Workmen Employed in E-cavating
for improvements at Luna Park
Make Discovery.

Three hundred men employed in grading
on the site Of the proposed Luna Park
at Four Mile run, on the Washington, Alex
andria and Mount Vernon railway, be-
came greatly excited yesterday afternoon
because half a dozen of them had fallen
into what was apparently a well. One of
them. an Italian named Giannini, who was
at work with pick on the side of the hill
which is being moved to fill In the hollow
places suddenly disappeared, and the earth
caved in beneath half dozen of his COM
panions who ran to his assistance. Their
cries attracted the rest of the workmen
and they were quickly pulled to the surface.
1t was at first believed, as stated, that
the men had fallen into a forgotten well
that had been dug when the ground was
a part of Fort Runyon during the war of
the rebellion. but an investigation disclosed
the fact that the hole was one of suite
of five rooms that had been excacated by
some unknown genius for a dwelling place.
From relics found in the place 1t Is In
ferred that the man was a recluse who had
taken to the hills and had lived there,
within three miles of the city, unobseryed

and had baked them dry and hard-so hard
that the workmen found it necessary to
break through the baked surface with pick
axes. This was evidently the kitchen The
rooms were connected by very low CALLER
les, so low. in fact. that a large man would
have difficulty In crawling through on his
hands and knees.
The park men who crawled through
found what had been the library of the oc-
cupant. 1t consisted of score of books,
among them a diiapidated copy of Shake
speare. several books by Rider Haggard
a copy og kipltng, with a newspaper copy
OF THE Recessional' pasted in the cover
and strangely mntilated Bible.
In one corner of the library was found
pile of Indian implements and arrow
heads. which seem to be plentiful in the
vicinity. The better specimens of these
were wrapped in leaves torn from the Bible
and each was carefully tied with q piece
of cord.
Nothing was found In the other rooms,
but on the wall OF the fifth there appeared
to be the remnants of some writing. This,
however, could not be deciphered II is
expected that the work of grading at the
park Will be completed by Wednesday and
that a force of hundred carpenters and
builders will then be put to work There
are ten car loads of lumber on the siding
and more is In the yards Of the PennsyI-
vania railroad waiting for the grading to
be completed.

Shipping Green Oranges.

We commend an editorial from the
New Smyrna Breeze to your careful
reading. 1t contains some good advice
based on past experience
On the West Coast and in the in
terror of the state the onrage growers
have been shipping oranges and grape
fruit for more than two weeks, and
from now on the shipments will in
crease. These oranges will probably
color up by the time they reach their
destination, but they will not have
that rich, golden color that they get
by hanging on the trees until they are
ripe And the flavor Every Floridan
knows what difference there is in
thoroughly ripe orange and a green
orange, and it is surprising, that know
ing this, that many growers will force
green fruit on the market, thus spelling
the reputation of the Florida orange
and lowering the price of the ripe
natural fruit
Very few if any oranges are shipped
from this point before the first of
November, and in fact, this is the case
all along Indian River, and the bulk of
the crop is not shipped until after
Christmas, giving it ample time to ma,
ture on the trees and the East Coast
growers always get good prices for
their oranges because they are ripe
when shipped, and they have gained
reputation for flavor wherever thew
are known
If growers in other parts of the
state would let their fruit mature on
the trees they would get better prices
for it,
We hope that Our Indian River
growers will hold to their old rule
of not shipping their fruit until it is
ripe. We cannot afford to do any
thing that will injure the. reputation of
the Indian River orange.

Plant Peaches from Budded Seed
A Timely Suggestion.

A correspondent of the Indiana
Farmer makes a suggestion which is
exactly contrary to that of all other
writer's on the subject. In fact it is
usually the case that seedlings from
budded trees are very variable, occa-
sionally there will be one that is worth
propagating, but most of them will be
inferior to the parent tree and often
entirely worthless. However we will
give you his account of what his ex-
perience has been and you can test the
matter for yourself.
The peach season is here; that is in
favored localities, and the dear lovers
of the best fruit known to Indiana the
peach, are perhaps not aware Of the
I sl1ortness of the crop. Too many bud
ded trees, and too many trees raised
from seeding trees, are largely the
cause of shortage Budding trees de-
velops the fruit wonderfully, and the
growth of budded tree is so rapid
that winter killing is much more liable
than with the seed1ing This fact has
long been conceded by fruit men every
where In an experience of over forty
wears I have found that planting seeds
from budded trees only will obviate the
trouble, beyond any doubt, as trees will
make vigorous growths, and will be
equally as hardy and equally as sure
bearers as the old seedlings, and the
frui' will be just as good as that raised
from the budded trees, and a long ways
surer. The proof is in trying, and
when tried you will be convinced and
happily surprised at the result. Try
it now, while the seed can be had.
Be sure to get seeds from budded trees
only, and plant in bulk, right away,
covering two inches deep, and in the
spring seeds will be found open and
growing. Plant in rows in good, rich
ground, and if we'll cared for trees
will be as high as your head in the fall
and ready for repanting in the spring,
and the result will be plenty of peaches
in two to three years, as fine as ever
grew from buds, and that you won't
have to beg for buyers. Not all seeds
from budded trees will grow; care
should be taken in selecting seeds.
And in setting out trees of all kinds
of fruit, the more bones and mussel
shells there are placed among the roots
the better Thy it and see

otherwise it will swell after it is in
the crop, with serious results. Varla-
ton in feeding is essential to success,
as the chickens soon grow tired if fed
upon the same food day after day. AS
far as I am aware the dry system Of
feeding-so excellent for ordinary
chickens-has not been proved very
successful for guinea chicks, but re-
liable tests have yet to be made. When
the chickens are three or four days
old the eggs and biscuit meal require
to be fed but once a day, and can be
altogether disposed with when a week
has elapsed. Boiled rice once a day
gives good results, also little chicken
meal soaked in water, and dried off
with meal. Small grains are useful,
especially hemp and canary seeds.
during the first three or four weeks l
have always found it advisable to with
hold drinking water, supplying in its
stead an occasional drink Of sweet skim
milk. Green food is essential at all
times to insure the rapid growth and
development of the chickens, besides
which it materially assists in keeping
them healthy. Lettuce leaves, the ten
der leaves of cabbage, or boiled sting
ing nettles all answer well, and plent1-
full supply should always be available for
the birds
At the end of month or five weeks,
when they are over the critical stage,
they should be placed upon cheaper
diet Barley meal and ground oats,
either singly or mixed, are very suit
able, prepared into a stiff paste with
warm or skim milk. Whatever food IS
supplied it should be in crumbly moist
condition, and on no account sloppy.
Guinea chickens cannot thrive without
an abundance of animal life, and it
must be literally provided for them in
one form or another Maggots, ants
eggs, or a piece of raw meat answers
the purpose we'll Three or four times
a week some boiled rice should be
given, which acts as a preventive
against diarrhea, to which guinea
chicks are especially liable. Should it
become at all acute little powdered
chalk added to the soft food once a day
will speedily effect a cure. When the
chickens are couple of months old
they require very little attention, and
are we'll able to look after themselves.
They are, moreover, able to procure
the greater part Of their own living,
provided the ground to which they
have access is fairly rich in animal and
vegetable life The chickens, once they
have attained this age, grow very rapid
ly, and soon become in a fit condition
for killing. Plenty of exercise is an
absolute necessity dur ing the growing
as we'll as during the adult stage, with
out which the greatest difficulty will be
experienced in successfully rearing the
Youngsters. Only in this manner is it
possible to build up a strong, healthy
frame, and vigorous sound const1tu-

points in rearing are plenty OF exer-
