CALIFORNIA TOMATO PLANTS
Three Months After Planting the
Vines Climb to Height of
Twenty Feet.

The largest tomato plants in the
world are found il California. One
grower has three plants which have
reached a length of 80 feet.
In three months from the time the
seeds were planted, says What to Eat,
they had climbed to the top of a 90
foot trellis. When they reached this
remarkable height they grew back
ward until they attained length of 80
feet.
They have no special care or culti-
walton. and have had no protection
from the weather; yet in spite of every
disadvantage they kept on growing
and fruiting in the most astonishing
fashion.
The trunks are one and half inches
In diameter, the foliage thick and lux
uriant. Enormous quantities of toma-
toes have been picked from these three
plants, and the fruit is of unusual size,
possessing fine flavor.

"THE QUEEN OF SICILY"
City Of Syracuse Beyond Compare
Among the Hellenic Com
munities.

William Sharp writes in "The Gar
den of the Sun" in Century: SYRIA
cuse calls itself the capital of the
south, but it has no cause to dispute
pride of placo with Palermo. The
metropolitan city is superior in popu-
lation, wealth and much else, but 1t is
deficient in what its ancient and
glorious rival has in such abundance.
For Syracuse has the supreme charm
of Greece in way that no other city
except Athens has. Not even in Cor
NTH, nowhere in Hellas from Messana
or Sparta In the south to Thebes In
the north, is there any Hellenic town
to compare with "the Queen of Sicily"
AS sanctuary, Delphi Is far more
Impressive than anything in Sicily, as
national meeting place Olympia has
no rival; but nowhere except at
Athens is Greek city to be seen to-
day which has the proud record of the
marvellous metropolis of the Sicilian
Greeks, city as great in power and
wealth and beauty as Athens herself,
and victor at last in the long and fatal
rivalry which indirectly involved the
passing of the Hellenistic dominion Of
all the lands washed by the Ionian
and Mediterranean seas.

Fruit and the Voice.

By ordering his patients to eat heart
lily of certain fruits and forbiddins
them to touch others at all, DIR. Nadal
one of Paris most famous scientists
is treating the threats of the great
opera singers. There is no medicine
at all in his treatment In some cases
he adds nothing to the patients diet
and secures results by forbiddins
them to eat apples and pears. Accord
ing to DR.. Nadal an apple or pear each
day is enough to keep the sensitive
throat out of order all the time. A
singer, of course, notices the first
symptom of throat disorder in the
form of congestion of the vocal cords
These, instead of being white and
thin. like a tendon, become red and
swollen with congestion of blood. The
high notes become difficult and the
quality OF the voice is impaired.

THE lofty. spacious dining-room
was filled with women in pale gowns,
their hair uncovered and their arms
and necks bare, and though these
women were very fashionable, very
aristocratic, they smoked cigarettes
with their coffee as they watched the
bioscope pictures that went on at one
end of the big room and as they lis
tened to the singing that went on at
the other.
"Amid all this feminine smoking
we Americans began to discuss and
to define the word lady Was 1t

a lady ever smoke? What was a

Just Like a Story.

Byssus, of which fine, iridescent
stockings and shawls are made in Sic
lily, is a silk made by fish. The
puma is Mediterranean shellfish that
has an odd little tube at the end of its
tongue. Out of this tube, spider-fash-
ion, or silkworm-fashion it spins silk
thread with which it fastens itself to
any rock that it wishes to adhere to.
When the puma moves on its fasten-
ings, its silaen cable remain behind.
This cable, which is called byssus, the
Sicilian fishermen gather. Byssus
weaves into the softest, finest, sheeni-
est of fabrics, but it is very rare and
expensive.-Popular Science Siftings.

Legends of the klnqfisher.

Many and curious are the legends
of the kingfisher. One of these is to
the effect that the bird was originally
a plain gray in color, but upon being
let loose from the ark flew toward
the setting sun and had its back
stained blue by the sky and its lower
plumage scorched by the sun to gorge
Gus hues. The dried body of the
kingfisher was once used as charm
against thunderbolts and moths, and II
was hung up so that it might point
with its bill to the winds quarter.
