here are several important
colonization enterprises now under

largely Increase the population OF
that Territory within the next few
years. The advance which has
beenmade by Arizona in d horti-
cultural direction dnrin, tn past
i've years has been quit" r"ma' =
able. A dozen years ago, when the
Tombstone mines dre~ the atten-
tion of the country to the land OF
sunshine aud silver, scarcely any :
one outside of the Territory was
aware that anything but cactus
and nesquit could bc made togrow,
down there. Now, however, there
are already thousands upon thous-
ands, of acres Of orchard and vine
yard along the valleys of the Salt
and Gila rivers and canals have
been constructed which will irrigate
sufficient lands for hundreds of
acres more. Already Arizona fruits
are being shipped east in consider
able quantities and may be found
in the markets of the great cities.
Arizona is just now in the transi
ton stage, through which Oalifor-
MIA passed about twenty years
ago, and judging from what has
already been accomplished, wcsmay
expect to see wonderful transfer

next decade.
With statehood, which now APP

NARROW DYNAMITE ESCAPE.
The J. B. Schuyler Escaped a Dyna'
mite Cartridge by 500 Yards.

SANDY HOOK, Aug. 16, 1S94.-The SEN
~sational articles published about the
bursting of a dynamite shell in close
proximity to the fishing schooner J.. B.
Schuyler would injure the business of
the fishing bank boats to a great deal
if the story was founded on truth. As
observed from the Highlands, the shot
struck the water about 500 yards away
from the steamboat and could do no
damage
The officers in charge of the firing
had observed the steamboat and delayed
firing until she was out of range. This
happens frequently. The officer in
charge does not order fire" until he is
quite sure that no vessel is in range,
and they have often waited for over al
hour for vessels to get out of range
and even taking the charge out of the
gun and returned it to the magazine
rather than taking the chance of hitting
a vessel.
The pilot of the j. b. Schuyler was
mistaken in judging the distance, and
also in calling a ten-inch shell a dyna-
mite shell. The shot was fired from
the Crozier disappearing gun-carriage,
and was an empty shell which could
about it whatever. If there had been,
and the shell struck. as close as report
ed, the j. B. Schuyler would never have
reached port. There was no danger;
only a scare of the pilot.

What would you think if the family

laugh at the absurdity of such a notion
and of the ~improbability ofaever having
such startling words whispered into your
ear by your medical adviser, yet it is
not at all unlikely that even at this mo-
ment you nav thousands of wigglers
chasing each other up and down. your

concerning snake in thefb blood have been
made during the last nine months. prin-

The male snake is only about four-ffths
of an inch in length, and he constantly
keeps himself in the shape of a bow or
a new MOON, the female occupying q
crescent formed by the males body.
The male is not larger in diameter than

male much smaller, of course. but the

regarding them. Our learned Italian pro-
fessor says that the eggs of the blood
snake, or the larvae themselves, are
found in all kinds of water, especially
IN Africa and the Orient. After the eggs
hatch, the snake attaches itself to a mi
croscopic and harmless animalculae. This
latter, snake and all, is taken into the
stomach in the water. The sudden trans
formation kills the little animalculae,
