A FREAK OF NATURE.
The Navel Orange and How 1t Came to
This Country.


The first navel Grange was doubtless
a freak or sport, as horticulturists
say. To make such fruit by artifice
would be impossible. 1t is abnormal
even in the bud The navel shows in the
Ind as early as the latter can be ex-
amined under the microscope. 1t may
even be traced back to the flower, which
is double-though that word does not
express the idea very we'll, each blossom
having a secondary blossom within it.
In the developed fruit the navel is itself
a secondary orange, in some specimens
having distinct slim surrounding it.
The two story orange is no novelty.
A book on horticulture published in
1912 gives picture of the navel orange
and calls it ''pOmum Adami fptum. y
This is the earliest reference known.
The blossoms rarely have any pollen, and
the fruit is usually, though not always,
seedless The variety is reproduced by
budding. Where it originated is not
kroun with certainty but it was prob
ably IN southern Asia. Thence it was
brought to the region of the Mediterra-
mean and eventually diffused over the
world A lady who had travelled i'll
Brazil told Mr.. Saunders, chief gardener
Of the department of agriculture, about
the orange, which she had seen in that
country Acting on this information,
Mr. Saunders told Il Star reporter that
he sent to Bahia and secured dozen
Young budded trees. These reached the
United States i'll 1870, being the first
navel orange trees known here.
From these trees others were propa-
gated One of the first batch thus OBJ
tanned is now in the orange house of the
department of agriculture. In 1878 two
of the trees were sent to Mrs. L. G. Tib-
bets Of Riverside, Cal AT the same time
others were sent to Florida. But those
plantedin California fruited more quick
IL and We're the first to attract attention.
1t soon became evident that the climate
of that state was better suited to the
cultivation Of this variety. In Florida it
is not sufficiently productive-i e., does
not bear freely enough TO he profitable.
Nevertheless the finest navel oranges
come from Florida, though they are not
SO handsome as those from California

SHOT FROM AMBUSH.
A Georgian Slain as he Drove
Along the Road

Captain Geo. B. Berry, of the
Efingham Hussars, a company
of the First Regiment Georgia
Cavalry, was assassinated Satur-
day last while On his way from
Savannah, Ca, to his home in
Effngham county, about 80
miles west Of Savannah. His
body was found lying il the road
about s miles from the city. His
head had been blown nearly off
by a load of buckshot. The
body was found by a party of
men which had stopped Berry S
horse and buggy several miles
from where the tragedy occurred.
Berry was riding in a buggy,
when, it is supposed, two ne
groes, concealed by the roadside,
fired On him. Berry reached for
his pistol at the bottom of his
buggy, but a second shot from
the assassi11s tore away part of
his head, and he.fell headlong to
the ground. The blood spatter-
ed over the buggy, and it was
this which led to the search by
the party which stopped the
horse. Officers are On the track
of the assassins, and it is be-
lieved they will be arrested in a
short time. The motive for the
killing is supposed to have been
robbery.

FOR THE SUBMARINE BOAT.
HER OFFICERS AND CREW WILL
PROBABLY BE DRAWN FROM
VOLUNTEERS.

With the approach of the ace
ceptance of the submarine boat
which is being built at Balti =
more by New York concern for
the navy, there is much gossip p
regarding the method of details
ing the officers and crew for
such a craft. The boat is unlike
anything which has hitherto
been constructed for the service,
and despite the notable expert
opinion which favored the build
ing of the boat, and notwith-
standing the successful practical
tests of similar craft abroad there
IS III the navy decided doubt as
to the value Of the submarine
torpedo boat and an unwilling
mess to accept duty OH board such
a ship.
No details will be made, of
course, until the contractor; de-
nonstrate the ability of the
structure to accomplish all that
is required of it, and even then
1t will be a long time; before
many people ale possessed of
sufficient confidence to go be-
meath the surface Of the sea in a
sealed she'll of metal, with moth
ing but artificial ventilation to
sustain them. Undoubtedly the
will call for vO11ln-
teers when the boat is to be Of

FAITH LED HIM TO DEATH.
RELIGIOUS FANATIC TRIED TO
WALK ON THE WATER AND
WAS DROWNED NEAR
DEFIANCE, OHIO.

Chas. Gosler. 4 religious fa-
natic of Evansville, Ohio, met
death near Defiance, Ohio, in a
tragic manner. while attempting
to walk upon the water III order
to demonstrate that his faith was
equal to that of the Saviour.
Gesler was a young man of
the Oest of habits and good char
acter, and was an ardent support
er OF the doctrine of the Seventh
Day Adventists. He recently
became somewhat unbalanced in
mind. He was married last
week 10 young woman OF
Evansport, and since that time
had spent all his leisure mos
nents reading the Bible.
He Was at work for a neighbor
when, with one companion, he
started for dinner. When they
reached the dam at the Titan
River he said he would cross
on the water, as his faith was
sufficient. He spent some mo-
ments in praying and singing
hymns and then boldly started
on the water.
Some boys who saw him say |
he appeared to walk all right for
several steps, when suddenly he
began to founder about, finally
sinking from sight, singing as
he went down Life was ex-
tinct when the body was re-
Great crowds have been at
tracted by the tragedy, and some
feeling is noticeable against the
of that faith in the
community.

BIGGEST OF ALL HOGS.

4 hog Of wonderful dimensions
has turned up in MontiveIlo

ton almost equal those of an
elephant.
The hog originally sold for
$3.50, but now the owner scorns
All offer of $4,000 for it. Alu
scum managers all over the coun-
try have offered to purchase it,
but the owner is waiting until it
shall have reached its limit of
height. when he thinks its value
will be doubled.
The hog weighs 1880 pounds,
is 8 feet 3 inches in length and
4 feet inch high. 1t measures
s feet around its body. It's feet
are of the size Of an ordinary OK.
1t eats from 40 to 50 ears of
corn every day. The pen in
which the pig is kept is always
by a crowd, many
people watching the phenome-
ION for hours.
The animal is the pride of the I
1eighborhood, and the first story |

DYING LIKE SHEEP.
Colored Colonists in Liberia are
Starving, Naked and
Diseased.

The steamship Waesland
which arrived at Philadelphia
this week from Liverpool,
brought back six of the colored
colonists who went out to Liberia
early in the spring on board the
famous steamship Laulada. They
tell Of horrible tales of suferings
from disease and destitution by
the unfortunate people who gave
up their homes in this country
to journey to that distant repub-
lie to accept what appears to be
liberal offers there.
Forty members of the Laurada
expedition, consisting of 315
people, are already dead, while
the entire number taken out pre-
viously OH the Danish steamship
Horss have been carried off by
what is known as John Bull
fever.
The men say that those who
went on the Laurada are now
penniless and almost naked.
They have not sufficient money
to come back, and certain death
awaits them. Several times thew
called on the President of the
Republican State for help, but
he gave them none.
When the expedition was
made up ii was represented that
each married man would be
given a plot of ground and a
house. and other grants were to
be given the single men.
