Going on in Plant Life-Work of
 Practical Men.

Seedless fruit, thornless roses. she'll less nuts-these luxuries will be common In few years, if predictions are verified.
 The method of growing fruits. nuts. and vegetables are undergoing a revolu- ton It is believed that even the cores and skins can be practically done away with. By saving the strength of the plant used up in this way, the fruit will be grown larger and with finer flavor.
 The seedless orange is so far the most successful of the fruits experimented on It is the result of years of cultivation
 Apples and pears have been grown without seeds. The fruit so far obtained is smaller than ordinary varieties and lacking in flavor. With few years more of cultivation it is believed that seed less apples and pears will be as common as seedless oranges.
 Currants and grapes are grown in large quantities without seeds.
 A great deal more attention is being paid to the cultivation of nuts than ever before. Experiments in growing chestnuts larger than the ordinary wild nuts have been successful. The object of nut grow ing now Is not so much to grow larger nuts as to do away with the shell and the thick walls which separate the kernel
 An Ohio owner has already succeeded in growing hickory nuts with shells so thin that they can be broken by the hand

 For forty years, visitors from all over the world have viewed Cabin gohn Bridge as one of the sights of Washington. It is one of the most daring and unique monuments to engineering skill in this country. / It is the largest single arch stone bridge in the world. History re- cords hut one bridge or stone arch great CT than this. It spanned the Adda, trt- butary of the Pc, at TreZzo in Northern in 1880. In the year 1427 n, was destroy ed by the Italian general Carmagno!a. This briage consisted of ia single stone arch of granite with span of 251 feet. The span of Cabin John Bridge is only 210 feet, but it is still the largest single span stone arch in the, woI and as such is a magnificent monuments to it's builders. .. .~ts
 Conflicting stories are told as to how the name of Jefferson Davis came to be cut off this great engineering triumph. which was begun under his direction, and which is undoubtedly due in a great measure to his skill. since it was his duty to superintend and approve or disap- prove of the plans of his subordinates. The late Gen. Montgomery C. Meigs, then only a lieutenant of engineers, was the officer in direct charge of the erec- ton of the bridge, which carries the Washington aqueduct, conveying the en- tire water supply of the city. acroes a deep ravine. Lieutenant Meiss at first proposed to have a masonry bridge with six piers and arches, but for some req son the plans were changed and he re- ceived permission tJ make the attempt to build single stone arch-a feat pie turesoue and daring because 1t was ab solutely unprecedented. The plans fo' that bridge must have been carefully ex- amined by Jefferson Davis. because had the project failed he would have been blamed for permitting Lieut.. Meigs to take such long chances of success. How ever Davis did approve, and when the success of the bridge was certain, this tablet was placed in the masonry near the summit: "- q
