L. Moore, chief of the Weather Bureau,
standing near. Professor Moore obtained
notoriety rather than fame when he pre-

of the year, with blizzard long to be re-

1t was more common years ago for negroes
to be candidates for Congress than at pres

colored man was named by the Republicans
to run against well known Democrat. He
made the race and delivered number of
harangues which could not be called
speeches. At one town of considerable inn
portance he was told to make reference to
the tariff, as that was an issue in the place.
He promised to do so.
Before the meeting he hunted up an old
negro friend and was overheard coaching
him what to do at the meeting

schoolteacher wanted her pupils to write a
composition on the rabbit, and described the
animal to them, saying she desired them to
describe it in their papers. She told them
about its various points, Song, silky ears,
big eyes, long legs, furry covering. And,
she added, the rabbit has tail; but not

"At the end of the week she gathered up

a PILES the size OF green pee S were among
the horticultural curiosties observed by
one of Our agriculture eXplC rer; during re-
cent trip through Northern China and Man
churia. He describes the productiveness of
the trees as something marvellous" The
bright red fruits are eaten fresh or dried, or
made into preserves, by both Russians and
Chinese. So hardy are the trees, which are
of the "crab" family, that it is thought they
would thrive almost anywhere in the North
ern United States; and as ornamental
plants, when loaded with thousands of the
tiny scarlet apples, they would be very ef
fective
Most remarkable is the method of grow
ing grapes in that part Of the world, the
vines being buried in winter. They are
grown upon arbors overhead in the summer;
but after the first cold snap in autumn they
are taken down, pruned, tied together in
long bundles, and inferred in pits, covered
with old mating and couple of feet of SOIL
A few openings are left to admit air in moder-
ate weather; but these are closed in case it
turns very cold. The roots of the vines, Of
course, are not disturbed; but are swatled
in mating and covered we'll with earth.
Anybody who should visit vineyard in
Northern China in the winter would scarcely
suppose that the barren area over which he
walked was covered in summer with luxu-
RANT growth of choice grapes. Although
this mode of culture seems so odd, there is
good reason to believe that it might be
adopted to advantage in some parts of our
own country. For example, it is seriously
suggested by the Department of Agriculture
that people in the Rocky Mountain region
might be able by this means to raise choice
varieties of grapes for table use.
The agricultural explorer obtained bud
of nf
peaches which, through crossing with some
of Our own best kinds, may make it possible
to extend the peach growing belt in the
United States much farther northward
One of these he found in temple garden at
Kirin, where the temperature in winter
often drops to forty degrees below zero. In
cidentally, in the same part of the country,
he came across peach with blood-red pulp,
which, when cut through, looked more like
beet root than anything else. Another va
riety was called the "beef peach, because it
looked so much like meat.
1t would be great convenience to be able
to grow cranberries in ones back yard, and
a hearty welcome will be given in this coun-
try to tree that bears such fruit. Of course,
they are not real cranberries; but near
enough to serve the purpose The tree in
question, which is haw, is hardy, and gets
along with very little water. Suggestion is
made that it's fruit might take the place of
cranberries in sections where the latter are
hard to obtain. Anybody could grow
enough of them on one or two trees to sup
ply the wants of family.
Many orchards of this edible haw are
found in Northern China. The fruit is
bright red and with an agreeably sour taste;
the best kinds as big as good-sized crab ap-
Piles and only slightly acrid. They are ex-
tensively used in the manufacture of sweet

natives are equally fond of them. Incl
dentally, the tree would furnish, it is be-
heved, an ideal stock for dwarf early pears in
the irrigated regions of the arid Southwest,
where the problem of growing this sort of
fruit for the early market is just now attract
ing good deal of attention
Tea drinkers will be cheered to learn that
Our Vice Consul at Fu-chau, Mr. Nightin-
gale, has succeeded after many efforts in OBJ
tanning the seeds of several rare varieties of
teas, and has forwarded them to the Depart
ment of Agriculture, which will propagate
the plants. Up to the present time these
teas have been monopolized by ROYALTY and
the highest nobility of the Chinese Empire
and much care has been taken to prevent
them from getting abroad. In the order
of superiority, they are known as the "white
cocks comb" the great red robe" the
alotus heart the "water fairy" and the
dragon pool" The first named is said to
be the original teaplant, and to have fallen
from Heaven.
To get the seeds, Mr.. Nightingale was OBJ
hged to take long boat trip, and then to
proceed on foot distance of two hundred
miles. At length he came to the River of the
Nine Windings, which runs through dis
trict of huge sandstone cliffs and boulders,
In the shadow of the cliffs and in clefts
tity of the poor, sandy soil is found, the
wonderful tea grows. Beyond little dig
cling about the roots in October of each
year, it seems to require no particular atten-
ton.
China is supposed to have been the origi
nal home of the sweet orange. More than
eighty different kinds of edible orange are
said to grow today along the southern coast
of the Empire. Some of them may be turned
to useful account, perhaps, for Our own pur-
poses in California and Florida. But, when
it comes to the lemon, one is surprised to
learn that it is not grown as a fruit tree in
China. That country imports its lemons,
which are so scarce that sometimes they
bring twenty cents apiece in Picking and
Tientsin.
For ornamental purposes, however, lemon
trees are greatly admired in China, where
they are usually grown as dwarf potted
plants, the idea being to have as much fruit
as possible on the smallest possible tree. A
tiny tree with dozen or more lemons on it
will sell in Picking for ten dollars. Wholly
curiosity is the fingered lemon, or "Buddha's
hand" which is likewise grown as pot
plant. 1t is supposed to bring good luck,
and the hand shaped fruit commonly sells
at fifty cents apiece.
Suggestion is made that it might be
profitable for American farmers to grow GER
tain large-seeded varieties of watermelon
for the seeds alone, finding market for the
latter in China. In that country, it ap
pears, watermelon seeds are eaten by every
body, roasted, much in the same way as
people in the United States eat peanuts. At
every theater or teahouse they are offered.
There are several varietes,-red black,
yellow, and white,-but the red seeds are
preferred.
