INTERESTING FACTS.

An ingenious Scotchman has devised
q thresd-spinning apparatus that is
operated by two trained mice. In
driving the little mill with their paws
the animals daily perform work equiv
alent to travelling ten and One-half
miles.
When a prince of the Austrian royal
family dies his horses follow the fu-
neral covered with a black cloth and
lame in one hoof. The lsmeness is
produced by driving O nail through
the horseshoe. This is the sign Of the
deepest possible mourning.
In London alone there are upwards
of TIA pianoforte factories. Over / 800
shops and factories in the metropolis
are devoted to the supplying of must
cal goods of all sorts. Throughout the
provinces there are 5000 musical es-
Establishments of various kinds.
The Arizona Indians have a peculiar
and effective way Of branding animals.
The brand is made of steel with a
knife edge. 1t is fixed on the head of
an arrow aud shot with bow at the
animal to be branded, with such force
that it cuts the mark in the hide.
The keys that are used the most for
musical composition are O major, G
major, containing one sharp, and F
major, containing one fiat, the reason
being that these keys are easier to play
on keyed instruments, such as piano
or organ, and because keys with few
sharps or fats are better adapted for
instruments in an orchestra.

Cannons Made Of Stone.

The most wonderful cannons on rec

Brydone, whose travels in Sicily and
Malta won well-deserved reDown to.
wards the end of the last century.
Many facts and stories he recounts
that seem.strangely Old-world to us,
though the date Is little more than a
hundred years ago, so grandly did the
French revolution transform Europe.
Malta was full of wonders moro OF
less droll while the knights held it.
But nothing equslled the stone guns.
Everybody knows th6t the fortifica
lions were cut out of the solid rock,
but Brydone wns right in saying that
q kind of ordinance used to defend
them was unknown to all the world
besides.
Aswe understand his description,
the knights left great block of stone
where they followed out an embrasure
in the cliff, which afterwards they
shaped and bored in the form of q
gigantic mortar. These engines con-
tanned o whole barrel of gunpowder.
That shoveled in, they plugged it with
q great pieco OF wood, fitted exactly to
the bore, as WnddiDg, and loaded up
with cannon balls, shells and other
deadly materials.
About fifty of these remarkable
guns commanded the spots which a
hostile ship was most likely TO ap-
proach. ''The mouths of some are
six feet wide, and they are able to
throw 10000 pounds weight of balls
or stones" The range is not stated,
but the falling proiectiles covered an
area Of the over 300 square yards.

The North Sea Canal.

most interesting and important
event will be the opening of the Baltic
and North Sea Canal, on June 20, by
Emperor William in the presence Of
the highest dignitaries Of Germany and
representatives of other countries.
The principal nations will also be rep
resented by men-of-war. The Ham
burg-American line will join in the
naval parade with two of their twin
screw express steamers, the Augusta
Victoria and the Normannia. The Ca
nal, which WAS begun early in 1891 by
the German emperor, starts at Hate
nan, on the north side of Kiel Bay,
and joins the Elbe at Brunsbuttel, be-
low Hamburg, fifteen miles above the
rivers mouth. 1t is 81 miles long,
200 feet wide at the surface, and IS
feet at bottom, the depth being %
feet. The cost is estimated at $40,-
900, 900.
1t is expected that about $4,000
ships will make use of the canal an
nuslly. The saving of time will be
considerable, but more important than
the saving in time is the avoidance of
danger, the passage through the sound
between the Scandinavian Peninsula
and Jutland being considered one of
the most dangerous in Europe. Sta
tisti0s show that about 200 vessels
founder every year on these coasts.
The strategic value of the canal to
Germany will also be considerable. -

His appeal was forcible and most

Nine Styles In . Century.

Though the fashion in wonsn's
dress has changed q hundred times in
q hundred years." said q young lady
OF observation TO o writer for the New
!ork Sun, ut has been q change OF
detail rather than Of style, while of
changes OF costume, that is, OF dress
which can be said to mark q historical
epoch, there have been but two. Sim
ilariy in mems clothing there has been
but one radical change of costume
during the century-that from the
oreeches to the trousers, with the in
terregnum of the pautaloons. The
change in woman's attire, which was
sufhciently radical to be called a
change Of costume, occurred in 1890.
when the classical renaissance, with
It's lmmodes.y, it's single garment, and
Its waist under the shoulders, went out,
and woman became the bodied and
Petticosted creature that you know her
today.
"Of styles as l understood the term.
that is, changes Of distinctive fashion
In woman's garb, there have only been
nine during the past 100 years, which
think is greatly to her credit. What
are they? Well, that's rather hard
question to answer. Let me see, now:
From 1875 to 1919 or 1920 was the
era of the short waist.
"From 1920 to 1925 were the DAYS
OF the middle waist, short dress, no
sleeves below the shoulders, or elbows
at the fsrthest, and natural shoulders.
"From 1925 to 1885 there was dis
tlnctly markedspell of broad shoulders,
big sleeves and bell skirts. In fact
our present fashions have been consid-
ersbly based on that decade.
From 1885 to 1843 there were
sloplng shoulders and big full skirts.
From 1843 to 1865 there was the
reign of the crinoline, the longest rule
Of fashion that ever prevailed, 1
guess.
From 1865 to 1882 was O period of
evolution. The train grew into being,
the skirts shrauk little by little, grow
ing simmer and simmer, until the
outlines Of the figure were once more
revealed.
From 1882 to 1887 was the period
OF the bustle-iust that.
From 1887 to 1892 was the fashion
OF the paniers and princesse dress.
with 1892 came in the re-establish-
ment OF big sleeves, and I'm sure that
you'll agree with me that there never
was style so fetching as that with
which we make ourselves beautiful for
you today. But that's popularity
OF all fashion. That which is worn is
the fashion, and that which is the
fashion is SO becoming that We won
der when We think how We ever could
have worn anything else."

The Freeze In Louisiana.

The condition of things in Louisiana
is thus reported by correspondent of
the Southern Florist:
While much damage was done to the
small truck farmers in this portion of
Louisiana, We have also learned some
valuable lessons. According to the
weather reports, the thermometer fell
ten degrees lower at Tampa, Fla,
than at New Orleans, and about two
degrees lower in the vicinity of Ham
mond than at New Orleans.
Crops on low land suffered the most,
while those on higher and apparently
more exposed ground escaped with but
little injury. Common sweet oranges,
as is usually the case when hard
freeze comes, were badly cut down,
but the Satsuma or Oonshin oranges
came through almost unscathed, no
injury being done except where they
stood in very low and exposed places,
or where the trees had begun putting
out new leaves during the very warm
days preceding the freeze.
predict that the proven hardness
of these pretty little trees will make a
regular boom in orange growing
throughout this section. I, for one,
shall experiment with the Mandarin
and other oranges on the trofOliats
stock, for it is we'll known that it is
the trofoliats stock on which the Sat
suma is budded that gives it its sturdy,
cold-resisting qualities, as when it is
grated or budded on sour stock it
does not stand the cold as we'll here as
the common sweet seedlings.
Strawberry growers in general are
rejoicing over the freeze, as they were
fearing that the warm days would start
the vines blooming too carly, but now
everything bids fair for an excellent
crop of Strawberries, ripeniDg just at
the right time for the 1895 shipping.
Fruit trees are all looking fine, so
that, aside from the damage done the
truck gardens, there has been no ap-
preciable injury done this part of the
state. AS small truck was mostly kill
ed all over the south, truck farmers
will realize about the same profits from
the crops now going IN as they would
from the earlier ones.

1t Stopped Right There.

The young man with the blue neck
tie and with seven freckles on his nose,
yanked the hotel register around and
wrote "R. L. Nubbins and wife" on

Then the clerk wheeled it back again,
and taking in the inscription, he look

''that you prefer one of the other

Mr.. Nubbins was q bit nettled.
"Say, young fellow" he asked,
"whst do you take me for, anyhow"
"Um-er," stammered the clerk.
"Well, 1 took you for a newly-mar-
ried man, and they always select the

Death of a Wonderful Woman With
a Wonderful History.

The death of Mrs. Susan L'Engle,
which occurred at Jacksonville few
days ago, takes away one who has long
been intimately associated with the
makers of the history of East Florida.
Born on the banks of the st. Johns
river, nearly ninety years ago, Mrs.
L'Engle has seen the state develop
from a wilderness to its present impor-
lance.
With wonderfully receptive and
retentive memory, there was nothing
bearing upon the history of the state
upon which she WAS not informed.
In 1771 her grandfather, Francis
Philip Fatio, Esq, q retired officer of
the Swiss army, residing in England,
obtained large grants of land III Flor
ida, to which country he then removed
with his family. He established his
principal residence in st. Augustine.
his plantation being at New Switzer-
land, on the st. Johns river, near
Remington Park, where ha died in
1911. Her father, Francis Philip
Fatio, Jr., was educated IL England,
and entered the British army at IN
early age, becoming O captain in the
celebrated SiXtieth regiment, in which
he served during the Revolutionary
war. His fathers health becoming
impaired, Captain Fatio resigned his
commission and undertook the man
agement Of the plantations in Florida.
He married there, in 1902, Miss Mary
Ledbetter, daughter of Col. Drury
Ledbetter, of Virginia, their second
daughter, Susan, was born September
16, 1906.
The early years of Mrs. Susan LEN
giles life we're passed with her parents
and grandparents, at their homes in
st. Augustine and New Switzerland,
during the stirring times of the war of
1912 and the years preceding the pur
chase of Florida by the United States.
In 1872, while the family were living
at New Switzerland, the house was at
tackled by band of Seminole Indians,
the family barely escaping with their
lives. Taking refuge in st. Marys,
Ga, Captain Fatio afterwards resided
in that place and in Fernandina until
1918 when he removed to his plants-
ton on Pablo creek, few miles north
of the point where that stream is cross
ed by the Jacksonville and Atlantic
railroad. The family returned in 1921
to New Switzerland of which place and
in st. Augustine they remained until
the death of Captain Fatio, in 1881.
Mrs. L'Engle married in 1880 Lieu
tenant afterwards captain) John
L'Engle, of the Third United States
Artillery, and for several years resided
successfully in st. Augustine and
Charleston, s. c., at which places her
husband was stationed. In 1889 Cap
tain L'Engle resigned from the army
and shortly after settled in Jackson
vile, where his family has since resid-
ed. Captain L'Engle died in 1854,
and Mrs. Susan L'Engle has since
lived with her daughter, Mrs. L. 1.
