Is SeedIess Fruit Eertilizod?

For some time there has been n be-
lief that seedless fruit is developed
without fertilization by the pollen.
There have been experiments carried
on to determine this and 1t was
thought that the experiments were re-
liable. without doubt the men that
did the work believed that the fruit
was unfertllized and were entirely
sincere in their expressions in that
regard. In South Australia, however,
some very elaborate Investigations

generally. the old belief about the al,
batross had been forgotten by the
sailors aud explorers, but In their
long and lonesome voyages over
waters which were cut by no keel
but their own, and upon whose vast
eNpanse they saw no other sail but
theirs, the present OF the albatross
following the ship day after day be-
came a great souree OF comfort and
companionship.
So II came TO be a belief that III
luck would follow any n who killed
n of these birds: and that belief is
common among seafaring men to this
very day, Coleridge's famous Rhyme
OF the Ancient Mariner" is based up
On this belief.
Though the superstition about the
killing OF an albatross bring bad
luck is only a foolish one. IL has sery'
cd n useful purpose for many years
in preventing the slaughter OF these
beautiful and gallant birds-the sail

Snakes Tail.

Snakes Tail is a game played by
any number Of persons, n of whom
is selected as catcher, and the others
form in single file to represent a
snake, the last player being called
the snakes tail. Each player in the
ale places his hands on the shoulders
of the one in front of him. At the
opening of the game the catcher
stands about 20 feet from the head
OF the file, facing him, and at the
signal tries to catch the tail without
pushing any one in the row. The
snake defends it's tail by moving
about in any way, but If the row
breaks itself it is a foul, and the tail
is considered as caught. When the
tail is caught, he becomes catcher in
turn. and the catcher takes this place
at the head.
Another way of playing the game is
to allow the catcher to name any n
in the row as the one he intends to
catch. If he catches the II named,
they change positions. The player at
the head of the line may stretch out
his hands to impede the catchers
progress, but is not allowed to push
him,

well-established trees, it evidently
prefers to select sickly or newly
transplanted bnes, especially those
whose bark has been injured by en-
posture to the sun. The eggs hatch
within a few days after being depos-
tied. The young larva soon eats
through the bark and proceeds to bore
at some depth beneath the surface,
leaving behind 1t a lattened channel.
Sometimes a single borer will girdle
a tree and cause its death. The larva
reaches its full growth by the end OF
the summer, being then a p~ale-yellow-
ish grub about half an inch long, with
a broad, fiat head. During the winter
it remains quiescent. The next spring
it bores out nearly through the bark,
then moves back a little and under
goes its change into the adult beetle
form the transformation being COM
pleted in about three weeks. The
beetle then cuts an opening through
the bark and escapes to continue the
work of destruction begun by its an
cestors. During the warm part of the
day it may be eel flying about in the
hot sunlight.
There are three ways Of combat
ting the borer: % by destroying the
grubs while they are at work in the
tree; (2) by the application of some
substance that will prevent the eggs
being deposited or will destroy the
eggs and newly Matched larvae, and
CD by wrapping the trees with some
thing that will prevent the females
gaining access to the bark. But, by
the best methods known, borers are
difficult insects to combat. The larvae
make their way into the wood so
oon after the eggs are deposited and
keep SO completely out of sight as
they work, that they may do much
injury before their presence is sus-
pected, and are difficult to kill when
detected. 1t is a case where an ounce
of prevention is most decidedly more
effective and more economical than a
pound of cure.-Arizona Station.

The Wanderinu AIhatross.

OF all the strange creatures seen by
travellers not the least interesting Is
the wandering albatross. This great,
f~eathered wanderer, sometimes meas
uring II feet from tip to tip OF his

declare that they have seen a partic-
ular bird fly for weeks at a time with
out ever being seen To alight upon the
