Dr. Henry Watson, a well-known authority on music and himself a cultured musician, while lecturing recently at Manchester, England, on the violin, incidentally had a short piece played on two violins, one a Stradivarius, worth $3,000, and the other one of a lot worth half a crown apiece, used in a variety turn on the stage to break a comedian’s head, Then he asked the audience which instrument they regarded as the better of the-two. It was only by a very narrow margin that the au- dience, which was composed largely of regular attendants at the per- formances of Lady Halle (Mme. Nor-; man Neruda) and subscription con- certs, decided in favor of the genu- ine Strad. Thereupon Dr, Watson said:._“T doubt. whether_you would have chosen the right one if the piece had been pliyed in another room without giving, you an opportunity of seeing the instruments.” TO GIVE BRAIN TO SCIENCE.

Eight,submerged runs were made—four with and four against the | tide—for the purpose of obtaining a speed curve and standardizing the screws, lt was thought by the contractors that the speed submerged might fall slightly short of the maximum of seven knots, especially as the boat was prepared for surface and awash runs to-day, with the gas engine and the batteries used on the submerged runs only half charged, ‘But the nearest figures from an official source gave the maximum speed of the Adder ‘shown at 7.081 knots, or nearly one- ‘tenth of a knot more than the highest {speed required. Beginning at 6.02 knots on the first run, the boat was speeded up to ite maximum, The offi- iat be reported until » known, report the boat was perfeetly man » and those on shore say its course was true, During the trials the boat was hermetically sealed for two hours, Capt.

In his annual address at the con- vention of the National grangers at Lansing, Mich., the other day, Grand Master Jones congratulated the or- der on the wonderful degrees of prosperity it has enjoyed during the past year.

I shall certainly keep my promise made to Prof. Wilder. of Cornell. A short time ago I met this gentleman, who is the professor of piy-iology, and we got to talking on the -:hject of the brain. He informed ‘me he had made a specialty of brains and was collecting them for his mu- seum. in a joking way I told him he could have mine when I was finished with it. The whole thing was done in a joking way, but now that the matter has been taken seriously I ywill cer- tainly make arrengements that my promise shall be carried out. I am now in my 80th year, and the legacy may fall soon.” GET CALIFORNIA FRUIT. ‘‘armers in England Are Unable te Compete with the Fruit Raisers in America. The ingenuity and determination with which California is pushing its fruit in the English market is com- manding much attention. The shops at London are full of excellent fresh figs, plums and grapes at low prices, and during October California success fully flooded this market with thou- wands of tons of choice black plume, while the farmers of Kent left their plums to rot on the trees and ground, alleging that it was not worth while to pluck them. The success of the Californias is attributed to their the opinion that the cost of produe- tion can be reduced from 10 to 25 per cent. and the aggregate produc- tion of the farms of the United States increased from 50 to 100 per cent. by the adoption of the best methods. The causes of present un- satisfactory conditions were said to be many and Master Jones erumer- ated excessive charges and discrimi- hation in transportation, exorbitant storage charges, large commission shortages, unequal taxation, local and national dealing in options on boards of trade, trusts, adultera- tions of food products and official oppressive severity. Many of these causes were said to be fostered and protected by legislative enactment. Still a Little Panieky.
