Perslmmons as Food.

The only fruit, says bulletin of Ghe department of agriculture, which equals the perslmmou in It's value as a food Is the date. Nevertheless many persons with fine persimmon trees in their possession are allowing the fruit to go to waste, either through ig- norance of the many uses to which 1t may be put or through prejudice. There Is saying In the persimmon country that perslmmons are good for dogs, hogs and possums. This, how ever, is declared to be a gross injustice to very valuable product.
 One reason for the neglect of this fruit Is the mistaken idea that per simmons are unfit to eat until they have been touched by frost As a matter of fact, much of the best fruif is lost every year because 1t ripens and falls to the ground, where, not being touched by frost, It Is left to rot. Such persimmons as are not edible before frost comes are a late variety of the fruit, and the reason that they pucker the mouth Is because they have not vet ripened. In general, the best fruit Is that which ripens just before the leaves fall.

Luminsscent illumination.

There are several substances that be- come luminescent after long exposure to the rays of the sun, although none of them emlts a brilliant light. It is believed that this mminescence could be greatly increased if the problem were investigated with as much care as that given to the development of the incandescent gas mantle. II has been suggested that if a luminescent paint were spread. on buildings exposed to brilliant sunshine they would give of stored sunlight during the night and thus preserve one element of the radiant energy of the sun. One au- thority remarks. ''The general use of such a paint would enable the more powerful methods of artificial illumi- nation to be limited to special locations and confne the use of existing systems to indoor service and to spots where little daylight penetrates. ."-Washing- ton Star.

 Indianapolis Bakers Under Suspicion
 As to Weight of Bread.
 INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.-The State authorities are much dissatisfied with the manner in which bakers arc pro ducing bread. Indianapolis consumes very little home made products. The public supports a number oi flourish ing commercial bakeries, and these establishments have been gradually reducing the size of. their loaves. It appears now as though tte 10-cent loaf is but little larger than the i've cent one used to be. H. E. Barnard, State Food Commissioner, has direct ed city and county inspectors of weights and measures to weigh bread sold in various localities. It i0 also reported that dry measures, while large enough to come under the law, are of such shape as to defraud the purchaser of large potatoes, onions. apples, etc. This is also being locke l into.
