Here's something that may save your

bull charges, just before the final lurch he
shuts his eyes, and if you have the pres

is about two or three feet from you all
you have TO do - to step aside and he
misses you. Any child with sufficient
presence of mind to do this can let IA bull
charge all day with perfect safety. This

PROGRESS OF SCIENCE.

AS the curtain is about to be rung down
on the last act of the nineteenth century
the scientists of the world appear to be striv-
ing to crown new and more important dis
coveries into 'play," and the indications
now point to brilliant finale-an eloquent
procreation. as it were, to most remarka-
BILE age and period.
The strides made by science during the
last half of the now closing century have
about kept pace with the developments in
the world of applied mechanics. The life
of the mechanical inventor has been busy
one, and his achievements, while not viewed
with the same degree of establishment as
the discoveries of his co-laborer, the scien,
tist are worthy of the highest praise.
In resume of the march of science dur
ing the past century the Scientific Ameri
can says that the representative of science of
this century have good reasons to be proud
of the legacy they will leave to succeeding
ages. The last century saw the infancy OF

BURR COTTON.

State Senator J. L. Gaskins of Bradford
county is quoted by the Kissimmee Leader
as writing to correspondent in Osceola
county as follows:
The cotton planted in this community is
commonly called Burr. It produces more
pounds per acre, and makes more pounds
of lint for given number pounds of seed;
the staple is of average length required by
the spinners. and the fiber is very fine and
bright color. 1t is not the finest grade,
but meets the purchasers (spinners) de-
mands. and pays us we'll.
Our assessed values in the county this
year have run 500, 900 more than last year
before the freeze) and it's our prosperity
caused from cotton growing. Our county
was meyer more prosperous. and farmers
with more money. There is an active de-
mand for all our cotton seed for making
oil. and they are shipped about as fast as
ginned from lint. The price of seed is from
rs cents to ST..
The latter price will get you such seed as
will make you the best kind of cotton we
grow; would advise them to you. am a
little anxious to see the outcome Of grow.
ing cotton as far south as your locality.
My opinion is that you will grow Longer,
and finer staple than we do. from the fact
that you will have longer season. Cotton
planted early does much better, because
the boil has longer to mature the staple be-
fore it opens.

the steam engine, the isolation of oxygen
gas and few other substances in the field
of chemistry, and this was the total legacy
Of this century from that of the one pre-
ceding. During the present era the can
dies and oil lamps of the past have given
place to the electric light. and FRACTIONAL
electricity has attained its highest develop
ment. Railroads and steam boats will be
among the many important legacies to
Prosperity.
AS the latest marvel of the scientific
world, records our scientific contemporary,
is new discovery which makes it possible
to reproduce the image of an object through
Opaque screens by hitherto unknown rays.
This discovery is credited to Prof. Roentgen.
and in absence of a better name the dis
covery is known as Roentgen's X rays
photography.
This discovery opens broad field to the
invest gator. The peculiar rays. produced
by the electrical excitation of vacuum
tube. make Opaque substances transparent,
and it is possible by the application of
these rays in connection with the ordinary
sensitive Photographic plate. to photograph
substances through Opaque screens. For
instance the bones of the body can be
photographed through all the intervening
coverings of flesh, tissue, blood, etc. OBJ
jects placed in receptacles of wood. leather.
metal and in fact of nearly any kind of
substance can be photographed as plainly
as if they were exposed to the bright light
of day. In surgery the discovery will be
of unnameable advantage. The operator
by bringing the mysterious x rays to his
assistance will be enabled to locate the for
eign matter to be removed from the anat-
omy, or he can locate the difficulty and de-
termine with exactness the nature of the
trouble and the operation or treatment
necessary.
From present indications it seems that
the world will owe greater debt to Prof.
Roentgen for his marvellous discovery than
to any other man. Time, research and
experiment alone can determine the extent
of the debt.

FROST WARNINGS.

The action of the F. C. & P. R'y. Co..
in arranging to give frost warnings to the
vegetable growers and farmers along the
line of its road by means of the locomotive
whistle, is to be commended and we trust
the example thus set will be followed by
other Florida railroads. The following
circular has been issued. which will be of
interest to many of our readers:
In order to forewarn fruit and vegetable
growers along the central and southern
divisions that cold waves likely to produce
frost are approaching. this company has
arranged with the United States weather
bureau to obtain advance information of
probable fall in temperature. and to com.
municate the same by signal from the en-
CINE whistle of passing trains.
The signal will be given by the whistle
sounding six (6) long blasts, requiring 80
seconds five seconds to the BLAST and will
be repeated at intervals of every three
miles. 1t is intended to give this warning
IL to "a hours in advance, and the sound
ing of the whistle in the above manner will
indicate forecast of frost the first or Sec
ond night thereafter.
You are directed to circulate this infor-
nation through all possible channels to
reach the public Post one copy of this
notice at the postofice, and request the
newspaper nearest you to give it prominent
publication.
