Fruit trees are more liable to bear

The southern Rice Crop.

More than one-half of the rice crop
In Georgia and South Carolina was de-
stroyed by the great cyclone. The rice
planters there had begun the harvest
ing of the seasons crop when the rude
winds and waves swept over the fields
in which the slender stalks of the
plants were standing and ruined their
ripened heads. The lost must be
heavy for the southern regions of both
the States.
Yet the American rice crop of the
year will be heavy. The Louisiana
crop is safe. The gathering of it be-
gan a month ago. The plant ripens
earlier in the Louisiana low-landS
than in Georgia or South Caro-
lima. By the reports from New
Orleans we are assured that the years
yield in Louisiana will not fall short of
!, 500, 900 barrels, and that the quality
Is of the best. Within the past twenty
years that state has become the lead
ing rice state of the south, and the cul-
ture of the plant is now one of its chief
industries and one of its most profit
able. At an average price of 50 bar
rel this seasons yield is worth about
Sc, ,OOO, ,O00 The rice experts predict
that the annual yield will be doubled
within a very few years, and the pre-
dfetion is founded upon the regular in
crease in the size of the crop since 1880.
Though only part of the state is
adapted to raising rice, that part is
large enough to produce far more than
twice the product Of this season.-N.

Glass cut in prism shape will illustrate
the value of angles in any transparent
body, and glass diamonds can often be
cut SO that they resemble greatly the
pure water gems. Fine, large diamonds
are SO very expensive that many wealthy
