The damage to oranges by the heavy
frosts six weeks ago at Los Angeles is
much greater than was supposed. Some
experts Jay one-third of the crop was
frozen, meaning a direct loss Of many
millions of dollars and injury for years
to come. The market is demoralized
by shipments Of bad fruit, and how to
prevent the sending out of frozen

Il mining . paying and safe invest
ment?
This question has been asked and
answered several times In mining peri
odicals. but has not been brought suf.
6ciently before the public. who are
really the investors In mines and min
ing stocks.
There is no more safe nor profitable
business than mining IL placed in the
hands Of the right people and thoroughly
investigated BY stock purchasers. to the
same extent as they investigate any
other business venture.
The idea Of investing in mines seems
to many laymen to suggest gambling
and not . legitimate business. Before
the advent Of trained and educated min.
ing engineers conservative business
men and bankers would politely show
the mining promoter the door, and
under no consideration would they al
low their names 70 be attached to any
investment where mining is undertaken

To-day this has changed. as many OF
our very wealthy men have made their
fortunes in mining; thus mining may
be considered. under certain conditions,
. very desirable and much sought for
investment.
Twenty-Five years ago. and even mp to
the present time. alluring circulars and
newspaper advertisements have largely
caused the discredit which has been
aroused in the public mind against min
ing, due to frauds perpetrated on the
small investors throughout .he country
by the sale Of worthless securities. based
on untrustworthy reports BY alleged ex-
perts over cspitslizing the property and
finally underselling the stock.
Some mining properties promoted
along these lines have proven successful
Notwithstanding Encouragement and
the original intention to defraud the
public.
Those are the points Of Importance,
why the investing public should be edu.
Gated on mining matters, viz:
1. That the public. before making
an investment, should be instructed in
careful u~p-to-date methods OF investiga-
ton.
2. So that gambling in mining mat
ters may be stopped, and the unscrupu-
lous promoter prevented from pocket
ing large sums Of money. which could
otherwise 20 to legitimate mining and
prove of large benefit to the investor.
8. To prevent the public from helping
promote the "get-rich.quick" mining
companies, which nine times out OF ten
are fraudulent concerns.
Il has been proven Of late that a tho
oughly well investigated mining propo-
sition can be termed . good investment.

Aue of Apple Trees.

A good fo~ur-year-old apple tree, If
well grown and dug carefully. is a de-
sirable tree for a town lot or the vii
lage garden, but is not to be ecom
mended for orchard planting. 1t is
too expensive, as the grower must
have a big price for it to pay him for
use of land and labor to grow, dig and
pack such a tree. 1t is too large to
handle properly and plant in the or
chard, and the shock is too great for
such a large tree to be removed after
growing four years in a crowded nurs-
cry row. The chances are all against
the tree being of desirable shape, and
there is but little chance for the plant
er to get it into the desired shape Of
the modern orchard tree. The very
best tree to plant In the orchard is a
good one year tree. Such a tree should
be from three to five feet high. accord
ing to variety, some varieties making
much more growth than others in the
same soil. The roots Of this n year
tree are ready to take right hold OF
the soil and commence to grow. The
top of this one year tree is easily form
ed to any desired height and shape
that suit the owner and is to be pre-
ferred to any other size or age of tree
Set side by side, it will bear a crop e
fruit before the older and larger tree.

Certain species of electric fishes
have been known from very early
times. Occasionally VIZ find people
ascribing mysterious powers to
Them both Of good and evil. It is
certain that the Abyssinians knew
an electric eel and used it cas- a
remedy for nervous diseases" and
the Hindoos and other nations of
the east in times past were also con-
scious of its powers. Humboldt de-
scribes an old method of capturing
this eel practiced by the East In
dams, which consisted in driving
horses into water inhabited by the
eel and allowing the cells to exhaust
themselves by attacking the horses
with their electric organs, when
they we're "easily harpooned by the
Indians" but subsequent travellers
in the same parts where Humboldt
says the custom was pracGlced have
denied the report, and it is now not
generally believed. However, the
electric eel has been known to
those people for centuries.
