SEEDLESS TOMATOES.
Some Of Them Have the Flavor Of
Strawberries.

Some Of Them Have the Flavor Of
Strawberries.
The department of agriculture, hav-
Ing produced a seedless orange, Is now
experimenting with seedless tomato
The work has been going on for six
years, says the Washington Star, on
the farm of Professor Halstead at the
Now Jersey experiment station. The
new tomato IN only one of number
of interesting vegetables that have
been produced by cross breeding. 1t
has developed into a fixed type, and
crosses with other plants have little or
no effect on 1t, The tomato is not al
ways entirely seedless, Sometimes it
has no seeds at all. and sometimes 1t
may have i've or six or as many as
sixty. II Is a very large plant Of fine
flavor and has been known as the
Giant. 1t is the result Of cross of the
Golden Sunrise on the Dwarf Cham
pion, The plant ia persistent bearer
and flowers up to the killing frosts in
November.
There have been a number OF other
crosses on the same farm producing
seedless tomatoes, but they have al
most uniformly been dwarfs in size.
Il. +. Sandsten. another of the de-
partments workers, carried on a Sc
rles Of experiments at the Wisconsin
experiment station and produced seed
less tomatoes by an entirely different
process-namely, the excessive use Of
fertilizers Some of these tomatoes
We're dwarfed. and some were large
enough for table use, others had the
flavor of Strawberries. All Of the seed
less plants of course have to be propa-
gated by OUTLINES.

ed, wherein 1t was stated that Bergen
had no dutiable goods. Then the sus-
pecled smuggler was surrounded by
half dozen inspectors.
No man In the group was less agi-
tated than Bergen, smiling, putting
easily upon a black cigar and return
ing look for look with level eyes. Why
had he not declared his baggage7 That
was an easy question. He had no bag
gage But the officers knew better.
They even had a description Of the
trunk, and thus armed the captain was
ordered to open the baggage compart-
ment. When the revenue men recited
their reasons for this demand, with a
description of the trunk they expected
to find. great white light dawned
upon the shippers mind, and the detec-
lives kwore vainly as they realized
that though their quarry was run
down, all the evidence. against him
was gone.
Once there lived In one of the foreign
quarters Of New York a learned orni-
biologist. He knew more about birds
than most men know about anything.
He stuffed and mounted them too. Not
infrcquently his researches took him
abroad. In fact, he was regular
voyager to Europe, spending the great
or part of his sojourn invariably in
France, whence he returned with many
quaint and curious birds, stuffed.
mounted. ready for exhibition. This
savant and his birds became so IN
miliar to the customs inspectors that
they finally examined his baggage and
his stock In the most perfunctory way.
Once when In Paris the ornithologist
picked up wonderful talking parrot
which he purchased at the owners
price and made pet of. He was fond
OF talking. and the bird was speedily
taken into his confidence Yet through
all the grim fact that Poll would he
worth more to him dead than alive
constantly obtruded itself, so much so
that several times a day he said to the
parrot, "Poll, pretty Poll, when you are
dead I shall stuff you full of nice
fat diamonds and take you to Amer
lea"
In good season the ornlthologist, with
his collection OF stuffed birds and his
parrot set sail for New York on one
Of the French liners leaving Havre. At
the pier several inspectors greeted him
NJ an old acquaintance, and one OF
them fumbled carelcssly among the
various trunks and boxes, until even
tually Poll. sitting placldly in her cage.
was brought to light
"Ah, parrot" said the inspector.

The rest was easy for the inspectors.

A fish hitherto entirely unknown in
America, the Japanese yellow I'm alba
core, recently appeared in great num-

says G. +. Holder In the Scientific

President David Starr Jordan. who
said that 1t added another link be-
tween America and Japan. 1t is a
good market fish. and the specimens
captured average fifty pounds In
weight 1t resembles the tuna. The
