ELECTRICITY AND FRUIT.

There is no country in the world
whose markets are go well supplied
with fruit as those of the United
States. Any one who has paid an
early morning visit to the great Lon
don market in Covent Garden. when
the fruit sellers are arranging their
produce for the days sales. will rec
ognize the truth of this assertion at
once. The English capital is the
metropolis OF the world, but her mar
kets are not 40 well supplied with
fruit as those Of Philadelphia or New
York. And much of the fruit dis
played in Covent Garden now comes
from the United states; for English
peaches and even English apples, are
like the tabled growths of the Dead
sea when compared with those
brought from America
Much of the tireless energy dis
played by Americans, even during
the intense heat OF their long, dry
summers, may be due TO their fond
ness for fruit. According to the re-
searches Of a recent investigator all
fruits, whether of solid Gesh like the
apple, or composed Of a number Of
| cells like the orange, are duly re-
plete with what corresponds to the
positive and negative plates Of a
| storage battery For instance, in the
apple the fleshy portion constitutes
the positive, and the core, which is
| insulated from the flesh by thin
| skin, the negative cell, the rcspec-
! tive terminals being the flower OF the
| fruit and the stalk I'm the orange,
on the other hand the successive
divisions form alternately positive
and negative cells, insulated fro,n
one another by skin walls; while the
whole is completely Insulated on the
outside by the peel o. rnl
To substantiate his thesis the in
vestigator secured an extremely sem
sitive Kelvin galganomctcr, the mag
netic rejecting indicator Of which IS
so light as TO be suspended by a
single thread of spiders web. by
means OF this apparatus he was able
to defect the needle from one side
to the other, according TO ,ha con
nection of the flower end OF the fruit
or the stalk with the instrument.
That such movement was not al
tributable to chemical agency is
borne out by the fact that by roycrs-
ing the terminals OF the fruit re-
versal of sign was obtained.
Again, such dehactipn3 we're not
merely temporary; jhcy lasted until
either the insulation o. tn" fru't wgs
broken down or decay had set in
The investigator also found that de-
composed fruit had no action rHyn

THE PEOPLE WON.

While the Troy News had much to do
with the recent political victory in Latah
county, it was really a victory for the
people against machine politics. And
while the News did it's part, let us not
overlook the fact that it was not alto
gether the Troy News. True, the Troy
News had much to do with awakening
the people to the real condition, but the
final struggle was one in which many
participated, and there is enough glory
to not only cover the News, but to go all
the way round. The News feels truly
grateful TO the many citizens who are
showering its editor with congratula-
tions, and once more let us hope that we
are entitled to this show of public APP
probation. But, as to us, we have only
done our duty. And this the people
have right to expect of every man.
But the truth is that many citizens put
duty aside for selfish interests, and fol-
low blindly the demands OF party in the
place of doing the high and noble service
demanded of good citizens. And it i
