FEW PLUMS ON MARKET,
SUPPLY BELOW NORMAL

There is a scarcity of plums this
year. But few have reached the mar
lSet and but few more are expected.
Those that have been received are of
fair quality.
The scarcity first made itslef felt In
Southern shipments. These recorded
a heavy falling off-especially the ship
ments from the Carolinas.
Now is the time for the opening of
the local season, but, so far not
enough of the homegrown fruit has
been received to even establish an
opening. Reports are that plums will
be received from a number of Kent
orchards, although the supply will be
below that of last year. Indications
afford slight prospect of the house
keeper preserving the fruit in any
quantity.

WorId, L.russt Barometer.

barometer is on a basis Of feet where
the ordinary barometer Is measured II

seven feet high at normal. 1t was In
tended to use a thirty-two foot cobImn

cause water evaporated too quickly.
Then glycerin was tried, but with this
liquid the normal height was only
ewenty-ssyen feet, which was not
enough. Olive Oh was chosen finally.

operation lasts about ten minutes, and
when It Is over the warder, who Is a
