COFFEE BERRIES.

Round Kernels Are Stronger and Fitch
err Than Flat Ones.
Everybody is more or less familiar
with the term male berry" applied to
coffee. The term refers to the form
and style. not the sex.
An examination of any kind of coffee
will show that about one kernel in ev-
cry twenty-five is quite round, like a
bean. while all the others are fat on
one side. like the half Of split bean.
These round or male berries are always
found on the young. vigorous. new
wood of the previous years growth at
the end of the branches.
The old wood produces fat berries
only. Each pod" or fruit Of the coffee
tree contains either two common fat
berries or but one round one. The
substance of the fruit in the one case
all goes into the single male berry. and
in the other it is divided among two
fiat ones
This undoubtedly accounts for the
greater strength and richness Of the
male berry. In private plantations.

FREEZING WATER.
How the Growth of Ice Crystals May

How the Growth of Ice Crystals May
Be Made Plainly Visible.
1t is not commonly known that fresh
water may sometimes be colder than
ice" and that the growth of ice crys-
tails may be made plaiply visible. An
interesting experiment to show this
may easily be made.
Fill clean pint bottle with distilled
water. Make a hole in the stopper
large enough to let a thermometer
pass through it. The kind of ther-
mometer used in physical laboratories
Is most convenient. Insert the stopper
in the bottle and let the thermometer
reach nearly to the bottom. Pack
snow or ice and salt round the bottle
as you would pack an ice cream
freezer. II the bottle is not Jared
the temperature may be seen to drop
several degrees below the freezing
point without freezing the water.
If the stopper and thermometer are
now removed and small piece of ice
in the bottle and pushed down into
the water. crystals of ice may be seen
to shoot out in all directions from it.
After this experiment has been made
1t will be interesting to observe the
much slower growth Of Ice crystals in
the quiet pools of clear water that you
sometimes see in spring and fall, and
you will have some understanding of
the network of ice Orders which is
beneath the ice coating Of small ponds.
