81 By far the largest quantity of fruit
is now canned or put up with light
gar as possible. Preserving depends on
the absolute exclusion from the jars of
germ-laden air and the destruction Of
those germs already present. The fruit
+ may be prepared and placed in jars
standing in a washboiler, In water just
below the boiling point. The jars are
then filed with boiling syrup made by,
cooking equal quantities Of sugar, and
water. Cover the Jars loosely, without
rubbers, and boil the water from twenty
to eighty minutes, according to kind
and condition Of fruit. Take out the
jars, fill to overfowing with lighter
sugar syrup, adjust the rubbers after
dipping in hot water, screw the covers
on tightly and invert the jars to test
4 leakage. AS the Iru1C coos the covers
loosen; test frequently and before stor-
ing screw tightly. The jars need not
be completely immersed if the boiler be
covered, as they will cook by steam, adj
vises Good Housekeeping. Cooking the
fruit longer than is necessary to kill
the germs is unnecessary and injurious,
Jas it shrivels the fruit and spoils the
appearance as well as flavor.

1t seems a curious thought that the
supremacy of Western civllizatlon-the
ascendency Of the wheat-eaters over
the rice-eaters-may ultimately depend
upon the discovery Of some cheap proc
ess Of producing nitrates; but so emil
nent an authority as Sir William Ram
say Is sponsor for the statement. More
than five years ago Sir William
Crookes declared the population Of the
world to be increasing SO rapidly that
in short time the supply Of wheat
would be insufficient. Since then prog
ress has been made In several expert
ments directed toward increasing the
worlds harvest of wheat. Nevertheless.
many scientific men feel that wheat
famine within few generations Is
among the possibilities. Efforts toward
avcrting or postponlng this condition
are directed First. toward Increasing
the acreage-a process which Is self
limited; secondly. toward increasing
the yield per acre by improving the
seed and selecting that which Is best
planted; thirdly. toward increasing the
crop by feeding the plants more gener-
ously with nitrogen through alienation
with nodule-producng leguminOus
plants-a process developed by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture and fourthly, by the manufacture
Of nltrates. For years the supply Of
nitrates has come from Chile, but that
source Is nearing exhaustion. The sew
age Of cities would supply enormous
quantities II there could be found some
method Of saving and applying it
which would not endanger public
health. 1t Is estimated that eighty
million dollars worth Of fertilizer goes
annually to waste In this way In Eng
land alone. The artificial manufacture,
or rather the fiXatiOn OF nitrogen looks
to the air as the great source Of supply.
But the processes now In use are COM
plicated and expensive. Many patents
have been issued. One of the latest
plants Is that at Svaelgfoss. Norway.
in which waterfall OF thirty thousand
horse power has been utilized to gen.
crate electricity. by which nitrogen Is
taken from the air and absorbed by
lime. The resulting calcium nitrate Is
powerful fertilizer. In this prob
lem the young chemists and the young
electricians of today have work
which will tax the ablest and ought to
satisfy the most ambitious.

The Monkeys Intelligence

Nothing is more instructive" said
John Lover, keeper of the Baltimore
100, than to watch young monkeys at
play. These interesting creatures in
vestlgate everything with insatiab BILE
curiosity. They do things startling
enough to convince me that they have
almost human minds.
II had In India young monkey that
learned to put the key in the lock and
unlock the chain that fastened 1t to a
pole. Near this monkey there always
lay brush with a handle that I'M
screwed. In time the monkey learned
to unscrew the handle and then to
screw it In again.
"A friend OF mine In Kensington had
a monkey that he kept chained just

newspapers, roll them into long tapers
and light them in the flames"
