and enthusiastic convention.
While Messrs. Henry and Harry Wright
were returning from Oviedo their horse
became frightened. Mr.. Henry Wright
attempted to hold him by the bits, but
finding it impossible to do so, he at
tempted to trip the horse. The animal
tripped him instead, treading on and
bruising him in serious manner. Find
ing it impossible for Mr.. Henry to walk
far, Harry Wright procured carriage
and conveyed him to LongwoOd. The
horse ran five miles, finally stopping for
rest at Maitland, with only two wheels
of what a few minutes before was good
carriage. Mr.. Henry is able to be
around a little, although he suffers
greatly from his bruises.
Mrs. Salem, white woman, of Pen
sacola, died last week under circum-
stances leading to the belief that she had
been poisoned. An autopsy was held
and the stomach sent to DR.. Metz, Of
New Orleans, for analysis. Thomas
Mcleod has been arrested and will be
held until the report Of the chemist is
received. Mcleod had been on intimate
terms with the woman and it is said
gave her prescription to break her of
the habit of drinking. The body of Mrs.

A committee of citizens of Tallahassee
attended the session of the county COM
missioners for the purpose of consulting
the board as to Leon county exhibit
at the Atlanta exposition. An infol NAL
discussion Of the matter developed the
| fact that the commissioners were heart
lily in favor of making an exhibit and
that they would cheerfully cooperate
with all citizens in the work. The board
will contribute $3.50 and probably more
toward an exhibit. The citizens present
retired to the Office of Sheriff Pearce and
organized for the preliminary work by
electing Gen. Patrick Houstoun presl-
dent, FL. S. Elliott, vice president; G.
w. Saxon, treasurer, and N. NJ. Bowen,
secretary. r. @. Long was appointed on
exhibits and T. r. Byrd on finances,
both to select their associates. 1t is safe
to predict that Leon county will have
credi1able display at Atlanta.
School officers, teachers, and pupils of
the public schools are taking a lively in

exhibit will be m ade Of which the whole

them was highly commended by all VIII"
saw it. County Superintendent N. B
Cook of this county has issued a circu
lar to the teachers of the public schools
calling their attention to the Importance
of making a creditable exhibit at At
lanta. He suggests that an exhibit be
made of the actual school work of the
pupils during school hours, and in &C
cordance with the curriculum in use.
The superintendent is having blanks
printed covering all the curriculum to
be used in the written examinations of

At meeting of citizens of Ocala sew

the American Association Of Mining En-

1t has been publicly stated that the
recent freeze killed the nocoanut trees.
and that "their tall, bleak, black trunks
looked almost funeral in their desola-

flowers have appeared on the trees on
Mr.. Edisons's place.
Mr.. J. e. Ingraham, recently appointed

Dingbats.

The Boston Journal gives various
theories as to the meaning Of the word
''dingbats. 4" One writer who spent his
boyhood in Maine thinks it means to
spank, because his mother when getting
ready to use the slipper threatened to
put the "dingbats" on him. From Will
barham academy comes the explanation
that it means the breakfast biscuit,
which the students dispose of by stick
ing it to the under side of the table,
throwing it at the heads of other stu
dents or eating it. A Connecticut pupil
states that to receive punishment at the
hands Of the teacher is known as "get-
ting the dingbats. - Two Philadel-
phians agreed that it means money, as
in the sentence, "I've got the dingbats
for it.. But New Hampshire agrees
with Maine that it means spanking,
and so the majority appears to side with
the maternal slipper. It is from such
''little acorns" that the tall tree of our
almost cosmopolitan language has
grown. We got "blizzard" from the
west, "kuklux" from the south, ''boom"
from the ambitious cities, crank"
from the eccentric minds in every part
of the country, "pantata" from Italy,
"chalitza" from Russia. Dingbats is
going to be great convenience.

Growing Miniature Trees.

1t is vastly interesting to experiment
with an acorn and study it's possibilities
as an attractive window garden plant
One of the most popular methods of
starting it into growth is to suspend it by
piece Of thread within half an inch of
the surface of some water contained in
hyacinth glass. 1t tshould be permitted
to remain suspended in this manner
without being disturbed, and after a
time it will burst and throw a root into
the water and shoot upward its straight
and tapering stem, with beautiful little
green leaves. A young oak tree growing
in this manner in the window is a very
interesting object Several oak trees and
also chestnut tree have been noticed
growing thus, but they are liable to die
after few months, probably owing to
the fact that the water is not changed
often enough to afford them the neces-
sary quantity Of nourishment from the
matter contained in it, but the interest
displayed in the short lived little trees
is we'll worth the trouble of experiment.

Pneumatic Tires.

Most people imagine that pneumatic
tires are novelties of recent invention,
and yet they were actually used on Eng
lish roads nearly so years ago. We read
that ''at the Bath and west Of England
agricultural show, held at Guilford, a
couple of carriage wheels were shown
fitted with pneumatic tires. These were
made by May & Jacobs for the Duke Of
Northumberland AZ years ago, but the
carriage proving too heavy for the horse

PROTECTION OF IRON COLUMNS.

Bricks In Portland Cement Successfully
Withstand Fire.
Some experiments were recently made
by the building inspection department.
Vienna, on the protection Of iron from
fire by casing it with brick A wrought
iron column 12 feet long and built OF
two channels connected by lattice bars
was used This was set up in small
chamber constructed of brick, and the
column was loaded by levers. This
done, it was surrounded by 4 % inch
brick wall laid in fire lay mortar. The
wall did not fit closely around the col
umn, and advantage was AIKEN Of this
to fix there samples of fusible metals,
which should serve as gauge of the
temperature attained.
Various samples of stone ouucrete and
other materials were also placed in the
chamber within the column. This cham
ber was then filled with split firewood,
which was lighted. and the doors i'm.
mediately walled up with slabs OF plas-
ter of paris After the fire had broken
out the doors were broken in and a
stream of water turned into the room
from ii horsepower fire engine An
examination of the room next showed
that the walls Of brick, laid in portland
cement, retained their strength, while
most Of the material stone left in the
chamber had been destroyed. The CELL
ing had been lined partly with plaster
of paris and partly with terra Gotta
tiles Roth were damaped The inclO-
sure around the iron pillars was still
standing firm, though corners Of the
brickwork were clipped one inch or SO,
and the fire clay mortar was largely
washed out of the joints On removing
the casing, however, the pillar was
found to be uninjured, even the paint
being unscorched, and the fusible plugs
only showed temperature of 149 de-
