WAX FRUITS FOR JAPAN.
A Fine Collection to Be Sent by the
Agricultural Department.

AS return courtesy to the Japanese gov
eminent the United States, through the De-
partment of Agriculture is soon to present
to the agricultural department of Japan a
fine collection of the citrous and other
fruits Indigenous to the United States.
At the time Of the Columbian exposition
at Chicago the japanese government had
on exhibition there a fine artificial collection
of the native fruits of Japan, and at the
close of the exposition sent large part of
them, in a handsome native-made case, to
the Agricultural Department in this city.
They are on exhibition there at this time,
and have been of valuable assistance to
students of the fruits of that country.
Those which are to be sent by the
United States to Japan are to be made OF
wax and painted to resemble the natural
fruit, and so close is this resemblance car
ried out that it Is almost impossible to de-
termine the real from the artificial article
when both are placed side by side. The
Japanese work is done in much the same
fashion that by the artisans of the de-
partment in Washington, and the collection
bears striking testimony to the handiworK
of these artists of the orient.
In making the artificial fruits a mold is
made in plaster of Paris: this IS halved
and white beeswax introduced to fill part
of the mold. The latter is then turned on
it's axis until the wax cools. when the mold
is opened and the hollow she'll of wax re-
moved. 1t is then the exact shape of the
fruit which was placed in the mold to get
the design. The artist then takes charge Of
the artificial fruit and paints it to an ca
act likeness of the original. This work IS
the most remarkable of all the details of
making the artificial fruit, and is done
under the direction of Col. Bracket, who
has charge of the division of pomology and
who made the first collection for the cen-
tennial exposition at Philadelphia in 1876.
Col Bracket has had great difficulty in
getting capable artists to do this work az
the salaries paid by the government, and
in this line is an interesting story of Paul
de Longpre, the now world-famous water
colorist.
Some years since De Longpre came to this
country a poor man and applied at the De-
partment of Agriculture for work along the
tines mentioned. He submitted samples Of
what he was capable of doing, but they
were not considered good enough by the
persons in charge. and he could not get
the position he sought, and which paid
81 900 a year He left, discouraged and
went to California. In the dozen years
since that time his work has been recog-
nized as unequaled In the treatment of
flowers by water color, and the department
signs when it thinks what it lost.
There are two artists and several cX-
perts at work now on the collection deS-
tined for Japan, and it will be ready some
time early in the fall and be sent to that
country. In the collection are pears, APP
pies, peaches. ounces. plums, oranges,
melons and the like, the whole probably
numbering, when completed. more than
hundred varieties of our native fruits.

the testimony Is to the circumstances I'M
der which Mrs. Katherine Ives Shaffer. d.

death. Several additional eye-witnesses
were brought before the jury by Assistant
District Attorneys Turner and keigwin.
The cross-examination by Mr.. Henry E.

counsel for the accused. was directed
toward the apparent mental condition OF
the defendant at the time he is alleged to
have committed the crime.
John G.. Norris of 401 Fl street northwest
was the first witness called this morning.
Norris said he had seen Shaffer lettering
around the corner of 4th street and MaSsa-
chusetts avenue every evening for week
or ten days prior to the murder. The even

corner early as o'clock. He was lean
