THE FEELINGS AND CORES.

OF course the market varies on the price
realized, but it averages about five cents for
choice rings There are generally sixty
hands employed about the average evapora-
tor. Besides the peelers, hands are employed
to supply the girls with apples, 70 put them
in and take them out Of the towers, to help
unload from the wagons, and night and day
hands to fire the furnaces and watch the
fruit in process of evaporation. \ bushel
of apples will turn out about five pounds OF
dried fruit, from which it will be seen that
there is fair profit in the business.
The peelings and cores are evaporated in
the same manner as the apples and are
packed and shipped away, selling in the
neighbOrhood of two cents a pound. These
goods are used for making jelly, and goOdly
portion of the jellies seen on the shelves of
grocery stores has been squeezed from apple
peels and cores. Dried fruit is not only used
to large extent here, but is exported,
France consuming q large amount annually
The evaporatOrs do an immense amount of
good to the community in which they are
located. Besides employing labor they create
a demand for fruit which could find no mar
ket The dried fruit is shipped mostly to
Chicago commission merchants, who find no
trouble i'll making ready sales. Some Of the
more wealthy operators do not sell at once,
but hold for winter prices. Most of them,

A Fiery Young Lady.

In the country, not more than fifteen
miles from Modesto, resides young lady
who has developed into perfect electric
battery. The first evidence to that effect
that the young lady hal, presented itself
to her few evenings ago. She was
about to retire, and cxtinguished the
light in her room, and with quick mo-
ton rolled back the bed covering, when
10, and behold the bed Immediately was
turned into sheet of fire. The young
lady, much frightened, screamed Fire"
and at the same time grabbed the bed
covering in her arms. When the other
members of the family arrived at the door
of the room, they found her standing In
the middle of the room in the midst of
what seemed to be fame of fire, but no
sooner had the bed clothes been taken
from her arms than the flames disap-
peared. Experiments made by the young
lady since have proved that she has be-
come possessed of vast amount of cleo.
tricity, which shows itself at every op-
portunity. The young lady is not at all
satisfied with the phenomena, as it re-
quires the greatest caution on her part to
keep from starting up small bonfire by
the slightest movement of her hands,

The Destructive Fuugi.

In the present extensive use of timber
and lumber only the toughest approx
mate estimate is possible of the annual
loss by fungi, and the amount of loss can
be indicated in only few items. The
cost of replacing decnyed ties by the rail-
ways of the United States for 1885 e1-
ceeded $50, 900, 900; repairs of station
buildings and road crossings, $40, 500,-
OOo; repairs of wooden and wood parts
of bridges, Sc, ,25O, 900 (estimated); re-
pairs of freight cars, $22, 500, 900 (esti-
mated); repairs of passenger cars,
$7,5O0,OOO (estimated). The renewal Of
telegraph poles and fixtures on 160, 900
miles of line constitute a large item.
The loss to the agricultural interests is
much greater. The tenth census reports
the cost of fencing in 1879 at ST, ,763,-
473, the most of which was for repairs.
The loss caused by fungi on the 9,000,-
900 dwellings, with their accompanying
buildings, and the $4O6, $50, ,O55 worth
of agricultural implements which appear
in the census reports, and that on the
1854, 997 tons of marine, and on wharves
above water, form other large items.
The lumber interests are also great
losers through the quantities of timber
that are destroyed in store. The nero
mention of these facts makes it evident
that the regular annual less from this
source must be rated at many million
dollars. Popular Science Monthly.
