EVOLUTION OF THE ORANGE.

elusive possession of the Latin, Mon

carried to India, then to America and
fell under the improving touch of the
Anglo-Saxon. Bringing together the
Incompatible Jaffa, as seeding from
Palestine, the Melitensis from Malta.
and others, he budded and grated in
Florida until the fruit was brought,
through blending and selection, to the
highest pitch of perfection, as it
seemed, says the Florida Times-Union.
But strangely eBough, there came
out Of the province OF Bolivia, Brazil.

consummate blossoms of perfection
through centuries of waiting on ma
ture by the Latin which the American
accomplishes by s-pollination in
five years-the Bahia or navel orange.
1t had reached the acme of quality not
only in flavor, but also in it's attribute
of seedlessness.
Now, is not that proper food for
the ultimate man; a fruit which has
no progeny, nor future, no possible
function except as a minister to him?
The orange has been called the uni
versal fruit of commerce, and SO it is.
for its aroma carries it unharmed. the |
acrid juices Of its peel protect il |
against insects, it's toughness endures
long transportation, and everywhere
on earth men eagerly seek it's subtle
charm and its exquisite nectar. 4
The orange is not strictly food, but |
it is greater; it is the connecting link
to higher status. the guarantee and
preserver of health and of intellect.

Peculiar Crockery from Chinw That

A little treaty port on the Chinese
coast. known as Swatow, has given
its name to an odd variety Of glazed
earthenware, which, long fayorite

( in the markets OF New York and other
American cities. The name il coinci-
dental, states the New York Post.
Swatow is small place, whose chief
| industry is the provisioning Of steam-
ships and sailing vessels. But It is the
port Of the big city Of Chov Chow Foo,
whose porrlation II said to be q mil
Hon and q hall, and whose industries
are famous in the Chinese empire.
Near the latter are inexhaustible beds
of kaolin. blue, gray, and other fine
clays, which have supplied It's hlns
for centuries Formerly, it exported
its keramic wares overland to Cam
ton.
The opening Of Swatow to the "for-
eign devils" diverted this traffic BY
degrees to the latter port, more es-
pecially that in keramic goodb des-
tined for export to foreign lands. The
wares in question were exhibited in
the Swatow shops, and found custom
ers first in steamship officers and then
il travellers. The stores flourished and
ere long began to export on their own
account. In this way the goods came
to be known as Swatow ware
The. foundation is gray earthen-
ware with thick Opaque glaze, usual
ly sea-green, and the articles are fash
ioned after, or decorated with, marine |
forms. The commonest type is q

crab, lobster, crayfish, rock cod, carp, (
or mullet. The colorature varies. In |
the best specimens an attempt is made

Santa Fe Now Has Heavy Track Be
tween Los Angeles and San Bsrdo.

The Santa Fe company has finished
the relaying of it's track between Los
Angeles and San Bernardino with 82-
pound steel rails. In 1901 20 miles were
laid with 75-pound rails, and since then
the remaining 40 miles have been COM
pleted with the S2-pound rail. This en-
ables trains to make the so miles in two
hours, including stops.
The last of fourteen steel bridges was
recently completed on the line from San
Bernardino to Barstow, leaving only
four wooden structures of the kind. Mr.
Burns plans during the coming year to
replace all wooden bridges between
Barstow and Los Angeles and will leave
only four between this city and San
Diego.
Superintendent Jones of the Southern
Pacific at Tucson, has just issued a bull

capacity, when they are to be carried
over the company's bridge over the Rio

pool it will advance the price more
than that. All the cattlemen want is
competition. Two Independent plants
are now going in at st. Louis. Ours
will be the largest one, of course, but
others will follow. The packers trust
cannot hold such a tight rein as it has
during recent months and expect the
cattlemen and public to submit. To-
day the packers are buying fat cattle
for SIS a head less than they were four
months ago. Still, the price of beef is
making a big profit four months ago
on their stuff. They are making SIS a
carcass more today. All this talk of
overproduction of cattle is rot. If there
is an overproduction, why doesn't the
price of beef fall?
"A few days ago the papers, in CIV
ing an excuse for the low price of cat
tie, sprung the overprOduction theory.
They said that the packers had their
houses full of meat; that they had
enough cattle on hand the first of the
the last of the week. Shippers quit
sending stuff to market for a few days
and the market went up, despite the
fact that the packers claim they had
more stuff on hand than they could
handle. That advance was simply
made the last of the week as bait.
Stockmen grabbed at it and began to
ship for the Monday and Tuesday mar
ket When they got there they found
it lower than ever. When the trust
wants to gouge the cattlemen hard it
advances the market trifie for a cou-
pie of days That means that many
will begin shipping, and when their
stuff gets there the market is off and
thew are the losers
