Jack Webb, Of the o. r. & N. Co., is
distributing among his friends sam
pie of new fruit that is grown in
the Burnt river country, which is IA
nous for its fruits of all kinds. The
new fruit is cross between prune
and peach. 1t is very nearly the
shape of a tomato, It'tastes like
peach aud has smooth skin. 1t is
dark red in color and attractive to
both eye and palate. The worst thing
about 1T is its name, which is prunuf-
simonis. Where that name came
from nobody will eyer know. 1t prob
ably was dug up in the fossil beds Of
Burnt river or the John Day.-East

Photography and Counterfeits.

The ingenious Frenchman who In
vented color photography has given the
treasury department. of the United
States big scare. 1t is recognized by
the wutchdogs of the treasures Of the
world that if his invention should get
into the hands of counterfeite1s the
financial system of every nation en-
ploying notes as circulating medium
would be threatened. Photography has
always been the bane Of the officials
whose business il is to circumyCnt the
ingenious devices OF countcrfeiters, and
for ten years secret service agents the
world over have been watching in fear
and trembling for the invention of proc
ess which would reproduce singly or in
combination the different colors and
tints of the solar prism.
Already counterfeiters are able, by
means of photo-engraving processes, to
make exact duplicates of the backs Of
bills, whether they be in green, blue,
black OF any other color. But the seals
and check numbers, printed over the
scroll work of the face in different col
ors, have hitherto thwarted them. They
have been obliged to expunge these seals
and check numbers with acids. These
acids naturally ruined the scroll worl;
below the overlaid colors, leaving II
space which the rogucs had to re-cn-
grave or put in with brush or pen. The
results of such primitive methods were
easily detected by experts. But the col
or photography opens immense rossibil-
tiles in the hands of clever men. Given
parer of similar quality-and they
make paper that would deceive an ox-
pert-thcre is nothing to prevent II

The Battle OF Redonda.

Not far from st. Thomas, matter Of
perhaps 100 miles, was fought the most
wonderful naval battle in all history
The Dutch admiral detected the enemy
in the early morning, when the sea was
covered with thick mist, and his guns
opened fire at once without warning.
The fire was returned with interest, the
ocean fairly quivering with spasms
caused by the shock of frequent dis
charges. Somehow or other the enemy s
shots, which sounded like IA lombard
ment, seemed to fall short or go wide
of the mark, for not even splash of a
ball was heard, and the Dutch ships re-
mained unsoathed. On the other hand,
the Dutch could not see the terrible ex-
scution their guns We're doing until
nearly the middle Of the forenoon, when
the fog lifted, revealing to their aston
ished gaze not the vessels Of the enemy,
but great rock standing out of the sea.
They had been firing at it for five hours,
and the sound Of the return shots they
heard was the echo from the solid wall
Of granite, They named the place Re-
donda, which means sent, rolled OF
driven back, and Redonda it is to this
day. York Press.
