ORANGE SPRINGS NOTES
Special Cor. Ocala Banner:

Special Cor. Ocala Banner:
Rain, rain, rain! We are certainly
getting our share this fall.
The farmers will soon have an
abundance of early vegetables to eat,
and a few to sell to the new settlers
who will come in too late to raise
their fall crops.
Mr.. Carlton says that he planted
turnips two weeks ago, and they are
eight inches high already. San any
body beat it? Orange Springs is the
place to make early gardens.
Col J. W. Townsend of Lake But
Ter, will soon have his beautiful sum
mer home completed. He has al
ready moved in for a few weeks
bathing in Orange Springs.
Mr. and Mrs VI. NJ. Kinney of Lake
Butler are here spending a few days
with Mr.. and Mrs Townsend.
We understand Mr.. W. c. Townsend
will soon have lumber on the ground
to build a home for his family. We
would like to have one hundred more
families like these, and then we would
make things boom.
Mr. Louis lyle and family of Ly-
one, Iowa, have moved into their new
home, recently built by Mr.. A. H.
Lang and Mr.. Fred Zoerb. Mr.. lyle
got busy the first thing and planted
some beans, peas, etc, and you would
be surprised to see them. He will
soon have string beans to eat, but
not enough to market.
We saw Mr.. James Waldron of the
Eureka section pass through here re-
turning from his honeymoon trip. He
says he enjoyed the trip very much,
although he had to leave his bride for
the other fellow to take away. We
all feel sorry for poor Jimmie. We
would suggest that the next time he
gets one of the fair sex in the notion
to get married that he take her di-
rect to Ocala and go before Judge
Bell, secure the license and then have
the judge tie the knot. Try again,
old boy, maybe the third attempt will
be successful
We notice the New South Farm
and Home Company has been doing
some business here the past week.
There were over a dozen buyers in
last Saturday.
Mr.. Lockwood Murphy of Charles
ton, S c., has been here for several
days, a guest of the Pegram house.

ELECTRIC ILLUMINATION.
The Difference Between the Arc Light
and the Incandescent.

The Difference Between the Arc Light
and the Incandescent.
1t is a curious fact that while the
average man knows that, roughly
speaking, there are two kinds Of "elec-
trio light"-the arc light and the in
candescent light-he has hazy notion
Of the difference between the two.
The arc light and the incandescent
light differ wholly in principle. in
brilliancy. In appearance and in the
mode Of use. The distinguishing diff
ference to an ordinary observer be-
tween arc and incandescent lights may
be briefly stated thus: Arc lights burn
In the open air with carbon stick or
pencils. the points or ends of which
are heated to white heat and grad
ually consumed.
Incandescent lights, on the contrary.
are produced inside small glass globes
Of various shapes from which the air
has been exhausted. These lights are
caused by the passage of electricity
through fine resisting wire or thread,
which is thereby raised into a white
or incandescent light without being
consumed on account Of the absence
Of air. If air leaks in the flament
Immediately burns up, and that is the
end of 1t. -
The term ''arc" is an old one adopt
ed years ago. referring to the suppos-
ed shape of an electric spark in pass
ing from one carbon point to the 9TH
er.-Harpers Weekly.

Paid to His Family.
The most grewsome feature Of the
fatalistic Chinese and japanese char

terrible as well led soldiers-is their
stolid view Of death. In China a coolie

mound and take the place of the quail
or pheasant when the authorities wish
to cause scandal and stop shooting
by foreigners in the grave districts.
When China's first railroad Of twelve
miles, from Wusung to Shanghai,
was built in 1876 we all remember
that native whose business of tug
ging boats along the river was threat
ened by the new enterprise deliberate
ly walked in front of the train. His
death, of course, accomplished the
purpose of the mandarins in starting
an effective boycott against the inno-
walton. The repetitions of this sacri
fee on the national altar (as they see
it) on the Yuethan, Peking Hankow and
other railways have been frequent.
The Chinese method of suicide among
unhappily betrothed girls is to take

Fanny Kemble when in the United
States years ago was prosecuted by
the attentions Of a wealthy lunatic.
When finally rejected by her he flung
a package upon the table, exclaiming,
"Well, at least take thisw and disap.
peared The parcel proved to contain
very beautiful jewel The actress
was not long permitted to retain it.
She saw no more Of her prosecutor,
but did not remain under any sense Of
obligation to him. The gem was stolen
from her before she quit the United
States. She forgot all about it in the
course of the years that followed. A
very long time afterward she was in
Italy. A peddler displayed the con.
tents Of his pack before her at Sor-
rento. There lay the long lost jewel.
Through whose hands it had passed
there was nothing to show.
