WHERE SEASONS ARE MIXED
Caves Exist in United States in Which
Ice Freezes in Summer and
Thaws in Winter.

There are several cases in the Unit
become confused as to the seasons, &C
cording to Popular Science Monthly.
During the late spring and sum-
mer Ice forms and a freezing tempera-
ture prevails, but as winter comes on
the interior of the caves, becomes milo
err, the ice gradually melts and a kind
of subdued summer sets in under
ground.
One of these peculiar caves is to be
found at CouderspOrt, Pa, and one at
DEBORAH, Iowa. The superstitious
among the residents of those localities
give the caves q wide berth and look
with suspicion upon any one daring
enough to attempt to investigate them.
Edwin S. Balch of Philadelphia, who
has made a study of the subterranean
ice mines, as they are called, states
that according TO the theory evolved
by Investigators the formation of the
caverns is such that the cold air of
winter does not penetrate and settle in
them until late in the spring at the
time when the water from spring
thaws is seeping through the walls
and roof. This water meeting the cold
air freezes and stays frozen all sum-
mer until as the fall season ap-
proaches, the warm summer air at last
finds its way into the cave and melts
the ice.

JELLIES FROM PECTlN.

Pectin, the essential jelly-making
substance, may be extracted from
fruits rich in it, and this concentrated
product used with the juices of fruits
deficient in pectin, for the making of
excellent jellies.
Apple Pectin.-One pound apple
pulp Cor skins and cores), juice of
one lemon, four pounds water Boil
for half to three-quarters hour, press
the juice through cloth bag, then al
low this juice to drain without pres
sure through a heavy flannel or hair
cloth jelly bag. This juice when cold
should be tested with alcohol to deter
mine the proportion of sugar to add to
a volume of juice. Pectin can be bot
tied, processed for Is minutes in wa
ter bath at boiling, and kept until
needed for jelly making.
Orange Pectin.-Cut or Scrape the
yellow rind from the peel of the or
ange, the white portion remaining be-
ing passed through the food chopper
and weighed. For each pound of this
prepared peel add two pounds of wa
ter and four tablespoonfuls of lemon
juice, mix thoroughly, and allow to
stand 10 minutes. Then add two
pounds water, boil ten minutes, let
stand overnight. Next morning boil
ten minutes, allow to cool, press to re-
move juice and then drain juice
through a flannel bag. If not desired

sugar, two drops oil of peppermint,
two drops green vegetable coloring.
Bring the orange or apple pectin juice
to boiling, add sugar, and boil rapidly

pectin juice and the strawberry juice,

tinue boiling until the jellying point
is reached. Pour Immediately into hot
sterilized jelly glasses and skim. When
cold. pour hot parafin over the jelly.
Pineapple and Orange Tor Apple)
Pectin JeIly.-Add one pint orange Tor
applel pectin juice to one pint pineap-
pie juice which has been boiled for
ten minutes, add one pound sugar and
continue boiling until the jellying
point is reached. Pour Immediately
into hot sterilized Jelly glasses and

over the jelly.

ment of Agricuiture.)
A good jelly should be bright, of good
color, and clear When removed from
the glass it should retain the shape of
the mold. Good jelly can be cut with a
distinct cleavage, retaining the angles
where cut. 1t should sparkle and be
tender enough TO culver without break
ing.
Fruit for Jelly Making.-The juice
from certain fruits, such as grape,
apple, crabapple, orange, kumquat and
currant, is better suited for making
a natural fruit jelly than juices from
other fruits. The juices from these
fruits contain the properties necessary
for jelly making. The best fruits for
Jelly making contain pectin and acid.
Pectin, the fundamental jelly-making
substance, does not exist in some fruits
in sufficient amount to make jelly with
out the addition of pectin from some
other source. The peach, strawberry
and cherry are examples of fruits
which contain acid but are lacking in
L
tain pectin but are deficient in acid.
If the missing property be added to
each of these fruits, a jelly with the
color and flavor of the fruit selected
can be made.
Extracting the Juice.-Wash such
fruit as berries, grapes and currants
in running water and add one cupful
of water for each pound of fruit. For
apples, ounces, guavas and such hard
fruits, wash, slice and add three cup
fuls water to each pound of fruit The
fruit. should be cooked until tender,
a small quantity of water being added
to help extract the juice. The fruit
Juice will flow more freely when heat
ed than when cold, and the cooking
develops the pectin. AS soon as the
fruit is tender the liquid should be
squeezed through a cbeeSeclOth and
then be allowed to drip, without pres
sure through flannel jelly bag Qllus-
trated). Overlooking of the fruit is apt
to result in a cloudy jelly. After cool
ing the juice to room temperature test
it to determine the amount of pectin
present. This test gives some idea of
the proper proportion of sugar to juice.
Add one tablespoonful 90 per cent
grain alcohol to an equal volume of
cooled fruit juice and shake gently.
The effect of the alcohol is to bring
together the pectin in jellylike mass.
If large quantity of pectin is present
it will appear in one mass or clot when
poured from the glass. This indicates
that equal quantities of sugar and
juice may be used. If the pectin does
not slip from the glass in one mass,
less sugar will be required. A fair
