Muse Island Summer Hotel.

It was reported in Noank Wednesday that a summer motel is to be erected on Muse Island, which Is separated from the mainland near the lighthouse by only a narrow strait. It is also said that a causeway Is to be built from the is- land to the mainland. This is entirely practical, as there is very little depth of water in the strait. The report is said to emanate from Mystic, but there is no way to verify it, as the owners of the island live in distant cities. Un- doubtedIy the island would make an ideal situation for a summer hotel, be- cause of several features. Some of them are as follows: It has a fine view of Fishers Island Sound and adjacent waters; the village is easy of access, being on the main road from Boston to New York, with convenient trolley connections with New London.

UNCLE SANS NEW MELON.

Be Grown Here.


Be Grown Here.
The department Of agriculture Is al
ways alert for something new, and the
diplomatic and consular officers Of the
United States have special orders to be
on the lookout for new fruits and
vegetables.
SO well have these orders been car
ried out that many new and strange
fruits and vegetables have found their
way to the tables Of the American
housekeeper.
One of the latest and best things in
this line has been the introduction into
the United States Of the Roumanian
watermelon. This was the result Of a
deal consnmmntea by the late minister
70 Roumania, Horace q. Knowles

ing huge slices of watermelon II would

The new melon has thin skin, and
the meat which Is less fbrous than
the American melon, is both yellow
and red in color The favor is deli.
cate and delicious. but the chief char
acterlstic Of the fruit IS its size, which
is about that of good sized grape
fruit or shaddoek,
After a thorough test by the argicul-
tural department, which found that
the Roumanian melon could be success
fully grown wherever our own melons
would grow. and having been assured
Of It's royal reception BY the American
public, Nj. Knowles was anxious to
repay the gift ne had noticed that

articles 81 agriculture, but that sweet
corn was unknown. Accordingly be
obtained 4 quantity q seed, hired sew

The result was So successful and the
corn SO thoroughly enjoyed that the
king called Mr. Knowles ~ o private
audience and thanked him for making
it possible for the Roumanian people
to gain this delicacy
