ACCIDENT ON THE MONTEREY,

Feedpipe Bursts and Six Men Are
Badly Scalded.
An accident occurred in the fireroom of
the United States coast defense vessel
Monterey during her trip from Mare Island
to Sausalito at II o'clock yesterday morn
ing, in which Past Assistant Engineer
Emil Thesis, U. S. N, Machinist Powell
and Firemen Lee, Carlson and Hayes were
badly scalded.
The vessel was off San Quentin, and
while making circle with a starboard
helm for the purpose of testing the. steer
ing gear, the main 3-inch feedpipe of the
after port Ward boiler burst and in an in
slant the tireroom was full of steam and
the temperature at 200 degrees. The yes
sci was going thirteen knots, with 133 revo-
lutions of the propellers and under 100
pounds of steam.
Past Assistant Engineer Thesis immedi-
ately sprang into the freroom and, CROP
ing around in the dark, succeeded in shut
ting off the great stream of hot water that
was gushing from hole fourteen inch es
long in the pipe. During the operation he
fell at full length in the boiling water that
lay a foot deep on the iron floor and Sc
verely scalded himself on the arms, shout
ders and chest.
Machinist Powell, who was assisting the
OulCcI, was diSO SCttiuCQ Ou tuc leu,
arms and legs, and the other three men in
different parts of their bodies.
Engineer Thesis, who so courageously
manipulated the valves, cocks, etc., and
in consequence saved the entire force
of firemen on watch from being
scalded by the hot steam and water that
was rapidly filling the place, was injured
so severely that he will be sent back to the
Naval Hospital at Mare Island. Machinist
Powell is one of the survivors of the naval
disaster at Apia, Samoa, several years ago.
He was serving on board of the Nipsic when
she went ashore with the American and
German war vessels during the great
cyclone.

Some Economic Plants.

The climate and soil of Florida furnish
the requisite conditions for the successful
growth of an extended list of plants of util-
itarian value. All of them are interesting
from an economic standpoint while many
of them are so beautiful IN leaf, form, flower
or fruit, as to readily gain for them con-
spicuous place among the class of strictly
ornamentals. The important position
which this class of plants should occupy
about our Florida homes. and the fact that
heir appearance and habits are little

La France Roses.
bunch of La France roses, full b own,
half blown and in the bud-will call forth
ordinations of delight from almost every
one. You breathe their delicious fragrance
and drink in their exquisite beauty at the
same time.
No other rose appears to possess the fra
GRANGE that belongs TO La France. A
plant bearing one or two of these roses will
perfume the air for some distance And as
you approach the plant the blooms will ap-
pear to bend toward you, as if to lend a
sympathetic ear. They almost say: I'm
burden your cares at our shrine. Our
mission is to comfort and cheer, to beautify
and sweeten."
A La France rose makes its presence re-
allied wherever placed. In bouquet of
Gen. Jacqueminots mingle two or three

In the center of your rosary planta group

two or three rows of La France roses, and

roses says successful builder, las they
always get the 'die-back'" Now, if he
was not successful builder, and grew his
La France on their own roots, they would
prove success.
Plant one of each, side by side, give
them the same treatment, and the one on
/. its own roots will produce finer blooms,
and at the same time outdistance the budded
one. Perhaps the budding stock generally
used is not congenial.
This rose is universal favorite. It is
the embodiment of grace and elegance, re-
fnement and beauty, while at heart it is a
perfect gormand. 1t is not at all fastidious
in its taste, but will consume any amount
of available plant food Well decomposed
fertilizer from the COW yard meets its re-
quirements exactly, and also from the
horse stable. 1t will greedily consume
ashes, SCOT, leaf mold, decayed chip dirt,
ground bones, soap suds. tea and coffee
grounds and anything more that comes in
its way.
1t must have all the water it needs, which
is great deal. A mulching of lawn cut
tings will also assist in its perfect develop
ment. In course of time the grass will de-
cay and be eagerly devoured by our queen.

The Cinnamon tree (Cinnamomum Zey-
lanicum) is closely allied to the Camphor
and thrives here equally we'll under the
same conditions and treatment. 1t is the
bark from the young shoots of this tree.
which forms the cinnamon of commerce,
and the leaves yield fragrant oil. The
product is of immense value, selling for
millions of dollars annually, and the de-
mand constantly increasing. Widespread
interest is. being manifested through the
West Indies in this tree, and it is perhaps
destined to be one of the leading economic
plants grown in Florida. Where grown for
profit the trees are planted about ten feet
apart each way and cultivated for three
years. At the end of that period if the
trees have made satisfactory growth and
they will thrive in very poof soil-they are
cut to the ground and the bark by simple
process stripped from the branches. The
stocks sprout like Willow, and succeeding
years supply better bark from the rank
water sprouts.
An economic plant which combines
beauty and interest in high degree is the
Chinese Rice paper tree (Aralia papyrifera. }
Although native to the shady swamps of
Formosa it thrives finely in the high, dry,
sandy soil of out door yards; but it does its
best in a moist, half shady spot. 1t is a
small tree growing to less than fifteen feet
in height, with trunk or stem from three
to five inches in diameter. It's canes-of
which several are frequently thrown up
from one root-vary in color according to
season, are soft and downy and clothed
with an abundance of large, striking, trop-
ical-looking leaves which resemble those
of the Ricinus or Castor Bean. When in
bloom it is superb and receives the admir-
ration of all who see it.
From the pith of this plant is made the
celebrated rice-paper and solah-hats. The
rice-paper is formed of thin slices of pith,
which is taken from the body of the tree
in beautiful cylinders several inches in
length. The Chinese workmen apply the
blade of sharp, straight knife to these
cylinders. and turning them around either
by rude machinery or by hand-in which
latter operation they display much skill
and dexterity-pare the pith from circum-
ference to center. This operation makes a
roll of extra quality paper, the scroll being
of equal thickness throughout After a
cylinder has thus been pared it is unrolled
and weights placed upon it until the sur
face is rendered uniformly smooth through
out its entire length. Rice paper making
may never become an industry in II e
United States. but the plant peri city
hardy and we'll adapted to thu s,iis and
conditions Of the entire peninsula portion
of Florida
The true Chinese Tea pant (Camellia
Thea) fourishes all over the State and pro-
duces good tea. 1t is beautiful evergreen
shrub covering itself with lovely single
white flowers, each with profusion of
golden-tipped stamens. The Liberian
Coffee (Coffea Liberica) and the Arabian
Coffee &c. Arabica) both thrive in South
Florida and produce excellent coffee. But

interesting of them the subject of this
paper
Probably very few who purchase the ar
rowroot of commerce have the slightest idea
of the appearance of the plant from which
this nutritious starch is obtained. Botan-
ically the plant is Maranta arundinacea
and closely allied to the ornamental Maran-
tas common in choice dollhouse and con-
servatory collections. The starch is OBJ
tanned from the tubors which are very freely
produced even on poor soil. yielding at the
rate Of from 200 to 900 bushels on such in
different soil as our pineland. 1t forms
age from two to three feet high, the leaves
of a very deep, dark shade of green, sur
mounted by pretty small white flowers
But its most ornamental features lies in its
foliage, which is quite distinctive and trop-
ical in appearance. 1t makes avery pleas
ing window plant at the North, being very
effective among other pot plants, and may
be successfully grown by anyone as it does
not demand an extra degree of heat to
bring it to perfection. as do most of the
strictly ornamental Marantas. The term
Arrowroot is said to be derived from the
fact that the Indians of the countries of
which the plant is native, used the roots as
an application to wounds inflicted by poi
soned arrows. 1t is also known as Aru-
root and AruAru. the latter being the
Brazilian word for -four, according to
Martius
The mention of arrowroot suggests an
other equally we'll known commercial
product, tapioca and of which the average
user doubtless has no more idea of the
plant producing it than he has of the arrow
root. Tapioca is obtained from plants
known variously as Cassava. Mandioca and
Macacheira, species of the genus Manihot,
There are two species IN. Aipi and M.
utilissima,) known respectively as Sweet
Cassava or Sweet Mandioca. and Bitter
Cassava or Bitter Mandioca, from which
the product is obtainable, but the bulk is
prepared from the Bitter Cassava I'M.
utilissima.) The roots of this species con-
tain deadly poison which is expelled
through pressure and heat leaving harm
less and nutritious starch.
In Florida only the Sweet Cassava (M
AipI is cultivated, and it is known here
simply as Cassava. 1t has large roots,
snowy white within and covered with a
reddish bark. They are harmless and
may be used as culinary esculent with
out any preparation further than boiling
1t is very ornamental plant, distinctively
tropical in appearance and sure to arrest
the attention of all who see it for the first
time. It's brown, knotty stems are very
curious and bear very pretty leaves, con-
sisting Of from five to seven leaflets on pur
plish stems. A variety of fancy rustic ar
ticles--plapt boxes. trellises, etc., may be
fashioned from its curious stems.
The Camphor tree or Camphor Laurel
(Cinnamomum Camphora) of China and
Japan, from which the gum camphor of
commerce is obtained, fourishes here to
perfection. 1t is not cultivated from an
economic standpoint but as an ornamental
shade tree, of which it is one of the most
beautiful we have. 1t is evergreen and
hardy in most of the lower Gulf states.
