DYSPEPTIC ORANGE TREES.

A mysterious disease which has at
tackled many orange trees in Florida
has been discovered to be Indigestion.
The department of agriculture in its
Year BOOK" pays special attention to
dyspeptic and describes the disease and
its cure. It's cause is the same as that
which 50 often brings on disease in hu-
man beings-ovcrfeedng. Excessive
cultivation and too much nitrogenous
manure affect the orange tree just as
too much heavy table d'hote dinners af-
feet man. Instead of looking pale and
taking pepsin tablets, however, the or
ange trees turn Il very dark green and
Il reddish brown sap eXudes from the
twigs. The tips turn up and shape them
selves into S-like curves. The fruit
turns a lemon yellow color before it is
half ripe. and has a very thick rind.
AS it ripens the fruit splits open and be-
comes worthless. The reddish brown
resin gets on the fruit before it is ripe
and renders it unstable.

There Are Half Dozen Of the OLD

II is gratifying to find that at least
half dozen, and probably more, of the

are still in good condition and can be
put in first class fighting trim at small
cost and without much delay. Nine OF
these vessels. the Nahant. Jason, CanOni-

Montauk, Catskill and I4ehigh, which
are now at the League Island Navy Yard
were recently examined by a board Of

their exact condition. and the report OF
the board is 10 the effect that the ma
iority of them can be made efficient.
