How Tropical Fruits Are Protected.


1t may have struck you that most
tropical fruits have thick or hard or
nauseous rinds, which need to be torn
off before the monkeys or birds for
whose use they are intended can get
at them and eat them. Our northern
strawberries, raspberries, currants and
whortleberries, developed with sin
gle eye to the pretty robins and finches
Of temperate chimes, can be popped
into the mouth whole and eaten as
they stand They are meant for small
birds to devour and to dispense the
tiny undigested, nutlike seeds in return
for the bride of the soft pulp that sur
rounds them. But it is quite otherwise
with oranges, shaddocks, bananas.
plantains. mangoes and pineapples.
Those great tropical fruits can only be
eaten properly after stripping off the
hard and often acrid rind that guards
and preserves them. They lay them
selves out for dispersion by monkeys,
toucans and other relatively large and
powerful fruit eaters, and the rind is
put there as a barrier against small
thieves who would rob the sweet pulp
but be absolutely incapable of carry
ing away and dispensing the large and
richly stored seeds 1t covers.-Cornhill

The GAAE IMPROVED
Former All America Quarterback
Likes the New Foot Ball Rules.

The action of the intercollegiate
football rules committee in adopt
ing the rules.of limiting the for
ward pass back of the line of
scrimmage ands reducing the num-
Der of yards to be gained in three
downs from ten to eight is move
in the right direction for the pres
ervation of the great college sport,
says Walter H. Eckersall, former
All-Amerlcans quarterback, in the
Chicago Tribune.
The change tot limiting the for
ward pass is good one, although
it did not meet with the approval
of all members, of the rules COM
mittee, and it is certainty that all
the coaches will not be in sympa-
thy with the move. The alteration
is the result of a comprhmise be-
tween two factions of the commit
t7e, one OF which wanted the for
ward pass abolished entirely while
the other wanted the play to re-
main.
1t is almost a certainty that for
ward passes will not be much in
evidence this fall, for it is hard to
conceive of making much ground
with the play when the ball can
only be passed forward, back Of the
line of scrimmage. Instead of the
long throw, which has character
lied the play since its adoption,
most of the coaches will use short
or hand to hand passes. Plays
will be evolved of the split inter
ference variety, and in this sort of
attack the forward pass will be
used to the best advantage.
The restriction placed upon the
pass and reduction of the distance
to be gained in three attempts are
changes which will gladden. the
hearts of the old time football war
riorS, for the alterations will make
the game more like the one which
was played before the rules were
changed 50 radically in the winter
OF l9O5-'06. Practically the only
difference which will be noticeable
at once viii be the lack of aid to
the player carrying the ball. At
its meeting in New York in March
the rules were committee passed
rule that the runner is not to be
pulled or pushed in his attempts to
gain ground. With the exception
Of the heavy, concentrated attacks
on one spot, the game will be more
like the one played SIX years ago.
In reducing the distance to be
ggined the committee made rule
which will encourage the old style
attack :of drives on and off the
tackles, and the use of end runs.
This change will allow teams to
try to gain ground without danger
of losing the ball on any of their
attempts unless they fail to make
the required distance. There will
be no more of the chance element
with the forward pass and the
monotonous feature of penalizing
for ineompleted passes, a thing
which has become boresome to the
average spectator.
Instead of spending days in per.
fecting forward pass plays, which
nine times out of ten have not
worked successfully in games,
coaches can now turn their atten-
ton to evolving plays in which
