Ripening Fruit.
ITi-h temp ,attires seeiu, very curi
ously, to retard tlie ripening of pears,
wHlle hastening that of apples. In ex
periments described by Overholser
and Tayl-r in the Botanical Gazette,
tlie ripening of green first-crop Bart
lett pears raised from 70 degrees P.
< r r.'Om temperature, to 85 degrees
was not affected, but at 87.7 degrees
it was delayed five days, and at 94 de
gree;. and Iv'i degrees the delay was
i;: daj *. Second-crop Bartiett pears,
in a temperature of 101 degrees, and
: : u: :ded by a relative humidity of
below 50 per cent, remained unripe
four weeks after similar pears at
room temperature and humidity had
become fully ripened. The flavor of
pears kept above So degrees was af
fect. • I. sw-.'c iess and Juiciness being
diminished. The ripening of Yellow
N'eu ion m' "s on the other hand', was
hastened : ' every appreciable rise in
temperature from 5!) degrees up to
the [M.'nt of destruction by burning.
It Is co?jelude.! that the picking of
pears i.;.iy be delayed in very hot
weaili: ■. but that the picking of ap
ples a::d storage iti a cool must
be liasicued.

KING SPLITS ROYAL ESTATE
Spanish Monarch to Parcel Out 2,500
Acres of Land in Small
Farm Plots.
Madrid. — Instructions hnve been
given by King Alfonso for the forma
tion of an agricultural syndicate, the
object of which will fie the parceling
out of the king's royal estate aF El
Pardo. nine miles west of this city,
for cultivation under the auspices of
the Catl'.olic Agrarian federation.
The property contains nearly 2.500
acres and will he divided into small
plots.
A plan lias been devised which will
permit laborers to acquire the land
allotted to them.
SAILORS HOLD ODD BELIEFS
Salt-Water Mariners Cling With Te
nacity ts Many Superstitions at
Which Landsman Laughs.
Near!}- nil ships tarry a horseshoe.
Usually it is nailed somewhere In the
stein. The liorseslioe has been a fe
tish with sailors ever since Nelson
nailed one to the mast of the Victory.
Sailors- have uiany superstitions. A
sailor who wears a baby's caul feels
himself immune from death by drown
ing. And after a long trip the sailor
who first sights land will have a good
voyage home. Jack becomes decided
ly uneasy if be hum's "land-lubber
lingo" on the ocean. Therefore, If
ever you are a passenger don't let him
hear you reter to the deck of a cabin
as the "floor," the companion as the
"stairs" or the alleyway us the "lobby"
or "passage." It is bad form, and un
lucky. Whistling at sea stirs up evil
winds. A cuttlefish swimming on top
of the waves also betokens a storm.
A squall may be expected when an al
batross alights on the deck or when a
seagull dies between the foremast and
the mainmast. But If llie seagull tlies
between the mainmast and the mizzen
tua^t fair winds will prevail. Cats are
considered unlucky to have on board
ship. Up to the last twenty years
most sailors wore earrings for luck.
No sailor will shoot at birds for fear
of destruction of his ship. It is unlucky
to kill a petrel. These birds, cailed by
sailors "Mother Carey's chickens"—a
corruption of "Hater Cara" (mother
dearest)—are the sailor's friends.
They give warning of an approaching
storm. Legend has It that each of
these birds bears the soul of a dead
seaman.—London Times.
