French poets of the early part of the

things under a glamor of unreality.
One evening Alfred de Musset, one Of
this romantic band, was walking in q

New Fruit Drying Apparatus.

A new fruit drying apparatus has
been brought out in Victoria, Australia,
and publicly tested with apparently
satisfactory results. The novelty con-
sists in the motion of heated air
through the trays of fruit downward,
instead of upward, as in ordinary ma
chimes. In the center of the appa-
ratus are two cylinders, one incasing
the other, with a space of few inches
between. Into this space air from the
outside is admitted, and is warmed by
a fire at the bottom of the inner cylin-
der. The heated air. at a temperature
of 160 deg. f. to $50 deg. F., rises
through the space between the
two cylinders, and is drawn downward
through the trays of fruit into the fire,
and thence up chimney, the moisture
of the fruit being thus effectually dis
posed of. The apparatus will dry 600
pounds of apples in day, reducing the
weight to 100 pounds. The drying
of each lot of apples placed in the
trays usually occupies two hours, or a
little longer, as compared with four
hours required when using one of the
best of the American machines.

Criminals have a deep-rooted belief
in the power of talismans and in the
protecting properties of charms and
amulets. According TO an experienced
detective attached to the Criminal In
vestigation Department, the burglar
invariably carries In his pocket a small
lump of coal for luck. To this safe
guard he pins his faith, and, with his
"bit of charmed coal" it appears, he
may defy the authorities, however
shrewd they may be. Sometimes, when
searched at the police Office, there are
found concealed in the burglars
pocket a piece of chalk, lucky stones
and rings and rusty horseshoe nails.
Relying on such articles for his safety
in the moment of peril, he parts with
them most reluctantly, and often stip-
ulatcs with the turnkey for their

stand in a row at the upper end. Some
of them are very grotesque, and all
have finger nails two inches long. The
chief Joss sits in the center and is clad
in hand-em broidered robes. In front of
the deities are five ornamental silver
incense urns. These are used in the

pieces of wood, and the plowshare is
also made of wood, except that the
