ORANGE Industry.

The interior of any one of the big
orange packing houses in either Flor
ida or California shows a wonderfully
systematic arrangement for grading
and sizing the fruit. There are q
dozen different sizes Of oranges and
so automatic is the grading that every
box of oranges comes out with every
orange almost the exact size Of its
companions. The result is oranges
which sell in the far Eastern markets
as how as one cent ~apiece-from this
to so or 60 cents a dozen. The only
things which must be left to human
judgment is the throwing out of culls
imperfect, too ripe or too green
specimens.
Nowadays in both of the big orange
growing states the orange business is
divided into two distinct and separate
industries-that of orange growing
and that of orange packing and ship
ping. The latter is handled by CO.
operative associations and very few
oranges are packed and shipped direct
by the orange growers themselves.
The same conditions apply to lemons
and grapefruit.

MALE OSTRICH BUILDS NEST
Sets on Eggs at Night During the In
cubation Which Lasts Forty to
Fifty Days.

After pairing, the ostrich begins Il
make his nest. 1t is the male alone
that performs this duty. To do it, he
squats upon the ground, and, balanc-
ing himself upon his breastbone,
scratches up the earth with his legs
and throws it behind him. When he
has dug out enough on one side TO suit
him he turns round and begins to dig
On another side, and continues this
operation until he has made a hole
large enough for him to sit In comfort
ably. A few days after the nest is
finished the female begins to lay n
egg every alternate day for eighteen
or twenty days. She then rests for q
while, which time varies from four to
ten days. and then lays more. A pair
of ostriches yield about forty eggs,
though 1t is not unusual for a well-fed
well-kept pair to yield fifty to sixty
eggs. The eggs are placed so as to
leave no space between them. The
male and the female brood alternate
ly. At night the male is always on
the nest, as it possesses greater
warmth than the female.
These birds perform their duties
with the greatest skill, without any
noise or breakage of the eggs. The
incubation lasts forty-five days on an
average, sometimes fifty days, but new
er continues beyond that. When the
chicklings hatch out they can be heard
trying to break the shell of the egg.
Sometimes they succeed In doing so.
but usually the father breaks the egg
under the breast bone, tears the inside
skin with his bill, and frees the chick
ling. Upon first reaching the air the
chickling remains limp and weak. But
the warmth of the parent soon revives
1t, and a few hours afterward 1t be-
gins to run about, exercising its long
legs, topping over at each step, and
recommending again it's stumbling
journey. Four days after their hatch
Ing the chicklings begin to eat. They
run after insects and swallow small
pebbles. The father and mother do
not help their little ones to find food.

Air WARRIOR. Predieament.

An accident, without precedent In
warfare, occurred to q French bomb
Ing plane, and death was averted by a
feat of daring which will long be re-
membered. The airpiane was about to
descend after q raid, when the pilot
discovered that two of his bombs had
caught in the rigging below the car.
It was impossible to land without ex-
ploding them and blowing the frail
craft to fragments. The gasoline was
already running low and some desper-
ate expedient must be attemptd within
the next two seconds. While the pilot
held his craft to an wen keel the pas
senger erawied from his seat to the
wing and thence to the rigging below.
The bombs must be released with the
greatest dslicacy TO prevent their sx-
ploding. Impossible a. the feat seem
ed, It was at last accomplished and
the passenger resainsd his ssst N
safsty.
