TEXAS O-VLT BIG APPLE MARKET

Southern California Shlpiiers Demand
Homo Consumption
Apple and fruit dealers of Cali
fornia are demanding tbat the many
thousands of boxes of apples held in
storage In the big cities of California
, be consumed by users In preference
to Northwestern apples, according to
information received by Mr. Stackland
the veteran Cove orchardlst. There is
a, great quantity of storage apples la
the South, Mr. Stackland is informed,
and the dealers there demand that
users consume this batch first. If
this rule is adherrod to, a market
that right now looms up for local
shippers and growers, will be cur
tailed. European Market Good.
Sir Stackland is right now getting
some more shipments off to European I
countries where the smaller apple Isj
the best seller. The Texas market
calls for the big sort, four-tier at the
least, and b y rushing the big sort
there and the good but small fruit to
Europe, be has found that there Is
not all darkness In view for the grow
ers. The European market Is rlglvt at
Its height now he says.

Many people who really want electric lights,

electric lighting within the past few years, still
hold. to this belief.
If you are one of these, you will be agreeably
surprised to learn that electric lights are now
within the means of every family in La Grande.
We arc prepared to demonstrate to the most
skeptical, that they are the most economical

County Free of Snuill Pox.
(Pendleton East Oregonlan.)
There Is little for local people
to
fear In the way of small pox epidemic
If present Indications may be relied
upon. There are no small pox cases
whatever In the county save the two
reported here, according to Dr. D. J.
McFaul. county health officer, to
whom all such cases must be reported
by the physician In change. How
ever the doctor says It Is possible
there may be cases that have not yet
been reported to him. ,
The two cases here are those of Cir
cuit Judge G. W. Phelps and of
prisoner in the county jail. Judge
Phelps has been seriously 111 but is
now recovering. - In the case of the
prisoner his affliction Is so mild there
Is even doubt as to whether he has
the disease or not However, he is
being treated as a small ppx patient
so as to avoid any danger of spread
ing the epidemic.

THE- PASTOR SPRINTED.
H Made a Good Run In Record Tlma I
With Planty ot Reason.
One ot the trndltloual stories of the
town of Fairfield. Conn., recounts a
wild dusb trotn the pulpit made by
a worthy and beloved pastor of the
Episcopal flock. Dr. Labaree.
It was on a Sunday more than a hun
dred years ago. The service bad been
reud. the pro.vers said, the hymn suiig.
and the parson Is-gan tils sermon. As
be proceeded Uis gestures lieeauie very
energetic. He brought Ida right hand
down with great for-e. Then he turned
pale, cleared the pulpit stujrs at a
bound, dashed out of the church door
and ran, toward the a short dis
tance away
The congregation followed In bewil
dered pursuit and sun- their venerable
pastor with flying rohe rush Into the
water until it came to Ills neclc. Then,
turning round, he raced his astonished
audience and said:
"Dearly helmed brethren. I am not
crazy, ns no doubt ninny or yon think,
but yesterday at the drSi? store 1 bought
a bottle of nitric acid and carelessly
left It In my rss'ket today.
"My Inst gesture broke the bottle. 1
knew the sufTerinu the acid would cause
when It ieiict rated my clothing and
rushed for the water to save myself
pain."
Ue drew several pieces of glass from
bis pocket lu witness of the tale. Then
be dismissed the company and hurried
borne.
FROZEN WITH HEAT.
A Remarkable Proccaa Known aa the
Calorio Paradox.
Freezing Is usually associated with
cold, but water can lie frozen on a red
hot plate. This pretty experiment has
rightly been called the cnlorh: paradox.
If a drop of water Is placed on a red
hot or white hot metal plate It does
not suddenly flash Into steam under
the Influence of 'the greut bent It does
not even boll. It simply evaporates
quietly and slowly as It rolls about the
plate. Now, suppose tbat the drop on
the plate Is a volatile liquid like snl-.
phnrnus ncld. It will evaporate, and
tills evaporation will produce cold. Let
a drop of wnter fall in the sulphurous
acid drop and it will be frozen lu spite
of the bent.
M. Boutigny thus froze water on
white hot platinum -capsule. Karadoy
cnrrled this remarkable experiment
even further. Pouring some ether and
so I lit I (led carbonic ncld gas on a red
hot platinum capsule, he formed a
spheroidal mass which evaporated very
slowly. He then brought some mer
cury Into conflict with It, Hiid this wus
Instantly frozen. Now. mercury re-

No "Deadhead- Trip.
One of the most famous of American
shipping lines In the pnltny days nf our
murine wus the (,'ope line, which ran
between Philadelphia and Liverpool,
says the author of "Memoirs of Charles
H. Crump" By this line John Kttn
dolph of Itounoke determined to go to
Russia when he had been appointed
minister to that country by President
Jnckson. Entering the office of the
company In Philadelphia, he said to a
clerk In his usual grandiloquent man
ner:
"Sir. I wish to see Thonins P. Cope."
He was shown' to Mr. Cope's office.
"I Dill John Ituudolph of Roanoke.'
he said. "1 wish to tnko passage to
MverKiol in one of your ships."
If he expected to lie tendered a ouss
he was grievously disappointed.
"I am Thomas Cope." replied the
head of the line. "If thee goes aboard
the ship uud selects thy stateroom aud
will pay Jl.Ki thee may go."
An Ants' Sewing Circle.
A party of tierman naturalists re
cently returned from Ceylon have re
ported the existence of a species of ant
that bus been observed in the act of
sewing two leaves together for the pur
pose of forming a uest. This report
confirms the observations of the Eng
lish naturalist liidley. made In 1Ski
They saw a row of the lnects pulllnc
the edges of leaves together, then otli
ers trimming and tilting the edges, and
finally the completion of the work ny

that the sewing nuts pass the thread
