 A case of extremely large seedless oranges was sent to me from Florida one year, and I showed the Kaiser one oI them. It was so large he thought it was a grapefruit, and he expressed his admiration for the attainments of men who could thus coax nature into excelling herself for the common good.
 I told him of the loganberry which had been developed in the west, and he sent representative to me afterward to ascertain how a sample could be se- cured for experimental purposes. He said he would plant it in the royal experi- mental gardens and ascertain If it was feasible to grow the berries in Germany. The proprietor of large delicatessen store told me that the Kaiser had sent a representative to him to purchase some loga nberry jelly, and had been told that had called it to the Kaiser's atten- ton.
 If the Germans could not duplicate our inventions, they were quick enough to realize their value and adopt them. AL most as soon as Wright's demonstration
