Apple Rust.

Who that has seen cider press IN
operation has not admired the deep,
rich, goIden-red color that the Juice OF
the apples assumes as 1t gathers In the
receptaelesf This characteristic hue Of
cider Is almost as pleasing to the eye
es the flavor OF the fresh, sweet Juice
b to tue sense Of taste. 1t reminds
one Of the colors of the autumn land
scapes amid which the apples have
ripened- But science says that cider
owes its beautiful color to the fact
that 1t oxides or rusts.
A French chemist has recently shown
that the apple contains an oxidizins
ferment, a kind Of diastose, which pro-
duces the brownish or reddish color Of
cider. The manner in which this SUBJ
stance produces oxidation can readily
be observed by any one who cuts an
apple open and leaves 1t exposed for a
short time to the air. The cut surface
gradually turns red, as the oxygen Of
the air unites with the Juice. or in a
word, the apple rusts. This rustins
Of an apple may also be brought about
by simply bruisins the fruit without
breaking the skin. Everybody knows
that apples that have fallen violently
to the ground show red or rusty spots
underneat the bruised rind. In this
case the oxygen is derived from the
air contained in the ducts or interstices
among the tissues of the fruit, and it
becomes active through the breaking
Of the cells that inclose the oxidizins
ferment. If an apple is cooked before
the skin Is broken Its tissues do not
oxidize when exposed to the air. This
Is explained on the supposition that the
oxidizing properties Of the ferment are
destroyed by heat. But let the apple
rust II 1t likes: the uncounted thou
sands who look upon 1t as the king Of
fruits will never regard this favorite
the less fondly for that And who
knows how much Of its deliciousness in
the mouth may be due to the very ele4
ment that causes 1t to oxidize when left
wasting in the air?

"Water.. water. everywhere, nor anS
drop to drink" is Coleridge's poetic
phras.ng Of cry that has come from
the lips Of the victims of shipwreck
ever since the first navigation Of the
sea. If the water of the ocean were
drinkable, not only would an enormous
outlay be spared to ship owners, but
one of the greatest horrors of ship
wreck would be abolished. Recently q
new method has been discovered in
Austria by which sea water can be
made fit to drink. The water IS forced
under pressure through a filter consist
ing of the trunk Of a tree about fifteen
feet long. The water is driven length
wise through the pores Of the wood,
and in three minutes, at the longest
issues from the end Of the trunk in thil
streams. and is found to be free from
salt and suitable for drinking.

better match o6ered-it was a distinction
to have such q man as Colonel Prinsep
in her train, such distinguished soldier,
such q declaredly eligible parti. Her
eyes grew bright with triumph, and she
held her head very proudly, when, though
the small hours were approaching, and
many Of the guests were gone, he stiU
fingered at her side.
Out beneath the quiet stars he could
think and almost forget that he had a
companion, but presently a well-known
name falling upon his ear aroused him
from the reverie into which he had fallen,
and he felt the necessity of returning
something more than the mechanical as
sents which he had given to each of her
remarks.

"You mean that she is not" she OBJ
served. smiling. "Well. for my part,
think it is quite a mistake to notice peo-
pie of that Sort 1t only makes them
feel uncomfortable and out of place."
A vision rose before his minds eye. As
plainly as though she were in reality be-
fore him, he saw Jane as he had seen her
on the night of the ball at Cawnpore. He
saw her gauzy garments. all of snowy
white save for the futtering straw-col-
ored ribbons that seemed to have fluttered
themselves into his brain and wrought
there irremediable confusion. He could
almost fancy that the scent Of the tea
roses she had worn then was waited now
across his face, but looking down at his
companion, he saw that she, too, wore
some in her belt.
Don't you think SO? she persisted, as
she met his glance.
Il dare say; am not very we'll up in
these social questions. Have you ever
met Miss Knox"
81? Oh, no! have never even seen
her.
Il think you will like her when you
do meet. She is very sweet, and grace
full, and womanly-I don't suppose more
than that is required in the very highest
circles" said Stephen Prinsep, with the
slightest suspicion of sarcasm.
Miss Knollys assented Immediately; but
to herself decided that Colonel Prinsep
was neither so gentlemanly nor SO nice
as she had at first supposed. She con-
cluded he was getting bored: and knowing
that nothing was more fatal to her
chances of success, proposed they should
go back to the drawing-room.

Proved His Own Death

The east-bound passenger train on the
Pennsylvania Railroad made an unusual stop
two miles west Of Delphos, Ohio. Just q
year ago young farmer named Edward
Carnahan was going home from Delphos. 1t
was a dark night and Carnahan stumbled
and fell over a broken rail. He secured q
lantern and watched until the next train was
due and succeeded in tagging it. The COM
pany was grateful to the young man and
offered him position. H thought he would
like to become an engineer ald with this in
view the company made him fireman.
At Monroeville, Ind, he was thrown
beneath the wheels and killed, and the stop
just west of DelphoS was to put of the life
less remains of the young man, who short
year ago had saved a number of lives at the
same SPOT.

BY Miss II. a. Guerber. Cloth. l2 mo,
with portrait of Wagner and eleven full
page illustrations. $50. New York;
Dodd. Mead & Co.. Fifth ave. and 2lst 81,
Few admirers OF the operate works
Of the sage of Beyreuth have taken the
pains to follow back into medieval
times the history of the myths and
legends upon which Wagner drew for
the substance Of his librettos. But Miss
Guerber the author OF the present
charming book, has made that field OF
literary inquiry a life study. and Is
therefore well prepared to guide the lay
reader through its labyrinths. The
method pursued by her in the book be-
fore us is to describe the legend upon
which the particular opera Is based,
tracing the origin and rise OF the con-
ception of the play In Wagner's mind.
and recOunting the subsequent history
OF its success or failure as 1t appeared.
Then she carries the readers imagina-
tion through the scenes of the opera as
IT appears on the stage. quoting at
times from the libretto, and telling the
story In her own words: but always fol-
lowing the trend OF the play. The IL
Illustrations are taken from photographs
Of various scenes and characters in
