully exam
iued. The disease which is affecting
these oranges is what / called black rot
of the orange. In some cases several
pieces of fungi are found in the affected
spots, but one form is, in most cases,
apparently at the bottom of the work.
This is new species OF macrosporium,
which has been named macrosporium
citri. / began work on this disease last
fall, and now have q paper nearly ready
for publication on the subject. Ill mis-
take not, you were shown plate on the
subject. representing the diseased fruit
in several stages, which was prepared
during the past Writer. At any rate,
the matter was worked up carefully in
the orchards of Tustin. Riverside, Po-
mona, etc.
The loss caused is from s to 10 per
cent of the navel crop. No experiments
have thus far been conducted to pre-
vent the trouble, but it is probable that
spraying with the ammoniacal copper
carbonate would largely prevent 1t.
You will find the formula in the notes
appended to the paper on disease OF
almonds which 1 send you herewith
Up. III.
l do not know that will be able to
conduct any experiments in this disease
this winter myself, but it would greatly
please me If you could try this spray on
some trees and then carefully compare
the fruit with an equal number of un-
sprayed fruits of the same orchard.
In case you should see fit to conduct
experiments it might be we'll to write
NE to that effect, and I will give you
euGh facts Of value as may be in my
hands. Cordially yours.

think probably Professor Pierce's
estimate OF damage is too high at
present, as the disease has been OBJ
served in other places for the past Ave
or six years. But there is the possible
ity that it may become more destructive
in the future, and the orange growers
will be wise if they observe their work
closely. Its presence is easily discerned
by premature coloring of the effected
fruit.-[W. E. Collins in Ontario OBJ

NATIVE.

The winnings of the native sires rep
resented by 1876 starters give an average
of $3O35 to the horse. The winnings of
the imported eires, represented by 172
starters, give an average of $2S32.6O.
1 have run this thing all over dozen
times and tried to give the native sires
the worst of it, but they are ahead, and
largely 80. The only point worthy of
consideration is that OF the six native
sires given above. four were by Leaning
ton and two by Australian, both bred in
England. The nearest consolation in it
for the advocate OF the old American
blood lies in the fact that Lexington,
foaled AZ years ago, got the dams OF three
out of the six. But back of that
the English blood again demands recog-
milton, for Glencoe got the grand dams
of three and the great grand dam of an
other. There can be no doubt now that
bennington was the best horse ever inn
ported from England, with Glencoe in
second place.
