Raw Potato Causes Court Of Inquiry.

A raw potato was the innocent cause
of naval court of inquiry that bega,
at the League Island navy yard few
days ago, and which may get nineteen
men into trouble. 1t seems that Capt
Goodrich, the commandment of the yard,
was riding bicycle in the grounds
the other day when a raw Irish potato
flew out from somewhere and struck
b i'm in the pit of the stomach. The
blow was a sound one, and the brave
captain was endorsed, or maybe it
would better to say uncYcled. An in
vestigatiOn was at once instituted, and
it was learned that out of certain
squad of nineteen laudsme one OF
them had thrown the potato at auoth-
err Wholly by accident it missed its
legitimate mark and struck the com
mandant in the stomach, not, however,
until it had grazed the nose of Gunner
Morgan, whose social attachments did
not meet the approval of Admiral
Sampson. Now, it is a very serious
matter for mere landsman to hurl a
potato against the stomach of com
missioned officer and Craze the nose of
warrant officer Of the navy; but not
of these nineteen landsmen would tell
who had let fly the unfortunate mis-
sile. Hence the court of inquiry and
the danger to the whole nineteen.

AGRICULTURAL NOVELTIES.
White Oranges, SeedIess Lemons
Grapes an Inch in Diameter.

In a few years White oranges may
grace the American dinner table, says
the Washington correspondent OF the
New York Evening Post. One OF the
explorers of the agricultural depart
ment discovered this freak or nature
in his ramblps along the shores or the
Mediterranean some months ago, ana
brought some cuttings from the tree TO
the United States These were care
fully grated on an ordinary stock at
the department grounds ana are now
three feet high. cutting of this
nIant was sent to Santa Ana, Cal. to
be tried in tLat climate. A couple OF
wears now will see the first fruit II 1t
proves of fine flavor, cuttings will be
widely scattered, and in time the white
orange may be as plentiful as the seed
less orange.
A scedless lemon is another freak. 1t
has been brought in from Corfu, and if
it proves successful will make things
easier for the lemonade man.
The department has a number OF
new walnuts from the Mediterranean,
and a lot of new and queer shade ana
foliage trees from China, Japan and
out of the way corners of the earth,
One of the finest shade trees in Wash
ington, the Ohingko, comes from China,
having been brought by the depart
ment, and much is anticipated from
the latest discoveries.
A new kind Of grape, each an inch
in diameter. growing in punches foot
in length, is another of the discoveries
of the department. A young vine was
recently shipped to California to the
Santa Ana experiment station for trial
purposes. This plant was found in the
mountains of Mexico. 1t is herbace-
Gus, dying down in winter and making
new wood every season. 1t is said to
be only fairly good to eat, but may
profit by cross breeding.

MAScAGNTS RECREATION.
italian Composers Wife Says he
Finds it In the Nursery.

Since Sfgnor Mascagni's advent in
New York he has led strenuous life,
more American than Italian. His
home flock Of musicians was by no
means letter perfect in the scores, and
he has put in the greater part of every
day vigorously rehearsing them, says
the New York Times. He rises about

the Italian in his room-coffee, rolls,
fruit, perhaps an egg-then a smoke,
the papers and down to the Metropoli-
tan Opera House, where he works over
his players and singers until 6. Then
back to the Hotel Savoy, dinner, into
his evening clothes and back to the
Metropolitan.
After the evenings work he goes to
his dressing room, gets from his even
ing clothes into a sack coat and col
ored shirt, drinks apollinaris and. TAX
ing Nine Mascagni, who has been
awaiting him, whisks her off to a
cheerful little supper; then to bed, like
q tired boy.
1t is not very romantic, but it is Wig
orous, virile and edifying. Mascagni
is not eccentric. Some of the stories
written about him have moved his
wife to tears. Nine. Mascagni is an
alert, active and dignified woman, with
a fine figure, clear complexion, soft,
light brown hair and black eyes. When
asked how her husband passed his
time at Pesaro, where they live, what
were his habits, recreatiOns. tastes and
the like, she replied:
''He works at his music, and finds all
his pleasure at home. His greatest
recreation is playing with the children.
He is one himself when so engaged. He
loves to buy some new toy for them
and explain how it works. He has no
diversions except the company of
friends at our home and a game Of
Scopone very like your casinO) or play
ing billiards. We often have ten or
fifteen friends in of an evening. After
they have gone, at IL or II, SignOr
Mascagni works at his musical compo-
sition. He never does anything at this
during the day, but prefers these hours
when he is secure from interruption.
Every day he goes to the conservatory
Of Pesaro, of which he is director, and
remains two or three hours"
Mascagni is a great smoker, getting
away with fourteen or fifteen Tuscans
a day. A Tuscan is a villainously
strong cigar, not of the thin, rattail
kind with a straw i'll the end which
many Italians smoke. He thoughtfully
brought LOCO of these with him to
America, which should last him two or
three months.

QUEER OCEAN VISITORS.
Sailor Tells Strange Yarn About

of miles from land and incidentally re-

developed by trips to foreign ports.

Oct. T." he said, when Zeb Jones, who
was at the wheel, yelled for some one
to come and grab scorpion often his
neck. Sure enough, there was some
thing burrowing under the collar of his
shirt, and some one hit it with marlin
spike without thinking that Zeb was
there too 1t fetched the bug, anyhow,
and so we beat Zeb ON the soles OF the
feet with the spike, which is good for
conclusion of the brain. Before he
came to we found the bug wasn't a
scorpion, but a locust, and in five min
utes more a whole cloud of them came
from the west and settled over every
thing. They had hardly got settled be
fore a swarm of butterflies followed
thousands of 'em-and any pEA that
wasn't occupied by locusts was taken
up with butterflies. Every kind you
ever heard of was there.
"Ten minutes later came the birds,
and that's when Cumso the cat, got
busy. There were jaybirds, reedbirds,
sparrows, redbirds and"-
81 seen two Tyre Birds" grinned the
cook, interrupting.
Several other kinds 1 didn't know, y
continued Whimple, ignoring the insin'
uation.
"There were enough birds there to
have towed this bark in calm. They
pushed the locusts and butterflies aside
and made themselves as comfortable
as able seaman in a boarding house
Cumso lit into those birds and slowed
cargo so fast l was sure he'd founder
Just about the time his eyes began to
bulge out he remembered his friends,
the sailors, and blest if he didn't chase
q lot of reedbirds right into the galley
He never bothered the sparrOWs eX-
cept to knock them out of the way
That's a cat worth making voyage to
see.
THAT afternoon they all left us-lo
Gusts, butterflies and birds. We saw
nothing more of them for three days
when they all came back to us 2oC
miles southeast of Hatteras. 1t was
the same bunch, sure, and Cumso wei
coined 'em. Then they left us again
to take a Ward liner, l think"
