TBOPIC FRUIT PEOCESS. A NEW SYSTEM CF EVAPORATION RECENTLY PERFECTED. Authorities Think It Will Revolutionize the Fruit Trade-Nay Give to Dwellers ia the Comparatively Unproductive . North Blessings or the Prodigal South. The decline of the tropical regions of America has of lata years been a fruit ful topic of discussion. Well provided as the public has been with statistics as" to the condition of those* once fa vored countries, no one who has not seen with his eyes the present state of . affairs can fully realize the change. In a land where nature is so prodigal that almost the casual thrusting of a branch into the earth insures a tree, desolation and poverty are everywhere found. The reason is plain enough; it is only the remedy that has remained a problem. The products of the tropics are gratis, and the exportation of these involves a greater risk and a larger knowledge of the subject than has been at the command of these countries. On every side there is a waste of food fairly maddening to the student of economics; but uow to utilize this su perabundance, how to convey it in proper shape to the millions who win only a bare sustenance from over worked soils in other countries, is the great and hitherto unsolved problem. The solution now suggested is one which has the sanction of Australia, and this means more than appears on the surface. Whether it be because Australia has fewer lives to care for and finds them more precious, or be cause the authorities have less to do, cannot be now debated; but the fact is that Australians are not permitted jj; to poison themselves with adulterated food, as is the glorious privilege of free citizens in this country. The govern ment watches with a never sleeping eye the food which supplies the tables . of the people. When, therefore, the Australian government indorses a process and gives it medals galore, it means that science has set her seal on it The system of fruit preservation which is now being introduced into the West Indies and Central America has and vegetables are not dried on the """countries of Australasia. Th new system is one of evapora tion, but the process differs from oth ers in that it is quickly done and in sures absolute cleanliness. The fruit and vegetables are not dried on the ground for days together, like figs, prunes and similar preserves. Five or six hours is all that is required to change the fruit into an article that will keep fer months and years, and still preserve the original flavor-In some cases actually improve it It is not, however, so much the mechanical process as the effect on the tropics which interests the ordinary observer, and it is in this direction that it is at present being developed^^ Tie?e_i5^aa-^ruit tn \he**world so 3y~and cheap to raise as the banana, or which contains more nutriment and .can be served in a greater variety of wavs. Yet there ?3 no fruit which is -'commodities. There is. banana dour, to begin with, a delicacy which is used for the making of cake3, fritters and the like. There is banana prepared as a substitute (an excellent one) for cit ron and raisons in fruit cake. It also makes a delicate preserve not unlike and quite as delicate as figs and prunes. Banana butter is another product; this is a sort of jam, which is not unkuown in tropical countries as a great delicacy rather difficult to make by the old-fashioned process. All these products can now be marketed at a small cost The machinery is not elaborate, and the original cost of the fruit is almost nothing. It is esti mated that the banana butter, for in stance, can be put on the European market and sold there at less than half the price of any native condiment. To the poor of Europe, whose list of deli cacies so limited, this will be no email blessing. The banana is not the only tropical fruit which is being treated by the new process. Any one who has lived in tropical countries knows that tb? ne groes who are out of the track of civil ization make from the cassava a kind of.nour which is extremely wholesome and cheap. This is also being put up for exportation. The extremely nu tritious okra (the value of which is fully realized in the tropics, where it is constantly in use as a food for in valids) is being prepared in quantities for exportation. In its canned form the okra necessarily fails to retain all its value as a food, but the exaporated vegetable has been proved by analysis to contain all the nultriment. The man who makes okra soup a standard food among the poor of any country is be stowing a permenent benefit. Sweet jpotatc flour is also' made for exporta tion. The British government is just now unusually keen as to the cond'.ion of it West Indian possessions. As long as fruit is the chief product of those countries, and as long as old methods of exportation prevail, so long will the decline of the West Indies continue. Once save the enormous waste by finding a market for the innumerable products of the south, and the islands will regain their old prestige. The government of Jamaica has been in terested in the evaporation question, and a favorable outcome seems prob able. In Central America the process is now fully appreciated. From Santa Tomas, Guatemala, the British army is now receiving supplies of evaporated food. The republics of Central Ameri ca have all indorsed the process and are beginning to experimnt on their own account. From a trade point of view the innovation ls important. Fruit authorities think that it is likely to revolutionize the tropical fruit trade. Be this as it may, there is great in terest in watching the attempt to give to dwellers in thc comparatively un productive north some of the blessings of the prodigal south. Spiritualists In France.

I THE BIBLE AND A MYSTERY. Only Three Men in the India Paper Sa* cret at Oxford. It is fairly well known, says the ; Golden Penny, that the Universit?s of ? Oxford and Cambridge, having paid j ?20,000 toward the cost of publica- j tion, are joint owners of the copy right of the Revised Version. The j copyrights of the Authorized Version j and of the Book of Common Prayer, however, are vested in the Crowu, and authority to print th.im in Eng land is given by patent to the king's printers, and by charter to the Uni versit?s of Oxford and Cambridge. There is, probably, not another print ing press in the world which issues so many copies of thc Bible as that of the Oxford university, where the fa mous India paper, a quarter of a cen tury ago, revolutionized both the Bibb and the prayer book trade. Oxford's answer to the question whether the circulation of the Bible is decreasing is emphatically: "No." The output averages about a million com - plete copies every year, apart from New Testaments, separate portions and Welsh Bibles. Justly proud cf their printing the authorities of the press make a standing offer of a guinea to anybody who first points out a print er's error in any edition of the Author ized Version and as there are over 70 editions of the Oxford Bible alto gether, it is sufficient testimony to the excellence of the work to say that the bill for these errors-the errors them selves being usually of the most triv ial character-rarely amounts to more than two or three guineas a year. There are a few obsolete words in the Bible, however-"astonied," for ex ample-which are a constant source of trouble on this account, raising false hopes in the breasts cf many a would be winner of the guinea reward, and involving correspondence with appli cants from all over the world. Today the Bible, in all its stages, is produced by the best workmanship in the trade, and under the most watchful care it is possible to provide. This remark is equally true of each of the three great houses from which wa get our Bioles. The Oxford Press is remarkable from the fact that it not only prints its books, but manufactures its own paper, makes its own type for some 50 or 60 languages, maintains its own bindery-where the t-kins of at least 100,000 animals are annually pre pared for Bibles alene-and, in short, does everything connected with the work from start to finish. The Oxford type foundery is interesting as being the oldest establishment of its kind in England.

're Strengthen ing to Nut Ion?. Man is an animal, and Darwin has shown that not only is he closely akin ! to other animals, but'that the law j which control the development of thc lower animals also control the devel opment of man. Hs has also shown that crossed breeds of animals ar-j larger and stronger than either parent ! When we examine into the origin of the English people we find the ancient ! Britons fighting and mingling with th-! Romans and subsequently with the Picts, Scots, Danes Saxons and Nor mans. For more than a thousand years these various breeds of men hav-i crossed and recrossed, until they have been molded into that homogeneous mass that we know as Englishmen. Turning to the United States, we find the foundations of a new nation laid by the sturdiest and most enterprising of these Englishmen. They landed on 1 the then distant shore, conquered the wilderness, organized a new govern ment closely akin to the old, and In - vited the people of all the world to join them. The Slavs, the Germans and the Latins mingle together, and in a few years become neo-Anglo-Saxoni. or what may be more properly termed Anglo-Americans. The evolution go ing on in the United States is also go ing on in Canada, in South America, in Australia, in New Zealand and in other smaller places scattered around the world. There is thus being formed, on a gigantic scale, a new race of men, built on the strongest lines on which it is possible to construct human be ings. The different sections of this new race have a common languago and literature, the same laws and cus toms, and the trend of industrial civ ilization gives them Identical political interests.-Engineering Magazine. Elevators in Churches. There are something liKe 165,000 church edifices in this country, many of them large and costly modern struc tures, on expensive sites. Yet so far as we can learn not a church in Amer ica avails itself of the elevator. The business advantage of the ele vator is obvious. Where land is ex pensive it pays for itself many times by making practical a repetition of floors otherwise out of the question. Instead of spreading out the modern structure shoots up. Elevators in churches could be used for two purposes: First, to increase the value of a gallery. Where a church has a gallery this is generally the neglected and unpopular part. An elevator might easily raise pew rents sufficiently to make it a very profita ble investment Office and apartment rentals have ueen thus revolutionized. And, second, the social facilities of a church could be furnished without the expense of additional lots and a sepa rate construction. This might be done without impairing the churchly char acter of the architecture.-Church Economist, JBlieumatiara, Cniarrh Curod 'J'ltroujrh ttl? Blood.

One of the suggested explanations, he saidi requires that in a tree 120 feet in height the transpiration of force must- equal a pressure of 360 pounds to the square inch, but there Is no evidence that anything like such a force exists in a tree. This is one of ! the problems in science that the 19th I century has bequeathed to the 20th. All snakes hibernate during the '//in ter and are in so torpid a condition during the period that they breathe seldom during the 24 hours. Small ones seek for their winter refuge rot ten stumps, hollow or partially de Ncayed logs. Larger ones hide in holes in the 'ground and in crevic?s in reek. Brought under the influence of a fire they revive, but usually die afterward as a result The turtles, too, Ireathe seldom while dormant. The land va rieties burrow under hollow treed, .where there is an abundance of loose ? mould, in order to escape the frost. The water turtles retreat into the mud.

One of the disadantages of mo tor driven ambulances has been that they do not get the right of way as easily as horse driven vehicles. The ! familiar clanging of the ambulance j gong and the sound of the clattering ? hoofs of the horses was always sure to clear the way promptly for an am- , lmlance. Now the ambulances have been provided with electric lights .which do not differ materially from .those which other electric vehicles car- , ry, and the result is that trucks or wagons do not get out of the way as quickly, lt has been suggested that compressed air whistles or larger gongs might be used.

On English ships thc >use of electricity is still confined to incandescent lights, searchlights and Signal apparatus, but upon the Kear sarge and the Kentucky steam pipes are almost entirely abolished. All this makes it necessary for the of ficers and sailors of the navy to have a thorough knowledge of the electrical science, and schools of instruction, both for officers and enlisted men, with electrical workshops, have been estab lished at Newport and at the navy yards in New York City.

An exceptionally Important paper dealing with the frictional effect of railway trains upon the air has recent ly been published by the St. Louis Academy of Science. This inxestiga tlon was undertaken by Professor F. E. Nipher, at the request of a leading railroad, and was the sequel of a law suit in which the railroad was defeated. In the case referred to a boy, standing near the track, was overthrown by a rapidly passing train, rolled under the wheels and killed. The evidence showed that he was not struck by the train, but was overwhelmed by the air suction and dragged under. The su preme court of Missouri, however, re- I pudiated the evidence of two leading j scientific men as to the probability of death being caused in such a way, and denied, by inference, the possibility of \ such effects, with which everybody who has ever stood by a fast moving train is familiar. The investigation showed, as a matter of fact, that with trains going at the rate of 40 miles an hour, there is an inward pressure of the air of from four to six pounds per square foot at a distance of 30 inches from the train, and that still air is reached only at a distance of many feet. A Neuv Source of Ht bb:-r. A process for extracting rubber from the hule plant has been discovered by a Mexican living at Sierra Mojado, and a factory for this purpose has been es tablished at San Luis Potosi. This plant is a species of sagebrush, with small leaves, which grows to a height of about three feet and is found not ouly in Mexico, but also In Texas.Wyo ming and Nebraska. It grows in moun tainous regions, and is said to contain 40 percent of rubber. The plant is first cut up by machinery and then mixed with certain chemicals in a steam jack eted tank. The product is then sub mitted to hydraulic pressure and run into a setting tank, where the chemi cals and other waste substances are drawn off from the heavier gum, which settles at the bottom of the tank. Thc accounts furnished do not mention the quality of the rubber produced, hut they state that while the cost of pro duction is slight the high cost of trans porting the material is a serious diffi culty.
