FROM GEORGIA. sab,
Come the Watermelons That De.
light Our Hearts.
FRIDAY, JULY, 10, '88

Come the Watermelons That De-
light Our Hearts.
Watermelons are here in abun-
dance, too much abundance in fact.
For at the prices the shippers are COM
PEELED to charge, the supply is far
greater than the demand. The price
still keeps up to fifteen cents for the
smallest melons and fifty cents for the
largest.
At present Georgia is supplying us.
In fact, Georgia could supply the
world almost. On their sandy fields
where grass will hardly grow the
watermelon vine will thrust forth its
head and creep in green luxuriance,
blossoming with an immense number
of fruits shaped like green foot ball:
No place else in the United
States will water-melons grow
and flourish as they do there.
They are picked when barely ripe,
packed into ordinary cars, and if we'll
ventilated, will keep for full week.
If the melons were picked green, the
taste would be such that none would
buy. Yet, despite the fact that they
are about four days on the journey
here, when they arrive and are put on
ice, there is but little difference be-
tween them and those picked in the
home gardens.
The home watermelons will not be-
gin to ripen until next month. So
that for weeks yet, Georgia will sup
ply the demand. This years south
ern crop is not so good as formerly, a
fact due probably to over eagerness in
Southern growers to get their fruit In
the market.

Illumination for Paintings.

An expert in Photographic produo-
tions states that the most favorable IL
luminator for oil paintings is a direct
front light, by which shadows cast
from very thick strata OF paint and
strong brush marks are considerably
allayed, and the structure OF the can
vas Is made invisible. Black or neu-
tral colored screens; placed at certain
angles toward the object to be copied,
will absorb the Objectionable light, and
leave the original free from reflections
Gloss and flares may cause disturbances.
but these may be overcome by placing
rehecting mirrors behind the lamps, ond
by adjusting one horizontally direetly
under the picture. When very old
paintings have hung for long time
exposed and subjected TO dust, moist-
ure, and other damaging Influences. tho
surface Of tho painting is so much in
crusted with dirt as to make a good
copy from IL an impossibility; under
these circumstances, the picture should,
II practicable, be cleaned with soft
sponge, water and soap, and, after
allowing to dry slowly, rubbed over
with dry soft sponge, then with oil
or glycerine and water.-M Y. SuH.
