between the saloon and the Santa Fe

With the mixologist slightly in the lead.
In the meantime the owners of the
monkey put in an appearance armed
with guns and clubs and saw two feet

sleeves, the other Mr.. Monkey with the

A Big Monkey and His Adventures at
Santa Nj onica.
The proprietor of the Santa Monica os-
trich farm owns valuable monkey called
JACK, who is nearly as large as gorilla.
Jack few days ago, becoming tired of
hisrestrainst in the cage, concluded to
waHder forth and see a little of the out
side world. After breaking loose he
made for the Office and feather room, in
the rear of WHICH was fine plate glass
mirror. AS soon as his royal highness
reached the room he saw what he sup
posed was another monkey in the glass,
and seizing bottle of ink hurled it at
the offending monkey. Smash, smash,
went the glass, and leap, leap went Mr..
Monkey out of the window, making
straight for the livery stable adjacent.
Spying the proprietor, who weighs about
$50 pounds, who also saw the monkey,
he started in hot pursuit OF him. II is
needless to state that the livery stable
keeper stood not on the order of his 60
ing, but made for the Office for
dear life. 1t was q very pretty
race for onlookers, the betting
at the onset being in favor of the
monkey. After an exciting and close
race the liveryman reached the office
lust shade ahead of the monkey, and
giving him kick, shut the door, but
not before he had lost q portion of his
$12 pantaloons. When the monkey
found he was baffled, he climbed to

The Jopps Orange.

There ere many inquiries coming in
regarding the "Jopps" orange, variety
that originated in 1879 with A. B. Chap
man of San Gabriel, from seeds OBJ
tanned from Joppa, Palestine, and
named "Joppa" by Mr.. Chapman in
order to indicate the locality OF it's orig
inal home in the holy land. 1t is de-
scribed in the annual report of the state
board of horticulture for 1891 as follows
Joppa-A very promising variety !;
can be marketed early, being sweet
from about the time it commences to
color, or can be left until May or June
without deterioration in quality. Fruit
oblong, medium to large, uniform,
practically seeoless, distinguished by a
well-de6ned corona at the blossom end !;
thin rind, solid, and free from rag pulp
very fine, sweet and juicy; resembles
the pulp of the Washington navel. The
fruit does not drop from the tree, is very
tenacious and OF deep red color. The
tree is thornless, an upright and vigor-
GUS grower, attains the bearing surface
of thrifty seedlings, and is heavy
bearer. Foliage large, dark green,
symmetrical, and very abundant, lam
ceolate, petiole prominently winged on
either side.
DIR. O. T. Pratt of Rialto has this
variety just coming into bearing at the
age of three years, and from him we
learn that the above description ia very
correct. Most of the oranges are seed
lees, though there will sometimes be
from one to three or four seeds to the
orange. His trees, though so young,
give evidence OF the variety being o
very prolific bearer, as on one stem, not
over fourth OF an inch in diameter,
hung cluster OF Is as fine oranges as
can be found. They resemble the Wash
ington navel very much, though OF
slightly different form, and flavor that
many think superior to the navel.

few years ago--in 1854. ! believe
several well-known baseball players at
tempted the impossible feat of catching
and holding n regulation Sralding
dropped from the top of Washiagton's
monument, says the st. Louis Republic.
The experiment was tried by Trott,
Hines, Baker, Snyder and several lesser
lights In the fraternity, but none OF
them succeeded in holding It or even
materially checking it's progress to the
ground. Tho men named above were
all experts at their trades, but Il Is evi-
dent that they gavo their sports more
attention than they did their philoso-
ply during their school days, otherwise
they would have known that a body
dropped from such height would be
travelling with a speed OF IS7 feet per
second at the time Of It's contact with
The earth. The reason why no living
man could catch and hold ball travel
ing with such velocity Ia plain enough
by making sono hasty comparisons:
The greatest distance n ball has ever
been thrown Is l05 yards / foot and =
inch. The longest init" on record Is a
few inches over 200 yards. Ia this last
instance the ball was sent into the air
at an angle OF forty-fve degrees Now,
mind this: Allowing the same ball TO
have been hit in the same direction at
the same angle. with sufficient force 70
give IL the velocity at the starting
point that IL would acquire in falling
in falling from height of 555 feet, II
would have gone 544 yards instead Of a
bare fraction over 300 Yards And then.
even think OF trying TO catch a ball the
instant IL leaves the bat on zoo yards'
trip! Ouchl Is IL any wonder that the
boys let tho ball slip through their fn-
gers when IL was on the ''home stretch"
after having fallen from the apex Of the

On the contrary, "Citizen" is well

good span Of mules may be able to
pull more than a team OF ordinary
horses, and that a good heavy yoke
Of oxen will often draw much
heavier load than is possible for
either mules or horses. We repeat,
that we had no intention OF attack.

A subscriber living in Gainesville.

substance which he states foil TO the
earth in large quantities during rain
on September 20. sample OF the ma
terial had already been forwarded by
another person To the Smithsonian In
stitution and was thence sent to DIR.
George Marx, of the department OF ag-
riculture, who makes the following re-
port;
Tho sample OF white substance
which fell in large quantities in Gaines
vile, Fla, has been handed me by the
botnnist of this department for exami-
nation.
This very interesting material Is
without doubt a product OF the spinning
glands of a spider, or rather thousands
of spiders. The chemical reagencies
prove u Is not n vegetable matter, but
animal, and the fact that strands can be
dissolved almost infinitely into minute
threads, and further, the great length
of the strands, hundreds of yards,
causes the inference that only n spider
could manufacture IL.
The species OF this spider Is unknown
10 me, but 1t Is not improbable that IL
might be Eephila, a very large orb
weaver, which abounds in the southern
part of the United States and the West
Indies.
The young spiders of many genera
