Florida is said to be rapidly re-
covering from the great freeze of
1895, when most of the orange
trees were killed, but complete re-
cocery cannot be had until about
three years from now. The orang @
freeze is much more disastrous
tn an the destruction of a grain
crop. The latter can be sown
again next season, but a frozen
orange tree must be started anew.
It is greatly to the credit OF the

NO MORE WAR.

Medical science is kept busy by
the inventions for taking human
life. In recent years the latter
have produced some terrible ex-
plosives, bullets which rend and
tear when they strike the human
frame, making what heretofore was
a durable wound certain death.
The latest war gun is the product
of a French engineer and is rife
which contains steel cartridye the
size of mans thumb. This coll
tains 500 bullets which eau be shot
as rapidly or slowly as is desired.
The whole contents costfn5 only
2 cents. There is no smoke or
flash and only low report. The
gun itself is much lighter than the
ordinary rife and the projectil+
force is furnished by liquefed air
at pressure hundreds Of degrees
below zero, no powder bring re-

one Of the most important features
of future wars, but it now seems as
