trees and marking on them with
gauger's tools the range, township and
section numbers. The surveyor en-
ployed by the Florida Land & Lum-
Der company of Volusia county, Fla,
recently, during the course of an ex-
animation of the lands of the com
pany, split up a cypress tree in search
of such corner marks. The AK sep
arated the chip, Of which the above is
a picture, and disclosed on the trunk
of the tree the marks for which he
searched. The marks, ''R. 80, 7. IA, S.
SO" appear in bas-relief on the concave
side of the slab, OIL chip, and are as dis
tinct as the original marks were when
the surveyor made them on the trunk
of the tree over sixty years ago. Every
feature of the matrix is distinctly re-
produced.
The land company's surveyor sent
the following explanatory letter with
the chip:
This curiosity is a chip cut off a
cypress tree standing ear the south.
west corner of section SO, township IA,
range 80. These marks Of the section,
range and township numbers were cut
into the tree by the United States gov
eminent surveyor in 1884, and the new
growth of the tree covered up and
grew over the marks, taking the re-
verse impression of the marks yet re-
naming on the tree. The chip vas
split off by me while examining the
lands of the Florida Land & Lumber
company. By reference to the map
you will see that this corner is in the
edge of a cypress swamp. Many such
marks were found by me, and this is
n of the many proofs of the accuracy
of my survey"
The specimen will be sent by the
owners to the New York Museum of
Natural History.

tered parliament in 1865 for Warwick,
and has represented that borough since
then. After the dissolution of 1856 he
was proposed us speaker by Lord Ran
dOlph Churchill, and seconded by Mr..
Gladstone. Mr.. Peel is accounted the
strongest speaker since the late Lord
Eversley. He had a remarkable con-
troll over the house, and restored order
in many of the turbulent debates of re-
cent years. The salary of the speaker
is twenty-five thousand dollars annual
ly, with an official residence, and the
post is considered n of high social as
well as political distinction. Mr.. Peel
has been offered a peerage. 1t will be
remembered hat this honor was de-
clined by his father, who also left the
expression of his wish that neither his
widow nor his heir should accept any
such distinction

fiorlua cypress swamp.
One of the great difficulties that sur

low the lines of old surveys is the
disappearance of old landmarks. This
may occur from the heedlessness of
mar or the forces of nature. An ex-
ample of the latter is shown in the ac-

degree of accuracy the perfect stereo-
tipping that nature is capable of execut-
ing, though she takes years to accom-

stat.sticians In France.
Those who are so deeply concerned
about the tardy increase of the French
population will not be able TO extract
much comfort from the sC0 RACES of
statistics just issued 10y the { fiicc du
Travail, in which the re ults OF the
census OF 1901 arc ably and carefully
summarized, says the Westminster
Gazette. In the five years from So
10 1891 the total population OF nearly
sO,OOC,OO0 has increased by only PA.
:Si This i ike smallest increase dur.
ing any similar period since the be lin.
ming OF the century. Its igniGcance
will be cen when il is compared with
the increase OF 6i5,037 in the wears
1876 81. and that of SO2.Si in 1872 76
But the manrer in which the repar

IN ire depressing. Not only has the
population rema ned almost station

Is that there seem II be absolutely no

nothing but an aggravation of the ma

w1NrEn1NG IDLE nonsrs.

On most farms there is not enough
work during the winter season to keep
constantly employed half the number
of teams kept busy during seed time
and harvest. Many farmers think it
economical to winter the idle horses
at the straw stack, but such economy
is more imaginary than real. Ifthese
horses had their shoes removed and
were allowed to run loose in twelve
by fourteen ground floor box-stall and
fed n less qautity of straw than they
eat and trample under foot in the
open yard, their condition would be
fur better at the opening of spring.
1t should also be remembered that
only young horses whose digestion is
good and that are known to be easy
keepers, can be successfully wintered
on straw alone. Oats NJ the natural
food of the horse and should be fed
during enforced idleness rather than
grain or meal of moro stimulating
nature. If kent in q stable they should
have new bedding rs needed, and be
curry-combed and brushed daily
whether they are stabbed or in the
open air. A feed of potatoes, carrots,
turnips, beets, or apples should be
given weekly. Such food is fully
worth the market price for feeding to
horses in winter. American Agricul-
