On she Cracking ofFruIt.

NJ. Boussingault has recently COM
inundated to the Academy of Sciences.
ut Paris. some observations on ths
cracking of fruits, Which are are 81 some
interestto tue horticulturist.' The phe-
nomenon is unfortunately too well
known. The cracking is undoubtedly
attributable to an accumulation of water
in the tissues, the epider,n not beino
sufficiently elastic to yield to the pres.
sure, thus causing cracks. It cannot.
says Boussingualt, be due to an arrest
OF evaporation alone, because absorb.
ton by the roots is checked in vet
weather. 1t cannot, therefore, be nd,
mitted t5at the water which accumu.
lates III the fruit, and causes it tc
cr;,ck, is derived from the sap but
there is reason to think it occurs from
the absorption OF water through the
skin of the fruit by endosmose.
In order to test this latter point. NJ
Boussingault experimental with varioul
fruits by weighing thom and the1
immcrsing them impure water for some
hours, tillAcraclling resulted. Whe1

inst proved the absorption oil. water
That the absorption was due to entlos
nose was shown by the circ1mstanc.
that the water in which the fruits were
immersed contained sugar.
Boussingauk accordingly concludes
that the cracking Of fruits which
occurs after or during continuous heavy
rain is the consequence of an increase
of volume occasioned by the introduce
ton of water; and, moreover, that by
endosmose the fruits yield to the water

Leaves similarly treated yielded sugar

mcrsad, although the skin Of the
leaf did not crack. In the case of roots.

and although they, of course, absorbed

Whiteyyosll for ShipRlcs.

The following is from the New Eng
land Farmer: Mr.: N. P. Rines, Of
Hampton,,N. III. in reply to late in
q,,iry iii the Farmer about the use Of
lime on q shingled roof, says it will pay
well to. whitcwash sap shingles; they
should be perfectly dry. and the more
lime they take up the better, but use no
salt. He thinks the best method of
using lime Is, to dip the butts of the
shingles in boiling hot whitewash before
they are laid. We would suggest that
wet, ime-soaked shingles would be
rather hard on the hands of those who
lay them, almost as bad as sowing wet
ashes by hand. -
