Throwing Away Fruit. So much fruit has been raised In California this season that the local markets have been glutted, and in San Francisco tons of melons, pears and plums have been thrown into the sea. The latter way of disposing of the fruit was one of wdlful waste, for it might have been given to the poor of the eity —people too poor even to buy the stuff, cheap as it was. But this course would not have been business, and probably would have prevented sales on succeeding days. One day recently canteloupes were selling in San Francisco for 10 cents a crate, and watermelons could not be sold even at two to five cents each. That same afternoon 500 crates of cantaloupes, 200 crates of watermelons and a great amount of plums and nea>- were dumped into the bay.

Hidden City in the Arctic Seas. The story of the hidden city revealed to the world by a mirage seen over the Muir glacier in Alaska has once more been started, says the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. Several alleged observers have seen this alleged mirage, the most favored of them being an alleged John M. White, of Philadelphia, who on June 21, “some yeans ago,” was able to study it for nine hours, from 11:30 a. m. to 9:30 p. in., through a powerful glass. Mr. White is quite certain he didn’t dream this mirage because he has since seen photographs of it, taken by other people. The photographs do not look in the least like the mirage Mr. White saw, but that is Immaterial to his argument, which is that the mirage couldn’t very well have been photographed unless the mirage were visible; that If the mirage_were visible there is no reason why he, Mr. White, should not have seen it if he were at the Muir glacier at the proper time of year; that having, indisputably, been at the Muir glacier at the proper Hme of year he Is decidedly inclined to believe that he is not mistaken in his recollection that he saw the mirage. Mr. White’s theory is that there is a flourishing open metropolis situated somewhere near the north pole on the shores of the open polar sea, and that when the sun “is at its highest northern point, as It Is June 21, the mirage of the arctic capital is reflected to the point where It njmeam over the Muir glmeien"
