THE SEVEN DAYS KING.
Short and Tumultuous Career of a
Neapolitan Fisherman.

0HcTL anu ununuOu5 GdFeeT OF a
Neapolitan Fisherman.
In 1647, when the kingdom of Ma
pies was under the grinding rule of
Spain, a fisherman of Sorrento was
stung to madness by the indignities
offered his wife by Spanish officials be-
cause she had attempted to smuggle a
few handouts of -four. So furious was
he that he tore down an edict that had
Just been posted by the authorities.
The whole population, including WON
en- and children, rallied around him.
Forty years of Spanish oppression had
made them frantic. They terrified the
vicefoy, resisted the soldiers success
fully and killed many of the Spanish
residents. They secured a revocation
of oppressive edicts. the adjustment
Of oppressive taxes ana full pardon for
all who engaged in the Instruction.
The fisherman. whose name was
Masanielo, was the leader In all this
and became the idol Of the people. He
ruled Naples for seven days. but his
success seems to have turned his head.
He became dictatorial and oppressive
and was put to death by the populace.
Hence he Is called the seven days

Many people believe that the aurora
borealis is q phenomenon peculiar to
modern times. But this is.not true. The
ancients used to call 1t chammata, DO
lides and TRADES, names which ex-
pressed the different colors of the
lights. The scarlet aurora was looked
on by the superstitIous barbarians as
an omen of direful slaughter; so it is
not unusual for descriptions of bloody
battles to contain illusions to north
ern lights. In the annals of Gloon
mac-noise II is recorded that in 6SS
A. D., accompanying terrible battle
between Leinster and Munster. Ire
land. purple aurora lit the northern
skies, foretelling the slaughter.

OUR NAVEL ORANGES.
We Got Them From Brazil, Where
They Were First Cultivated.

We Got Them From Brazil, Where
They Were First Cultivated.
The navel orange first appeared at
Bahia, Brazil, as a bud sport OF the
Portuguese variety of orange, Laranja
selecta, and was first propagated by a
Portuguese gardener at Bahia in 1922.
These statements and those that fol-
low are made on the authority of A. d.
Shamel, psychologist of the United
States department Of agriculture, Riy-
erside, Cal, who tells In the Journa,
of Heredity the results of an expedi-
ton to Brazil made by himself, P. H.
Dorsett and Wilson Popenoe.
There are about 10000 trees growing
navel oranges at Bahia.
The navel orange was introduced
into the United States In 1873 by Will
liam Saunders, horticulturist and land
scape gardener of the patent office.
He got the American consul to send
him some of the trees, which he bud
ded on seedlings grown in the govern
ment greenhouses. He sent two to
Mrs. L. c. Tibbetts of Riverside, Cal.
and the others to Florida. The latter
never amounted to much, but the for
mer thrived and are still living and
bearing fruit All the navel orange
trees in California are their progeny
There are about 100000 acres of this
variety in that state. and about 10000
600 boxes are produced every year.
The navel orange cannot be grown
from seed, as 1t contains no seed. 1t
is in California generally budded upon
stocks from the Mission sweet seed

brought about the trouble.

him about the shoulder. Both bullets
came in contact with the ribs of the
young man and following. them around
lodged in his back near the surface. I'M
