Petty Cheats the Gallows.

Last Monday afternoon Charles
Calvin Petty, the Sparks wife MUIR
derer, killed himself at the state
prison by jumping from a high pole
and striking his head on the stone
pavement.
Inc prisoners were being given the
usual exercise in the yard as is Gus
tomary under the personal attention
of one death watch and with the
guard on the wall. Petty walked up
and down the yard with the others
for a short time and suddenly made
a dash to the real of one of the build
ings where an electric light pole with
iron steps for convenience in as
eending the same. Petty rushed to
this pole and commenced climbing.
His guard followed closely behind
him. One of the guards on the wall
pointed his gun at Petty as If to shoot
and told him to halt. Petty stopped
for a moment and waited for him to
shoot, but he kept on climbing until
he had reached the top of the pole, a
distance of thirty-two feet from the
ground. He then turned with his
back to the pole and deliberately
dived to the solid rock below with
his hands out over his head like he
was diving in water.
He struck the ground breaking his
fingers and arms and crushing his
skull. Upon hitting the ground he
bounded into the air about two feet
and fell dead. Warden Maxwell made
a wild drive into the city and secur-
ing a doctor returned to the prison
within eleven minutes. but the man
had been dead for some time.
A coroner's jury was empaneled
and an inquest was held. After view
ing the body and taking the testimony
of the eye witnesses the jury render
ed a verdict that the man came to his
death by his own hands and %exonerat-
| ed the warden from blame.

FLORIDA BAMBOO.
BY w. H. HASKELL.

| am not sure that this name bamboo
is rightly applied, for [ mean the cane
of the Southern "canebreak"-thatw which
makes the fishing poles. I am not famil
lar with its scientific name. I wish to
recommend it as gigantic ornamental,
and withal grand and beautiful. A
c1ump of them when full grown may be
seen a mile. 1t is an evergreen, pleas
ing light green, and is fine used as a
single plant, or as hedge for wind
break 1t needs ROOM At ten years old
it will cover a space Of twenty to thirty
feet
Of it's adaptabi1ity and hardness and
power to grow and take care of itself
against all opposition, it is remarkable
I have noticed a plant here in very
light, poor, sandy soil where it was sur-
rounded with five water oaks where any
other plant would have been smothered
flourish, producing hundred canes suit
able for fishing poles, twelve or more
feet long. 1t grows to perfection here
in poor land, without care or feed, and
in dry soil
But it is on the side of it's utility
rather than as an ornamental [ wish to
write.
My attention was first called to it in
Leon county, Florida, as winter feed
for COWS, etc. There in the slopes and
ravines where there is moisture it grows
abundantly. The stock eat it off every
year, and thus keep it down, and under
these conditions it looks like tall rye
straw. Now it would pay to plant it out
extensively for green feed for the COWS
in winter. In addition to this its adapt
ability to cabinet articles, such as chairs,
sofas, ornamental flower stands, etc.,
also for lattice work and possibly green
houses screens, and plant protection on a
large scale; fishing rods, walking canes,
and not least, stakes for nurserymen and
seed growers or anywhere that cheap
stakes are wanted
[ wish [ had ten acres or more of it
planted out. I shall plant some during
the coming rainy season.
There is certainly very large trade
in it as stakes and furniture and as
wood becomes scarcer the demand for
bamboo canes for these purposes will
increase

EUCALYPTUS VS.. ORANGE
BY E. E. THOMPSON.

The orange is we'll known to all Flor
id1anS, but eucalyptus is meaningless
term to many, and some cannot tell
whether the thing wears fins or feathers
1t is gratifying to read educational ar
ticles on this valuable tree in recent IS
sues of the Florida Agriculturist. Tim
Der culture is considered too slow to ap-
peal to the average planter, until he
learns that with the care given to the
young orange grove of 100 trees he can
grow 600 eucalyptus trees on the same
area, which in eight or ten years, will
have greater cash value per tree for
timber, than the orange tree has fol
fruit Our millions of orange trees are
producing so much fruit that it scarcely
pays expenses of marketing Other mil
lions of young trees will join yearly to
further depreciate values.
The bulletins and reports of the
United States Forest Service indicate
that a timber famine IS imminent in the
near future and prices of lumber are ad-
vancing. Eucalypti grow ten times fast
er than other hard wood trees, but will
not endure much lower temperature than
the orange Their growth is restricted
to the orange belt, therefore there can be
no production. Chief Zon, Office
Of Sy1vics, United States Forest Service,
has recently travelled this State invest
igating eucalyptus, and there is likely to
be something doing in euca1ypti and the
orange may be left behind in the race,
same as in California at present
There is nothing dormant about the
eucalyptus me1idora (honey odor) trees
planted here last summer All winter
they have made rapid growth skyward
A tree of the same variety planted eight
years has developed to over six feet in
circumference of trunk, three feet above
the ground, and to fifty or sixty feet in
height. A tree of E. viminalis is con-
siderably higher and seven and one-ha1f
feet in circumference, and is probably
dozen years old from seed. These spec
linens have grown to their present
