An Eyer.Bearing Orange Tree,

Mr.. Simms, the proper founder of
this most valuable fruit, says it is a
true Citrus vulgaris, found wild in the
Apopka hammock, without the bitter
of the common wild orange of our
hnmmocks. The tree has the charac-
teristics of being in fruit the year
round, and is without doubt cross
the sour orange with the swcet-and
of holding the fruit on the tree for
months after they are fully ripe. The
original tree now has both green and
ripe oranges, and they are picked ripe,
juicy, and delicious any day in the
year. The fruit is more even in siz0
and thinner skinned than the old one,
with less rag and but very few seeds,
and for home use every garden from
Tampa to Brunswick should possess it.
1t surely must prove valuable as o
market variety. Only to think of il
"A ripe orange picked from the tree
every morning before breakfast the
year round! A guarantee is given by
Mr.. Simms that the original tree was
found in the month of August full OF
bloom and green and ripe fruit. -

The occurrence of what is known as
ball lightning is so rare that every in.
stance of it is of some interest. The
London Lancet lately described mar
row escape from death by this form of
lightning, which was experienced by
a surgeon of Louvain who had gone
to visit patient in neighborine
town. He was overtaken by Il thun.
der-storm, and what he described as
ball of fire descended upon and rem
dered him for some time unconscious.
On coming to himself he found
that the cloth of the umbrella which
he had been holding was completely
burned off its steel framework, the
metal being twisted into every shape.
He attributes his safety to the circum-
stance that the umbrella haG wooden
handle; had it been of metal he must
have been instantaneously killed. -
