Finest Apple Country an the World.

President Parker Earle of the Ami
can Horticultural society and, perhaps,
the foremost pomologist in the United
States, pronounces the Upper Pecos
valley OF New Mexico the finest apple
country in the world In an address
delivered at Roswell, New Mexico, on
the occasion of the completion of the
Pecos Valley railroad to that place,
Oct. Is. 1894, he spoke glowingly of the
capabilities of that section for apple
raising, and predicted that in a few
years it would be furnishing the worlds
markets with the finest apples any
where obtainable. The magnificent
fruit with which the trees in the adj
iacent orchards were laden, was pro-
nounced by him the finest he ever saw,
and he was confident that its superior.
or indeed its equal, could not DO found
in any other part of the world. He is
about TO show his faith by his works;
for he is laying aside every other in
tcrest to engage in apple raising in the
Pecos valley on large scale.

Dawn Upon the Plains.

While there are no night mirages
in the far West like one of an inverted
shore, lighthouses and vessels.
recently seen off the North Carolina
coast, the twilight o. dawn upon
plains or mountains sometimes brings
a strange magnifying OF celestial
bodies near the horizon. Thus, at
the close OF the day, when from
cooperating snow or recent rain
fall the air is humid near the
ground. the going down of red and
sullen sun below the wester sky
line is sometimes followed almost
coincidently by the rising in the
east Of full moon, as vast and fiery,
which, red and portentous, seems to
poise at the moment OF its complete
emergence over prairie, ridge or
mountain. threatening to roll. burn
