Millheim Journal. [volume] (Millheim, Pa.) 1876-1984, 1881-04-14

In late lecture, Prof. Caldwell, In talk
ing on the chemical composition OF fruit,
mentioned some of the leading component
parts, as pectosc, and the free organic acids,
including the malic and tartarlc acids. To
these acids the sour taste is due. More
prominent thar pectose is sugar, which In
peaches may run as low as ! per cent,
but exceeds per cent. In sweet cherries,
and sometimes runs as high as Is per cent.
In grapes. The albunoids exist In small
quantities in fruits. Prof. e. stated that
in order to get as much consequent nutri-
ment as is contaIaed in ounces of fresh
white of egg, one would have TO eat, accord
ing TO analysis, ITO ounces OF cherries, 1873
OF. of grapes, 1914 OF strawberries, 247 of
gooseberries, 90 of apples, or 400 of pears.
The agreeable quality Of fruits depends on
the proportion between acid, sugar, pectin,
gum, cellulose, &C., and the aroma % due
TO the essential oils in minute proportions,
whose quantity has never been determined;
also on the relation between soluble and
insolubl0 matters, TO which the melting
quality of some fruits Is largely due. As
the fruit ripens, the lnsoluble pectose Is
tOhfOAbCh INV pS@AAhy 1hA bA@ AZ
softena. The free acids generally dimin-
Ishes, but In the apple it sometimes in
creases for short time, and then dimin-
ishes till the fruit is ripe. On the other
hand, the sugar usually increases steadily
in the apple and pear, but in the grape
makes a sudden leap as ii approaches ma
turity. Till midsummer, the soluble and
insoluble matters remain about equal, but
in August the soluble matters begin to get
the upper hand, and the ripe fruit becomes
soft or melting. Great changes are made
In comparatively few days in the ratio be-
tween the acids and sugar In the grape.
Treatment has been found TO influence these
changes, and cultivation to improve tho
quality of fruit. Ripenlng, as well al
weather, affects these changes, and acids
are greatly reduced in quantity in pears anC
apples by the ripening process but its ef
feet on grapes has not been sufficiently IN
yestigated. 1t is worthy of careful exami
nation in what way cultivation acts, anC
when well understood we may largely con
troll flavor, or modify il TO some extent
All these considerations open wide fielC
for future investigation. Prof. Caldwell
remarked that the important fact had beer
determined that whlle>the presence of pot
ash is important, soda cannot take II
place, although the two alkahes are s.
similar.

Summer Tours OF 1881.

Already the notes of preparation for the
Summer, eIe being heard on every side.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company will,
during the coming season, present greater
facilities than ever for visitors 10 the many
mountain and seaside resorts reached by it.
All the advantages offered in previous sea-
sons in the way of excursion tickets, fast
and frequent trains, Palace coaches, and
splendid passengers equipment will be con-
tlnued and many Improvements will be
added which will insure to passengers still
greater comforts and convenlences. With
its leased and controlled lines, it reaches
direct TO all the popular watering places on
the New Jerey coast; and all the famous
mountain resofts of Pennsylvania, and no
expense is spared to provide speed, safety,
and luxurious Accommodations for its pa
irons. Fast express trains will be run to
Long Branch, Ocean Grove, Asbury Park,
Ocean Beach, Spring Lake, Elberon, Deal
Beach, Point Pleasant, Beach Haven,
Long Beach, etc. A new branch now IN
course of construction will be finished to
Sea Side Park, adding another delightful
ocean resort 10 the already large number
touched by the lines of this great corpora
ion. On the West Jersey Railroad,
(Which is also controlled by the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company which reaches
to Atlantic City and Cape May; many i'm
provemenls have been made, most promi-
nent of which are frequent long sidings,
giving all the advantages of a double
track; the running of the trains by the
system so successful on the Pennsylvania
kailroad-and the placing of water tanks
between the tracks enabling engines to take
up water while in motion, thus allowing
trains to run through without stoppages.
A marked feature of all these lines is the
thorough construction of the roadbed, the
smooth running Of the trains, and the en-
ire freedom from dust being particularly
noticeable. For travel to the mountains,
there will be found the usual high stand
ard of accommodation, and those preferring
jaunt in the country, sojourn in the
SHADY valleys, or on the mountain tops,
will find every convenience for quick and
enjoyable transit to Kane, Renovo, Della
ware Water Gap, Altoona and Cresson.

Rescued by q Horse.

DIR. Whitlock tells us a story of narrow
escape which his father-in-law, Murdoch
Mckenzie, who lives in San Bernardino,
CAL, recently had. Mr.. Mckenzie owns
young ball, gentle enough animal ordi-
narlly, and being IN the pasture where the
bull with other stock is confined, the
worthy gentleman was taking him by the
forelock, as it were, by pulling cockleburrs
from the shaggy front of the bull, which
submitted quietly to the operation. But
just as soon as Mr.. Mckenzie turned to
leave MIN, the animal made headlong
rush for him, knocking him senseless to
the earth, where he lay for the time sense
less, the bull eDdeavoring unsucceSsfully to
gore him as he lay PROSTATE. Now comes
the strangest part of the incident. About
one hundred yards distant from where Mr..
Mckenzie was engaged with the bull q
favorite mare and colt were quietly feed
ing, but no sooner was the worthy gentle
man struck by the vicious animal than
both mare and colt were observed flying to
his rescue with the speed of the wind, and
charging upon the bull drove HIM away
with hoof and teeth, thus enabling Mr.
Mckenzie who had recovered his senses In
the mean time. to stagger to the fence and
climb out of danger. His first recollection
however, after being struck, was of the
colt rubbing its nose upon his face, as
much as to say: "Pm very sorry, but we
hurried up as fast as we could"

Recover Arms.

The following incident took place in Ger
many, recently during a performance of
"Fidelio" at the Town Theatre of May
ence. Herr Mann, the leading baritone of
the company, was about, in the character
of the wicked Don Pizdrro, 20 undergo
the penalty of his evil deeds, the stage
''business" requiring that he should be led
away TO confinement by two guards at a
sign from the Minister of State. The brace
Of ''snpersn told OF Tor thls duty were
private soldiers, belonging to an artillery
regiment in garrison at Mayence-two
sturdy Brandenburgers, drilled and disci-
plIned TO a nicely. As they took up the
position assigned TO them on either side of
PizdrrO, previous 10 marching him off the
stage, the ehorist inirusted with the part of
"officer commanding escort whispered to
them:
Remember, the man Is state prisoner.
Guard him carefully"
Ubedisnt TO orders, they led PizdTro
away TO his dressing room, where he rap
idly exchanged his theatrical costume for
private clothes, and. opening his door, was
about TO 90 home TO his supper as usual,
when, TO his amaZement, he found that his
passage was barred by couple of crossed
halberds. Indignantly InquirIng of the
in1exible supers facing him with out
stretched weapons ''what they meant by
interfering with his movements" he re-
ceIved the stolid reply that ''they had strict
orders to guard hIm closely as a Safe pris-
oner, and that he must not attemptto leave
his room" Some time elapsed before the
accidental arri val on the spot of the stage
manager, whose authority they were IN
duced with difficulty 10 recognize, resulted
in these worty fellows recovering arms,
and in Mr.. MAnn's emancipation from re-
straint.
