HORTICULTURE.

Excepting the tropical and citrus va
rieties, all fruits thrive in Lane county
even the tender olive and fix. Al
monds, peanuts and walnuts have
passed beyond the experimental stage.
Fruit has been grown in Oregon for 10
years, bat only Of late years in sclen-
tile manner. The State now supplies
a.l and information, through the Board
9, Horticulture and the Corvallis Agri-
cultural College. No one need lougar
fail through ignorance OF proper Meth
81 Of stock selection, planting, cnltiva-
ton, pruning and science Of pollination
Here as elsewhere horticulture calls for
painstaking and intelligent work and
great patience. Large proGts have been
made in the past, depending Of course to
considerable extent npon the energy,
care and capital expended, as well as
selection OF stoc. and locality.
Oregon ranks q good second in

the prune will always be confined ~

Mest
Color, style Of burning and texture
are the three things which the grower
of tobacco for cigars has chiefly 10
consider,
AT present a light cinnamon-brown
shade, which must be uniform, not

rolled on a cigar and smoked, must
leave a light or white ash, which does
not flake off and fall over ones waist
coat, and il must not Coal. E.,
have a black, chaued ring just be-
hind the ash on the burning cigar.
This is SUI to give bad flavor and
aroma.

when lighted, LOld firm for a reason

very texture, glossy surface and the
elasticity Of kid, so that il may be
drawn smoothly and closely about
the cigar.
Perfect burn, color and texture
can be got in northern-grOwn to-
baccos, but a delicate and agreeable
flavor has not yetbeen obtained. Fla

To obtain these qualities of leaf is
the problem of the tobacco grower

THE ATMOSPHERE.
Various Scientific Estimates of Its
Average Depth.


The Belgian royal meteorological
observatory has published the esti-
mates made by various mathemati-
clans and physicists regarding the
depth of the atmosphere surrounding
the earth. The calculations of the
various sayants upon this subject are
widely divergent. Blot estimated
that the depth was only about 40
miles: Bravais, 20 miles; Mann. 81
miles; Callandrau, 100 miles; Schlap-
a%relli, 1875 miles; Marie Davy, 1877
miles, while Ritter stated that il
reached a height Of PIG miles. In
Great Britain, during the early part
Of the last century the depth of the
atmosphere vas generally accepted as
being II miles, but the factt that mete-
ors became incandescent at a much
greater altitude incontroyertibly
proved that this calculation was fal.

meteors have been observed at g
