Explanation OF tho Causes Of EloridA's
t'S Varying Temperatures. 50


Explanstion OF tho Causes OF Florida's
Varying Temperature. -. :
People who visit the east coast Of
Florida, and especially the Indian river
and the Lake Worth region, often won
der why the climate of that section is
so delightful ut oil times of tho year
and go different in almost every par
ticular from what one would expect in
those ATTITUDES. The explanation is
simple enough. The difference be-
tween northern and scmitropical Flor
idn, apart from tho latitudinal dis
tance, is due to tho elevation of the
former and the distance from it of tho
gulf stream. The waters of the Gulf
of Mexico temper tho immediate coast
line. Their effect does not extend far
inland. The stream is pressed close to
the cast coast shore along Dadc coun-
ty by the bahama banks. Atlantic
steamships southwark bound, to avoid
the force of tho current, stand in so
near the shore that they can at some
points BIZ hail.! from land. The gulf
stream is an old story. but it is n great
fact. This vast, deep blue ocean river,
n thousand times the volume of the
Mississippi, is thirty miles wide, two
thousand feet deep, and has velocity
of five miles an hour the year round.
The temperature of the stream is
eighty-four degrees, or nine degrees
higher than the waters of the ocean
through which it Cows. The trade
winds blowing nine-tenths of the time,
winter and summer. from the eastward,
bear the stratum of warm air formed
by the gulf stream westward across
the land. This is why the cast coast is
mildcr and mere equablc than the west
coast in the same latitude. With the
gulf stream are found three other
equalizing aScncics-the trade winds,
the everglades, with u water surface
preventing 4 land breeze. and the zone
Of high baroInctric pressure. The mid
summer heat. that might otherwise be
nincty-ilve degrees, is reduced to some
thing like ciThty-eight degrees. The
midwintcr chill. which might get down
to thirty degrees, is warmed up to
something like forty degrees.

know this, SO when the witness began
TO shout his answers Boyer thought he
was doing it to be disrespectful. He
became angry and shouted his questions
in not very polite manner.
III his speech to the jury Boyer said
some very bitter things about the wit
ness, among which was, lyon saw how
much of a rowdy he was by his actions
ON the stand" He was quite taken
aback when United States District AT.
torney Hall arose and explained the wit
ness affliction. In addressing the jury
Attorney Boyer apologized for not being
able to present his case in an eloquent
manner for his soldier client, "for,
be said, las my client left part of his
body on the battlefield, so left part of
my voice at the breakfast table," He
had met with an accident to his teeth.
Attorney Boyer then went on to say
SIN the great book of books it says
that it is better to leave 90 guilty per
sons go unpunished than to punish one
innocent man." Attorney Hall in
closing answered this in neat man.
ner by saying: when the attorney fol
tho defense quoted about 90 guilty per-
sons from the book of books, at once
presumed he meant the Bible. can
now see my mistake, as that sentiment
is not expressed there, for by his book
of books he must have meant Boyer's
Criminal Digest. -" This created q
great laugh in the court.
As Attorney Boyer closed his speech
no did most uncommon thing. He
turned to the jury and said: IF there
is any point you don't understand about
this case you'd like me to explain, just
ask me the question. I'll have to make
the same restriction to you as did tc
the supreme court, however. told the
judges they were at liberty to ask me
questions concerning the case l had
before them and not to he afraid to dc
so, as they could not embarrass me, but
to ask only one question at a time, as
that was all could answer" This odd
practice created quite little sensation
in the court. Attorney Boyer, after
abusing witness in terrible manner,
turned and said, ''If that witness wants
to see me outside after the case is over,
I'll speak to him." The case gave con-
slant amusement by the oddities that
crept in, and Attorney Boyer's natural
manner of addressing the jury seemed

BOxWoOd.

Among a large class Of craftsmen the
wish has long been entertained for the
discovery of hard. compact and even
grained wood, having all the charac-
teristics Of lockwood and for which it
would form an efficient substitute. For
many years past the gradual dimin-
ution in the supplies of lockwood and the
deterioration in it's quality have proved
serious facts in more than one occupa-
tion, including pngravers. hardwood
dealers, ETC., especially the former, ON
account of the higher price asked for
the material and the difficulty Of SO.
curing it of the needed size and firmne6s
Of texture so as to insure the artistic
excellence of the engraving.
While by far the most important use
of this wood is for the engraver's art,
1t is also applied to numerous other
purposes, such, for instance, as weav.
ing shutties, mathematical instruments,
turnery uses, carving, cabinet work,
etc. The fact is interesting as well as
important that lockwood Is the nearest
approach to ivory of any wood known
and will therefore probably increase
gradually in value as it becomes scarcer.
Small wood under four inches, is used
considerably by fax spinners for rollers
and by turner's for various purposes,
rollers for rink skates, etc., and if free
from splits is of equal value with the
larger wood. New York Sun.

The Reason Why

The Wisconsin Central has become known
as the popular route for tourists and pleas
ure seekers, is because it pays particular
attention to this class of travel, and caters
to the comfort and convenience of its pa
irons. Its trains are equipped with the
finest Pullman sleepinL cars, parlor cars
and dining cars in which the meals are un-
excelled. 1t is the ''travelers choice to all

The Religious Changes in an Old Puritan
Town.

1t would be difficult to find more signif-
icant summary of the social and religious
changes that have come in American life
than are portrayed in an article In the March
number of The Forum under the title of
"A Religious Analysis Of New England
Town." The town selected for study is
Middleboro, Mass, which Is a typical New
England community situated in Plymouth
county where Puritanism and Congregation
alism held their day and generation undis-
puted. In this town now are all the
religious sects and all lack spiritual vigor.
Entertainments of one sort or another have
to great degree taken the place of religious
exercises, and the idea of worship has
passed almost wholly into the idea of enter
tainment. The aHthor of this very striking
comparison, the Rev. William Bayard Hale,
is rector of the Episcopal church there, and
he writes with frankness and kind
illness which add not little charm to the
analysis that he has made.

APPENDICITIS is POPULAR.
Nature of the Disease That of Late Has
Become Almost fashionable.

Nature of the Disense That of Late Has
Become Almost fashionable.
Not many years ago, a tolerably COM
mon report of the cause Of death was
inflammation of the bowels. 1t was a
pretty general term and has since been
little heard of as different forms of
inflammation in the abdominal cavity
have become better known.
The most startling of all this is APP
pendicitis. inflammation of the vermi-
form appendix. useless and dangerous
closed pouch which projects from the
caecum. Almost concurrently with the
enormous advance in surgery, which
makes opening the abdomen reasonably
safe instead of almost certainly fatal,
there has been an enormous increase
In the number of cases of this disease
reported by physicians. The disease has
acquired an Interest that ii could not
have while it was almost impossible
to treat it successfully While only
limited range of treatment was open
for any abdominal Inflammation it
made little difference just wncre or
what the lesion was now there are every
reason to decide promptly and accu-
rately and good hope of a surgical cure
in this and some ether affections Of the
lower viscera.
At the same time. it is evident that
much remains To be learned as to this
particular affection. Until recently II
was usually supposed 10 proceed from
mechanical irritation of some indiges-
tible substance which became fastened
in this slender blind passage. Now there
is germ theory for it, which gets
some support from the fact that occa
sionally in true case of appendicitis
no foreign substance is found in the ap
pendix. In the great majority of cases,
however, solid substance is found,
sometimes under circumstances which
make it impossible to doubt that it fur
nished the starting point for the attack.
There seems also to be distinct diff
ference of opinion among physicians as
to the length Of time a case may con-
tinue. Some say, or at least imply, that
q mild irritation may exist for weeks
or months, while others consider that
the acute and brief stage is the only
one which deserves to be known under
the title Of appendicitis. Hartford

LABOR AND FREE TRADE.
Avast Difference Between What CleveIan

A Vast Difference Between What Cleveland
Says and Does.
Under our form Of governments the value Of
labor as an element OF national prosperity
should be distinctly recognized, and the well
fareIof the iaboring men should be regarded as
especially entitled to legislative care 81
These are the words of Grover Cleve-
land, penned at the executive mansion
April %, 1886, i'll a message to the sem
ate and house of representatives ON the
arbitration of labor disputes. This was
q proper subject for the chief executive
of the nation to deal with, and his SEN
timents, as expressed. were proper. Bus
what was his meaning? Have his ac,
lions proved the honest intent of III
words? Or were these words, like sc
many others that he has utte}fed, bui
mere catch pennies--mere bidJ Tor de-
bauching the franchise lat thJ peoples
expense?'' Let us see.
We now have before us tine fear OF
free trade. The DemocraticI admins
tration proposes to reform save the
mark the tariff that proteetN labor.
1.-THE walfars of the laboring nap
should be regarded, said Mr.. Cleve\
land2 All that he cares for and the
free trade bosses care for is to get
cheap foreign luxuries from Europe and
wear foreign made clothes They don't
care for American goods or clothes made
by American labor.
How will these changes in the tariff
affect laborp If the Democratic admin
istration adheres to its platform upon
which it was elected to Office, it will
put revenue tax upon coffee, tea and
sugar. These are three articles of
daily use in every household. 1t means
an increase Of nearly 10 cents per pound
In the price Of coffee, Is cents more
per pound to pay for tea and an increase
Of from l to cents per pound in the
price Of sugar. Besides this the internal
revenue tax ON beer is to be doubled, 50
that the workingman will have to pig
more money for his beer or else get less
beer for his money. But what increased
taxes are there to be on the bossesp Their
champagne and other foreign wines will
pay 25 per cent less duty than former
ly, and their foreign clothes will cost
them from 25 to 60 per cent less. The
workingman will make this up by pay
