Varieties Of Oranges and Lemons.

Oranges and lemons of excellent
quality have reached this country
from Rhodesia. The introduction of
both these fruits into Europe is more
recent than many suppose. A native
of India, the orange came to us by
way of western Asia, the bitter
orange being brought in by returning
Crusaders and the sweet variety not
coming until the fifteenth century,
when Genoese traders introduced the
tree into Italy.
The lemon was brought into Spain
by the Arabs in the twelfth century.
According to the experts there are
forty-seven varieties of lemons and
eighty of oranges-London Chronicle.

The Lathe.

1t would appear. says the London
Engineer, that certain busy bodies in
America are dissatisfied with the
term "lathe," and would have it
changed to turning machine. En-
gineering nomenclature, particularly
in the United States, is in large part
formed of localisms. Each district,
in many cases each shop. possesses
frequently a different name for the
same article or tool, and the terms
employed in one place are commonly
unintelligible to engineers hailing
from others.
