Water, too, was the original architect Of
the earth's crust. The first rivers that
flowed upon the earth's surface were red
hot. Granite dissolved in those foods like
sugar In q cup of tea. Deep down under
the earth's crust today, where water has
entered through faults, to be entrapped

Then portions of the earth's crust, which
have been resting upon a support of steam
under dynamite pressures, naturally sag
and shift when those pressures are re-
moved or materially lessened The earth's
surface then assumes new levels, this ad-
justment resulting In earthquakes.
The vast amount of solid matter elected
at times from volcanoes Is difficult of COM
prehension. The great volcano krakatoa
had been extinct for ages when in 1888
its top blew off with a shock felt clear
through the earth, and with blast that
sent a wave of air around the earth three
times, while the fine volcanic dust did not
entirely settle out of the atmosphere for
more than two years, as was indicated py
the unusually brilliant display of red sun
sets. This was the greatest volcanic erup-
ton in historic times. The distance is not
too great nor the time too remote for the
eruption of Mount Pelee to have caused
the earthquakes of San Francisco, VAL
paraiso and Kingston, while possibly Vesu-
vius may have played a material part.

sEEDLEsS TOMATOES.
Not Difficult to Produce, but the Type
NotsYet Perfected.

NUI L CT L C4 ASSISN'
From Country Life in America.
Since 1899 Prof Halsted of New Jersey
has been giving some attention to seedless
tomatoes At the very start the fruit was
large and was called the Giant. The va
riety seems to be we'll fixed and the flavor
coming smaller.
In the case of another hybrid some of the
fruits in each cluster do not attain a size
larger than peas, but they go through the
regular stages of ripening and remain seed
less. Prof Halsted has also obtained seed
less fruits from several other crosses,
showing that this is quite common phe-
nomenon in the breeding of tomatoes. In
some cases the flavor has been pronounced
more like that of strawberry.
Recently Prof. Sandsten of Wisconsin has
demonstrated that the use Of excessive
quantities of fertilizers exercises truly re-
markable effect upon tomato plants. 1t
appears that the plants react differently to
overlooking Some are dwarfed, some
greatly elongated, some lie nat upon the
ground and in many the flowers and fruits
are very abnormal.
On two different types of plants thus pro-
duced seedless tomatoes were grown. One
type produced a large solid tomato, while
the other bore fruit not larger than wal
nut. Both types come true when propa-
gated from cuttings.
Several other plants were obtained which
produced fruits of an intermediate charac-
ter, with fewer seeds than in normal toma-
toes and irregularly distributed. Prof.
Sandsten does not consider either type of
seedless tomato commercially valuable at
present, but they may become SO.

Messenger Boy Detectives.

From the Philad Record.
That messenger boys make good detec-
tiyes was the assertion Of the superintend-
emit of one Of the local offices Of the West
ern Union Telegraph Company recently, and
when asked to explain his remark he said:
Not long ago a woman came to the office
and requested our aid in locating her five
year-old boy, who, she declared. had strayed
from her side in Broad street station. For
tunately the distracted mother had with
her a photograph of the missing boy, which
we gave to one of our bright lads. with In
structions to go to the station and search
for the wanderer. He departed on his
errand While we were awaiting his return
the telephone bell rang and voice asked
IL we had sent a messenger to the station.
We replied in the affirmative. Thereupon
the receiver was hung up, and shortly af-
terward the mother had the satisfaction or
clasping to her heart her lost darling. The
embryo detective received s. bill for his
work, and the woman left vowing she
would recommend our boys to any one los
ing children. Afterward we learned that
a policeman had heard our messenger try
ing to persuade the child to go with him.

prevented 1t until assured by US that every
thing was all right"
