THE SEEDLESS APPLE.
From Our Covent Garden Corr,
pondent.)

iFfON Oui CONent Garden Cores
pondent.D
An attempt was recently made to
create the impression that the Spen-
Ger apple was not seedless. A sam
pie of this pomological curiosity was
put before the committee of the Roy
al Horticultural Society by Messrs.
r. Neitch & Son. the well known nur-
serymen of Exeter. The fruit was
cut and found to be seedless. 1t CON
tanned what was termed a soft core.
but no outer shell or seed envelope.
The claims. then, of the Spencer
apple, as far as seedlessness is con
cened, have been emphatically JUS
titled.
OF course it cannot he expected
that the first permanent form of
seedless apple would be perfect All
newcomers are usually improved up
on by culture, and there is no doubt
that in the near future the Spencer
apple will be turned to profitable ac-
count by fruit tree specialists.
The mystery of the advent of the
seedless apple still continues to baf-
tle the Investigations of the scientists.
One of the leading members of the
K. II. S. says:
AS a seedless variety is incapable
of being improved by cross fertiliza-
tion, it is evident that no develop
ment may be looked for unless it
should be found practical some day
TO secure a seedIess sprout from such
a first class apple as CoX's Orange
Pippin."
These words endorse the opinions
expressed in the article which ap-
peared in the Chronicle a short time
ago, entitled "How the Coreless APP
pie Came" 1t will he remembered
that the introducer of the seedless
apple claimed to be able to eliminate
the seeds from all varieties of apples
in commerce. The claim is big
one, and we contest it,
The seedless apple is a departure
from the type made permanent by
culture. 1t is a wonderful curiosity,
and as such is sure to be planted
freely, if for no other reason.
This week we have been informed
by the introducer of the seedless ap-
pie, direct, that he viii shortly put
another apple on the market which
will excel the famous Baldwin.
The Spencer apple was, after being
tested, awarded a medal at the St.
Louis exposition for seedlessness.

Frozen FINGERS In Summer.

Cne of the most peculiar cases that
has ever come under the observation
of Denver physician came to he
office of DR.. H. H. Martin recently
Mrs. George Rold of Chicago was up
on Rollins pass and disported in the
snow until the train went to Arrow-
head and turned on the wye" and
started back to Denver. 1t leaves the
passenger two hours and forty min
utes on the bleak top of the pass and
all around is wide expanse of snow.
The temptation to make balls of the
summer snow to pelt her companions
was too great to be resisted. and Mrs.
Rold enjoyed the novelty to the full.
When she boarded the train for home
she soon discovered her fingers were
frostbitten. Arriving in Denver her
hands were badly swollen and she was
driven at once to the office of DR..
Martin.
The fingers of the hands were sw OIL
len and the flesh had turned blue. The
pain was very severe, and 1t will be a
week, the doctor says, before Mrs
Rold can use her hands.-DenveI

RAILWAY RATES.
Advantages Possessed by Americans in
Our Low Rates.

Compilations made from foreign and
domestic statistics show a freight rate
on English roads of nearly cents per
mineral ton-mile. The actual figures
are 1893 cents. A ton-mile of merchan-
disc or live stock costs 2.94, and on all
commodities an average of 2.32.
Against these the figures for the
United States are startlingly small be-
ing 0.5S cent On German roads IL is
LAP cents; on French, 1.55; Austrian,
1.16, and Hungarian, 1.30.
England's passenger rates per mile
on the same classes as cited for the
United States were cents, Germany's
3,8 cents. For their average days
wages workmen can travel as follows:
American Go miles; British, So; Ger
man, So; French, 40; Belgian, So;
Italian, 3S and East Indian, 21
On American roads locomotive engi-
neers average 81 day; English, s1.62;
Belgian, s1.01. American firemen get
$2.2S; British, 81 cents; Belgian, ~
cents. Railroad laborers in the United
States get from two to four times as
much as laborers on foreign roads.
Forty per cent. of the gross earnings
of American railroads goes to labor,
while only twenty-five per cent. goes
to capital.
In England labor gets twenty-seven
per cent, capital thirty-eight per cent.
in Germany the division is equal.
In the last four years American roads
paid 1914 100000 for cars, engines, etc.
The roads were capitalized at $12, 1922

The Coming Nation"

Now the American immigration
question in Canada has reached a eli
max, says the Worlds Work. 1t takes
only three years for an immigrant to
earn a vote in Canada, and $4,000 for
mer American voters will soon come
into their Canadian suffrage. There
are in round numbers 100000 males
more than eighteen years of age in
western Canada who formerly lived in
the United States. 100000 of whom are
old enough to vote. There are now be-
tween 100000 and 100000 settlers, with
a possible voting population of 240, 900,
a high percentage because many cat
tlemen without families are emigrat-
ing from Montana and Wyoming. By
the end of 1905 the American vote in
the Canadian West will be overwhelm-
ing.
In eastern Canada thousands of peo-
pie believe that this invasion means
the ultimate annexation of western

Remarkable Garment Worn by Ameri-

Over 10000 postage stamps were
used in the making of dress for an
American lady. which she wore at a
bail at Bermuda a short time ago.
Years had been spent in collecting the
stamps, and three weeks in making
the dress, which was of the finest mus
lin. The lady appealed to her friends
to help her, and the dress was com
pletely covered with stamps of all ma
tions. Suspended from the talons was
a globe made of very old blue revenue
stamps. On either side of the globe
was an American flag. the stripes of
blue and red stamps. A collection of
foreign stamps was pasted on the
back of the bodice in the form of a
shield. the center of which was made
