"The large and beautiful California peaches on sale at the fruit stands for hVe cents apiece sell in California at five cents a dozen," said Colonel Robert Mckee, who spent two summers in the California fruit growing districts. Bartlett pears sell also at five cents a dozen, and apricots at five cents for three dozen. Other fruit sells in proportion Frequently the fruit market in San Francisco becomes glutted especially on Saturdays, and after supplying the hos- pitals free, great quantities of fruit are dumped into the bay by direction of the inspectors. The cause of the dearness Of California fruit in our markets here is the excessive cost of transportation Fruit is sent east on fast trains made up of re- frigerator cars, which reach Birmingham, say, within five days. The railroads exact about $500 feright on each car, and, of course, that makes the fruit expensive here. This cost is a severe tax upon the California fruit industry; and In order to lessen it. persons interested in the business are devoting more attention to canning establishments, which are being erected throughout the fruit territory. Canned fruit can be shipped by regular freight trains at fraction of the cost of transpor- tation in refrigerator cars. They are now successfully canning ripe olives, and these must in time drive imported olives from the American market, as all of this fruit imported is put up green. A ripe olive is somewhat the color of dull brass, and is as much superior to a green olive as a ripe apple is to an apple that is unripe. Cali fornit Is the greatest fruit country in the

The Cologne Gazette" is one of the most
authoritative of German newspapers. That
is. it represents more nearly than most
others the opinions of influential Germans.
When it takes pains to assure its public
that the government will pursue no weak
kneed policy it is suggestive of the strong
feeling against England. 1t makes the
fact apparent that the government Goes

journal admits that the German officials
in Samoa acted Illegally in seiziug the
court house and driving out the Chief Jus
tice, and hopes England and America viii
make the same admissions about their rep

action of Rose and Raffel was the sole
cause of all the trouble. and whatever the

Spook fiction has always existed to a GER
tain extent In literature. The idea Of the
supernatural is as old as man. and being
an important part of his thought. inevita-
bly, formed an element in his literature.
The romances and ballads of the English.
Welsh, Irish, and Scotch. which form the
foundation Of our literature. are full of
fairies. ghosts, goblins, witchcraft, and 9TH
er Misunderstood beings. But the authors
of these old stories never tried to be par
ticularly realistic when they were dealing
with such themes. and therein they showed
their true artistic feeling. The modern au-
thor. who tries to mix the atmosphere Of
the literal. matter of fact. everyday novel
with his imaginings about supernatural be-
ings is making bad literature and telling
lies.
There are undoubtedly some phenomena
which take place on this earth which we as
yet do not understand, and some of these
belong to the domain Of psychological
science. What it was that caused our fore
fathers to see ghosts nobody can positively

either in the undeyeloped nature of the
human mind or in actual electrical or psy-
Geological conditions, for all this immense
literature of the supernatural there can be
no doubt. The laws which govern the
things of the mind are less understood than
those which govern the movements of the
stars. Until the present century these mat
ters were not even made the subject of
scientific study They must of course. be
subject to law. as everything in the uni
verse is. and if there is any author Of talent
who has a burning desire to write spook
fiction. he will be wise to do his best to find
out something about the fundamental prin-
ciples which govern these things before he
attempts to write about them. Otherwise
he will make as great a fool Of himself as
if he were TO attempt to write a novel Of
Japanese life with no knowledge of the
country except that gained from looking
at a Japanese fan. A political economist
once said that we cannot invent future
stages Of the growth of society; they must
be discovered. meaning that the imagina-
tion must not be allowed to run riot in
imaginary Utopias. This is quite as true
in the psychological world.

SDOOk Fiction,

Literary critics are now worrying them
selves over the question. what is to be the
next new fad in fiction. 1t is pointed out
that the erotic novel and the murder novel
have had their day, and the five-o' clock
tea novel is passing. No more do women
with problems like patent medicine adver-
tisements. and men with unheard-of legal
complications in their affections. stalk
through the pages Of the popular romance.
There is also a decline in the novel of bat
