SPANS Orange Groves.

The Spanish orange region extends
over eastern and southern Catalonia,
Valencia, Alicante, Murcia, Malaga and
Seville. and in parts OF Valencia and
Murcia the trees now grow in forests,
the soil of the famous Nalencian "huer-
Ia" lavishly manured with guano, be-
ing the richest in Europe. Here a sim
gle full grown tree will yield 1900 and
at times as many as l,SO0 oranges in a
season, fruit bearing beginning when
the trees reach their sixth year and In
creasing until they are twenty, when
degeneration usually sets in.

Fish Tint Chnngc Color.

Anglers have noticed that fish of the
same species caught in the same
stream often differ completely in color
and take protective hues that match
the prevailing local coloring of their
homes. Herr Otto Gotthilf found by a
course Of experiments with turbots
that this faculty OF changing color in
accordance with the surroundings is
primarily due to the action Of light
upon the optic nerve. The light does
not act directly upon the eye, but is re-
fiected from such substances as are
around and affects the coloring cells
through the nerve centers of the fish.
Proof OF this was obtained by seyerlng
the optic nerve OF the turbot, when II
was found that II no longer possessed
the power Of changing color.-Pear-
sons.

circumstan,iaI Evidence.

Sir Henry Hawkins, brilliant adyo-
cate and one OF England's greatest
criminal judges, expressed the follow
ing opinion in his "Reminiscences"
let me say word about circum-
stantial evidence Some writers have
spoken OF It as kind Of dangerous
innovation in our criminal procedure.
II is almost the only evidence that Is
obtainable in all great crimes and IL Is
the best and most reliable. | have wit
messed many great trials for murder,
but DO not remember one where there
was an eyewitness TO the deed. How
is it possible, then, to bring home the
charge TO the culprit unless you rely on
circumstantial evidence?
"Circumstantial evidence h the evil
dence Of circumstances facts that
speak for themselves and that cannot
be contradlcted. Circumstances have
no motive TO deceive, while human tes-
tlmony is too often the product Of ev-
cry kind OF motive"

Prisoner KILLED In Jail VIM

PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 17.-Locked
in prison van, eight inmates of the
house Of correction were dragged over
a twenty foot embankment here. and
Matthew Alderman was killed and
John Sharley was probably fatally in
jured. The others were severely cut
and bruised. The prisoners were being
taken from the house of correction to
the site of the new municipal hospital,
where they are employed. The road
way is elevated twenty feet above the
surrounding soil, and the horses, be.
coming frightened, dashed down the
embankment and the van rolled to the

The editor can testify to his own
knowledge OF some OF the facts stated
in a communication from Mr. Chase in
another column. Around Barre the
Italians hunt about everything bigger
than grasshopper and the writer hi s
seen them carrying home scores Of rob-
ms and other song birds from the
woods close to the city. The Italians
are not the only offenders but they are
the worst. We believe they are not
allowed TO have firearms in their own
country and there is no hunting there
except on private estates and they are
perhaps on that account more inclined
to abuse the freedom they enjoy in
that respect in this country. Then too
they are especially fond of birds as
articles of diet and will eat any kind,
no matter how small. The result is
that they have cleared the woods
around Barre of all kinds of game and
the orchards and groves of song birds
to an alarming extent. A similar
condition exists at Montpelier, North
field, Hardwick, Proctor, and Bellows
Falls and TO less extent around
Readsboro, Wilmington and other
places
