For' many years California's fruit growers have tried in vain to rales this particularly desirable fruit.

She was a European, a Spaniard, from on of the Balearic Isles. Strangely, she was very fair, with blonde Bair full of a dusky gold sheen. She has been taken to Oran, at the extreme western end of Algeria, by a Spanish naval officer, and there In a few week had been deserted. For some months she was a derelict In that town. After old Hlspano-Manreeqher child was born she had gone Inland to hlll-aTlemcen, the old Moorish town that ttanda within alght of the frontier of Morocco. There a rich Moor had taken her to his harem. On his death few montha later aha bad been purchased by a Jew from Algiers, an I straightway sold to a young Turk at Bona.

An improved system of illuminating the bowling alley has been devised by Custave Burkhsrdt, of Chicago, 111., and as this game has recently become very popular, a description of his intention will be cf great interest to the devotees of this sport, which now comprises a great army. 'This invention is In the nature of an improved appli- al ance for reflecting the light and Indicating the set of the pins, and It primarily seeks to provide a reflector of an economical construction and in a filch the reflector walls are so arranged relatively to the light that the rays thereof can be positively concentrated within a desired radius and the burner held, invisible.

In order to measure distances, surfaces, volumes, time and force, standard units were long ago found Indispensable, and this ia, of course, absolutely so in determining hr measuring the quantity of light tn any luminous body. This unit Is the Intensity of the light of the standard candle, which Is a sperm candle weighing of & pound and burning 120 grains an hour. By this means it is found by astronomers that the Intensity of the sunlight Is such that when the sun Is in the zenith it Illuminates & white surface about 60,000 times as strongly as a standard candle at a distance of thirty-nin- e Inches. Comparing thu sunlight wfih that of the full moon, the surprising result Is arrived at that the former l8 about 600,000 times that of the latter. Again the interesting fact is now established that of all the different kinds of artificial light that can be produced as yet by man, the most intense Is the brilliant spot In tbe crater of an electric arc, but, d as dazzling as It is, It Is but bright as the surface of the sun Itself. one-six- th ed So greatly has grown the demand for barrels, many of which are shipped out of the country, that It haa been found difficult to meet it, the chief source of trouble being to secure the wooden hoops used for this purpose. Tbe spiral wire Is said to answer the purpose faultlessly. It permits of the same treatment at the hands of the cooper, and the spiral exerts a tension which enables tbe barrel to withstand rough uqige to a greater degree than the wooden hoops. - Chine Mu lent Clock.
