XTho I heard a bird singing' the other nicrht. It Introduced itself as "Who- who! who who!" That was the whole burden of its song- as it sat there on the summit of a tall pine tree. The moonlight was very brilliant, as it always is in Florida,and the outline of the great bird stood out sharply against the sky. It did not look at all like "the little cherub that sits up aloft." In truth, its aspect was the direct opposite, for two horn-lik- e purs stood up over its head, and a distinct tail hung down below the branch on which it sat. Without doubt, these significant looking horns, feathers though hey be, have as much to do as its gruesome cry with the dread in which many people hold the great-horne- d Virginia owl. I never have met any one yet who enjoys that uncanny "Who-who- ! in the middle of the night. Not long ago two carpenters, who vvere new to the sights and sounds of our Florida wilderness, became in- -- who-who- !" volved in a quarrel with some of the old Battlers. The former slept in a little log cabin in the woods, and that night they were roused from their, slumbers by an appalling sound, a deep, hollow voice calling "who-who-! . who-who- ! It was close by, and the next moment the signal, as the carpenters believed it to be, was answered from the other side. Then they felt sure that their enemies had come to attack them. Seizing their guns they clam- bered out one of the side windows and crept softly away into a clump of palmettos. They were badly demorg alized. Again came that cry, again its answer, and then two of the big horned owls flew over who-whotheir heads and the "who-whp- ! died away in the distance. The men looked at each other, had a hearty laugh and went back to bed. The joke was too good to keep to themselves, so one day .they told it. Another man had a ' comical experience in this line, not long afterlie' had been to town and wards, imbibed rather more liquid refreshments than was erood for him. Con sequently he lost his way in the darkyfi 'He was sober enough, however, to y gin to snout, noping that some would hear and answer him.

It's me, Tom "Who-wlqim,lo-st wno-wno- v th, and: I'm lost. "It's me, Tom Smith, I tell you 1" interrupted the irate wanderer. "Can't you tell a feller the road without askin' his name? Say. what yer doin' up in that tree, anyhow? Come down out o' 'stead o' sittin' up there sassin' folks!" For by ttiis time he had traced the answering voice to a tree by the roadside, and when a neighbor who had been enjoying the fun revealed himself, the angry man was treating the .supercilious owl that sat up aloft with some very energetic language. Even the Indians, fierce and savage and heedless of danger as they are, have a wholesome fear of the great, horned owL They dread that weird "who-who-! " even knowing whence it comes. They call its source the "Death owl." Let an Indian hear its hollow, resounding call, and at once he jwhistles to it, or, if not in sight, towards the direction whence the sound proceeds. Then he listens in intense, breathless eagerness. If the owl repeats the cry the savage goes on his way rejoicing. But if there be no answer to his whistle the Indian bows his head in resignation, and moves slowly away in the full belief that he has heard his summons to a speedy death. No one who has heard that melancholy cry Coming out of the stillnes? of a dark night is likely to forget it. Many a time In the days of Indian warfare has a sudden call to arms in tho dead of night been drawn forth by, tiie startling cry of "who-who- !

The great horned owl has a healthy appetite bf its own, and disdains nothing, whether "fish, flesh or fowl;" squirrels, ducks, rabbits, rats, mice, weasels, chickens all are eagerly captured and devoured. But it has one favorite tidbit, over and above, all others it dearly loves the wild turkey. That bird, however. for Detroit, Fish Springs, and Ibapahl tail-feathe- rs, !

The stroke is 42 inches and the diameter of the cylinders 34X, 48 and 75 inches The battery consists of four breech loading rifles, breech loading rifles, four eight twenty-si- x pounder rapid fire two guns, Gatlings and six torpedo' tubes. The guns are 18 feet above the water, and can be moved through an arc of 270 degrees, and it is believed that this battery would annihilate any small vessel which came within range. The Texas was launched on June 28, 1892. The original plans were made by English designers, but these have since been considerably altered, so that the ship has been built for the most part from American designs. The Texas is a twin screw, steel armored vessel of 6,335 tons normal 5he will be driven by displacement. two sets .of triple expansion engines capable of developing 5,800 horse power with natural draught and 6,600 horse power with forced draught. The vessel will be 200 feet in length and 64 feet and 1 inch wide. It will have a mean draught of 22 feet 6 inches and will carry about 950 tons of coal. The main armament will consist of two breech loading guns, each weighing 46 tons, mounted in two, turrets, one on either side of the forward deck. A secondary battery will consist of four six pounder and four three pounder rapid firing guns, with four 47 mm. Hotchkiss guns. All of these will be mounted on the gun deck with a 1 inch plating to protect them. There will he besides two Gatlingguns and two 37 mm. Hotchkiss guns mounted on the bridge. The military tops and the flying bridge will be provided with similar equipments. The turrets will be armored with 12 ly.

An eminent Italian scientist, who is an acknowledged authority on malaria and its causes, tells us that no matter how saturated with moisture soil may be, it is not of necessity unhealthy. The malarial microbe is not a production of the soil, neither is it the cause or effect of decaying vegetable matter. It is an independent organism, and has as much an individual growth and development as sheep and cattle. It must be present in the soil in order to bring about those conditions known as malarial. It is an established fact that this microbe exists, as it has been cultivated and carefully observed. For its perfect growth and increase, a of deabout 68 temperature is Fahrenheit grees necessary, and there must be a certain amount of humidity in the soil as well as free atmospheric action. Perfectly dry soil, or even that which is only slightly damp, will not present a favorable breeding ground for malarial germs, and they either perish altogether or U ROM THRE E A m umm. lr Leads All the RestV AWARDS. jI nj u u ei ' a. ; 1894, - J Support Home State Fair Medal.
