KEEPING FRUIT FRESH,


Description of New French Method.
MIR. Henry p du Belief, United States
consul at Rheims, in report to the
State Department describes new pro-
cess for keeping fruit fresh:
The result of the experiments made in
the latter part of the year 1894 and late
ly reported to the Horticultural Society
Of SCISSORS by Mr.. A. Petit, chief of the
Laboratory of Horticultural Research
es at the National Horticultural School
at Versailles, deserves the attention
and consideration of fruit-growers
throughout the United States
Impressed with the powerful action of
alcoholic vapors on the mould, which
generally appears on the surface of
fruits in damp atmosphere, Mr.. Petit
noticed that pears and apples kept for
several months in a. surrounding satu-
rated with vapors of water and alco-
hol, even were they at the beginning IN
q state of decay, showed no signs of
mould, while fruits in every particular
Iidentically similar to the former, stored
under the same conditions, but not ex-
posed to the action of alcoholic vapors,
were entirely covered with it.
Taking advantage of this observation,
Mr.. Petit applied the principle to the
preservation of fruits in general, and
most particularly to grapes, because,
more than others, the latter are subject
to mould. 1t was to be foreseen that
grapes kept from the day they are cut
off the vines in an atmosphere satura-
ted with vapors of water and alcohol
would, by the retarding of the sweating
period, not only remain free from
mould, but would even retain their nat
ural aspect. Consequently, should the
temperature be constant and low, the
preservation could be maintained long
and well.
On the 31st of October, 1S94-that is,
very late in the season and at a very
| unfavorable time-Mr. Petit placed,
with other fruits and bottle filled with
one hundred cubic centimetres (sixty-
one cubic inches, of alcohol at ninety
six degrees, some punches of grapes
known as 'Chasselas de Fontaine-
bleau," fresh from the vine, in a brick
recipient in the form of a parallelo-
piped, cemented inside and closed as
Theoretically as possible by a common

understanding, and caught the sardonic
gaze of little man in ill-fitting dress
clothes, hung with orders like a strong
man at a music-hall. He stood in the
doorway for some minutes, surveying
the assemblage, and evidently debating
whether to feel flattered or outraged by
his reception, AT length he shrugged
his shoulders irritably, turned on his
heel, and went away. The effect was
like that conveyed by replacing phono-
graph tubes In the ears after laying
them down. OF sudden the old buzz
of merrymaking was heard anew, while
the prince asked: IN. Stambuloff, est
IL deja parti?"
1t is said that you do not really know

Stambuloff, The first was at Bourgas
Monastery, whittier a whole crowd Of
visitors, journalists and commercial
people had repaired from Sofia for a
three days picnic and sight of the
peasants dancing the choro. AT about
six every evening the meal would be-
gin, and it generally lasted far into the
small hours. NJ Stambuloff always
said that he did not care what he ate or
drank so long as he had more than
enough of it. 1 don't know where the
things came from, but there We're
enough victuals to surfeit ten times our
numbers. On these occasions M. Stam-
buloff seemed to pass through a transi-
ton from his chronic sourness to new
variety of sourness, which found its
| vent in a rough, hollow hilarity. He
would play practical jokes on his neigh
bors. For instance, I saw him cram
bread down the neck of M. Grekoff, his
foreign minister. Then he would break
out into harsh, unmusical songs, some
of them of his own composition. He
was as one who had deliberately made
up his mind to enjoy himself for once at
any cost, but who either did not know
how to set about it or found the effort
much harder than he had expected.
One night I shall never forget. The
prince was away at Carlsbad and M.

Rycycles Hurt Trolley Koads.

In some of the far western cities the
electric car system is threatened with
bankruptcy by new danger. This Is
the ubiquitous bicycle. The neighbor-
ing cities of San Francisco and Oak
land are so given over to the Delights
of the wheel that half the street rail-
roads have gone into the hands OF re-
ceivers, and the other half are strug-
Cling along with difficulty.
Particularly in Oakland are the troll
ley lines suffering. The streets there
are nearly all level and we'll paved, and
the percentage of bicyclists among the
population Is tremendous. 1t is fact
vouched for by one of the trolley mag
mates, who, by the way, rides wheel
himself and saves car fare, as his road
is run on purely no-pass principles,
that but one road in the city is doing
better than just paying expenses. The
gross receipts of every trolley road
in the place have been reduced fully
one-third by the craze for wheeling,
and as the operating expenses remain
the same despite this reduction OF cus-
tom. the roads find themselves In
bad way.
Conditions almost as unfavorable TO
the trolleys prevail in San Francisco.
Here on account of the hills and the
bad pavement in many streets, the dls-
advantages and discouragements TO the
cyclist are greater. Nevertheless one
of the principle lines of the city alone
is losing 81 900 a month. An omclai
of one of the roads says:
Hundreds of people who used 10
spend thirty cents a day regularly 0
the streetcar lines in this city now own
their own bicycles and save that am
cunt daily. A railroad received that
amount from each regular traveller,
and nearly every traveller now has
wheel, and as a result the railroads get
only the transient travel. These esti-
mates are made from the receipts Of the
road. We find that our out-of-town
line Aas not been hurt as much but our
intown lines has lost one-third or Its
income" :.
Here the. cyclist have added insult
to injury, for their favorite wheel paths
are the nicely paved roadbeds OF the
very trolley lines from which they are
taking the means of support. And
worse yet, IN the cases where the road
beds are not such as find favor In the
ewes of the knights Of the wheel they
are seeking to obtain legislation forc-
ing the companies to bitumenize the
roadbeds. 1t is intimated that every
bicycle sold in San Francisco means Q
loss of 25 cents a day to some one of
the trolley lines. At this rate what
will become of the Brooklyn trolleys
when the bicycle craze reaches its
hight New York Sun.

1t Wasn't News.

A Washington correspondent gives
the Post this story of German pub
Usher in st. Louis: There had been
n big fire directly opposite the office
of his paper the night before. A mag
nifcent building was destroyed, with
all it's contents. The streets in the vi
cinity were filled with people, who so
choked the thoroughfares as to almost
prevent the firemen working. 1t was
the event of the season, in news
sense, and the papers were naturally
filled with articles telling the whole
story.
"The publisher of the paper in ques-
tion, on reaching his Office the next
morning, looked over the papers of his
cotemporaries first. and then, lighting
a fresh cigar, tilted back in his chair,
took up his own paper to read what hc
felt sure would be the best report Of
ALL To his amazement, there was not
a line concerning the fire in his pa
per. When he sufficiently realized the
fact that no mention had been made
of the confiagration he dashed up stairs
to his city editor, and bursting into
the room exclaimed:
"'Why didn't we have a story of the
fire?'
''The city editor, who was German
without a great deal of experience in
this country, looked up calmly and re-
piled:
"'Vat was de uze of brintin' anything
about it? Everybody in town vas
dere to see de whole thing for hisself.' "
