Apple Discovered
To Be Petrified
Sntherlin, April 21. W. E. St. John,
a well known local real estate broker
and president of the Oregon Growers'
Cooperative association, waa exhibiting
a -preserved" apple which Is certainly

lasting qualities.
Ten years -ago St. John had sev
eral ornamental glass jars of three gal
lons capacity filled with varieties of
fruits frown in Butherlin : valley, and
placed in the windows of hi Office build
ing for display.
Some weeks ago it was noticed that
th- liquid in the jar containing Spitsen
berg apples was evaporating and that
one apple at the tdp of the jar was en
tirely free from contact with, the liquid
and had turned black.
In order to remove its unsightly ap
pearance the jar was unsealed and "the
apple taken out, and as it appeared un
usually heavy for an ordinary sized
apple, the black skinned substance of
the exterior was removed in order to
examine it more closely. Removal of
the skin disclosed the whole interior to
be stone a petrified apple even to a
portiorf of the stem.
