THE WATERMELON NET.

: The invention Of the watermelon net
was due primarily to a change in the
shape of waterGnclons. Years ago the
great majority of watcrmelons were
much longer than they were thick.
Then when a man carried home the
watermelon which he had bought the
dealer took IL turn around one end OF 1t
with stout cord, carried the cord
along to the other end, and took IN
other turn there, and the connecting
length of cord between the loops
served as handle, while the shape OF
the melon kept the loops from slipping
off. But with the change Of the melon
TO the shorter, chubbier shape now
prevailing this plan was no longer pos
