WHEN FRUIT FREEZES.
why Oranges Arc Able to Resist Frost to
an UnuHuml Dcprre.

-
AN Urusual Degree.
The late Professor Ncwberry of Co
lumbia college, New York, showed sci
entitically soImc years ago how oranges
and apples are able to resist frost to an
unusual degree. His explanation is es-
pecially interesting to every citrus fruit
grower.
The professor showed that it is a law
of capitalization OF freezing or solidify-
ing that TINS process depends upon sew
eral conditions of the liquid to be crys-
tallizcd or frozen. by which is meant sim
ply that the liquid is changed into a solid.
The effect of evaporation has much to do
with it, us this itself reduces the temporal
ture OF liquid to q considerable extent.
as may be discovered by any person who
will pour IL little ether in his hand and
blow upon it, when the greatly increased
GOODNESS will be felt. In India water is
frozen by exposing it in porous lars to
the cold night winds when the tempera-
ture of the air is several degrees above
the freezing point.
Ice may be formed in redhot cruel
Die by the sudden evaporation of liquid
carbonlc acid or i'll Il saucer under the re-
celver of an airpump by the evaporation
of it and the rapid absorption of the va
por that escapes by reason of the reduced
pressure by sulphuric acid in another
saucer.
Again, solutions of various substances.
as sugar and crystallized salts will not
freeze at the ordinary temperature at
which ice is formed III pure water. Thus
solution OF salt requires lower tenn
perature to become frozen than fresh
water does, and it is we'll known that
sugar sirup can hardly be frozen at any
ordinary temperature. Further, the ten
sion under which liquids are held has an
effect in the same way. A light tension
makes freezing easier, while high one
retards the cOngelation.
Now, all these facts have bearing in
the case of oranges and other fruits, as
we'll as the sap of trees. Watery sap of
Very succulent plants freezes much more
easily than the sweet and dense SAP of
the maple or the hickory. Some buds
will resist freezing quite stubbornly at Il
very low temperature, and the resinous
covering of the bud scales of trees. as
those of the horse chestnut, exert great
resistance to freezing.
The sap or juice of the orange contains
a large quantity of citric acid in solu-
ton. and Il low temperature is required
to CONCEAL such Il solution. 1t also con-
tains considerable sugar, and this tends
to resist cold. The sap or juice, which
exists Ill this fruit i'll the proportion of
IS per cent i'll the orange, is under con-
siderable tension. and this excrts some
resistance to freezing, and finally the
sap Is not exposed to evaporation be
cause of its tight covering by which it is
protected.
Thus an orange must be exposed to a
lower temperature than the ordinary
freezing point of water before it will
freeze. The same applies to other fruits,
as apples and vegetables and potatoes, to
some eXtent.-Pomona (Cal.) Progress.

Whom Messrs. Adam Hess and II. F.
Behrens, OF this city. returned recently
from their trip to tho Pacific slope they
brought back with their other luggage \
largo and assorted lot OF fish stories,
which to say the least made some OF
their friends smile. Among other
stories was one aboutan immense shark.
which was doubted in particular by
many. Yesterday Mr.. BctIrens receiv-
bed the following letter from Dir. T. l.
Ingram, O California acquaintance,
whose home is ut Monterey, the sCeno
OF the shark story:
"Your inquiry in regard to the shark
caught hore last March is at hand. Tho
shark, I think, was not so remarkable
for its size rs it was for being n very
rare specimen, and seldom or never
caught. There is standing ol!er OF n
thousand dollars for tho skin OF one,
made by the British Museum. The
shark was about thirty.eight feet long.
and weighed about twenty-six tons.
Two were caught here this summer, tho
skin OF one being secured by the Leland
Stanford university. The shark is called
4 ba9king shark"

and Rov. DR.. Cunningham, OF tho First
Presbyterian church. made the opening
prayer.
Rev. Mr.. Littoll has Just graduated
from tho Nenia theological seminary, OF
Nonla, Ohio, and comog to Wheeling to
tighten tho labors OF Rev. Dr.. ]. I. Nc
Clure, who has been pastor OF tho

OF people present Inst night from other
denominations was notable. The church
was beautifully decorated with flowers
and ported plants, and tho exercises
worn enlivcned with music by the Ariel
banjo, mandolin and guitar club.
DR.. Mcclure made some feeling and
appropriate remarks, and was followed
by Mr.. James McAdnns. one oil tho
oldest members OF the church, having
joined it ovcr forty years ago.
He was followed by his young grand
son, James MCAdams Collins, a student
Of tho Linsly institute. who spoke well

ton, as did also Clarence Giiin, n

one OF the most enjoyable OF it's kind
cyor seen in Wheeling. l. wac followed
by the serving OF light refreshments,
after which tho assembly separated,
feeling that Mr.. Littell bad indeed be-
