Seediess Grapes.
AIeehan's Monthly.


1t has been stated in recent essay by a
prominent horticulturist that seedless grares
are produced by growing plant from cut
tings for several successive generations.
The theory is that a plant becomes accuS-
toned to this mode OF propagation, and
then the natural process of producing seeds
becomes abOrtiVe by disuse. While those of
wide experience may smile at this Specula-
ton. il Is really one on which many scen-
tidc men differ. That there is no ground
whatever for believing that seedless grapes
can be produced in this way Is evident from
the case of the red currant of our gardens.
This has been continuously prOpagated by
cuttings from the time when the Romans
had sway in England and yet. as il is well
known, IL produces seeds as freely to-day
as if IL had been raised continuously from
seeds for a couple OF thousand years. Just
how nature does produce the seedless grapes
is not yet we'll known and the honest an
swer 10 the questions as to how seedless
grapes produced would be to say that
I'VE don't know.

young Norwegian captured the prize
for long distance jumping. The art
of being able to take flying leap
through the air, some ninety feet in
length, and then retain ones balance
when sinking to the ground, is a
feat in snowshoe running which
is not acquired at once. If
the country is inclined to be
hilly and broken by wooden patches
the sport becomes all the more fasci-
mating as such obstacles seem to add
additional zest to the fun. Where can
you find more freedom and excitement
than when gliding down the hillside
through the trees, the cheek brushed
by the sharp, cold air and frosted
branches? Your eye eagerly follows
some untrodden path and every. mus
Gle is alert prepared to meet whatever
unknown obstacle or danger you
might encounter.
The snowshoss used for this pur-
pose arc long and of very graceful
form. The chief thing in buying O
pair is not how cheap they can be
bought, but how good. A badly made
pair is totally worthless. The wood
used, which should be thoroughly
seasoned, IS generally Scotch fir,

THE DUGONG.

The dugong forms the connecting
link between the real whale and the
seals and walruses. Like the whale
the animal has no hind feet, but q
powerful horizontal tail. Its interior
extremities are more fexibly jointed
than those of the whale, and this is a
distinguishing characteristic between
the two animals. The dugong is said
to have attained length of twenty
feet, but the usual length is from eight
to twelve feet The specimen at the
Academy is nearly seven feet long and
has been very well preserved.
In appearance the animal resembles
the manatee or sea COW. It's upper
lip is large, thick and heshy, and its
snout is like the trunk of an elephana
cut short across.
Sir James Emerson Tennent, the
eminent naturalist, says: 1.-The rude
approach to the human outline observ-
able in the shape of the head of this
creature, and the attitude OF the
mother while suckling her young,
holding it to her breast with one flip
per and, while swimming with the
other, holding the heads of both
above water, and, when disturbed,
suddenly diving and displaying her
fish like tail-these, together with her
habitual demonstrations of strong
maternal affection, probably gave rise
to the fable of the mermaid"

riety than the men, as they are not
afraid to appear in q costume that is
,a a:littlesdifferent from their neighbor
while q man feels like a cat in a
strange gsrret if he departs from the
conventional suit worn by old and
young alike. A striking costume worn
by dashing brunette was of red
broadcloth; it was trimmed with i'm
mense black buttons of Persian lambs
wool, which dotted the hem of the
skirt in q most irregular but fetching
manner. The coat was of broadcloth
with lambs wool sleeves and collar
and it was fastened with these enor-
nous buttons. The head covering was
jaunty little turban of red felt,
trimmed with a narrow band of lambs
wool and black ostrich tips. A beau
tifully fair girl, without trace OF
color in her pale but singularly at
tractive face, was also attired in red,
which was equally becoming on &C
count of the delicate gray, fluffy fur
which trimmed the short cape and skirt.
She wore large, faring hat of red,
covered with gray and red tips, and
her hat pins were of silver. Around
her waist was an antique silver belt
and the stick, with which she pushed
herself along, had beautiful handle
of silver. Some wear kid leggings, but
they are so very unbecoming that the
majority look upon them with dis
favor. The accepted costume for men
consists of knee breeches of corduroy,

brown being the favorite color.
Leather leggings are considered very
swell, and are perfect godsend to
many who otherwise would have to
deny themselves the donning of the
knee breeches. A short sack coat OF
corduroy completes the costume, the
individuality Of the wearer being ex-
hibited in the tie, which may be any
color he chooses. The cap is of seal
skin, which is becoming to all COM
plexions, and many of the women
wear sealskin, and some beaver caps.
There is great stir made down East
to revive and improve the somewhat
obsolete but withal delightful sport of
skating with sail attachment. This
pastime is somewhat dangerous, as
most participants are overanxious to
carry too large a canvas. Members Of
the sail skating clubs are now consid-
ering a great many improved models
for these sails. with IL view of reeulat-
ing the sizes to be carried. The most
popular model for the sails used at
present is triangular one, rugged on
strong but extremely light and tough
wood. Many of them have contriv-
ance by which the skater can take III
OF let out a reef as the case demands.
Another style offered is provided with
light pole which serves as drag,
used to enable the skater to make
quick turns or slacken his speed.
II requires great strength and en-
durance to carry even n moderate
sized sail, but the larger the sail the
more exciting the sport. Splendid

A Cannibal Plant.

One of the oldest as well as one OF
the .arest plants that grows in all the
Chesapeake Bay region is the Sara.
cenia Purpurea, commonly called the
pitcher plant" 1t grows in many
parts of Maryland, and is generally
found il the darkest and dampest parts
of the forest. A roset.e of half-pros-
trate hollow leaves surrounds an erect
flower stalk. The pitcher is topped by
a crest, which is decorated with red
dish streaks, and disposed SO that it
catches rain drops and let's them slide
into the pitcher. Insects are attracted
by the sweet secretion of glandular
hairs on the lid or crest, wander farther
down on so-called conducting sur
face" covered with downward-painted
hairs, which forbid return, and even
tually fall hopelessly into the water
occupying the lower part of the pitch

Origin of the Mermaid.

A mermaid" is on exhibition at the
rooms of the San Francisco Academy
OF Sciences. The animal came from
Australia, and is known as the dugong.
Although the animal is the veritable
original of the mermaid, says the San
Francisco Examiner, her scientific
name is not 80 supple on the lips as
the soft pet names given to the marine
sirens of mythology. She is known
as the dugong, and while she is more
or less interesting to the naturalist as
being the inofensive cause of the mer-
maid myths, she is still more interest
ing to him because she is a dugong.
For the dugong has been battling for
existence in the marine world for CEN
turies and is about to lose her identity
among her aquatic neighbors of the
southern deep. The dugong is be-
coming rapidly extinct. A specimen
is seldom captured, and the one in the
possession of the Academy is regarded
as an extraordinary prize.

when sliding down steep incline. 1t
is best to begin on perfectly level
surface and to use only very moderate
speed. Should the snowshoes get
tangled up and the feet dissolve part
nership, so to speak, do not be dis
coursged, but plod along and the art
of snowshoeing is conquered. In fast
ening the snowshoes to the foot care
should be taken to have the foot firmly
secured and still allow the heel to rise
from the shoe with perfect freedom.
The beginner must avoid lifting his
feet from the ground, the snowshoes
must be driven forward by peculiar
stride or slide while the body should
remain in graceful erect pose with
out the slightest suspicion of stiffness.
Soon the novice will acquire proficiency
to develop his slide into swinging
gait of great force and rapidity.
Snowshoelng opens up such vista
of pretty girls and picturesque Co.'S
tunes, handsome, manly fellows in
corduroy suits and sealskin caps.
The women have a chance for more va
