yESUvIUS FIRES DYNAMITE
A Successful Test of the Dynamite
Cruisers Guns at Newport.

Newport, R. L, April 25.-The dynamite
cruiser Vesuvius promises to play an i'm
portant part in the expected hostilities; at
least that is the opinion of a prominent
naval officer here who has been watching
the tests of the vessel. He says that
the Vesuvius was not properly tested
originally and that one of her guns, the
port tube, was never fired. The utility of
the Vesuvius has been an unknown guam
tity, much SO that there has been talk
of taking her guns out and making tor
pedo boat out of her.
Recently she was sent here for series
of tests, which have been most thorough.
Besides relieving the crew from any I'M
eaSineSS to the safety of the vessel,
they have clearly illustrated that she will
be a terrible engine of destruction, and
could blow up the mines or torpedoes
planted in any harbor, leaving a clear
passage for fleet. The tests were con-
Guided today, when a service projectile
was fired from the port tube. Everything
went like clockwork.
After firing several dummies this morn
end of the official mile course and set her
danger flag. Suddenly there was a blast
from her whistle, followed by a shot from
each of her three guns in rapid succession.
Two of those shots were with dummy pro-
jectiles, but the third was with a service
kissing through the air, and after striking
the water appeared to bound back for a
short distance, and then there was up
heaval, the water rising $50 feet into the
air and spreading like an umbrella at it's
extreme elevation
The VeSuViuS fires projectileS of g. 8 and
10 inch diameter, with charges of 100, $50
and 200 pounds of gunco ton, with respect
i've ranges of two, one and a half and one
mile.

ARIZONA ORANGES.
Many Groves Being Planted This
Spring-Crop a Success.

Phoenix, April 25.-Arizona is enaged ia
growing oranges, and the crop promises
to be a source of considerable profit.
North of the city of Phoenix there is a
great hedge of orange trees bearing fruit,
and every year the product increases, and
some new locality of the United States is
reached by the Salt River valley orange.
The oranges, lemons, grape fruit and tan
gerines raised in the valley last year filled
$500 boxes.
This was an increase over the produc-
ton of 1896 by so per cent. It was not a
very favorable year for the fruit the
increase would have been much greater
The arrange harvest began somewhat later
this year than usual but the fruit brought
a good price. It was shipped to New
to the mining camps of Arizona.
There are 500 acres planted in oranges
in the Salt River valley thus far, and the
success which has attended the industry
will result in the planting of many new
groves this spring. OF the 800 acres
about 500 acres are now in bearing, and
the others will soon begin to produce. The
varieties of oranges grown are about
equally divided between the Wash
ington navel and seedlings. Here the fruit
ripens earlier, as a rule, by two or three
weeks than it does in California, and Ari-
iona oranges have often been the first to
reach the eastern market. 1t is frequent
Y the case that they are placed on the
Thanksgiving table of the remotest east
ern city by the Arizona shipper.

Winfield. April 25-Mr. M. H. Martin

to be used in conducting Investigations
in astronomy. In order to accomplish
this, he proposes to organize a stock

ment for himself and family. He has
already secured over one hundred sub
scribers to this stock. The colleges are
taking an active interest in the matter.
The instrument he proposes to pur-

the one used at West Point military
