FATHER OF CONCORD GRAPE
Memorial Proposed to Massachusetts
Man Who Originated the
Variety.

A movement has been started look.
ing to the erection of a memorial to
Ephraim Bull, the originator of the
Concord grape. Mr.. Bull found grape
vine growing wild in the woods and
transplanted it in yard in Concord,
Mass. From that vine, which is still
growing in the place where M. Bull
set it, has sprung the entire Concord
grape industry. Autumn and grapes
soon will be here. 1t is an appropriate
time TO start such movement.
1t is proposed to secure enough
money by voluntary contributions both
to put up monument to Mr.. Bull and
to give perpetual care to the old vine
which he tended with such skill and
effect. Grape vines are extremely long
; lived. In California there are some
which are certainly several hundred
years old. There seems hardly any
limit to the time they will survive and
remain healthy and fruitful if properly
tended. The plan of maintaining Mr..
Bulls vine in perpetuity is not, there
FORE SO impracticable as it might seem
to persons unfamiliar with grape cul-
tdre.
The Concord grape is peculiarly
hardy and prolific. The growing of it
has expanded into an extensive and
highly profitable industry, and it is the
progenitor of several other fine grapes.
Every year Concord grapes are con-
verted into thousands of cans of jel-
lies and jams, while carload upon car
load of them are eaten raw. A fruit
which is source of so much profit to
some and of SO much gustatory joy to
all should have many warm friends,
and these friends should unite to do
honor to the man to whom they owe
SO much.

The Erie Railroad has arranged for the
immediate expenditure of $225,OOO for the
installation OF the most modern and ef-
ticient railway signal that has yet been
put on the market. It is known as the
Hall Electric Semaphore Normal Clear
System, and is operated by stationary stor-
age batteries; The line between Bergen,
n. j., and Middletown, a distance Of IS
miles, is to be equipped at once. For
the first 81 miles, the signals will be put
two-thirds of mile apart; for the rest
OF the distance, about one and one-third
miles apart. It will require five power
plants for charging the batteries, which
will be located at Rutherford Junction,
Ridgewood Junction, Suffern, Oxford and
Middletown. The line to be protected has
two and four tracks at different places,
and is the most congested part of the Erie
System. Hitherto a manual block, which
is tower with signals operated by a
towerman, has been used as a block pro-
lection, but it has been deemed best to
install! an automatic system for further
protection, and to accelerate the move
ment of trains. The new system will be
extended over the entire line in the future.
