SPEAKER PROVES HIS CASE
BEFORE SEA SIDE CLUB

Before a large audience at the Sea
Side club last night the Rev. John
Goddard delivered an address upon
''The Art of Being Interesting and
proved his case by interesting his
hearers to the utmost.
The gist Of Mr.. Calvin's advice was
to the effect that one must get down
to a mans hobbies to rivet his atten-
ton AS clever illustration Of this,
he worked the SCENE on his audience
by addressing them upon the subject
Of the growth and Importance of
Bridgeport, and the envious manner
in which other commonwealth are
watching the progress of the Park
City. The audience was so bound up
in the address that it completely over
looked the fact that DR.. Calvin was
applying his precepts to them, until
that fact was called to their atten-
ton

PROPER HANDLING OF APPLE
CROPAFTERITH HAS BEEN PICKED
Taken From Tree Bears Impor.
Relation o Their Keeping Oualities-Keep
About Twice Long In Cold Storage
n Ordinary Cellar

Now as the apple breathes In the oxy-
gen Of the air. and breathes out car
bonic acid, the latter will be absorbed
by the caustlc solution while water
will rise in the Jar to Ill the space,
made vacant by the removal of the
oxygen. Finally the water will NIL
about one-fifth of the air space orig
inally present and re.oain stationary.
because the oxygen is all used.
Respiration. whether in animals or
in plants. causes a destruction OF mat
ter In the cells much like the destruc-
ton of wood in a stove. and the rate
at which this destruction goes on can
be measured by determining the
amount of carbonic acid that Is
breathed out in a given length OF
time.
Fruit, after having been picked from
the tree is in the condition of starv'
ing animal Its cells still keep up res
piration with nothing in the way OF
food to make good the losses produced
by the action. Since apples and other
fruits have no body heat to maintain,
the DTtdtHiHs pttttSs 10 hoA so os''e
as In animals. and they may last
months after being picked from the
tree. Yet there is steady, contin'
uous loss In weight as the weeks 20
| by, although tha fruit is sound and
firm.
Respiration is partly chemical re
action. and in apples. like most chem
ical solutions In the laboratory. II
grows more rapid as the fruit becomes
warmer. and slowed down when the
| fruit is cooled.
IL Is frequently the case that warm
days with temperatures Of 20 degrees
occur late in the fall. and sometimes
| continue for considerable period
Fancy apples intended for long keep
ing In cold storage should be cooled
as soon as possible and kept cold. The
breathing process Is at the expense ol
cell contents and must weaken the
keeping qualities rs II goes on. And
this destructive action is from four Il
six times as fast out of cold storag,
as inside II.
Another fact In connection with thu
respiration is important II Is no
stopped In cold storage. but simpl,
slowed. Apples cannot be kept In
definitely. but kept about twice as lonl
In cold storage as In cool cellar.

breath is forced through IT,
The taking up of oxygen from the
air can also be readily shown by the
following interesting experiment
In a large basin partially filled with
water set a small support on which
is placed an apple and a small open
dish containing a solution Of caustic
soda or potash. The apple should not
touch the water nor the caustic solu-
tion. Cover the support and its con-
tents by large bell glass or wide jar
with its mouth wholly In the water.

tBy r. W. MORSE. New HampshireD
The respiration OF animals Is a well
know action and the necessity for 1t
In the living creature is fully appre-
ciated
The fact that plants and parts Of
plants must also breathe is not so
commonly understood. Yet all living
cells. whether a part OF animal matter
or vegetable matter. must have oxygen
to keep them alive and they give up
carbon dioxide and water as a result
of the action of the oxygen on some
of their contents. Parts of plants
when cut of from the main stem do
not die at once. and must continue to
breathe. This is true. whether the
severed part is a leafy branch. a fruit
or a root: but some parts live much
longer after removal than others.
and the apple continues to breathe for
many weeks after IL has been picked
from the tree.
The chief products Of respiration
are the same in plants as in animals,
namely. carbon dioxide commonly
called carbonic acid) and water. These
products can he easily shown by plac
ing one or more apples in -. glass jar
and covering II tightly. In a few
hours a dewy film will cover the inner
surface of the jar. that In time will
collect into drops which will trickle to
the bottom. On opening the jar. a
little clear lime-water may be poured
into il without touching the fruit. and
