Golden Fruit Once a Bitter Berry
It's Great Development,


The name orange is from the Latin
"aurum, - meaning gold or of golden color
The fruit was originally small, bitter
berry, about the size of a cherry and very
seedy. 1t has been cultivated in Hindo-
stan from very remote period, and was
taken from that country to Arabia and
Persia in the eighth or ninth century.
In the tenth or eleventh centuries the
horticulturists of Omah Syria, began the
cultivation of the tree in earnest, the
fruit growing under the name of "bjpa-
rade." BY the end Of the twelfth century
it had become quite abundant in all the
countries of the Levant, the Crusaders
bringing it with them upon their return
from Jerusalem.

MYSTERIOUS MUSIC.
An Unseen Band Makes Melody at Big
River in California.
From the Willapa Post

An account of a mysterious buzzing
sound, that is frequently heard in Skoo-
KUN Bay, which is now going the rounds
Of the papers reminds US Of a still more
mysterious sound that is heard during the
summer months and always just before
shutdown, on what is called Big river
in Mendocito county, California. Another
STRANGE coincidence is that the locality
near which the sound is heard TO best adj
vantage in both cases has the same name,
viz: Cape Horn" The sounds in the
Big river case resemble the sweet strains
of band music, heard plainly, though APP
parently from q great distance. u is i'm
possible to locate the direction from
which these sounds proceed, as when
several persons are listening at once, some
win hear it from the air above, some from
water below, and some from the shore on
either side. Many learned and scientific
people have striyeu at different times to
investigate this strange phenomenon, but
though the sounds have been heard for
many years, the mysteryr as great
to-day as at the beginning.
