Addition to List Of
Fruits Without Seeds

There have long been seedless or
anges, lemons and grapefruit, and now
there are seedless apples.
A seedless fruit does not propagate
its own species. 1t CRAFTS itself on
branches grown from fruit with seeds
The seedy mother provides the fecun-
dity; the seedless fruit gives the pulp
and the flavor.
The idea of a seedless apple comes
from the seedless orange of Califor-
mia, freak of nature discovered over
hundred years ago. About 1920 a
missionary of Bahia, Brazil, discovered
a new kind of orange growing wild
which contained seeds of propagation
not in its own body, but in little
sac at the top. He sent IL Of the
trees to the United States, and al
though they did not live long, others
were budded from them, and are bud
ding still.
A Mrs. Eliza Tibbets gave us Wash
ington Navels, oranges without seeds.
One of the trees she planted in 1873
is still alive and producing good fruit.
Next in favor come valencias, with
about seed apiece. 1t is as well
they retain it, for California grows
most of the best oranges of the world,
and if there were no seeds there would
soon be no oranges.

VIII Measure Volcano

The United States coast and geodet-
ic survey of the Commerce depart
ment Is cooperating with the geo.
logical survey to determine, by the
most accurate survey methods, the ex-
act elevation of Mauna Loa, in Ha-
wall, reputed TO be the highest active
volcano in the world. The height has
been given as 1865 feet, but this fig
ure may have to be revised somewhat,
since the original survey was not
made with high degree of accuracy.
The most important point in the sur
vey, from scientific standpoint, is the
question of whether the whole volcan-
ic cone is rising or sinking. This can
only be determined by additional ac-
curate surveys at intervals of five to
ten years and will eventually furnish
scientists with additional information
as the "why" of volcanoes.

Sugar Cane in America

Sugar cane was introduced into the
New world shortly after its discovery,
and it is recorded that in 1913 many
sugar mills were in operation on the
Island of Santo Domingo. 1t was not
until 1851, however, that the plant was
grown in continental America, as re-
suit of the importation Of cuttings by
Jesuts in Louisiana. From that time
it was cultivated in desultory man.
ner until the end of the Eighteenth
century, when> the failure of indigo
and other crops forced the Louisiana
planters to turn their attention to the
manufacture of sugar as a source of

Infant Prodigy Is Fifty

American music lovers who can turn
their memories to the time when Josef
Hoffman, was billed as the Infant
prodigy" will find 1t rather difficult
to realize that the then youthful plan
list is today celebrating his fiftieth
birthday anniversary. Yet 1t was
on this date in 1877 that Hoffman, first
saw the light, in the city OF Cracow
His father was a musician and COM
poser of some note and 1t was from
him that the future renowned pianist
received his first musical lessons in
infancy. His progress was so rapid
that at the age of seven he attracted
the favorable attention Of the great
Rubenstein. At ten he made his first
visit to the United States, but was
compelled to abandon his concert tour
because of interference by the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Chill
dren. At a later age Hoffman, re-
turned to America, and has since been
heard in cities throughout the coun-
try.-Kansas City Times.
