The Foot Rot Question
tor Florida AgricuLturiSt:

copied from the New Orleans Times
Democrat, by r. Maitre, on Foot Rot in
the Orange Tree. No Remedy
l join issue with the writer on the no
remedy theory and also the origin of the
disease being first found in the top or
leaves of the tree.
After careful microscopic examina-
ton and study of the disease, am salts
fed that it is micrObe or microscopic
insect that attacks the roOtlets or feeders
of the trees and after time, by the alb
surption of the sap and cutting off the
nourishment from below it shows the
effect in the leaves or respiratory organs
| have carefully examined a good many
groves of orange trees affected with foot
rot or NAL di gonna, and in different
stages of the disease and | am fully of
the opinion that it is the little worm be-
longing to the family, Gf not the worm
ITSELF known as Anguillula, the same
that is doing so much mischief in peach
orchards, tomato fields and cow peas.
The learned DR.. J. c. Veal, is one of the
same opinion, and he is a gentleman of
known scientific ability. Mr.. &. Bean
gives as his opinion the same cause.
Mr.. Maitre starts out by saying that
there is no remedy, and as he gets deeper
into his subject he admits that he does
not know of any remedy.
No; lynn111 Of
any remedy he must not come to the
conclusion that there isl remedy. The
facts Justify me in stating that the dis
ease, foot rot, skin disease sap bleeding,
gum disease or NAL di gonna has been
cured repeatedly and in some groves
where the trees were badly affected, so
much so that even half the roots and
tops were dead.
A valuable grove near OvledO, twenty
three years old was so badly affected
that the owner said that if he could
ripen that years crop it was all he ex-
pected to do. That was three years
ago and today nearly every tree is healthy
and has good crop of fruit this year
The manager of this grove went syste-
matically to work to eradicate the disease
and kept at it, and the result is as stated
a healthy grove. Another case near
Sanford, a gentleman had a grove well
loaded with oranges and badly affected
with foot rot. He used we'll known
remedy and cured the patients. and has
healthy grove as the result.
l have cured several groves in the
past year with my we'll known remedy
and what has been in the past can be
again.
The man having an orange grove
affected with foot rot must not expect to
cure the disease by sitting down and
folding his hands, or simply applying
proper remedies once or twice during a
season. The application must be thor
ough and often and for long time, and
success will crown the efforts of the pa
tient, thoughtful worker, Mr.. Maitre
to the contrary, Notwithstanding.

TRAVELLING IN FRANCE.
An Important Railway Decision That
Causes Comment Abroad.

II is said. with some touch OF scorn
or our insular ways. that things are
done differently i'm France" but not al
ways better. The railway passenger. in
deed, Is better done there, but only I'm
the sense OF more completely done-done
brown. His luggage Is stolen and he
gets no compensation; he finds the guard
very different being from that pink OF
cfvility In England. and he can never
get accustomed TO the customs The
last feat OF French stationmaster has
been to decide that an article of luggage
placed on the seat does not keep your
place In a railway carriage. This to
persons travelling alone, and who have
nobody TO keep their place for them,
must be indeed delightful. In England
this right Is never questioned, though In
some Instances IL Is abused.
IT Is recorded OF a certain hair-split-
ting bishop who was accustomed TO COM
pose his Charges" In the train, and
whose desk was always placed opposite
10 him. that he invariably treated IL as
though IL were a living vis-a-vis. The
train being very full on one occasion, a
would-be passenger inquired II this place
was taken and the bishop with his sun
niest smile. expressed regret that there
was no room. II don't think that was
quite right. my lord" said one of his
fellow passengers, who, we may be sure,
was not curate What was not
right?" inquired his lordship urbanely.

Mrs. War Cry Loves Her Adopted
Puppies as Much as Her Kittens.

ct have frequently heard of hens
raising young ducks. but for the first
time l learned today of a cat that is
now nursing puppies said f. Briggs,
president Of the Pacific kennel club, to
a reporter.
My friend Bill Enicott. who is en-
ployed at $50 Market-st. and who resides
in East Oakland" continued Mr. Briggs,
us the fortunate owner of a motherly
cat which is devotedly attached TO we'll
behaved puppies.
"A few days ago a Thoroughbred fox
terrier, which Mr.. Ellicott had Imported
from New York last year. gave birth TO
seven frail youngsters. The mother,
being in an enfeebled condition, the
young man from East Oakland decided
upon drowning some of the little fell
lows. and was in the act of carrying out
his intentions when neighbor suggest
ed that he place some of the puppies in
the care of a cat that was nursing a
number of kittens I'm his backyard.
THE suggestion was acted upon. Mr.
Ellicott took two of the sucking ter
riers from their mother and consigned
them to the care Of the cat after the
latter's progeny. with the exception of
one cute little kitten, were stolen and
drowned.
Now the strange feature resulting
from the experiment of raising thor
oughbred terriers under a foster mother
is that the two little GROWERS are more
fancied by the feline rat-catcher than is
her own little kit, which chums side by
side with the terriers under the watch

which the cat is known by.
"Mr. Ellicott stated" continued Mr..
Briggs, that the puppies which the cat
is nursing are much stronger and in far
better condition than the ones which
are being nursed by their mother
1T is pleasure" said Mr. McEllicott,
Ito watch that cat when a dog draws
near. Her hair will bristle UP as
straight the needles on a porcupfne's
back and her eyes flash with rage.
IF doggy gets too close he will be
chantment to the view, for Mrs. War
lenge her to combat.
"A few evenings ago a pointer hap
pened into the yard where the cat was
fondling her canine and feline beauties,
and, unthinl<ingly. no doubt, ran within
few feet of the box i'm which the
mother was resting. Like a flash Mrs.
War Cry sprang from her lair and
landed with all tours on the back of
the quail hunter.
well. you should have been there to
see that dog run. Why, he actually
flew over the earth. giving tongue at
every bound. and the cat remained in
the saddle. so TO speak, until the pointer
had put several yards space between

BARS FOR THE FLOOD MANSION.

There is "A great deal OF curiosity as
To the Flood mansion on Mob Hill. All
OF the windows on the first floor are
lofty. and those in the front of the house
are arched. On either side OF the broad
entrance the glass Is protected by heavy

Facts About Dynamite.

Very few people have a correct idea OF
what dynamite Is, OF what II is made
and the uses TO which II Is put. The In
dustrial World says of IL: To the French
belongs the honor of its discovery and
its practical use Nitrogycerin Is the
force OF all high explosives Dynamite
r. the name most usually given TO these
explosives, though other names are some
times used.
Dynamite is simply nitroglycerin mixed
with various ingredients. Nitroglycerin
is made by mixing sulphuric and nitric
acid with Bweet glycerin. the same that
is used by the ladies to prevent chapped
hands. Mixing the acids and glycerin is
where the great danger lies in the max
ing Of nitroglycerin.
The other ingredients for making dyna-
mite are nitrate of soda. which is found
only in Cnili; carbonate of magnesia and
wood pulp.

Love For the Zigzag.

The straight line is an abomination
to the Chinese. They endeavor to
avoid it in their streets and buildings
and have banished it completely where
country field paths are concerned.
They will always substitute a curve
whenever possible, or they will torture
it into a zigzag.
In districts not devastated by the Tai
Pings nor subject to the influence of
the foreigner, the houses and temples
are characterized by curved often
peaked, roofs. ornamented with fantas-
tic notifications of the myriad stroke
pattern" The inhabitants of such re-
gions are soon found to have a mental
world to correspond. The straight line
is secuted. They think in curves and
zigzags. To the Chinese mind the
straight line is suggestive of death and
demons. 1t belongs not to the heaven
above nor to the earth beneath. In a
true horizon line are seen the "undula-
tions of the dragon. Therefore, argue
the Chinese, the straight line pertains
to hades. contemporary Rey&ow.
