II was reported in Germany some
time ago that a great portion Of the
blood oranges which are imported
from Italy are colored artihcially. To
test this assertion two well-known
German chemists made many expert
ments in colering oranges. The expert
ments consisted IN injecting the red
coloring matter into ordinary oranges.
The result was that through all ex-
periments not one injection succeeded
In coloring the whole orange proper
fionately When the c0lorlng material
was injected through the skin OF the
fruit. the pigment failed to diffuse
and limited itself 10 the point where it
was introduced. when the coloring
was injected into the poles OF the
orange only the white fibre which is
in the axis Of the orange, was colored,
and sometimes the coloring found its
way between the parts Of the orange.
On the strength Of these experiments
the chemists make the assertion that
the artificial colorlng Of blood oranges
is impossible after picking Il Is
equally Impossible to color the oranges
on the tree by Injecting the colorlng
into its roots. for II would injure the
tree, and the effect Of the coloring
material would be lost before it
reached the fruit

A peculiar case was that Of J. 2.

fornia millionaire. The wife died first.
She was cremated. and her husband

own mingled with his wife's when he

When he did die IL was In Philadel-

were to embalm the body. He had no
sooner embalmed il than he received
orders by telegraph 10 cremate t. So
he cremated II. Then he was instruct
ed TO send on the ashes. bur this he
declined to do until his bill for EN-
balming and cremating had been set
lied
In the mePntime trouble over the
dead mans win had broken out IN
California. and nobody was paying
bills just then. SO a peculiar state Of
affairs came to pass The urn with the
wife's ashes-which ratified lonesOmely
around in their ample receptacle-was
produced as evidence in court, while
the husbands ashes were held IN Phil
adelphia as security for the undertak-
er's bin.
Apropos Of California cremations,
there was that Of Durrant. the young
murderer. The crematories in San
Francisco were so squeamish that they
refused to burn the body. and the
father had TO take It TO Pasadena.
The medical men Of the State had
been keenly interested in the young
man. and were anxious to have the
brain for examination The family
was determined they should not get IT.
So the father did not let the coffin out
Of his sight until he saw It placed in
the retort Of the Pasadena crematory.
Pet animals have sometimes been
cremated. but the prize instance Of
this kind was when a rich London
woman lad a pet Yorkshire terrier,
named Monkey. cremated, and the
ashes placed In q $4,000 urn.

The standard Joke about the French
man who got "extenuating circum-
stances" in his trial for the murder Of
his parents on the pathetic plea that
he was an orphan. says the Westmins.
ter Gazette. is not so FAR removed from
the truth as might be imagined. ac-
cording 10 the story told in the Paris
letter Of the Daily Chronicle A man
was tried for parricide. and the medi-
cal expert declared that the prisoner.
instead Of being punished. was to be
pitied. He was dominated by bysterO-
genie germs and nnti-perlstaltic symp-
toms. and the idea Of ''suppressing his
father for the benefit OF his family
was a thing that grew and had to be
completed. We quite agree that many
crimes arise from physical and mental
defects reacting on each other. but It IS
hard on the unforlunates who are
suppressed" The case reminds one
OF the system in ~Erewhon." where
moral offences are treated as physical
complaints.
