SAVING ORANGES WITH FIRES.
How California Fruit Growers Have &c
Work on cold Nights.

A Los Angeles correspondent writes:
For the second time this season the
orange growers of Southern California
are engaged in the task of warming
up all outdoors" in order to save their
crop of oranges. The orchardists OF
this season have already learned the
lesson which has cost Florida so dear,
and can meet without much loss tenn
peratures which would freeze stiff the
incomes of Florida growers.
1t has been necessary to determine
by much patient experiment just how
much cold an orange will stand. 1t
has been pretty we'll settled that as
the juice of moderately ripe orange
is 10 per cent. sugar it will not con.
geal above 90 degrees Fahrenheit.
Tests have shown that - degrees for
a period of two hours produced no in-
jury, presumably because of the oil in
the skin of the fruit. When cold
night is expected the orchardist simply
sits up with his thermometer, all night
if necessary, and If it drops to 2S de-
grees any time before four in tho
morning he hustles out his employees
and fires are lighted A.! over the
orchard. Sometimes wire baskets are
used, holding each ten pounds of soft
coal and supported on iron rods driven
into the ground. Others use buckets
of crude oil, and some build fires of
green pepper boughs, over which they
scatter fine manure. In one grove
thirty fires to the acre of pepper
boughs, straw and manure raised the
temperature six degrees and saved the
oranges. In another, where twenty
coal baskets to the acre were burned,
the temperature was raised four de-
grees, In one test buckets of crude
oil were set blazing three rows apart
all through big orchard, and the
temperature was raised five degrees,
so that not an orange was hurt. All
night long the thermometers and tho
fires must be watched constantly, and
the men taking care of an orchard
travel their beats increasingly, keeping
up the fires, making sure that each
gives out liberal quantity OF smoke
and seeing that the thermometer
does not show below the danger point.
The heavy smoke settles in thick,
uniform cloud over the trees and acts
as a sort Of blanket, holding down the
warmth given out by the fires and that
radiated by the earth.

bicycling Birds.

Members Of the feathered world
have proved apt pupils in cycling, and
there are at least two cockatoos
whose command of the bicycle is as
perfect as il is wonderful. One be.
longs to the Bellonis, the owners of a
very talented family OF birds, and, be.
sides ordinary riding, it gives an aerial
performance, riding a tight wire. The
other clever cockatoo was trained by
Mile. Irma Orbasono, and rides tri-
cycle. These birds use their beaks
for the purpose OF steering their ma
chimes and pedal with their claws

Disappearing River in Arizona.

"There is river out in our terri
tory called the Hassayampa, which is
typical of Arizona" said Mr.. j. C.
Adams, the mayor of Phoenix, Ari-
iona, and one of the most progressive
citizens of that lively town. "This
river will run along for few miles as
n broad, beautiful stream, and, mar
rowing suddenly, disappear through
the sands, only to crop up again few
miles further on and run along as plac-
idly and beautifully as well.regu-
lated stream should. There is legend
connected with this river that any one
who ever tastes Of its waters can never
afterward tell the truth The miners
In the country through which it flows
are called 'Hassayampas, and from
them come most Of the weird, wild
stories of adventure that people in the
east expect from Arizona, the erst-
while home of Alkali Ike and Cactus
Bill. This water can be bottled and
brought east, so that an Arizonian who
comes here on a mission can take q
small nip and then tell his friends
about Arizona. "-washington Post

POLITICS GALORE.
Outsiders Take q Hand in the Lake County
Scrap Kittredge Would Fuse Demo
Gratis and Republican, -DeWood
Tries to Bind Up the Sores Of
Democrats and Populists.

The stay OF two such noted politicians
as NJ. L. DeWoody OF Aberdeen aud A.
Is. K,ttredge Of Sioux Falls in the city
last night naturally awakens curiosity.
and 1t will not be out OF place to satisfy
this curiosity by saying that they were
here on political missions. The aroma
occasioned by the split between the local
democrats and populists was smelled by
Mr.. kittredge afar off end as the dlepen-
ser Of patronage and politics for the re-
publican party Of South Dakota at-once
became interested In the local situation
in Lake county with a view OF using 1t
to his own advantage. Hence his visit.
A poll OF the local republican leaders re-
vealed to Mr.. kittredge that they were
about equally divided on the proposition
OF endorsing the democratic nominee for
senator at the republican county con-
yention next Saturday. The democrats
OF course are understood to be willing,
but before the fusion can be accom-
plished, the rank aud file OF the republi-
a n as represented in convention will
have to be dealt with, and this at present
is a very uncertain factor. Mr.. Kit
redge don't ordinarily confe, with his
subordiuates. He issues peremptory or
ders. But fusing the democrats with
the republicans is q new thing and he Is
inclined TO 40 slow az the democrats
would not be wanted In his set unless
he could use them to his own persona
advantage rs he does the republicans.
Mr.. DeWoody on the other hard wat
trying to accomplish something in the
way OF compromising matters between
the democratic and populist parties o
the county in order that they NIGH
make common fight against the common
enemy. His interest in the state tickle
o~vershadowed any considerations for tn
local Legislative or county tickets, an'
he wanted sacrifice Of personal ambi
tions freely made on both sides that tn
remnant might be united in u ticket
This, however, did not seem to worn
and the matter stands in about the sam
condition as before Mr.. DeWoody'
visit. Mr.. DeWoody was also intereste'
in making arrangements tor Mrs. Lease
appointment to speak here next month
In the meantime L. 8. Tyler OF Siou
Falls made Q trip to Ramona and spok
to q large and appreoistive audience
dispensing some good populist doctrine
Mr.. Tyler will proceed to Flsndreau t.
morrow to continue his work in Mood
county.
