The traditional name OF Walnuts
(foreign) in the United States is
English Walnuts,' though it is chang
ing to "Grenobles," as being the re-
gion where the best English walnuts
are raised. First carried to America
in English ships they took or were
given the English title There are
several varieties, but the finest table
nuts are denominated or known to the
trade as ''Mayettes" During 1906 we
invoiced to the United States nuts,

value to 100000.

A Safe Place for Orange Growing.

Editor Fla. Agriculturist:
In the Agriculturist of Feb. 18th
your correspondent J.. C. M. wants to
know if there Us a place in Florida
where oranges can be grown and can
be left on the trees until April or May
without danger of freezing. I can re
fer him to this Canaveral section as
one. In an experience of 20 years the
FRUIT has never been injured but once.
The freeze of 1876 was the only one
in that time and then the trees were
not killed, as we had a good crop Of
oranges the next year. The cold Of
this winter did not even hurt our qua
vas or mangoes. I have shipped
oranges in April from my grove here.
The first orange grove ever planted
in South Florida was planted here.

expansive properties OF mercury are
more stable than those Of alcohol
hence mercurial thermometers are
more reliable than spirit thermometers
and require to be tested less frequently
Exposure ideal exposure would
be one in which the instrument is alb
solutely free from the influence of both
reflected heat and radiated heat, and
at an elevation high enough to indi-
cate the general average OF thermal
conditions. Reflected heat is that
which is thrown back from objects
upon which the sun shines, hence a
thermometer should not be- hung
where it would be subject to- its in
fuence.
Radiated heat is that which passes
from a warmer to a colder object
equalizing their temperature. AS a
rule during the night house is warm
er than the air outside. Because Of
this a thermometer should not be
hung against the side OF the house, but
should be three or four inches away
from it. A free circulation of the ali
is necessary, but not the direct force
OF the wind. All of these objects are
sought to be attained in the instrument
shelters OF the Weather Bureau.
Three Records. With every freeze
we have the record OF the thermometer
and the record Of the frost upon tender
vegetation. Between the two there
will be substantial agreement except
in the absence Of wind, when gravita-
ton is left to work its will upon the
stagnant atmosphere Cold air is
heavier than warm air, hence in a still
cold night the cold air gravitates tic
the lower levels making a possible dis
agreement in the two records of from
three to five degrees, depending upor
the difference in attitude and the
severity of the cold
Your correspondent makes this out.
side record identical with the record
OF private observers. The fallacy o.
this will be seen when we remember
that most of these private observers
have about the same attitude Of the
Weather Bureau observers. Hence
if there is any discrepancy between the
two records its cause must be found
in most cases not in the difference O.
altitude, but in the quality and ex.
posture OF the instruments. With
standard instruments and a suitable ex.
posure, there will be substantial
agreement of the three records. There
may be variation of from three tic
five degrees, depending upon 1oca
conditions.
In another paper | will take up the
question of the disagreement OF these
three records. Jas. II. White.

BURIAL OF LITTLE
FEROL WHEELER

Vallejo Chronicle.-All that was NOR
year old daughter of Warrant Macflin-
ist and Mrs. Bert Wheeler, was ten
derby laid to rest in Masonic and Odd
Fellows Cemetery this morning, when
sorrowing friends and class mates
gathered to participate in the funeral
service of this bright child whose death
has come as such sad blow to all
who knew her.
Three weeks ago the little girl was
taken i'll and as time passed it became
evident that the best of medical treat
ment and the tender nursing that were
given her were alike powerless to pre-
vent the approach of the angel of
death. The end came peacefully and
quietly Wednesday evening and in
their great aff1iction the parents and
grandmother have the sympathy of all.
The funeral services We're held at ten
o'clock this morning from the family
residence, corner of Sacramento street
and F'arragut Ave, Chaplain A. A.
McAllister of Mare Island officiating
Appropriate hymns We're sung by a
choir composed of Mrs. Ormond Nc
Every, Mrs. George S. Martin, Mrs
Rose Leaves Allen and Miss Vina But
Ter. Professor Paul Boulon, connec-
ton of the family, rendered beautiful
violin selections both at the house and
at the grave in Masonic and Odd Fell
lows cemetery, where the interment
was made.
The little girl had been a pupil of
Miss Fitzgerald's class at the Farra-
gut school, and led by their teacher,
the entire class, laden with flowers, at
tended the funeral in a body this morn
