On and after September Is 19 SECRETS OF THE SEA. Mystery of Vessels Which Disappear Without Known Cause- Nothing is more fascinating than try ing to fathom the secrets of the deep, particularly win u it comes to speculat ing on the fate of vessels which have disappeared without known cause. There are many such cases, and they are absolutely baffling. Ships have gayly left port, with every prospect of a safe voyage, never to be heard of again. What are the secrets of these mys terious vauishings of stately ships with tiif'ir crews and cargoes? In nineteen cases out of twenty the secrets lie with the ships many fathoms deep and will perhaps never leap to light. To thi; day no one knows what became of the City of Glasgow, which set her sails so gallantly in the Mer cy half a cen tury and more ago, bound for I'liilu- d; phla.

For years there has been great toes from decay in shipping fresh fruits, both citrus and deciduous, from this state to eastern markets. The rail roads have seldom been able to get fruit trains through on schedule time, and the necessary allowance for delay has compelled growers to pick their fruit before it was fully ripe, to the loss of some of the flavor and also to the loss of some of the weight which the fruit would gain if left on the tree. Some fruits- pears, for example—ripen best after picking and are regularly picked quite greeu, but others do not. Fruit picked in a temperature in the sun of more than 100 degrees ami packed in boxes at once carried very nearly Unit temperature into the car with it, and it was found load closely packed would thousand 11 it a cm mo flix i i RED LIQUID IN THE EARTH. New Substance Brought Up In Boring For an Aqueduct. Workmen making soundings for the Catsklll aqueduct at Varlan’s Mills, near Peeksklll, N. Y., hare gone to a depth of 380 feet without striking a solid foundation. The location of the drill is to be changed within a few days If a good bottom is not struck. At the depth of about 350 feet the drill went through a stratum which gave forth a liquid of dark red color, almost the color of blood and quite thick, says tn Ossining (N. Y.) special dispatch to the New York Times. Samples of the fluid have been sent to New York for analysis. The men on the machines say that they have never seen anything like It, and they are curious to know' the na ture and character of the subsiaace. After the red liquid had been pumped out the drill passed through a very flue quality of molding sand.

Green profited by bis experience and this year built a framework on poles twenty-five feet in the air. On the framework be constructed a huge plat form which extended many feet be yond the poles. The result was that ambitious youths, suiflclently agile to climb the poles, could gain nothing by the performance, as their progress would be Mocked by the extending platform.
