THE APPLE PACK.
Points In the Progressive Method of
Hood River.
To assist those apple growers who
want to put a better jiaok of apples on
the market the Orepcou experiment sta
tion has Issued some information that
Includes siiKSestinns from tha pro
gressive uietluxls of thf famous Hood
fiver apple growers. Most of the fruit
Of this reirioti. it appear. Is packed in
what Is known as the standard box,
which measures iu inches 104 by 114

by IS, but to accommodate certain ap
ples a special box is used which is
longer and a tfitle narrower, beinji 10
by 11 by no. These are all inside meas
urements. Experience lias shown that
as regards tliiekness of material the
three-nu.irter inch is the best for ends,
threc-cidillis for sides and one-quarter
for top and bottom.
In speaking of the styles of pack the
trade iu ireiicial understands the packs
only v hen designated as straight or
diagonal. Many people prefer to desig
nate the packs as tliree, three and one
half, four, four and one-half or live
tier.
In the straight pack the rows run
straight across the box. parallel to the
edges. This pa 1; includes all the tliree.
four and live tier apples. The straight
pack is very neat iu appearance, but it
is rather severe on the fruit, as each
apple tends to be pressed firmly
against surrounding apples rather than
Into the spaces. Some packers place
the apple on its side, others pack with
the stems up, while some have the
calyx up. Tlie best packs should al
ways have the bottom and top layers
with stems toward the outside. Iu this
way the apples do not tend to bruise
as badly.
The four tier consists of four rows
across the top and four deep, includ
lug the !j (six tiers longi. the IL'S
(eight tiers longi and the 111! (seven
tiers long i.
The diagonal pack, or diamond pack,
as It Is often called, is so termed be
cause the rows run diagonally with
the edge of the box. Its chief advan
tage is that it accommodates sizes that
do not adapt themselves readily to the
straight pack, although in some cases j
we hud that the diagonal contains the j
same number of apples us certain j
straight packs. The diagonal pack con- j
tains the half tiers, such as three and
one-half and four and one-half. One
of the advantages of the diagonal pack I
Is that it allows the apples to adjust!
themselves more readily to the space !

TIlltLB AND ONE-HALF TIE11, FIAUON'AL.
In the box, for when (he pressure Is
brought to liear the apples tend to find
spaces, whereas in the straight packs
each apple Is brought up firmly against
Its neighbor.
In the three and one-half tier we
find that more than three full rows
and yet not four full rows are needed
to fill the box. One can readily see
that a good many apples would come
In this class, and more different packs
ore being used with the three and a
half than vuilLojiny other.

ABSENCE Of MII10.
A Funny Story About Am per, tha Fa
moua Mathematician.
You all know the old Joke of the pro
fessor who, pondering orar the say in
that in a railway accident absenca of
body was a good deal better than ab
sence of mind, went to the nearavt
railway station and tried to take a
ticket "for the noareat railway acci
dent," so. as to have the matter proved
to his own satisfaction. You doubt
less know the story, too, of the pro
fessor of mnthetuatlea whose new par
lor maid told him when ho rang at his
own door that Trofessor Jones waa
out. "I'll call again, I'll cat! again," ha
said and went away.
But thee ar stories merely. Here,
however, are some incidents from real
life: Ampere was remarkably absent
minded. Hundreds of stories of hla
absentmindednes aro told, but quite
the funniest is that of his dinner at tha
house of M. Fontanes, tho grand mae
ter of the University of I'aris. For
Jok? somebody had told Ampere that
he must jro tn the dinner In his aca
demician's uniform of green and gold
and girt with his sword. When he got
to tho house be was very much an
noyed to find everybody else in ordi
nary evening dress. "I will get rid of
the sword at nil events." ho said to
himself and slipped it behind the cush
ions of a sofa. After dinner Ampere
forgot himself, as usual, and became
lost in abstruse calculation. lie took a
little piece of chalk out of his pocket
and began working out problems on
the black sstiu cover of the mantel
piece. He became so absorbed in what
lie was doing that all the guests left
without his noticing them, and when
lie wrote down t. K. li. no one was
left in the room except Mine. Fou
tanes. and she unfortunately sat fast
asleep tin the sofa where Ampere's
sword lay hidden.
Ampere went down upon his knees
and (Milled gently at the sword, so as
to g't it away without waking the
lady. He Milled and pulled, and pres
ently the sword came out without the
scabbard. At this moment Mine. Fon
tanel awoke and alarmed the house
with her screams of terror at seeing a
man on his knees before her with a
drawn sword iu his hand.
But mathematical professors have
not the monopoly if nbscntminded
nes. La I'ontali.e, whose tables are
the delight of adult Frenchmen and
their children's earliest task, went to
the court of Louis XVI. to present a
copy of his fables to the king. And he
forgot the hook. Fortunately, the king
knew La Fontaine, his fables and his
foibles and gao him a thousand pis
toles (about i?'nn. Unfortunately,
though. La Fontaine left the money In
his hired carriage on his way back to
Taris.
But the prettiest piece of absent
mindedness of which I have ever heard
was that of I'rofessor TozzI, who ask
ed a lady who was bewailing the fact
that she had no children whether she
thought the failing was hereditary.
This Is even more amusing than the
delightful answer made by the engi
neer of the Seine tunnel, M. Herller, to
a servant who told him when he went
to call upon his lawyer that that gen
tleman had died that morning. "Oh,"
said M. Berlier. "dear, dear, I'm so sor
ry. But tell him I won't keep him a
minute." St. James' Gazette.
Oil Wells at Sea.
The whale is by no mean? the-only
source of marine oil. Though little
known to fame, the humble menhr.dcn
yields oil and fertilizer worth $1,000,.
000 a year, giving employment to 1..SIJ0
fishermen and l.tiOO employees of fifty
factories. The people who are so
profitably engaged In slaughtering
700.0tin.noo of these fishes every year
natural;,- claim that they were created
providentially for the express purpose,
since they are not fit for food, and yet
the supply seems Inexhaustible. Xo
one knows whence they come or whith
er they go. All we know is that every
spring vast schools of them appear iu
the gulf of Mexico, heading north In
c-lixply packed masses, near the surface,
utterly incapable of either defense or
escape. All that is needed is simply
to scoop them up with big seines.

A Ccct.'y Autograph.
At a charitable sale in I'aris once
Baron Itothschild stopped at a stall
conducted by Gyp. and the fair lit
.terateur addressed him with the usual
request to buy something.
"What am I to buy?" said the baron.
"You have nothing at all suitable for
me. But I have an idea. I should like
to hare your autograph. Soli me that."
Taking a sheet of paper, t'ue lady
wrote upon it. "Received from Baron
Rothschild the sum of I.OOO francs
for the benefit of charity. Gyp."
Baron Rothschild read it, thanked
her and, handing her a note for the
amount named, went away delighted
with the lady's ingenuity.

"I thought." said old Groucherly,
"that I could save money by refusing
