Human Curiosity.

The inventors of the penny in the slot
machines make their profit out of hu-
man curiosity. and their experience has
shown that very comfortable revenue
can be derived from that source. Prob
ably few people have any idea of the
number Of men, women and children
who daily buy chewing gum or other
trifles from machines, or learn their
weight by stepping upon litte plat
form and putting cent where it will do
the most good. In down town store
much frequented by those waiting for
cars is one Of the weighing machines,
which has record Of earning $50 in Q
month. That means that In that time

African Fruit Ru,ned By rn,ee,s

Half measures are of no avail in deal
ing with the parasitic fly ceratitis--thas
scourge of the fruit farmers in South
Africa. Mr.. William Tuck of Grahams-
town, who expresses this opinion, Is .
high authority on fruit farming. He
tolls US that in the eastern province
they can never depend on any fruit ex-
cept grapes coming to ripeness without
damage from fly larva, though where,
owing to high altitude-2,0 900 feet to
5000 and over--there are sharp frosts
every winter such fruits as can stand
the cold are fairly free from the plague,
because the Larvae cannot tide over the
frost.
1t sometimes happens that scarcely .
peach ripeps in the whole province with
out a worm inside. Mr.. Tuck Is for he
roic remedies He is decidedly of opin-
ion that if a general and perfect destruc-
ton of all the fruit grown in any one
year could be brought about by the COM
mon consent of the whole body of fruit
growers the fly might be stamped out,
but he inournfully confesses that the
universal system Of Ego as you please" "
