COLORING ORANGES.
How 1t Is Done In Chicago With Heat
and Initiation Frost.


and Imitation Frost.
From the Chicago Tribune.
1t may seem paradoxical on first hearing
that Chicago offers a better imitation of
the Florida night air than the peninsula
state can itself provide, but that is the de-
duction that orange dealers of this city
have come to. Florida oranges that have
hung for mouths on trees In their native
state waiting for some cool evening breeze
to turn them yellow are brought here, and
In a few nights acquire color that sur
passes fondest expectations. South Water
street. the ripening place Of Michigan
peaches, Wisconsin eggs and Central
American bananas. furnishes the delicately
shaded atmosphere that accomplishes this
result. Practically all the Florida oranges
that are sold in this market from the
opening Of the season until after Christmas
are ripened in Easements of commission
houses along the street, and are there
given the color that enables them to com
mand high prices.
1.-The public demands Florida oranges
long before the groves are ready to furnish
them. said an orange man. for a COM
mission house. Those oranges grow big
and sweet and yellow on the trees down
there If you give them time, but they do
not attain their best color until the nights
are cool. So they are picked green and
shipped up here in carload lots. Here they
are taken from the cars and put in the
ripening rooms, where they are subjected
to temperature Of from IS to 100 degrees
They are stacked. with air space between
the boxes, and the heat gets all through
them and quickly forces them to ripeness.
When they have attained the proper stage
the heat is shut off and then big electric
fan Is brought into play. The doors are
opened. and through the spaces where the
hot air went before the frosty ozone of
Chicago is pumped. This turns the oranges
yellow quickly, just as the later nights
would have done in Florida"

Efforts to Have Garrison Stationed at

From the Denver News
The people of Santa Fe are making an

soned. From military standpoint there
Is no necessity for troops at that post but
there are good historic reasons for retain
Ing 1t as military station Fort Marcy
Is the Oldest of the posts Of the far south
western frontier. The original buildings,
long since gone to decay, were on a bluff
overlooking New Mexico's ancient capital
They were laid out by Brigadier General

tion Of the city, and their construction was
Degun by Colonel Doniphan's 1st Missouri

the most distinguished men in the mill

sides cannon frowned down on Santa Fe,
new buildings were constructed at tie base
OF the bluff. The post was named after

made for the restoration of the post. There

Future Sources of Coffee,
ram Fra ms Mace


According to the treasury bureau of sta
tisttcs. ''the people of the United States are
sending out Of the country more than ST.
100000 week in payment for coffee con-
sumed In this country, all Of which could
be readily produced in Porto Rico. Hawaii
and the Philippine Islands. which have al
ready shown their ability to produce cof-
fee OF high grade. commanding good
prices in the markets Of the world. Porto
Rican coffee has long been looked upon as of
high grade, and for many years has COM
manded high prices in the markets of Eu-
rope; and the developments Of coffee cul-
ture In Hawaii during the past few years
have also been very satisfactory In the
quality of coffee produced and the prices
realized. In the Philippines the product is
of high grade, and the fact that in physical
conditions and climate the islands are very
similar to Java, the greatest coffee-pro-
ductng region of the world, suggests great
possibilities to those who desire to see
American money expended under the Amer
ican flag. The fact that the United States
Is by far the greatest coffee-consuming
country Of the world. and is steadily in
creasing her consumption, further suggests
that American capital and energy may
turn their attention to this promising field
now opened in the islands where American
enterprise can. safely invest in business
ventures"
