SCIENTIFIC NOTES.

LORD KELVIN holds that the internal
heat of the earth has nothing to do
with climates The earth, he says,
might be of the temperature of white
hos iron two thousand feet below the
surface, or at the freezing point fifty
feet below, without at all affecting a
climate.
A FRENCH railway has lately ar
ranged its telegraph lines SO that at a
prearranged signal the wires are
swiached from the telegraph instru-
ments to telephones, thus enabling the
operators either to talk verbally or to
communicate by the telegraphic code
at will.
COMMODORE MELVILLE, q. S. N, ex-
presses the opinion that not only speed
but maximum economy in fuel win be
attained through the use of the triple
screw in steamships, each acting indie
pehdently of the others, the center one
alone being used for slow cruising.
Other expert naval engineers concur in
this opinion.
REFEERINe to the decreased mortali-

Once upon time Young and Frisky
Mule wandered away from its Mothers
side toward Hive of Bees, which the
Farmer kept in order to procure Bees
wax for the children to chew on. OBJ
serving his Tendency to Investigate,
the Mother observed:
"Boy! You keep away from that
Locality! Bees and Mules never have
and never will Agree"
The Youngster pretended to Submit,
but at Favorable Opportunity he can
tered up for closer Investigation. He
got an ear full in about half Minute,
and had not the Farmer and his son
turned out to his Aid be would have
been Stung to death. AS it was he was
Badly used up by the Sharp and Re-
morseless StiDgs,and he was standing on
Three Legs, with his eyes closed, when
his Mother drew near and queried
"Did 1 not warn you against the
Bees?"
.'You did,"
''Then why didn't you Heed my
Words? told you that the Bees and
Mules did not Agree.n
$50 you did, but went over to the
Hive to ask them why it was"
MORAL:
Mules, always put confidence in your
Mother.

CYCLING PROVERBS.

PoL1TENEss is like pneumatic tire
as it eases many jolt in the journey OF
life.
THE world, like bicycle, would soon
come to a stop, if it were not for the
cranks
OR lives are like roads. Some are
smooth and even from beginning to end,
and some are all ups and downs.
A PLEASANT disposition, like the oil
in bicycle bearing, reduces friction
and prevents a world of wear and tear.

A MosoUITo ENTERMINAToR.
The Indian Medical Record
says that a Bombay newspaper
calls attention to the virtues OF
the castor oil plants as a means OF
protection against mosquitoes.
In Egypt it is planted about
houses to drive the insects away.
In towns better plan is to have
the young plants in pots, and
bring them into the house for a
day or two at a time, but they
must not be kept too long in the
shade, for the Palma Christi is a
sun loving plant. A writer is
cited as saying that the mosqui-
toes are killed by poison that
they find on the lower side of the
leaf, but it is stated that if dozen
leaves are placed about a room
that swarm with mosquitoes, they
will disappear without leaving any
dead ones lying about.-Rural

Cotton Advancing.

The Jerome Hill Cotton Co., OF
st. Louis, in its circular-letter OF
April 20, says:
Referring to the advance in cot
ton, Messrs. Smith, Edwards d
Co., one of the oldest and most
substantial cotton houses in Lii
verpool, in recent letter say:
THE improvement may be ira
ced almost entirely to the strength
of silver, an exceptional advance
having taken place recently. Ii
this improvement can be main
tanned, it is bound to have a most
important effect on Manchester
trade. The long looked-for de-
mand from India would set in,
and it is anticipated that other
Eastern countries would buy lar
gely."
Since the date of this letter,
April 3, silver has continued to
advance, and cotton has advanced
a half cent per pound, which on
the American crop would amount
to over S23,OOO,OOO.
We are pleased to see the ad-
vance in cotton and other products
of the country, but there is sad
side of the situation, for the poor
merchants and farmers in the in.

tened into selling their product
under five cents, when there wal
no cause for it, are to be pitied
They would never have had this
misfortune forced upon them bu
for the unnatural power given b!
the future DOdrQS.
That we are on the eve of bette
, times there can be no doubt. How
ever, there is one danger to tn
Southern producer ahead, and i
is this: If he fails to raise hi
own horses, mules, cattle, hog
and breadstuffs, no matter wha
> cotton sells for. he will come on
, in debt. He should take a lessor
from the present value of cattle

SILVER THE MONEY

Secretary Carlisle, in his speech
delivered at Covington, KY, an
nounced his position fatty in ia
vor of Sound money" which
means that he is opposed to the
free coinage of silver. His sound
money theory being gold, with
silver enough for small change.
The country demands the remoni-
tization of silver and wants it res
tored to its place in the fiscal sys-
tenn of the country, as the money
of the constitution. The Demo
cratic party will have to commit
itself to the free coinage of silver,
i'm spite of Cleveland, Carlisle and
other leaders of the party, or else
it is doomed to defeat in the next
Presidential campaign.
We also favor sound money
but we do not admire the single
gold standard. Let both be usec
at a ratio that will make ont
| worth as much as the other tn
world over as purchasing agent

 About two weeks ago an American schooner arrived at Guaymas from Puget Sound with forty car loads of lumber for Mlnas Prietas. 1t was brought to Torres early this week.

 The excellent prospects for the wheat crop in Sonora have been dissi- pated by unfayorable weather. The early wheat, sown in October was damaged by freeze. Some whose fields suffered put in mowers and cut the stalks. All such started agalnand bid fair to make good crops. The late sown wheat has suffered for want of rain iD March and April, and is now being cut for hay.
 Sunday of last week in the vicinity of "Cruz de Piedra, a party of ln- dians ambuscaded Senor Lamberto Camou and his mayordomo Trinidad Bojorquez Bojorquez was killed, two bullets entering his body, but Camou escaped without hurt by dint of hard riding. The Indians denuded the body of their victim of clothing, arms, etc., and carried away two mules and a horse. Colonel Torres with force of soldiers has gone in pursuit of the savages.

At present there is only a wagon road, and the change to an iron road would be most valuable improvement.
