over $50 feet high but don't look over
10 or 15 feet high. On each side there
is huge gap in which the clouds roll
in one and out the other. These gaps
when it is clear look like huge door
ways, and in the distance we see cleai
fields and the sea. This is the grand
est sight ever saw; some say the vol
cano is grand but l call it terrible or
awful, but this deep cut in the walls of
the crater, which let the lava out into
the land and sea below is grand in the
fullest meaning of the word. We were
only up there 45 minutes and started
down at II, reaching home at O'Clock.
The next few days we rested and visited
minor points of interest on the islands
and landed in Honolulu the 10th day
after starting and after one of tne
grandest and most enjoyable trip l ever
expect to take.

QUEER THEATERs IN MEXICO,
Scenery Generally Poor and the Dialogue
of the PLAYS Extremely Verbose.

'"The theaters? Well, l have found
hem to be in rather primitive condi-
tion," said Manager Hanlon to q
Philadelphia Inquirer reporter. "In
size they are as large as ours: one In
particular, the Teatro Nacional, being
hbout equal in size to the Boston the
hter. The stage equipment in the
way of scenery, it must be admitted
is poor. Hardly a piece but has the
appearance of having seen many
years of hard service. But, then, I
TO not believe the Mexicans consider
fcenic embellishments sine qua non
In the staging OF their plays, as, for
the most part, what l saw were ex-
tremely verbose, replcte With lengthy
dialogue and devoid of much action.
They have to depend almost entirely
upon local talent for their plays and
players. ''Once in while a grand
opera company from Europe will visit
them, or genuine Spanish zarrula,
or comic opera company, but / am
told that they are few and far be-
tween, as it is An expensive and haz.
ardOus undertaking. A custom 1
noticed in the Teatro Principal, called
the Tandas' system, you will agree
might be adopted with advantage in
some theaters in this country. The
patrons pay for one act at time at
the rate of about 25 cents for an Or
cheStra seat. Should they remain in
their seats after the first act, the
treasurers go round and collect the
price for the succeeding act, so that
In case of a bad performance they
, need not consider themselves imposed
upon to any great extent. or course,
many leave after each act, returning
another evening for a different act.
You would naturally think that this
system would make the management
exercise great Judgment as to the
plays selected and manner of present
ing them from business standpoint.

tion of the audience remove their

only form of entertainment in this

that could be thoroughly understood
down there is pantomimc and the
style OF spectacle which l have the

Kissing.

Kissing is one OF those ancient Gus
toms which never grow old. As to
its invention, il is certain that Ma
turo was its author, and it began
with the first courtship. There is an
DID Scandinavian tradition that Ro-
wena, the daughtcrof IIengist, intro
luced the kiss into England, Just as
il the lads and lassies long before
Eowcna'S time had not discovered IL
for themselves. 1T almost makes one
wish he lived during i certain period
described by Hone in his queer old
Table Book" when in Ireland they
had ''kissing bees" on Easter Mon
lay, on which occasion it was the
duty of each female present to re-
ccive sat least one dozen hearty
kisses"

this is the seat of the disease must be eV-
ident to anyone who has his attention
particularly directed to it. The re-
searches Of botanical micrOscOpists, how
ever, seem to indicate that the disease
germ is species of bacterium, which
has been named by Prof. Burrll micro
coccus amylovorus, the green germ of
which it is said enters through the flow
ers, and through pores or openings in the
bark. 1t is said that this organism can
be cultivated in laboratory, and after
being grown there for several generations
be taken back to a tree and Will repro
duce the disease. Attempts to inOculate
the disease through the leaves have
failed. 1t does not seem to extend
attacked are cut off, healthy new
branches and sprouts will come out, and
often tree is never attacked but once.
1t is just possible that some kind of
washes applied every year regularly to
the trees, starting early in the spring,
might be a good precautiOn. The
writer, the editor of Melhan's Monthly,
has seen trees, however covered with
sulphured whitewash, badly stricken,
but it may have been that the disease
germs had penetrated the bark before
the wash had been applied. There is
much to be learned yet about this dis
ease,
AS yet the only thing considered worth
doing for pear blight is to cut off the af-
fected branches and destroy them by

the disease is presented on the leaves

More Potash Needed.

OF potash from the soil, and these crops
occupy large proportion of our I'M
proved lands.

washed away.
s. Nearly all of the special fertilizers
are especially rich in phosphoric aciG,
and do not contain enough potash.
6. Superphosphates were the first fer
tilizers to come into generel use among
our farmers.
7. When the farmer buys fertilizer
he still, nine times out of ten, calls for
phosphate.
s. AS a result OF the above conditions,
our soils seem to be quite generally in
need OF more liberal applications of pot

8. In the case OF corn the need of pot
ash appears to be particularly promi'
nent.
10. For good crop of corn the fertil-
izer used should apply 100 to 1875 Id. Of

means also a sod which when turned

May, Both, 1893
The Florida exhibit as it is in this
building is shame and disgrace "and
something must be done about it" and
done quickly. Let me tell you just how
it looks for I saw it not five minutes
ago and hasten to let you readers know
that they may act accordingly.
After passing the magnificent fruit ex-
hibit of our great competitor, California
too elaborate to particularize, and the
marvellous fruit exhibits from Canada,
Oregon, Idaho, Washington and other
States, the throngs of sight seers pass
along to the magnificent space devoted
to Florida "What fall it is my coun-
trymen,' what is not unoccupied (and
there are hundreds of feet of dust COW
erd boards)-is rusty and worse than
empty. You pass under an archway Of
rusty oranges which is fast going into
decay, and is sad contrast to Califor
MAS brilliant colored car loads of fruit.
There are four discrepit old tables most
ly empty just through this: passed by
10000 to $4,000 people each day. In
the center of the space is giant top of
a cocoanut tree from Lake Worth which
attracts great attention, but is fast get
ting beyond the exhibiting stage as it's
branches wither and droop more each
day. A lot of withered faded old cocoa
nut leaves decorate the walls-a few pine
apple plants with half decayed leaves
and implanted boxes are scattered about,
scattered is the word there is nothing
grouped or altistica!ly arranged. A few
glass jars of somebody's fruit is placed
at intervals of 3 to feet on otherwise
empty shelves or steps.
