Glenwood Springs I 'oh, Mareh IT
After experimenting for aevea years.
John F. Spencer, fruit row or at rami !
Junction, Colorado, has succeeded in I
perfecting a seedless apple. Spencer i
will not reveal the secret through I
which he arrived at the result attained, i
It is anticipated that the seedless apple
will displace all other varieties, as na
vel oranges have taken the orange
markets of the world. The seedless '
apple is regarded as the greatest dis
covery in the fruit and vegetable line
since the B rlvmk tvtatoe waadi-oov- !
ered.
The seedless apple looks like the na- i
Tel orange. There is a depression in
the navel end. similar to that in the .
seedless orange. Inside, the apple - i
entirely solid. Spencer is Ik- i ti g otfet -
ed fabulous sums of money for the e> -
elusive handling of his produce

A Troublesome Ant.
Id the state of Colombia thero la a
largo nut (Atta cephalotes) which
causes n groat deal of Injury to planta
tions. It attacks and carries off Indis
criminately all kinds of foliage, and no
sort of vegetation seems to come amiss
to It. The quantity of foliage carried
off by these ants Is Immense. A natu
ralist recently Investigated tbe uses to
whlcb tbe ants put tbls mass of vege
table matter, and he ascertained that
tbey employ It to make hotbeds upon
which their eggs are deposited to be
hatched by the heat produced by the
fermentation of the leaves. The ants do
not eat these portions for food, and the
In r vie are fed upon a carefully selected
diet Once tho brood Is hatched the
ants cloar away the hotbed, carrying
out of tbclr nest all the decomposed
vegetable matter. This is thrown out
In heaps apart, and In the large ant
hills these heaps will contain bushels
and upward.
Thfl Flrat Knvllah Slave Trader.
Sir John Hawkins was tho first Eng
llsii slavo trader. He formed a com
pany composed of the leading men of
London and lit ted out throo small ships,
which sailed In 1502. Later Queen
Elizabeth lent Ilawklus Jesus, r large
ship of her own. of 700 tons, and took
shares In tho Becond African company.
Sho not only equlp|>ed the ship, but put
100 soldiers on board to provide for
contingencies. On the socond voyage
Hawkins bought 400 negroes and had
a narrow escape from losing them ow
ing to tho lack of water when ho was
near the equator. Hut, as he piously
recorded In his log, "Tho Almighty Cod
would not suffer his elect to perish nnd
sent a breeze which carried them safe
to Dominica." This was tho beginning
of the slave trade, which lasted for
nn>re than two centuries before It was*
finally suppressed.
Tarlaua of Scotch I'lana.
Many Scotch clans have several tar
tans, such as a common tartan, a hunt
ing tartan and a full dress tartan. Ear
ly In the day a hlghlander of position
dons a kilt of plain tartan, and In the
evening for dinner he puts on his full
drees tartan, with sporran and richly
Jeweled dirk. Tor example, the Mac
pherson dress tartan Is black and
white, with a narrow red line, nnd the
hunting Macphereon Is a small blue
nnd black and red check. The Stuarts
have three tartans, and the design of
their hunting tartan la dark blue nml
green Is particularly fine. Each clan
has Its own badge. The Duff uien wear
holly, the Gordous an Ivy leaf, the
Stuarts an.oak leaf, nnd so on.
lireton and Wellfc.
Proof that the [>eoplo of Wales and
tbo people of Brlttuny, In France, come
from the same parent stock Is given ev
ery autumn when Breton boys go over
to England to sell onions from their
homo Holds. In Cornwall and Wales
their native speech Is readily under
stood. Artnorican, the old language of
Brittany, the ancient Cornish and
Welsh and for that matter Erse and
Onriic? are ail closely allied languages,
members of the Celtic group. Breton
and Welsh are very much alike.
