cy, and am 10th to claim too much for
1t, but from the tests we have made it
is reasonable to believe the system Of
boraX preserving. will play an impor-
tant part in the commercial world.
There is another question involved
in this discovery that is quite as valua-
BILE in its way as the waste question:
and that is the ability it affords to pro-
duce fruits out Of their natural season.
Cherries in the autumn and figs at
Christmas. How would that be?
There is money in furnishing fruits out
Of season for any one who wants to take
up that line Of business. No, / have
not yet considered the possibility OF go
ing into the business myself, but am
confident 1t would be lucrative one. l
have not yet gone that far with my
plans but may put up a warehouse for
that purpose near the borax refinery in
Alameda. The cost of shipping fruit by
slow freight is small, and / don't see
why farmers should mot pack their own
crops and sell from their own places.
i have not yet experimental with
berries, but am inclined to think they
would not be a success. They are so
soft and the juice Is too near the sur
face. Neither have I experimental
with vegetables, although believe they
would stand the borax and keep per-
fectly. The possibilities of this mode Of
preserving are marvellous, After this
season we will know pretty thoroughly
what there is in 1T, Oregon, Nevada
and California abound in borax and
why shouldn't people who have small
deposits of this salt on their places use
1t for preserving their crops?"

It. NJ. Smith says That Fruit Can BE Kept
Fresh for Weeks When Packed in Salt
Sent Fresh Cherries to CbicagO-The Ex-
| pertinent u Success and Now he is Pack
Ing Barrels That WIN be Shipped to the
Eastern Markets.
[I7rom the San Francisco Examiner.l
Frank M. Smith, the borax king. be-
lfeves that he has solved the problem of
preserving fresh fruit so 1t can be put
on the eastern market in a satisfactory
condition.
For some time he has been expert
menting with borax and finds the in
gradients of that salt peculiarly adapt
ed for precluding vegetable decomposi-
ton.
The discovery is the result OF a sug-
gestion made to Mr.. Smith one day
while lunching with a friend. The gem
tlemen were discussing the success that
had attended the experiment OF borax-
ing fresh meat, when Mr.. Smith was
asked why he had never tried preserv-
Ing fruits in the same way. He said it
had never occurred to him, but that at
ternoon he gave the subject so much
thought that as soon as he returned to
his home in East Oakland he packed
several pounds Of cherries in box Of
powdered borax This box was placed
in the cellar and alongside of 1t he put
a large glass dish filled with the same
kind Of fruit. Then he awaited develop
ments. The next day he visited the
cellar and found the cherries In the dish
were beginning to turn. In three days
they were so decomposed that it was
necessary to throw them away. In or
der to make a good test he determined
not to disturb the packed cherries for
three weeks. At the termination of
that time the box was opened and the
fruit was found as fresh and in as good
condition as when first placed there.
Mr.. Smith was amazed and he was
delighted over the result and deter
mined to experiment on a larger scale.
He had a quantity of cherries packed
in barrel of borax and sent to Chiea-
go by slow freight. Last week he re-
ceived a telegram saying the fruit had
arrived in perfect condition and was
bringing surprisingly high prices.
Since then a number of barrels of
cherries have been packed in borax and
are now ready for shipment east. AS
fast as the different varieties of fruit
ripen experiments will be made by
Frank G. Havens at Rose Crest Villa,
his place at Vernon Heights, oakland
The experiments will be on an extensive
scale. AS the experiments on the diff
ferent fruits prove successful barrels of
the fruit will be packed and sent to the
east and Europe. Whenever an expert
ment Is pronounced successful 1t will be
published for the benefit of growers and
commission men who may wish to pre-
serve their stock.
There is no patent on this discove-
ry" said Mr.. Smith yesterday; ut is
free to all. regard 1t of the utmost
value In the working out of the problem
of domestic economy. The same borax
can be used over and over again, and
think of the amount of unnecessary do
nestle waste that will be avoided by
fruit this way Private
as well as hotels and restau-
rants, can have their borax bins 1t
small expense In which they can con-
stantlN keep an assortment of fresh
fruit.

Fashion NOTES.
Commented by Cleansers.


An extravaganza of the season is the
number of dresses appearing that will
soil promptly and yet that cannot be
washed in the ordinary way. Whole
gowns are made Of frail gauze gathered
into innumerable pleats and falling like
a foamy avalanche over a lining of
white lawn. The bodice is further Ella
borated by row on row of narrow lace
inserted in perpendicular ruffles that
hide themselves between the softly
crowded pleats. When this idea is car
ried out in dazzling white the effect is
really that Of freshly fallen snow, the
many folds and edges offered by pleats
and lace seeming to- heighten the white
ness to perfect glitter of purity. wis
is glitter that must be faultlessly in
tact or the gown is ruined, and it would
seem that one wear would be all such a
rig could sustain. Then what? The
cleansers. To count up the original
cost of such a gown together with the
expense of keeping it clean will be to
swamp the average girl into hopeless
envy of her whose purse is long enough
to sustain this dazzling purity.
Luckily all white dresses are not so
made that they cannot be put into the
tub, and them there are host of sum
merry colored stuffs that are available
for attractive costumes. New devices

of speculation must be at hand when
that old and familiar swallow known
as the New York and New England
mystery is again seen flying about
Perhaps those who set it flying do not
consider it swallow, heralding sum-
mer, but look upon 1T as a dove sent
forth to test the condition of the spec
ulative waters and to discover some
thing green. But be it a swallow or a
dove, it is emphati bird.
For some weeks past the stock of
the New York and New England has
been quietly absorbed by brokers work
ing in the interest Of banking houses
identified with the Vanderbilts and New
York and New Haven interests, and in
this way a sufficient amount Of stock
has been obtained to secure control"
Chamcey M. Depew says there is moth
ing in the story, and John M. Hall says
the same thing. Wall street hasn't said
much yet, and Fair Haven, though ag-
itated, is not talking. What to-day will
bring forth remains to be seen. Per-
haps it will bring forth little New
York and New England stock if there is
any call for it.
Confidence is fully restored, accord
ing to the headings of the market re-
ports. The promulgators of the latest
New York and New England bird must
have been reading those headings.

The beauties Of Michigan avenue, the
Boulevard, and the lake-front in Chi
cago are famous. and every one who
has seen these attractions remembers
that the one ching that mars the pleas
ure Of 1t all is the proximity of rail-
road tracks and noisy locomotives. 1t
Is welcome news, them, to hear that
some of the property-owners of this
district have organized for the purpose
Of making such land improvements on
the lake-front as will almost complete
ly conceal the railroads from the rail-
road tracks and cars from the sight of
those walking or driving along the
Boulevard. The elevation thus made Is
to be beautified with turf, trees, and
shrubs. When, in the course of time,
the submerged lands east Of the tracks
come to be improved also, they will be
connected with the territory west of
the tracks by viaducts, and the city
will have beautiful downtown park
on the verge Of the lake which Will
be one of the most attractive of its
.pleasure-grounds. The work will be
accomplished without expense to the
city, and the men who undertake it will
not ask to have the property pass from
the citys control. All the improve
ments will be presented to Chicago as
a free gift.

The stimulating effect of hot water
has been very simply explained by a
recent investigator. Alcohol or any
other similar stimulant produces the eff
feet of heat by acting on the heart
or other muscles of circulation, increas-
ing the motion of the blood. This is
followed by a reaction which does not
ensue when hot water is used as a
ptimulant, because the particles of the
water are already in a very rapid mo-
tion as a result of external heat ap-
piled tothem, This motion is commune
Gated to the blood as soon as the water
enters the circulation, and it gives the
same effect Of stimulation as is produc-
ed from alcohol-except, of course, that
alcohol is an intoxicant as well as a
stimulant.

The Supreme court Of Pennsylvania
has just taken the point off an exceed
hng1y fine construction Of the Sunday
treating law in that State. One Sun
day, two years ago, just before election,
when the police were specially vigilant,
a resident of Quakertown visited two
friends and gave each one a sip of
whiskey from a pocket flask which he
carried. He was arrested, convicted
and sentenced to fine and Imprisonment
on the ground that while he might have
given the whiskey to friends in his own
house, 1t was unlawful to furnish 1t in
the home of another. The man was a
prominent citizen, and managed to es-
cape the Imprisonment, but paid the
fine and appealed the case. The Su-
preme court has just reversed the deci~
sion, and declares that it is lawful for a
man to treat his friends to a drink on
Sunday in any place.

An interesting account is given of
the application of water-power in pro-
ducing electricity for use in gold-dredg-
ing in Shotover river, New Zealand.
The water is obtained at creek one
and half miles distant from the dredg-
ing ground and brought by a race cut
in the side of a hill, or, in places where
the ground is not suitable, in a timber
fume to a pressure tank at a. level of
524 feet above the pipes at the generator
house. From this tank the water is car
ried in rolled steel pipes to a Peltonl
water wheel, which drives the dynamos
by which the dredge is actuated. The
dredge is constructed for the most part
of steel and is capable. when operating
at depth of 20 feet, of an output of

Washington, May 13.-The phase of the
important pending question between Eng
land and Venezuela. in which the United
States has interviewed to ask arbitration,
is involved in the demand of the state
department for the resignation of United
States Minister Hazleton, of Venezuela,
on serious charges made by Admiral
Meade.
The minister today referred to Admiral
Meade's address as something more than
an expression of the usual official cour-
tesies and declared it conveyed the gen.
eral impression that the United States
senators were there as an evidence of
the political policy Of the United States.
It was stated at the White House to-
day the action taken in the case of Min
lister Hazleton would not be recalled and
that Mr.. Hazleton would not return to
Venezuela as minister of the United
States.
1t is stated authoritatively that the
intervention of Mr.. Smalley will not
avail anything in Mr.. Hazeltons case
and at the state department it was
said that Admiral Meade's charges
were substantiated by the testimony
of all the officers with the admiral.

FREE SILVER OR BUST.
That Must Be the Warcry of the Re-

Denver. Colo. May 13.-Following
upon the lecture of ex-Congressman
Bland in this city, the following ed
itorial published in the Denver Times
Rep) tonight attracted considerable
attention:
Senator Henry NJ Teller sounded
the keynote for the next national
campaign in Colorado in his short
speech at the Bland silver meeting
last Saturday night. 1t was not so
much a splendid war cry TO the Re-
publicans, however, as general
warning TO the members of all parties
to rally round the one flag under
which there is hope for the return of
national prosperity.
when Senator Teller announced
that he had cast his last vote for any
presidential candidate who was op-
posed TO free silver. or lukewarm in
its interests, he did it with the knowl-
edge that the Republican party of
Colorado stood as one man at his
back.
