RIPENlna OF FRUIT.
a Semi-Scfentidc Little Essay OF Pop61la



a semi-scientinc Little Essay of Pope1Iar
Interest.
There are three stages in fruit grow
ing. Young fruit is like leaves, it
takes up carbonic acid and gives ont
oxygen, being helped somewhat by the
leaves. In ripening it ceases working
for itself, and reverses its action, TAX
ing up oxygen and giving off carbonic
acid. The fruit fiavors are acquired
in ripening; of them, or what goes to
produce them. we know little. There
is another change, that of acids to
sugar; this occurs mostly after growth
ceases. In some fruits, however, con-
siderable change occurs at the same
time that the size is rapidly. increas-
ing. In grapes. the acid decreases
constantly in proportion to the sugar:
it is thought it does not turn into
sugar, but that the sugar is brought in
by growth from the leaves There are
two periods of ripening-one on the
tree, the other afterwards; some ripen
entirely on the plant, others grow bet
ter after picking. Raspberries, straw.
berries and blackberries gain to Ger.
tain extent after picking; the grape
never ripens after picking, but remains
in the same condition it was when
picked, except that evaporation may
remove considerable portion of
water. The pear is always better il
picked a few days before it would
naturally drop from the tree. The
apple follows a middle course. partly
ripening on the tree and completing
the process in the fruithouse or cellar.
After fruit is fully ripe, we wish to
keep it for use either fresh, dried or
preserved. The ferments become &C
tive in ripening. and continue their
work afterward. There are minute
fungous growths that spring from
spores floating in the air. Plucked
fruits are essentially dead matter. and
thus are liable to attacks from the de-
structive bacteria of the fungous
growth. &C. C.. Caldwell, in Rural

BRIDGES AND SLUlCES.

Great Improvement Noticeable in Their
Construction.
During the past ten years there has
been great improvement in the con-
struction of small bridges and sluices,
especially as regards efficacy and dura-
bility. The Improvement consists
mainly in the use of vitrified sewer
pipe, which, if properly placed in posi-
ton, will be found in good condi-
ton after many years, while the COM
mon wooden and stone sluices. as usu-
ally constructed, need more or less at
tentiOn after time.
When the old wooden or stone sluice
is one foot square, a sewer pipe ten
inches inside diameter will remove the
water equally as well, as there is COM
paratively no friction and no impede
ment or stoppage as by the old process,
as the water glides noiselessly through
on the smooth, glazed surface. The
chief points to be observed in the use
of these pipes is to have the upper sur
face of the pipe at least one foot below
the surface of the roadway. and that
the discharge or outlet end be at least
four inches lower than the upper or
inlet. Also that when discharged the
water flows off freely, and does not
back up into the pipe. Danger from
the latter need only be feared during
winter.
1t is not an uncommon thing to see
sluices and bridges of pipe where the
water has formed a channel alongside
the pipe, and the earth has caved in
from the road surface. This, of course,
shows faulty construction, stones and
pieces of the old sluices having been
placed in contact with the outer sur
face of pipe, and during high water
none of it's finds its way along the in
terstices thus formed, and soon enough
soil is removed to cause trouble.
Hence never place stone or wood in
such positions, but fill in with earth
firmly rammed.
For bridges, or where the pipe is
over foot in diameter, the bank upon
the inlet side should be laid up with

the entomologist'of the Oregon exper.

ably stronger. one part emulsion to &c

no injurious results were observed, and
it must be concluded that the fault in

When to Set Raspberries.

We are asked by correspondent If
raspberries should be set in the fall or
spring. They can be set in either sea-
son, but at the north, if they are set in
the fall. they should be well mulched.
In the south, fall setting seems to be
preferable. We are also asked to state
which is the best black-cap variety.
Perhaps the Gregg will give the best
satisfaction. The raspberry should be
planted in rich but not too rich ground.
When planting, cut back near to the
ground. Speaking of mulching, it is a
good plan to keep the mulch on the
year round, but not the same mulch, Of
course, for the winter mulch should be
raked off in the spring and new APP
piled. This mulch not only furnishes
protection. but food for the plants

TOBIAS GRSGsoN SHOWS WHAT HE CAN DO
The papers next day were full of the
"Brixton mystery" as they termed it.

and some bad leaders upon it in addi-
ton. The:e was some information in
them which was new to me. / still re-
tain in my scrap book numerous clip
pings and extracts bearing upon the
case. Here is a condensation of a few
of them:
The Daily Telegraph remarked that
in the history of crime there had sell
dom been a tragedy which presented
stranger features. The German name
of the victim. the absence of all other
motive. and the sinister inscription on
the wall, all pointed to its preparation
by political refugees and revolution
lists. The socialists had many branchse
in America, and the deceased had, no
doubt. infringed their unwritten laws
and been tracked down by them.
After abiding airily to the Vehm-
Gericht. aqua tofana, Carbonari, the
Marchioness de Brinvilliers, the Oar
winian theory, the principles of
Nautilus and the Ratcliff highway
murders, the article concluded by ad
monishing the government and advo-
eating a closer watch over foreigners
In England.
The Standard commented upon the
fact that lawless outrages of the sort
usually occurred under a liberal ad-
ministration. They arose from the
unsettling of the minds of the masses.
and the consequent weakening of all
authority The deceased was an
American gentleman who had been
residing for some weeks in the
metropolis. He had stayed at the
clearinghouse of Nine. Carpenter,
In Torquay Terrace, Camberwen. He
was accompanied in his travels by his
private secretary, Mr.. Joseph Stanger-
eou. The two babe adieu to their
Iandiady upon Tuesday, the 4th inst,
and departed to Euston station with
the ss-uwed intention of catching the
liverpool express. They were after
ward ceen together on the platcfm.
Nothing more is known of them until
Mr. Dire kber's body was, as recorded.
discovered in an empty house in the
Brixton road, many miles from Euston.
How he came there or how he met his
fate are Questions which are still in
yoIved in mystery. Nothing is known
of the whereabouts Of Stangerson.
We are glaG to learn that Mr.. Les
trade and yIr. GregsoD. of Scotland

the fruit juice should pass through the
cloth a second time to gain added

the ordinary jelly bags are familiar
