THREE-MINUTE JOURNEYS
WHERE THE BIG RED APPLES GRO\
By Temple Manning

, carefully kept small SO that their
strength will go to apples.
The climate of this section of
Washington is quite mild, despite
the fact that it is a considerable
distance above the sea level.
There is an average rainfall Of
about eight or ten inches, which
is only about a third of what is
needed. Therefore, irrigation en-
tiers into the scheme of things.
Fortunately the Columbia is very
wide and deep and full of pure
water which is fed by the Cana
dian rockies SHOWS and glaciers,
giving an inexhaustible supply Of
water for irrigation.
1t is also possible to navigate
up to this point and the apple
crops go down to market from
their own ranches by water.
The fresh mountain air and the
deep and rapidly running river,
the dark green patches on the
landscape which are the irrigated
ranches, distinguished from the
pale green or brown of the un-
cultivated stretches, make a pic
ture undeniably lovely.
During the picking season
droves of nomads who drift North
from the orange groves of the
South settle around the ranches,
and their tents and encampments
add to the picturesqueness.
The even climate, the steady
supply of water, never too much
and always enough, the soil rich
in phosphates, and the scientific
protection against fruit plaques
of any sort cause the apples to
grow in surprising sizes. Certain
varieties of these Western apples
are a bit dry compared to the
New England apple, but others
are quite as delicious and much
finer physical specimens.

" HOSE big, red, rosy apples
that sell at 10 or Is cents
each in the fancy fruit
stores are products of the great
West. Some come from Colorado
and northern California, but the
bulk are grown in the Columbia
river region of Washington and
Oregon.
The heart of the Washington
apple region is Wenatchee, on
the upper Columbia, about half
way between the coast range and
the Rockies. Here is a thriving,
up-to-date, progressive town, so
prosperous looking that it makes
you want to stay and grow up
with a country that has had such
a good start. There are some
ten thousand inhabitants, banks,
theaters, shops, and clubs-and
the entire town is built on apples.
The great apple ranches extend
around Wenatchee following the
various tributaries Of the Column
bia, Of which there are number
at this place.
It happens that a large part Of
this country is of volcanic origin,
and volcanic soil is the richest
and finest IN the world for the
production of fruit. Witness the
slopes of Vesuvius, which for
thousands of years have grown
marvellous grapes, oranges, and
lemons.
The ideal location for an apple
ranch is upon a shelf overlook
ing the river, high enough up to
avoid the floods which frequently
come in the spring.
The trees are laid out In even
rows, and a ranch Of 200 acres
will frequently have as many as
10000. or $4,000 trees upon 1t.
These trees are rarely more than
fifteen feet in height and are

GARRETT P. SERVISS ON ORIGIN
OF CONTINENTS

A WRITER in the Revue Sci
"a entifiQue' justly remarks
IA that there is growing up
by the side of the science of
geology a kind Of "parageology,"
which is entirely hypothetical,
and. in fact, is no more than sci
entific romance.
An example is a recent French
work on the origin of the great
reliefs of the earth's crust in which
the idea is developed that the
earth once had four satellites mot
counting the noon which were
successfully condensed" upon the
globe, in early geological or ante
geological periods, each such
descent of satellite being fol-
lowed by an augmentation Of the
volume of the earth and an in
crease of it's velocity of rotation.
Along with the accelerated ro-
tation and augmented radius came
an increase of the polar flattening,
and the development of en-
dency in the crust to break along
lines of weakness. This was fol-
lowed by foldings and the creation
of geosynclinals and roof-shaped
elevations. That such thrusts of
the earth's crust have occurred is
a well-known fact Of observation,
the Alps being the creation of the
latest known CONFUSION Of that
kind; but observation does not
bear out the hypothesis that the
underlying cause was the descent
of satellites upon the earth.
1t seems probable that there
was an early time in the history
Of the globe when practically no
mountains existed, but 1t would
require the condensation" upon
the earth's surface Of many more
than the four hypothetical satel.
htes Of this theory, to explain
in that way the origin Of all the
mountain systems of whose ex.
istence. in the past, geology has
evidence.
And there is no necessity Of
inventing satellites and bringing
them Down upon the earth in or
der to explain the commissions,
upheavals, and foldings that it's
crust has undergone. Vast noun
tain systems have been worn

down to their roots" and others
have afterward been uplifted,
but geology has detected no indi-
cation that outside agencies,
such as the fall of satellites,
were concerned in the produc-
ton of these effects. Internal
forces and meteorological In
fluences seem entirely adequate
for this work.
A specious appearance Of
soundness is sometimes given to
such speculative hypothesis by
the display Of imposing mathe-
NAUTICAL calculations; but those
who are a little accustomed to
this method Of dealing are not so
readily led, for they know that
anything can be proved" by
mathematics If you are particular
in selecting the right kind of
data. Look carefully at the grain
that goes into the mill II you
want to be sure Of your grigt.
A similar specimen OF para
geology" that has lately attracted
attention and wonderment, Is the
theory Of German scientist that
the continents Of the earth as wel
see them today have been formed
by the breaking up Of a vast
original land, of which Asia-Eu-
rope is the largest remaining
element.
The separated pieces are sup
posed to have "drifted" away
