der, the distinguished botanist and
Chinese scholar, and at that time an at
tache of the Russian Legation at Pekin,
sent TO the Arnold Arboretum the seeds
OF number Of trees and shrubs gath
cred on the mountains near the Chinese
capital. Among them was package of
peacll-stones labelled "Cultiyated Peach

Gus plants, which began to flower in
1856 and have lowered profusely ever
since. The llowcrs are large aud dark
cnlorcd, but not larger, or Of Il deeper
shade than those of many cultivated
peach trees. The fruit is free-stoned,
rather thick skinned, with white juicy
flesh; il has ii fair flavor and good size.
The fruit, however, is not remarkable in
quality, although rather better than the
average, nor is il remarkable in size,
and the only popularity of this variety
which deserves attention is its great
vigor and hardness. The ilower-buds
OF the peach tree are often killed in this
latitude; aud in eastern New England
the peach crop is very uncertain, tho
trees rarely producing more than ono
crop of fruit i'll four or five years. But
up to the present time the flower buds
OF this Chinese variety have never been
known to suffer, and year after year tho
branches are covered with flowers and
abundant crops Of fruit
Here, then, perhaps, is variety from
which seedlings can be raised which
viii be as hardy as tho parent, and
which, by careful selection, will produce
in time fruit Of first-ratc quality, or
which can be used by the hybridzer to
give vigor and hardness to Il new race
of exceptionally hardy peaches. The
quality of the fruit is already good
enough to justify the effort to improve
it, and the trees in the Arboretum offer
to pomologists Of cold climates the op-
portunity to extend northward the ter
ritory in which the peach can be success
fully ard prolitably grown.
This Pellin variety is of interest, too,
as a probably direct Chinese descendant
of the wild peach, which is now be-
lieyed to have come originally from
northern China, whence it was early
transported by way of India into Persia
and other countries of the Orient, and
then into Europe and North America,

mans uncle:
WILMINGTON, DEL, Sept 16, 1S02.-Dr.
HHgheS-DEAR SIR: Your statements made
to the public through the Inquirer were
very gratifying to Verhoeff's sister and the
whole circle OF his friends. Verhoeff was
a perfectly clear-headed fellow, lie had
early childhood. All his peculiarities and
eccentricities were adapted perfectly in
order to fit him for his life work.
lie was kind-hearted and amiable, but
If anyone attempted to thwart his purpose.
as am afraid Peary did, he might as well
stir up a grizzly bear. Miss Nerhoeff
would like TO meet you personally and
thank you foryour generous words spoken
IN behalf of her brother, and inquire
whether You know anything more. She
Will visit Philadelphia, and we would also
be glad to see Or. Burke, who was with
You on the expedition north last year.
Hoping that you will crafty her with
A. N. KErcwtN.
~ fUhH AN lNNESTlNATION.
On its receipt the doctor left to hunt
up some of his fellow members, but
without success. AS soon as he can con-
fer with DIR. Burke, however, the matter
will be arranged for presentation to the
Academy of Natural Sciences. Miss
NerhoefT's statement in detail will, in
all likelihood, be taken and the entire
circumstances surrounding the young
mans disappearance uncovered.
During the day DR.. Hughes also re-
ceived letter from Professor l.. w.
Mengle, who was one of the original
party, in which he said: 81 believe
there is every likelihood of VerhoeT
being alive and we'll" These communi-
cations have convinced DIR. Hughes that
he is right, and he is determined to
push the matter.
Last night he said 81 think now that
the public in general can sec that my
theory is well-founded, and worth the
attention of the academy. If Vcrhoeff
Is alive, however, have no fears that
he will get back home. His plans are
well laid, and if he started north he
knew what he was doing and how he
would get back"
THE KITE COULD HAVE WAITED.
An investigation into the terms on
which the relief expedition started
shows that the Kite was chartered for
three months. Under this agreement
she could have staid at McCormick's
Bay II days longer than she has done,
and still been able to get home in good
time.
The Academy of Natural Sciences
has appointed n subcommittee consist.
ing Of Drs. Dixon, Nolan and Brinton,
to prepare reception for Lieutenant
and Mrs. Peary. As soon as they arrive
they will arrange q public reception,
and the members Of the academy can
have the honor of personally congratu-
lating the returned explorers.

These figures afford the most COM
plete refutation that could be desired of
the claim that domestic production has
come anywhere near supplying do
nestle needs, the extravagant bonus of
the new tariff having plainly failed
utterly TO stimulate this sham industry
to any genuine life Leaving out the
extraordinary rush of imports last year
to yet in ahead of the new duty, it will
be seen that we are taking all our tin
plates from Wales, our imports being
about the usual quantity, except that
the higher prices caused by the higher
tariff have forced upon us diminished
consumption. Under normal circum-
stances there should be steady in
crease each year, but the additional
letters put upon industry by the pro-
tectionists have stopped the normal ex-
panslon of trade; ana as our people
have had no more money TO spend they

In September of 1890 dealers were
already specializing on the reasonable
probability which by that time was APP

vanced, 50 that portion of the rise in

New YORK, Sept. 17.-The fire at the
Brooklyn navy yard was not subdued
until about 8 O'Clock. The damage,
according to the estimate of the Brook,
Ign fire department, will be nearly half
\ million dollars. The navy yard off.
cials were very retiCcnt this morning
and would give little definite informa.
ton regarding the fire or the probable
loss. Their estimate, however, was con.
siderably less than that of the Brooklyn
fire department.
However, the fire was most unfor-
tunate and destructive one. The build
ing, which was erected in 1870, was
about 70 feet wide and 800 feet long,
and it was burned and charred from
end TO end. Valuable machinery was
destroyed and betting and wood work
was burned.
The fire broke out in the annex at the
northeast corner, where We're the en-

These engines are, of course, very vain
able, and as yet it is impossible to state
just how much they are damaged.
The fire was discovered soon after il
had broken out, and the engines were
quickly summoned from Brooklyn. BY
the time they arrived the building had
been burning six hours. About dozen
engines were quickly on the ground.
The flames were driven by the wind
into the main building from the annex
where the fire originated.
After severe efforts the flames were
finally got under CONTROL: but not until
they had swept through the entire
structure and, as stated burned all the
fiammable matter in their way.
The engines themselves have been
seriously damaged and will have to be
taken apart and thoroughly ovcrhauled,
They were tested up to their full steam
power only last Thursday, and were TO
have been transferred next week to the

launched in few days.
The extent Of the damage to these
valuable engines, which cost about

week.
