COOL OR COMMON STORAGE.
Before the adven.t of modern cold
storage, Apples were extensively stor-
ed in houses, sheds, cellars or caves.
In suck places the temperature was
controlled more or lees perfectly by
ventilation. Such houses are still
largely used.
Experience and experiment have
shown that, ha handling apples for
any kind of storage, the following
points should be observed: The fruit
must be good. Cold storage will not
improve the quality of the fruit un-
der any circumstances. -Poor fruit
deteriorates more in storage than
good fruit does. •
The fruit sliould -be free from dis-
ease. Some kinds of fungous diseases
spread in the barrels after the fruit
is packed, even when in. storage. The
fruit shoved be well packed. It should
Pc ripe and well colored, but not ov-
erripe, when picked. Green fruit is
apt to scald and is subject to other
deteriorating influences. Prompt stor-
age is important. Every !hour's de-
lay between the' picking and storage
of the fruit is a direct injury. A tem-
perature of 31 to 32 degrees is found
best for apple storage. Paper wrap-
pers tend to make the fruit keep
longer and may be worth while on
fancy apples. Closed packages are
better than ventilated packages, at
least for fruit which is to remain
some time in storage.

is a machine which is capable of re-

2,000 a second, or thirty cu' forty
times as fast as the ordinary cinema-

to which this wonderful invention is

that the problem of flight may be at

being made by thrusting a bayonet or
