and pineapples 8, on the average. Few
fruits contain fats, the avocado except
ed.
Many fruits include among their
cOmponents organic acids, which are
more or less refreshing, and often have
important effects in the preservation
Of health. Vegetarians who conform
to a diet made in great part of fruits,
consume nuts, etc, in sufficient guam
titles to supply the deficiencies of pro-
teids and fats in the fruits In the
case, for instance, Of one of the most
nutritious Of fruits, the banana, it
would be necessary for man to eat
about thirteen and a half pounds every
day to get the amount of proteid ne
cessary to keep his body in condition
while doing normal work. This would
give him more sugar than he required.
There is no reason why fruits should
not be considered more as actual foods
than as pleasure giving accessories,
and, when the cost will allow, they
should have more prominent posi-
ton in the diet of many, combining,
as they do, from dietary standpoint,
pleasure with profit.

Food Value of Tropical Fruits.

In the Hawaiian Forester and Agri-
culturist, for October, 1906, there is
an article by DR.: E. C. Shorey on the
food value of tropical fruits.
He defines fruits as "those heshy
seed-bearing plant products which are
eaten simply for their agreeable taste,
as an accompaniment to or to give
relish to other food" However, be-
sides being agreeable accompaniments
to staple foods, it is shown by anal
yses that fruits have some food value
of their own; that they contain more
or less digestible proteids, carbohy.
drates, or fats. But fresh fruits con-
sist usually in great part of water,
which forms nearly 90 per cent of
oranges and pineapples, and more than
IS per cent. Of many other tropical
fruits. Fruits have very small amount
Of proteid, nitrogenous or meaty mat
ter, and SO fail Of being complete foods.
Thus bananas contain I.3 per cent,
avocados 10, oranges o.8, and pine
apples only o.4 per cent. of this i'm
.portant ingredient The chief food
value of ordinary fruits lies in the
carbohydrates (chiehy sugars) which
they contain. OF these, bananas have

The Sea of Oranges.

A sea covered with oranges is one
Of the unusual attractions near this
city, at the mouth of the Santa Clara
river. Thousands upon thousands of
oranges floating on the oceans Sur
face, many of them strewing the
beach, give an indescribably beautiful
golden hue to the sea.
There was wonder for some time
as to how the oranges got into the
sea. The belief was general that they
came from washed out orchards in the.
east end of the county, owing to the
high storm waters in the river. This
is not the case, however. The oranges
were deliberately thrown into Me
Sespe Creek from the Sespe bridge,
twenty-five miles back from the coast.
From the Sespe they found their way
back into the Santa Clara river and
thence to the sea-
The oranges are from the great
packing houses in the Sespe country.
Fhey are known as culls, but most of
them are good, or were when dumped
off the bridge. 1t is claimed that only
the best oranges can be shipped and
sold.-Los Angeles Times.

Some Things That Will Grow in
Florida Sand.

Under this heading the Palm Beach
News tells of some experiments which
have been tried in that city:
The best way to find out if any
thing will grow in Florida sand or
not, is to try it, and those who have
done so, have often surprised, not only
themselves, but their neighbors by the
results.
This statement can be verified by
a visit to the yard in the rear Of
w. E. Grifin's store, on Clematis ave-
nue., few doors west of the railroad,
where some surprising results are to
be seen of some trials made by Mr.
Griffin.
This gentleman came here about two
years or so ago, and located with his
sister where he is now, buying out
r. B. Spratt, the former owner. He
found few flowers and other things
trying to grow in his newly acquired
yard, and expressed determination
to see if he could not make them grow
better and also raise more and better
fruits and flowers. He was told that
Florida sand would raise pineapples,
but that in this section, grapes, peaches
and such things would not grow
AS he had limited space he could
not grow many kinds nor many things
of one kind, but he decided to ex-
pertinent with grapes especially, as he
was told they would not grow here,
and also with peaches, and the result
has been that he already has two or
three peach trees in bearing and has
Thompson's Seedless, Zinfandel, Rose
of Peru, Black Hamburg, Old Mission,
Black Barbarosso, Black Morocco, and
Verdell, all of which he procured from
California, and every vine seems to
be doing we'll, some of them having
made growths of good, strong, heavy
vine, eight, ten to fifteen feet in length
already this season. He also has Soup
pernong and Key West grapes, the for
mer in bearing.
Besides these, he has a Japan per-
slmmOn tree with fruit on it, melon
papaws that have been bearing ever
since spring; some fine California pep
per trees, one Of which, I6 months
old, is 9 inches in circumference and
over 10 feet high; California man.
moth blackberry vine )Guatemala
guava, avocado pears, mangOes, fig,
rose apple, guava and other trees and
shrubs, besides flowers of many kinds,
including fuSchias and roses, and all
raised in Florida white sand, with the
help of little fruit and vine fertilizer
and sprinkler, and only worked when
a lull in business would give him time
to attend to the wants of his garden
Such results as these show that the
only way to know what Florida sand
will do is to try it and find out, as
mentioned in the haOinninn of +Iic
article land not take other peoples
say-so as a criterion If this had been
done by the pioneers, this would still
have been barren country, for the
first settlers were told nothing would
grow here-nOt a vegetable, nor any
citrus fruit or pineapples, but they
took no mans word but experimental
at some cost Of time and money, and
this garden spot Of the world is the
result of their efforts.

General Wright on Japan.

General Luke r. Wright fresh from Japan,
~ not impressed with the talk OF war be-
tween that country and this. He resided
there long enough to inform himself about
japanese conditions. and these he describes
In a way to arrest attention.
While there is nothing new in what Cen
eral Wright says, it is of value because OF
has opportunities of observation. AS am
bassador of the United States he was in
touch while in Japan with the highest
sources of sentiment in the empire, and
from these was enabled to draw a correct
conclusion as to matters of weight re-
speeding the country and its policies.
Everything worthy of consideration sup
ports General Wright's appraisement of the
situation Far from being belligerent, ia
pan is really In a pacific mood. Her sue
cess In the war with Russia imposed heavy
obligations on her, and these In her own
interests she must meet. Her debt is enor

General Wright found only a feeling of
true friendship for the United States. And
why not? Neither the ''yelIows' there nor
the ''ycllows' here have been able to dis

have held the two countries together AL

ness affairs OF the great corporations, but
there is also conservative feeling in many
quarters that publicity might operate harm
fully to many innocent interests. In this
connection a distinction should be drawn
between publicity in the sense of the full
spreading of the details before the public
and a publicity in the sense OF giving the
representatives of the people access at all
times to the records.
The laws today forbid certain proceedings
in the management of public service cor
porations. yet 1t Is difficult to secure evil
dence of the guilt of those who violate the
statutes. The laws also require certain per-
formances of the transportation and neces-
sity-producing companies enjoying the use
of public spaces and conveniences. yet 1T is
found to be extremely difficult to enforce
them in the absence of a full and exact
showing of the methods of management and
the cost of service or production. Annual
reports are, to be sure, required of some
corporations. Locally. the traction, gas and
telephone companies are compelled to file
annual reports of transactions. expendi-
lures. earnings. etc. but these reports
prove of little actual value as far as the
disclosing of mysteries of corporation
finance are concerned. If the books of the
sentatives of the municipality or of Con-
gress, serving in this instance legisla-
tive body for the District. there would be
less difficulty in reaching conclusions just
to both public and corporations regarding
the cost of service and production and the
propriety of rate reductions.
In any case. whether this step is taken or
not, the statutes designed for the safe
keeping of books evidently require strength
enrg. 1t Is obviously absurd that the stat
ute Of limitations should run against such
an offense as the deliberate destruction of
records of this character. Indeed, 1t is rare
that such books and papers are required for
legal or legislative purposes until after the
expiration of two three years. Thus the
average destruction enterprise in the case
of a corporation seeking to cover up the
records OF dubious transactions would be
entirely safe In the very terms of the law
forbidding such an act.

w Washington.

Booker T. Washington always talks well
and to the point. and his remarks at Con-
vention Hall last night were in his best
vein. His message to his race Is far and
away the best that it receives. 1t does
not vary. but great force and benefit at
tend the repetitions. For the negro, for
his own and the general good, cannot hear
too often. or ponder the fact too deeply,
that his highest interests call for fitting
himself for the practical affairs of life and
acquiring a home and an independence. AS
far as possible he should make himself in
dispensable in the fields of labor; and to
the extent that he does that he advances
all of his prospects. and helps to soften
the asperties of the more unreasoning and
unreasonable phases of race prejudice.

Pittsburg Speed-CraZy.

PittsbUrg's superintendent of police puts
tie case against the motor car speed
maniacs in impressive form in the follov- g
interview, just published
The automobile owners of Pittsburg and
vicinity have gone speed-CraZy. In spite
OF the fact that several have been killed
and many injured in the last two weeks,
the work of blood and death goes on. The
lives of our people are in danger at every
turn. The people of PIttsburg are at pres
ent divided into two classes, owning
autos who are trying to break their own
and other peoples necks, and the others
who are trying to dodge. We have tried to
stop this speeding, but We seem to be pow
erless. II appears that when a sensible
business man of Pittsburg buys an automo-
bile he becomes inoculated with the speed
mania. which cannot be checked. We have
passed laws. but men who respect every
other law laugh at these. The other day
l had before me one of the most prominent
business men of Pittsburg for speeding his
automobile. He seemed very sorry, and
believe he was sincere. He paid his fine
and promised never to speed again. When
he left my office he got into his automobile
and started out the boulevard at a speed
OF forty miles an hour. The city is auto
crazy. that's all"
As striking commentary on the situa-
ton in Pittsburg in this matter comes a
verdict by a coroner's jury sitting in the
case OF one Of the recent victims of the

Hughes and Harrison.

Says the Syracuse. n. Y, Post Standard:
"In recent years our American public life
has perhaps known no other public man
so like to President Harrison temporal
mentally and intellectually as Is Gov.
Hughes. Harrison was a man without en-
thusiasm: Unconditional; in ordinary expert
ences of life unsympathetic: one whose fine
mentality and high morality constituted
about all there was of him Gov. Hughes
IS of his type: man who compels the pro-
found respect of those with whom he is in
contact who does right according to ms
own personal view of right. with seeming
absolute Indifference to. and even uncon-
seriousness of, the praise or dispraise OF
others.
This New York newspaper repeats one or
the most mistaken appraisements OF a pub
lie man ever made in this country. Gen.
Harrison was the very opposite OF nuch OF
what is here presented. He was not only
possessed of enthusiasm, but of the ca
paciy of inspiring enthusiasm In others.
Not a story-teller not a handshaker, not
collier" in any sense, he was yet full OF
fire in matters of public concern, and man
aged 10 communicates it to all within the
range of his influence. As a stumper he
was worth more votes to his party than
any other man in Indiana. Ben Harri-
SON as he was popularity known at home,
talked to tell whenever he talked at all.
As for sympathy, he was all sympathy In
matters that called for the display of that
feeling Ask Gen. Tracey, his Secretary
of the Navy. who met with most distress
ing domestic affiiCtion while serving IN the
cabinet Ask numbers of men in Indiana,
who, In their young and aspiring days,
came under the influence of Gen. Harrl-
son and protted by his example and friend
" suggestions Ask those newspaper re-
porters and correspondents who. with good
credentials. met him and often were as
sisted by him In the discharge of their
duties.
The charge. widely and shrewdly dissent
mated BY the democrats. that Gen. Harrl-
son was merely an Intellectual machine or
a high grade cut figure in his defeat In
1S92-a defeat which cost the country far
more than II did him. Had he been re-
elected-hs administration had been in the
highest degree successful-we should have
had a continuation of affairs in every way
conducive to the countrys welfare. Inc
silver question would have been settled
without the disruption of the party In pow
er. the Mckinley tariff bill would, with a
few changes, have met all the ends desired
OF It, and the stupid attempt to re-estab-
fish a rotten monarchy In Hawaii, which
made the country ridiculous in the eyes or
the world would never have taken pace.
II Gov Hughes Is much like Gen.
Harrison temperamentany as this New
York journal thinks he is Intellectually the
public has an additional reason for con-
graduating itself on his present promi-
nenCe in political affairs.

Lipton's CHALLENGE.

Sir Thomas Lipton's fourth challenge is
on its way to the New York Yacht Club
and consequently in few weeks we will be
hearing something about his plans for his
next effort to lift the cup. Already there

smaller yacht, in the hope of securing
better chance. There may be some diff

ing the measurement rules. but no appre-
hension should be felt on this score. Lip
