Electricity to Ripen Fruit.

"a method TO ripen fruit by the use
Of electricity is one of the late discov-
cries" H L. Bennett of Mobile. Ala. a
fruit importer. said the other morning
to reporter of a Kansas City Star
The fruit ripened in this way is just
as luscious as when naturally nurtur-
ed. The device will be very useful in
ripening bananas. Bunches of the
green fruit are placed in a glass case,
fitted with electric lights. The fruit is
ripened as needed. This method may
be employed to force the ripening Of
fruit In hotbeds."

The Limit of Life

The most eminent medical scientists
are unanimous in the conclusion that
the generally accepted Limitation Of
human life is many years below the
attainment possible with the advanced
knowledge of which the race is now
possessed. The critical period, that
determines its duration, seems to be
between so and Go; the proper care of
the body during this decade cannot be
too strongly urged; carelessness then
being fatal to longevity. Natures best

CHINESE SHOWING
HATRED OF JAPS

Toxic, Sept. 3.-The uncOnciliatory
attitude OF the Chinese government
toward Japan is gradually increasing
and is now yerging on an anti-Japan-

here at the sudden change of front
by China and the situation at Pekin
is attracting the attention of public
thinkers. It is felt that for the sake

that it is absolutely necessary to i'm
press China with the unreasonableness
OF her present attitude and to send
for that purpose a foremost states
man to represent Japan in China. In
that connection Count Okuma is sug-

farmers earnings are $1,000, 900, 900
greater this year than last, according
to preliminary report on crops which
will be published in the next issue OF

gain will be entirely due to the in
creased prices of farm products, as
the production in general will be fully
10 per cent less in quantity than in
1906, which was the bumper year.
