FRUIT e0OWS AT TOE 0020.130 FAIR.
Among the salient features of the po-
mologioal exhibits made at the peal
fair and photographed for American Gar•
dening is the Los Angeles orange tower,
It is claimed, by actual count, that 18,.
373 oranges are employed' In the oovering
of this monument, whioh stood 35 feet
high, its hale being 14 feet square and
composed of the famous naval oranges.
Although oranges and lemons predom-
inated in the exhibits from California,
there were also numerous specimens of
grape fruit, limes, loquats and Ben
Davis apples, grown in the orchards with
the citrus fruits also, fresh speoimeus
of the citron of commerce, beside whioh
are shown samples of the preserved fruit.
Small orange and lemon trees are shown
in these exhibits. The New York fruit
exhibit was marked by two unique fee.
tureen, First, it was the only state that
emitted autisepbically preserved fruit
Irina its collection, everybhing shown be-
ing regularly preserved in sugar and
edible. The second feature was the
marked educational obaracter given the
display by adding to the name carte of
the moat desirabis varieties of apples a
concise statement of their merits, habits
and needs. time the visitor found some.
Ming tangible. A plate of apples roused
his enthusiasm and he read :!'Newtown
Pippin, for quality at the head of the
diet ; when saooesefully grown is profit-
able, commanding the highest pries in
bomb and foreign markets ; needs high
cultivation and liberal fertilizing ; pro-
ductive ; ripens January to Mardi."
Then if he had e. fondness for bright red
apples his glance lighted on a plate of
brilliants and he read the card than
stands over the gems for an answer to
all queetioue :—"Jonathan, hardy, mod-
erately vigorous and very productive ; a
very proetable market variety ; good

' ing of it :—"A vigorous• grower, very
productive and a profitable market

Of the 110 varieties shown at the apes•

It was built by the Gotland Electric
Company. The refloating lens mirror

°entre, and weighs about 800 pounds.
Tlt0 rental ring in whioh it is mounted
weighs about 750 lbs. and the lens, ring,
and cover weigh about 1,600 lbs.
This great mirror ie mounted ab ono
end of the big drum, the outer end of
whioh is furnished with a door consisting
of a metal rim, in whioh are fixed a num-
ber of plede•glass stripes fiveduscteentles
of, au inch thiok by six inches wide.
Llside this drum and sliding upon
wage arranged on the bottom is placed
the electric lamp, the source of the lighb
which is reflected by the mirror., - It is
entirely automatic iu its notion, is six
feet (nigh, and weighs about 400 pounds.
The carbons used are also made es•
pecially for it. The upper or positive
carbon is le inches in diameter, Is 15
inches long, with a five -sixteenths of an
inch core of soft carbon running from
end to end through its centre. The
lower or negative carbon ie one and one.
fourth inches in diameter, is 15 inches
long, and also has a sore of soft carbon
running through' its oeutre. In addition
its cuter surface is heavily coated with
copper. The positive oarhou is sot a
little in front of the negative, and thus
ahnost nil of the intense light of the
incandescent orator is cast upon the re-
flector.
The maximums ourrent at which this
lamp operates is 200 amperes, ana at
this current the lamp has n luminous
intensity of abort 95,000 to 100,000 can-
dles, the rsflsoted beam a total lumi-
nous inlonsiby which the eye cannot
appreciate. In looking ab the side of the
beam the spectator only distinguishes a
stream of light of comparatively low
intensity, but in looking at the beam di-
reotly its brilliancy is fully seen and the
effect is absolutely blinding.
Ventilators at the top and sides allow
a constant ourrent of hot air to pass
through the drum and dissipate the
heat generated by the aro lamp ; and
they are so arranged that no light can
esoape through them. All the connec-
tions foe adjusting the positions of the
carbons and the lamp are brought
through the drum to the outside and
are arranged in olosa proximity to one
another at one side so that all may be
manipulated by the operator from his
position.
Through openings in the drum oovered
by densely colored glass bhsoperations of
the lamp may be watched and its adjust-
ments verified.
Before the projeobor was sent to the
World's Fair a public tesb was made at
Middletown, Conn. From the roof of
the works the great white beam of light
shot forth into the obscurity of the
night, and slowly swept the country side
for miles around, bringing ovary object
upon which ib was directed into brilliant
and distinct relief. It illuminntsd the
roofs of distant villages and soared the
inhabitants and lighted up the signboards
miles away, so that they could easily be
read by means of a glass. The projector
was turned upward toward the sky and
the beam, like a supernatural divine
finger, wrote words upon the elonds—
messages of light to the starry popula-
tions. Ib was a majestic manifestation
of chat's iuvasiou of the realms of
Phoebus.
It was observed that the spino within
the beam was violently agitated, and
closer observation revealed the fact that
millione of moths and minute insects
were hovering in it, attracted by the
brilliancy of the light. Next morning
bushels of dead meths, beetle°, other in-
sects, mud some small birds were swept
up from the roof on which the projector
stood. They had been killed by the
intensity of bbe light.
How far the powerful beam of light
of this instrument can be seen is difficult
to state. The search light set up by the
General Electric Company on Mount
Washington, in the White Mountains,
has a diameter of only 30 inches and a
reflected light from the mirror of about
100,000 candle power, yet the newspaper
can be read in its beam ten miles away,
and the light oan be seen from points 100
miles away. How ntuoh further then
could this 375,000,000 candle power light
be soon iu a clear atmosphere free from
moisture, if the projector could be
mounted upon an eminence sufficiently
high to clear all surrounding obstacles.

OCTOBER
CALVEIRLEY'S AWFUL PLUNGE.
The probability is that Clifford Calver-
ley', of Toronto, champion ltigb wire
Welker of the world, baa made - his last
ppublionppearanoe in that capacity, H.
L, Jaokeon received a letter from his
father, E, S. Jaokeon, Oalverley's man-
ager, giving particulars of the aooident
at Trenton, N J., whioh indicates that
Calverley's injuries are of suoln a nature
that should he recover, which is doubtful,
he will be unable to give any more per-
formances.
Additional parbioulars of the aooident
show thab Calverley went tip on a ladder
early in the day to one of the landing
stages with his sack, baskets, hoop and
other appurtenances used in his feats in
the afternoon. He then lowered his
balanoisg pole, and as he drew up the
other end of the rope it caught iu one of
the steps of the main pole. In order to
release it Calverley jerked the rope and
as he did so the emend time it suddenly
got clear of the steps and Calverley
pitched forward off the landing stage and
fell to the ground, a distance of 57 feet.
As be fell he tried to grasp his cable but
was too far an one aide to enable him to
do so. The shrieks of the thousands
present as his body, attired in his ordin-
ary street apparel,desoeuded were terrible
and when he reached the ground he re-
bounded and then Iay as dead. He was
immediately conveyed to his dressing
tent where several (looters gave him
prompt attention and he was conveyed
t0 St. Francis' Hospital. It was there
found that his injuries wars of a very
serious character. Both his arms close
to the wrist were broken, the righb so
badly that it is feared he will lose his
hand. His right ankle was also badly
fractured and in addition to other in-
juries he was suffering from concussion
of the brain. He remained unoonscioue
for some time but finally recognized his
manager, Mr. Jackson, and asked him
what had happened. Is was bold be had
met with an accident, when he replied :-
"I didn't fall off my wire, did I ?" It is
impossible to say as yet whether he will
recover.
While walking the wire the previous
day Calverley had a aloso call for hie life.
Ila was running up the incline to the
landing stage when bis foot slipped and
he fell. He managed in falling, 'how-
ever, to throw his arm over the wire and
hang there by his armpit. The crowd,
thinking it was part of the performance,
cheered wildly. Calverley pulled himself
up on the wire and desoeuded.
Calverley was born in Clarksburg, Ont.,
22 years ago, where his father resides,
but he is at present in Toronto. For
malty years Calverley Was employed with
A. B. Hornsby of the Ontario Galvanized
Works, Toronto, and was employed on
all the ahuroh steeple work,iuoluding the
galvanizing of the arose on the stare of
St. James' Cathedral. It Was while em-
ployed on this boat he oonosivod the idea
of walking a wire. He made his first
attempt at wire walking in Rosedale on
May 24, 1892, and three weeps later gave
a pubtio exhibition at the Island. Hs
crossed Niagara, Oat. 12, 1892, in six
minutes eight seconds, the best previous
record being that of Dixon, in 12e min-
utes. Calverley again crossed Niagara
on July 1, 1893. On July 4 he was billed
to break his ow» record, whioh he did,
crossing the gorge in 2 minutes 82 1/5
seconds. He oontiuuod giving exhibi-
tions at Niagara throughout J Rly and the
first week in August. In all he crossed
the gorge successfully over 80 times, iu•
eluding a trip at 9 o'clock ou the night
of July 4. Since then be has been walk-
ing every day, with the exception of one
week, when lie bad to cancel an engage -
went on account of having his baud in.
jawed by a wire guy striping it ea Orchard
Beach.
It was the intention of Manager Jack-
son to take Calverley to the Winter
Gardens, Berlin, about Deo. 1 to give a
series of performances in the German
oapibal. lie also had an engagement to
walk between the Blondiu towers in the
Crystal Palace, London, during Christ-
mas week. These engagements, of
coarse, will have to be cancelled.

behalf of the local societies, and the kind
people of Hensall, wished the delegates to
enjoy their extended hospitality.
An acknowledgment was then made
on behalf of those present by Rev. John

excellent address.
The minutes of the Wingham conven-
tion were read and adopted. Then fol-
lowed reports from the Secretary and the

The President's address was full of
good suggestions, and if space would
permit we should like to have it printed
in full. The Christian Endeavor stood
higher in numbers, influence and power
than ever before ; the Society had more
influence on present civilization than its
railway system ; it settled the question
of questionable amusements by sub-
stitutional employment.
The President elect, Rev. G. H. Cobble

that has often been talked from, yet the
