HONEST FRUIT MEASUREMENT
IS WHAT COLORADO WANTS
Efforts Being Made to Get Boxes
That Wont "Cheat"-Every
Bushel is n Few Pounds
Short.

Colorado is leading a movement
for the honest measurement of fruits
offered for sale. There is bill pend
ing before the United States congress
which Secretary Shute of the Colo
RADIO Horticultural society is bending
every effort to amend because 1t con-.
tains n provision that the shipping
boxes of apples, supposed to contain
an even bushel. shall contain a few
pounds less. Mrs. Shute has already
written to all of Colorado's repre-
sentatives in the house and senate
Washington, giving reasonable argu-
ments in support of her contention
that the bill ought not to pass in it's
present form. She has received en-
couraging replies from all these con-.
gressmen, but in order that the
amendment of the bill may be made
more certain, she wants every fruit
grower and every fruit dealer in
Colorado to write to Washington
also, so that the congressman shall
know how strong is the feeling in
Colorado.
Six years ago the Colorado Horti-
cultural society adopted officially
what is known as the Colorado apple
box. 1t is the only apple box that

contains just a bushel of apples. 1t
is used by several other states, but
the credit for its initiation belongs
entirely to Colorado. A box, to con-
tain just a bushel of apples. should
have for its three inside dimensions
Is 1a, 12 and IL u inches. The in
side measurements of the box pro-
posed in the bill are IL ", IL u and
1871.
OF course the smaller box does not
really cheat the dealers. They find
out before they agree on price what
sort of box is to be used. But the
consumers marely know the differ
ence between the smaller and larger
box. There is another argument,
too-the standard apple barrel now
contains Just three bushels or just
three times the contents of Colo
rado apple box. Ir the use of the
Colorado box were made national. 1t
would be much easier for the dealers
In buying a shipment of apples by
tie box. to calculate just how many
bushels they were getting.

Music and Electricity.

The telharmonium Of DR.. Cahill pro-
duces music from electricity without
the aid of any musical instruments,
while, on the other hand, the ap.
paratus of DR.. M. Dupont, French
electrician, converts music into cleo
trio currents. To monograph DR..
Dupont fits mierophone in circuit
with the primary of an induction coil
without its interrupter. The musical
scale or piece of music is recorded
in the phonograph, and on reproduc-
ton this transforms the microphone
current into an alternating current
with periods changing to correspond
to the vibrations of the musical notes.
The alternating current gives the
physiological effect of hearing music.
Practice will probably enable a person
to recognize the musical pieces by the
currents, and deaf mutes may be given
a means Of hearing, while it is expect.
ed that the varying action on the mind
of exciting and calming pieces may
prove of value in treating nervous pa,
tients.
