Concerning the world's fair, tiie 5Tew Ywrk CkMnmMcial says: The present positioti (f the worhl's fair does not appear encouraging. A reiorter railed to-dy on Waiter i Holt, commissioner for California, and from him learned that one of tlie causes of tlc present apathy is lack of activity on tlie part of tlie executive committee. He said very emphatically tliat tle execu tive committee of which he is not a member has leen assured of sub scriptions to the amount of over a million and have good promises for $100,000 more. t should go to work and show some energy. He said that California was ready to appropriate a large sum if the legislature could only see that anvthing was being done to for ward the enterprise, nis col league Lever recently wrote hirn from San Francisco that nothing can be done until preliminaries are completed in New York. The Commercial adds: As California or rather San Francisco is to have a very important celebration in 18S3, where a very large proportion of American citizens are expected to assemble, this expression of the San Francisco commissioner has weight that should not be lightly overlooked in the present condition of affairs. ing information as to laws, cus toms, languages, religion, etc., the vcr3r memory of which, he tlrnks, will die out with the present gen eration of Indians. Statistics sliow that "ice lS3-i there has been an increase of nsk from lightning in various par's of Germany, Austria and Switzer land, while there is no corresjKmd- ing increase in the number of thtuider-stornife. If err Holtz, who has been invefciigaling this matter, inclines to the lieUcf tJat the caus es of the greater liability of (larger from lightning arc t be sought in the changes produced of late by man on the surface of the earth; such as the clearing of forests, tlie increase of railroads and the great use made of irosi in tlie construc tion of houses. A report by Dr. IT. Trimen, of Ceylon, on India rubber, statos that the plant which produces the Ceara rubber is very hardy ad will grow in adr rough soil and in a moderately dry, liot atmos phere, while the Para and west India rubber plants require a rich alluvial soil and a constantly hot, moist atmosphere. The tree grows to a height of about thirty feet and has a dense rounded crown. In two years it attains a diameter of four or five inches, when it may be tapped. The cultivation of this tree will reduce the price of rubber to a reasonable rate. A Colony of Jews in Palestine. Eighty thousand acres of land have been secured by the Turkish government in Palestine, between Jerusalem and Jappa, for a colony of Jews. It is proposed to open up a settlement for the persecuted Israelites in Europe, and efforts arc making in England and in this country to raise funds for the pro ject. This is not the scheme of Lawrence Oliphant, the wealthy Englishman, who once endeavored to found an American Utopia on the banks of- lake Eric, where everybody was to cultivate his own vine the grape-vine and dwell in simple but speculative innocence.
