OUR SIX JAMAICAS.
jamaica Cleaner, 9Th Jaauasy)

A short while ago we laid before our readers
some interesting information showing how
the iron horse had learned to climb our hills
and to open up and increase the value Of a
large extent Of our upland regions. In the
Report Of the Director Of Gardens Just pub
lished, We find some interesting information
bearing on the upland regions 70 be opened
up by present and future extensions. The
main items # Information have been derived
by Mr., Fawcoit from the large stores in the
hands Of the late Surveyor-General, Mr..
thomas Harrison. From this it appears that
we have here the equivalent Of SIX islands.
Relow a thousand Sect OF elevation we have
All area Of 2.2173 qquare miles. Between
1000 and 1000 feet Of elevation, we have an
area Of 1929 square miles. Between 1000
and 5000 feet of elevation we have 400
square miles. Between 1850 and 1000 feet
ri square miles. Between 900 and 5000
feet 80 square miles. Above 5000 feet "a
square mi cs- These six areas have six CHI
mates. In respect to climate, going upwards
is equivalent to going northward8. Going
upwards is also largely going into new and
unwrought soils. To get to them %e have
been FIR m Amy years making new roads, and
lately we have boon very Jealous in doing
this, Il large number Of eyes having opened to
see the value Of them agrcultnrally and com.
mercially. Before the advent Of the new
Jamaica Railway Company our railway was
confined 10 area or island NO. /, extending
from the sea level to 1000 feet above IT, and
comprising 2,2l75 square miles of area and it
did not reach half way up this elevation of
/ 900 feet. At Porus, he highest point, it
only attained an elev ,tion of 400 feet. The
new extension of the railway has gone up
V,oSo tI,oD bllF vraV. fhrOprb tl,a oacoOd olavo-
ton of a thousand feet for at Greenvale
station the height above The sea is 1878 feet.
1t will thus be seen. that practically it has
brought within the reach of the markets of
the world, as they were not before, the second
area or island. or par. OF it, l,452s square
miles. What it has doAe in this way shows
what it CAN do 1t will yet get into the
region OF 1000 to 5000 feet above SEA level,
and so reach another 400 square miles, and
will NOT be far off the three smaller areas of
74,39, and "a square miles, a balance of 1877
in all. What it has done and can yet do lie
thus shown clea ly and advantageously-to
the landholders and tine general population
first and the lallwAy builders and owners
afterwards,
Mr., Fawcett's application of this interesting
information as to the island area is TO the
matter of gardens. His idea is that though
we have faone a good deal already in the way
of pubic gardening foI the common good,
we, have not done enough, we have not di-
vided cue doinei in the best way, and should
fill up at east one large gap. We have done
nothing for tine zone of oranges" he says,
and should lose no 1time in supplying the
deficiency. There. ARE are numerous plants"
he observes, like 2tthies other orange, citron,
pistachio, pecan nut ffIqtaorioe, and caper.

In ''Shepp's Worlds Fair Photo

ton Nearly every. country on the Globe
paid tribute to the Worlds Columbian
Exposition Woman We'd with man in
the splendid display made. Anchored
within the walls of the; White CITY,
was wealth Of artistic and industrial
treasure, the purchase Of which would
bankrupt the richest nation on@earth.
From snowy Alaska to Cape Horn,
from the isles of the engirdling oceans,
from the nations of Europe and Asia,
and even from Africa and Australia,
glorious treasures were poured in in one
generous avalanche. Whatever human
intel igence could conceive, or human
skill execute, was found in these treasure
palaces of the world.
Huge trains drawn by palpitating en-
gines, snorting in steam over thousands
of miles, bore these inexhaustible riches
to Chicago for many months. We bring
them to you in our wonderful book,
which, now that the Worlds Fair has
passed away, will remain not only a
souvenir but vivid panorama of the
most marvellous display Of ancient
or modern times.
