California Oranges Sour.

In a personal letter to the editor, a
large Eastern dealer gives this view of
the orange situation:
II tell you the situation is not fine
for our friends in southern California.
With $4,000 carloads of oranges still to
market, and all the people in the east
refusing to buy the fruit because it is
sour. Not exactly sour, but it is not
sweet, and is lacking in flavor. Half
a dozen of our best people, jOhhers |
mean, have told me within week
they simply cannot sell the fruit and
do not want it at all. The prices OBJ
tainable now prove it, 500, $40, =.

but no good inside Floridas are
winding up, and are being fought for

The Cold in the Orange Districts Of
California.

J California.
I The Redlands, Call Citrograph of
Feb. Il, gives the following infOrma-
ton about the recent cold weather in
that region:
1t was cold enough in Redlands TO
receive this specific title, for no season
has had colder days since Redlands
was founded.
1t is we'll to be somewhat particular
i'm speaking of the effects OF the frost
that occurred since our last issue, be-
cause of the wild statements Of alarm
lit corrcsp ondents Of Los Angeles pa
pers. In our desire to get at the facts
p of damage 10 the orange crop of the
Redlands region, We have not only
investigated personally, bat have in
terviewed those accustomed 10 careful
| observation Of frost injury in south
California. Our reports extend from
Grafton to the Mission.
Where trees have not grown during
the winter their appearance would
not indicate the passing Of a cold
wave. Such IL the case with the old
orchards. The tender tips of the
latest formed of the winters growth
that had not yet developed leaves
have been frozen and are blackened.
The youngest leaves in some cases
have dropped, some may recover and
others shrivel. such loss Of foliage il
of little account, and resulted from
late fall irrigation aud the many
growing" days of the open winter on
the warmer soils.
While it is not the case that every
orange is absolutely uninjured, no
damage to fruit" is - nearly true
verdict that We can almost agree with
this statement of cash buyer from
the east, Of sixteen years experience,
who is going about his business as
usual, after examining the orchards
of this and other localities.
The exceptions we would make to
this buyers remark are found in those
oranges entirely without foliage pro-
tectiOd. They protect outward and
upward and are usually sunburned
and would be rejected in the packing
house as culls at any time. Most Of
these show no cell injury; the differ
ence in flavor between the exposed
and under sides indicating the frost
effect. Such being the case, the
merest fraction Of single per cent
could hardly be fixed ~ a. showing
the damage.
Orange growers owe their escape
from damage in period of such low
temperatures 10 the fact Of the ma
turity Of the fruit, To the existence Of
a breeze that scarcely ceased till sun
rise, and to the giving of of latent
heat that always occurs when the
surface Of heavily wet ground il

A "Weighty" Fact.

The New York Press, a Republi-
can paper, recently said many
unpleasant things, and at the same
time some very untrue things,
about Grover Cleveland. The
Washington Post, replying, skill
fully disposes of some of the Press
misstatements and concludes with
what it calls "another sober word
to the Press" adding: "The one
man to whom far more than to any
one of his contemporaries this era
of prosperity is due is the Presi-
dent whose administration the Press
reviles. He not only killed free
coinage, but, in doing so, made
sure of the election of the Congress
that passed the Dingley tariff act.
Has the Press reflected on that fact?
1t is weighty." In other words.
according to the Post, Mr.. Cleve-
land should be kindly treated by
Republican organs not only be-
cause he killed free coinage, tc
which the Republican party is op-
posed, but also because in doing
so he made sure of the election o:
a Republican Congress. And the
Post calls this ''weighty fact"
Surely it must be "weighty
fact" with Republicans. Perhaps
with Democrats it is also {
"weighty fact" that Mr.. Cleveland
not only sought to kill that which
the Democratic National platform
for 1883 described as I"the coinagl
of the constitution" but alsc
"made sure" of the election of {
Republican Congress and made
possible the passage of a high pro
tective tariff bill.--T'he Conlmoner.

A strange search is being made
by the leading astronomers of
England and France for a missing
sixteenth of second. The New
York World says: ga sixteenth Of
a second is missing, and despite
the work of scores of learned
scientists no one can tell where it
has gone. A search for this min
ute fraction of time that is costing
hundreds of thousands of dollars
is under way, and it will be con-
tinued till the lost is found, for it's
recovery is of worldwide import
ance. If one grain of sand on the
shore of the ocean were lost and
scientists were to spend years in
trying to find it, their search would
seem to be little more hopeless and
unimportant than this task, upon
which the leading astronomers OF
England and France are now work.
ing. The sixteenth of a second is
missing between the suns time as
recorded at Greenwich and as
understood in Paris. The failure
to discover the discrepancy in OBJ
servations may change the nation
ality of thousands of people.
Longitude is calculated on the
basis of Greenwich time. The
boundaries of countries are de-
termined by the calculations at
this famous observatory. If the
Paris calculations and not the
Greenwich observations are found
correct, boundaries may be moved
miles. No expense is being spared
to trace the missing fraction. A
special building has been erected
at Paris, costly instruments in
stalled, corps of skilled mathe-
maticians engaged and a process
that may take years to complete
has been commenced"
