FruIts Rlpened By DRUG vapors.

Horticulturists have for some time
been experimenting on the effects to
be obtained by subjectlng plants to
the vapor of ether. chloroform and
other volatile substances. They have
found that the growth Of many fruits
and flowers can be forced by this
method and have obtained particularly
striking results with lllacs, which they
have thus been able readily TO obtain
in winter. An American agriculturist
has experimental more particularly in
the effect OF these and other sub
stances on the ripening of fruit. His
observations have shown that In the
majority Of cases the more volatile
the substance to which the plant ID
treated the more rapid Is the ripening.
In forcing the ripening Of dates, for
instance, he found that tho best re-
suits were obtained when he employed
acetic. proprionic. lactio or salicylic
acid. Heat powerfully stimulates the
ripening process and one OF the pecul.
iarities of fruits thus forced to ma
turity is that they are generally found
to keep better than those which have
ripened naturally.

Red Tape In Action.

An American, In visiting the London
postoffice, observed that the newspa,
per box had large mouth. and, with
the curiosity Of the average American
tourist, he stood gazing into 1t. Sud.
denly a bale OF newspapers struck
him and he fell into the box.
His companions hurried to the coun-
ters to rescue him. but owing to the
red tape of the English postoffice the
clerks disregarded their appeals. The
American was in the mail box and
would have to be treated as mail
matter. They therefore stamped him
and threw him into a compartment
containing provincial newspapers.
The unfortunate mans friends there
upon went to the chief, who listened
phlegmatically to their story, then
asked IL their friend was addressed
On being informed that he was not,
the chief said.
The matter is simple. The man will
remain for six months In the bureau.
At the end of that time, II no one ap-
plies for him. he will be burnt as q
dead letter"

ROPE FOR ALPINE CLIMBERS
II 10 of Special Manufacture and Com
bines Strength, FIexibIlity and
Llghtness.

The rope used by Alpine climbers
is of special manufacture, combining
as far as possible the differing quail
ties Of strength, fexibility and light
ness. Three qualities are in general
use, being made from Sisal, Italian
and Manila hemps respectively, and
occasionally, when cost is not consid-
cred, of silk The latter, though very
light and strong, Is not so durable
as the others. That which finds most
favor among British mountaineers is
known as Bylckingham's Alpine rope;
1t is made of the best Manila hemp.
In the year 1864, Mr.. McLeish re-
calls, committee of the Alpine club
made tests upon number of ropes
suitable for mountaineering OF the
two that were approved one was
made of Italian hemp and the other
of Manila. They both had break
ing strain OF two tons and sustained
the weight of a twelve stone man
after falling from a height OF ten
feet Non-mountaineers have some
times considered this insufficient, but
1t is highly problematical whether the
human anatomy could survive the
sudden compression OF thin rope
arising from any greater fall.-Fry's
