A LESSON IN COLD STORAGE

A PROPOS Of the success achieved by the
~ Department OF Agriculture in greatly
widening the market for fresh fruits through
improved methods OF picking, handling,
packing, and shipping, II may be interesting
TO note that this was a direct outgrowth Of
the experience OF the American commission
crS at the Paris Exposition in trying TO MAN
tain there throughout the season an exhibit
of fresh American fruit.
Never before had similar attempt been
made when the source of supply was across
an ocean; 50 when the commissioners an
nounccd their intention they received little
serious consideration. They succeeded,
however, TO such degree that the number
Of awards for fruit displays given to Amcn-
can exhibitors was greater than that given
TO any other country except France. The
fruit came from all parts Of the United
States. For instance, The apples were from
the crop Of the preceding year in seventeen
States. When harvested, the fruit intended
for exhibition was placed in cold storage. i
was assembled in New York in the March
following, and transported in refrigerator
compartments to Havrc, where special
fru, depot was constructed in a meat stor-
age plant TO receive it, The apples were
sent on in lots Of twenty or thirty barrels al
intervals Of two or three weeks 20 ircShcn
the exhibits Then. when the new crop be
gan 10 come in. the summer fruits were sent
on sucCcssirely.
II was the variable behavior Of different
lots Of the same variety Of apples, peaches
and other fruits under the same storage
conditions that impressed the Government
agents. Colonel G. b. Bracket and William
\. TAYLOR OF the Department Of Agriculture
with the need Of more light on the principles
governing the decay OF fruit in storage and
Transportation. The public is now just be-
ginning 70 experience The impprtan, bcnc.ts
Of the investigations that followed.

BOOK TREASURES OF: PAST
Immense Sums Invested in the Copy
Ing, Illuminating and Binding of
ia Them by Hand.

The cost Of materials and copying,
illuminating and binding books by
hand made them the treasures of ri III
! collectors and the pride of museums,
palaces and convent libraries. I'M
| mense sums were invested in them,
and rare or unusually original copy
became a gem in value as we'll as
sentiment. Cicero, whose magnificent
. library was almost as famous as its
owners eloquence, declared that he
had seen a parchment roll containing
the entire ''Iliad' Of Homer, which

Of nut, work of extreme skill and
patience, which q French savant, M.
Huet, has since demonstrated was
within the range of possibility. Many
such tours de force are said to have
demonstrated the skill Of ancient
copyists and their economy parchment
and vellum.
In the eighth century it was with
great difficulty that a monk of the
rich Abbey of Saint Gall, France,
gathered piece by piece sufficient
parchment to begin the transcription
of a rare work. Later, in 1920, monk
employed to prepare copy of the
Bible could not find in all England
sufficient parchment for the purpose.

Those who call children thought

They only seem lacking in thought to
such of their elders as fail to COM

differently from that Of the adult. Ju.

but just as frequently it is sound and

OLDEST TREE IS ON cos
'e Measures 80 Feet in circumference
and Is More Than 1000
Years Old, ~

The tallest trees in the world are
the Australian eucalypti, which attain
an altitude. Of 4S0 feet. The biggest
are the mammoth trees Of California,
some of which are 276 to 1878 feet in
height, and 108 feet in circumference
at the base. From measurements Of
the rings 1t is believed that certain
or these trees are from 1000 to $500
years old. The Oldest tree In the
world Is said to exist on the island Of
Cos on the coast of Asia Minor. It is
several thousand years old, but just
how many no one has dared to say.
The tree is carefully preserved by q
wall OF masonry around it, and the
trunk is thirty feet in circumference.
But there are parts of trees in the
form of useful timber which are even
older, probably, than any on the
stump. Beams in old buildings are
preserved today, which are known to
be over a thousand years old Piles
driven by the Romans prior to the
Christian era are perfectly sound to-
day, and it Is known that they have
Deem immersed in water for upward Of
two thousand years.
Some woods have remarkably dur
able properties when immersed in wa
ter. They decay rapidly on the stump,
many rotting in from FIVE to ten
years, but when immersed in water,
they last longer than iron or steel.
An effort has been made by our gov.
eminent to preserve woods indefinite
ly by treating them with oils and tar
products. Already telegraph poles and
railway ties have had their average
life extended from five to ten years
by this process.-Harper's

Rules rbr Talking Weather.

The English are as i1sensible to
their weather as they are to vast
number of other things. They talk OF
nothing else; but there is yet an arti.
flciality about the conversation that
denotes it to be a standardized topic.
If genuine fe3ing and emotion are ex-
pressed regarding it by an outsider
they become suddenly touchy, and
what seemed neutral ground on which
differing temperanients could meet
with perfect amiability is seen to be
no better than a bank of bristling
thistlesI It is here that the rules Of
the weather game are seen more
clearly. You may talk of it to the
exclusion of everything else; you are
regarded as difficult If you have an
aversion to a certain amount Of
speech about it, and yet there are GER
tain things you must never say about
it, or, if you do, you must say them
as though in spite of everything you
would not exchange it for any other
weather In the world, and you would
defend it with your last breath.-Flor-
ida Pier in Harper's Weekly.
