Asia Minor SkinIess Fruit
Has Pit and Edible Kernel;
1t Is Both Nut and Peach

The connecting link between the
sweet almond and the bitter kernel Of
the peach pit is found in the nut peach
Of the Persian gulf and Tigro-Eu
pirates valley (nuzhapersika), sold in
many American cities by foreign fruit
importers. This combination of a
luscious fruit and choice nut in one is
unique with single exception-an am
ber colored plum of the Caspian re-
gion which has an almond-like kernel.
The nut peach differs from the ordi-
nary peach in that 1t has no skin; the
surface is waxlike with beautiful red
tints which cause a striking resem-
blance to n CONNECTION. You do not
peel 1t any more than you would peel
a strawberry. 1t is very fragrant.
Darwin's theory, according to the
Scientific American. that the common
peach is descendant of the almond
finds substantiation in the nut peach,
though the scientist probably had no
knowledge Of the intermediary fruit
The rough shell which incases the
ordinary bitter peach kernel has little
resemblance to the comparatively
smooth, light almond shell; but 1t is
said that willy Levantine almond ex-
pOrters sometimes adulterate their
almond shipments with peach stones,
the ridges of which have been worn
smooth by friction. The pit Of the nut
peach resembles that of the common
peach. 1t is large. rough, almost as
hard to crack as black walnut and
is "free"-that is, it drops out when
the fruit is halved.

FIRELEss COOKER IS HANDY
No Radiators Are Used in Some, While
in Others Iron or soapstone
Is Employed.

Any woman who cannot afford to
buy factory-built fireless cooker can
make one with little expense. Home
demonstration agents of the United
States department of agriculture and
the state agricultural colleges are
teaching women all over the country
how to make them. No radiators are
used In some homemade fireless cook
ers. while In others radiators of iron
or sOapstone are put In to supply extra
heat. In place of the regulation type
of radiator, some ingenious club wom-

The stones We're gathered from creek.
Ordinary baling wire was wound
around the stone and made into han
die. Data has been kept by one of
the women as to the length of time re-
quired to heat such stone as COM

that the rocks heat as quickly as the

Nearly all women regard washing

strength for the work dread wash day
because when the task is once start
ed 1t cannot be put aside readily If
something comes up. Modern methods
of laundry reduce the time and
strength needed and save the clothes,
say specialists in the United States
department of agriculture.
Good Laundry Methods.
Clothes should be sorted accord
ing to the kind of garment and the
amount of soil. Stains should be re-
moved, and the clothes soaked in cool
water, or If it is convenient, soap
badly soiled parts, roll up, just cover
with water and let them stand over
night
A soap solution makes suds more
quickly than soap in the cake. 1t
also cleans more evenly, with less
wear to the material, than soap
rubbed on. A quantity for use as
needed can be made up at one time
by dissolving one cake of white soap
or two cups of soap flakes, chips or
scraps. in three quarts of hot water.
For blankets add two tablespoonfuls
of borax and one-fOurth cupful am
monia.

Flower Fields of Thibet

Over great undulating slopes in
Thibet are spread whole fields of flow
ers. There are miles of purple and
blue monkshood, thousands of the
great yellow mountain poppy, and
everywhere bright patches of color. 1t
Is regular paradise for bees, birds

knows little Of the region. and few
travellers even have had the time,

the necessary companions OF one who
would reach the roof OF the world"
Specimens are collected and dried
In presses for botanists. The marshy
banks of streams are searched for
fiowery gems, and smooth, grassy
slopes are scrutinlzed. every rocky
ledge being viewed with hopeful eye.
The specimens collected are given
or sold to botanical collections. and
the seeds to those who had subscribed
to the expedition, and In due course
the little strangers from far-or lands
begin to beautify our own gardens.

Work for Mining Engineers
Well versed in Practical
and All Technical Details

"A sound physique and rugged
health are important qualifications for
the career of mining engineering. Ex-
tensive travel and the study of mines
under great variety Of conditions are
often necessary" says an article in
Boys Life on "When You Grow Up
Mining Engineer?" zone prominent
engineer averaged 1900 miles travel
year for IL years. by steamship,
horseback, snow shoe, and camel back,
ranging from the arctics to the tropics.
Even in ordinary conditions the min
ing engineer must stand the strain of
irregular food and sleep. hardship,
hard work, and frequent danger.
Health, energy, concentration. keen OBJ
servation, strict honesty and tact are
cess.
"The financial rewards of mining en-
gineerlng compare favorably with 9TH
er professions. While young doctor
or lawyer will be fortunate to get a
living out Of his work during the first
two or three years, the mining en-
gineer is practically assured of
salary at least sufficient for his support
from the start. There is demand for
capable mining engineers and superin-
tendents that know both the practical
and technical details of mining. There
is perhaps no field that offers better
inducements to young men of intel
ligence, energy, and ambition. There
are. of course, extremes of success and
failure in this as in any profession
One large mining corporation engaged
a prominent engineer for ten years at
100000 a year.
1.-The field of mining is so broad that
the average man has no difficulty in
finding congenial work in some of it's
numerous branches. The broad educa-
tion of the weil-trained mining en-
gineer fits him to turn to the allied
branches of chemistry, geology, metal
lurgy, civil, mechanical. and electrical
engineering, so that he is man of
many resources. 1t is profession
which brOadens the mind and gives
opportunities for travel and profitable
investment. The profession claims
many men of the worldwide reputa-
ton. American mining engineers un-
questionably take the lead in all parts
of the world"

Deep Voices Require More
Force Than the Sopranos

Delicate scientific measurements
nave proved that contralto. barytone,
and bass singers use far more force
than soprano and tenor singers need.
The explanation is that the lower
tones leave wider space between
the vocal cords and require more
vibration OF the membranes, more air,
and much more force. 1t is said that
