The Forbidden Fruit.

interest. One of them is 1.-THE forbid
den fruit" or Ewes apple tree" It's
native name is diwi kadura, kadura
Simplifying forbidden" and diwi ''ti-
gers" The flower Of this e%Xtraordi-
nary production is said to emit a fine
scent. The color of the fruit, which
hangs from the branches in a very pc
culiar and striking manner, is very
beautiful. being orange IN the outside
and a deep crimson within. The fruit
itself presents the appearance of hav-
ing had a piece bitten out of it. This
circumstance, together with the fact
of its being a deadly poison, led the
MOhammedans on their first discovery
of Ceylon, which they assigned as the
site Of paradise, to represent it as the
forbidden fruit Of the garden of Eden,
for, although the finest and most
tempting in appearance Of any. it had
been impressed, such was their idea,
with the mark Of Ewes having bitten
it to warn men from meddling with a
substance possessing such noxious
properties.

A Threatening Comet,

Nj. Camille Flammarion, the great
scientist, after many years Of study,
arrived at the conclusion that the
world will in the tw%enty-ffth century
come across the path of the comet
Bella. On this occasion a collision will
take place, and, Bella being infinitely
greater than the earth, a shock may
be expected which, he calculates, will
be $50 times greater than the shock
caused by the collision between two
trains. each travelling at sixty-fve
miles an hour.

How He Worked the Artist.

This account Of how an intimate
friend Of the great artist Kyosal OBJ
tanned n OF the painters drawings Is
from Mrs. Hugh Frazer's Letters
From Japan"
Kyosal always refused If asked out
right for Il sketch. SO his friend be
gan the negotiation by offering the art
list an excellent dinner. When KyoSai
had drunk deeply and seemed in a
mellow humor his host called for
drawing materials, saying that he felt
al artistic fancy taking possession of
him. No one vas surprised, as Japa-
nese gentlemen often amuse them
selves In this way after n feast. The
servant then brought an enormous
sheet of white paper ard spread it on
the floor with the brushes and Indian
Ink beside 1t. The crafty host, with
out looking at his guest, sank on his
knees and began to draw, apparently
absorbed In his occupation, but inten-
~tionally producing weak and incoher-
ont lines. Kyosai watched the feeble
effort in silence and growing irritation,
and at last jumped up, dashed the tyro
aside and tore the brush out Of his
hand, eXclaiming: "Out Of the way,
you wretched bungler! l will teach
you how to draw! And the result
was a priceless sketch, which remain
ed in the possession Of the willy enter
tainer.

gave him a suggestion which led the
commodore to organize all the little
railroads between New York and Chi

advice. Here is what his friend told
him about the commodore:
