THE SEEDLESS ORANGE
A FORTUNATE SERIES OF ACCIDENTS
CAVE IT TO CALIFORNIA.
An liHlMftrv Revolutionized Within
Twenty-live Year* ly Shoots Brought
f roii. ltrazll—Cities Unlit and Mill
tons oT Wealth Created.
Twenty-five years ago there were no
seedless or navel oranges grown. A
few oranges were raised in Florida,
but, the bulk of the supply in America
came from the Mediterranean ports
aud the fruit was expensive. The to
tal annual yield of California oranges
was less than live carloads. Now the
anunal orange yield in California is
upward of 15,000 carloads, and next
year it may exceed 20,000 carloads,
writes a corespondent of the New York
Sun from Pomona. Tha total amount
invested in orange properties in Cali
fornia twenty-five years ago was
about $23,000. Now something like
$13,000,000 is invested in the orange
industry in this State, aud the amount
is increasing by about $2,000,000
every year. The introduction of the
seedless navel orange has caused
these changes. It has revolutionized
the orange industry of the United
States. It has drawn 13,000 men out
of other pursuits. It has transformed
vast areas of sunbaked land iu Cali
fornia into the most beautiful orange
groves that over grew. It has boon
tho prime factor in the growth from
nothing of a dozen towns o! 5000,
8000 and 10,000 peoplo iu southern
California, and it has added directly
more than $43,000,000 and indirectly
$30,000,000 more to the taxable wealth
of this State.
The first seedless orange trees were
apparently freaks of nature. Their
counterparts have novel' been found.
In the summer of 1872 William P.
.Ttidsou, United States Consul at
Bahia, Brazil, hoard an account from
natives of a few trees in the swamps
ou the north bank of the Amazon
some sixty miles inland that bore
oranges without seeds. Ho was of
scientific bent and a Consul that knew
his business. He had heard of the
startiug of orange groves in Florida
nud he believed that seedless orange
trees wore well worth experimenting
with there. So he sent a native up
the river to cut some shoots of the
trees and get some of the fruit. When
the native returned the Consul was
delighted with the specimens. Forth
with he sent six of the orange tree
shoots, carefully packed in wet moss
and clay, to tho Agricultural Depart
ment at Washington for propagation.
Tho trees did not exoite as much at
tention in the Department us the
enthusiastic Consul had expected.
Two of the shcots, which were no
bigger than horsewhips, died from
lack of caro in the Department,
grounds, and the others were almost
forgotten in n few mouths. In the
winter of 1873 Mrs. Horatio Tibbetts,
a native of Maine, was visiting the
family of her cousin, General Ben
jamin F. Butler, then a Congressman
from Massachusetts. Her husband
bad recently removed from Boston to
Los Augelos, Cal., and was about to
pre-empt a tract of Government land
in the San Bernardino Valley. The
scbemo was an uncertain oue, but
anyhow he intended to grow somi
tropioal fruits there. Ho asked Mrs.
Tibbetts to get from General Butler
an introduction at tho Agricultural
Department. She was then to ask for
speoimeus of fruits and shrubs suit
able for experimental propagation in
southern California. Among other
things Mrs. Tibbetts got from the De
partment grounds the four surviving
orange tree shoots from Brazil. The
trees reached Mr. Tibbetts safely at
Riverside, Cal., a week later and were
immediately planted. That was in
December, 1873. Olio of the shoots
died from uoglect and another wns
broken and chewed up by a cow.
Five years passed and the two sur
viving trees came into bearing. In
the winter of 1878-79 they bore six
teen oranges, the first seedless oranges
ever grown in North Amerioa. The
specimens were carried about south
ern California and shown to all ranch
men and fruit growers. There wero
many who doubted whether the trees
would annually bear such royal speci
mens of orange culture. Nearly every
one bolieved that tho fruit would be
come coarse and tough in a few years
more. So the second crop was awaited
with curiosity among the neighbors.
There were about a box of oranges in
the second yield, and they were even
better than those of the first crop.
Tho fame of the Tibbetts seedless
oranges went far and wide in south
ern California. People who were grow
ing tho old-faßhioued ornnges traveled
hundreds of miles in wagons to see
tho trees. Still there were less than
half a dozen people who believed that
such a freak us a seedless fruit could
ever be propagated into an estab
lished industry.
"I remember the time I saw some
of the second crop of Tibbetts's seed
less naval oranges," said ex-Senator
.T. E. McComas. "Several of us seed
ling orange growers went over to
Riverside purposely to see what truth
there wasiu tho statement that Horatio
Tibbetts had trees that grew oranges
without seeds. Wo looked the two
trees over and over, sampled the fruit
and wondered how it coijld be.
Larger, juicier and more pungent
fruit we had never known. But it all
seemed so freaky that no oue dnrod
risk sovoral thousand dollars and six
or seven years in trying to grow naval
oranges for market. Moreover, none
of us knew how to go about having a
grove of seedless oranges because
there wns no seed to stud it."
Mr. Tibbetts was sure that there
was a fortune in his now variety of
oranges. For two years he experi
mented with propagating trees from
shoots and cuttings from his two seod.
less orange trees. But all his at
tempts were failures. Finally hs hit
upon the scheme of budding from th
seedless naval trees upon seedling
trees. Experiments along that hup
were successful. It was found that a
bud taken from one of Tibbetts's two
naval orange trees and grafted into
the bark of a seedling tree would
grow to be a limb, which bore seed
less naval oranges. Then Mr. Tib
betts grew tiny seedling orange trees,
just as had been done by orange
growers for ages, and budded into
the trunk of each little tree several
naval orange buds. When the buds
had become branches of the trees, he
cut away all the original or seedling
branches,leaving only the naval orange
branches to bear fruit. In this way
he easily created naval orange trees,
and the problem of growing seedless
orauges was solved.
The planting of groves of seedless
orange trees propagated from buds
from the two original trees on the
Tibbets place began in earnest
throughout southern California iu
the winter of 1832. Iu the following
year the demand for buds from the
Tibbetts trees was so large that a
dozen buds .sold frequently Jo* $5,
and some growers, desirous of getting
navel orange buds of genuine quality,,
paid $1 each for buds. In 1884 the
two Tibbetts trees furnished buds
that sold for SISOO, and a tall fonce
was built about them to keep peoplo
from stealing buds. A year or two
later the orange trees that had beeu
propagated from the Tibbetts trees be
gan to bear, and they themselves
furnished tens of thousands of navel
buds as good as those from the orig
inal trees. Then the first navel or
ange groves began to bear fruit, and
from that time the boom in navel
orange groves has continued. No oue
plants seedliug orange trees nowa
days, aud tons of thousands of seed
ling trees have beeu budded into na
vel orange trees.
Tho two trees from which have
come, directly and indirectly, all the
navel orauges iu the world, are still
on the old Tibbetts ranch in River
side. Since Mr. Tibbetts received
tho shoots from the Agricultural De
partment and begau propagating seed
less oranges, Riverside has grown
from a hamlet of less than thirty
American residonts to a beautiful,
prosperous city of 11,000 population,
with an assessed valuation of $8,275,-
000. It is the greatest orang-pro
dueing locality in tho world. Some
10,000 aoros of land is devoted to
orange growing. Tho nverage annual
shipments of oranges from Riversido
are 1,000,000 boxes, valued at $2,100,-
000. All this has come from the in
troduction of Tibbetts's seedless na
vel orauges, and just now the River
side Press and the leading citizens
are urging that tho two trees should
be removed to the public park and
thero surrounded by an irou fenoe, so
that the interesting history of the
seedless navel orange may be the bet
ter preserved iu another goueration.
Looking After It* Soldier*.
A young army officer, who has seen
service on the Arizona plains and on
the Muino coast, and who is now iu
Cuba, tells two stories out of his own
expericuoc, to show the accuracy with
which the War Department follows tho
movements of officers.
"I was with a small scouting party
in Arizona," he says, "and after two
weeks iu tho desert my squad came to
the railroad near a small station.
Within teu minutes a dispatch from
Washington was brought to me by
the station agent. It asked if I wished
to be transferred to ono of the two
new artillery regiments then forming.
"I answered by telegraph that I
should bo glad to enter either of
them. Then we set oil aguiu across
tho desert.
"It was six days later when we
again struck tho railroad, this time
eighty milos from the point at which
wo had previously orossod it. But
my reply from the department was
awaiting me. It had been telegraphed
to every station within two hundred
miies.
"A more striking instanco of accur
acy occurred after my transfer to the
East. I was traveling home on leave,
aud as the regulations require, I had
notified the department of the day,
hour and probablo route of my jour
ney. After I hnd beon ou the train
for eight hours, at a smail station tho
portor entered with u telegram, ask
ing if any oue of my name was pres
ent. On opening the dispatch, I
found that it was from the adjutant
general's office, ordering mo ou de
tached duty,
"Exactness of detail could not bo
carried much farther. The depart
ment knew tho whereabouts of an iu
significant second lieutenant, oven
when he is traveling ou leave of ab
sence."
l*'hii>pltie: nt an lu*cct' Wing*.
Tho slow flapping of a butterfly's
wiugs, according to Sir John Lub
bock, produces no sound, but when
the movements are rapid a noiso is
produced, which iucreasos in shrill
ness with tho number of vibrations.
Thus tho house fly, which produces
the sound F, vibrates it wings 21,120
times a minute, and tho bee, which
makes a sound of A, as many as 26,-
400 times. Professor Narey, tho nat
uralist, has succeeded by a delicate
mechanism iu confirming these num
bers graphically. He flxed a fly so
that the tip of the wing just touched
a cylinder which was moved by clock
work.
Cut Until Ways.
In an interval in tho drilling one of
the volunteers belonging to a crack
regiment stepped out from the ranks
to light a cigar from tkatof hisofficor.
The latter took this evidence of tho
democratic spirit of freedom iu good
part, but said byway of a hint: "In
the regular army you couldn't have
done this to an officer, Brown."
"Right you are," responded the
private, "but in tho regular army you
could not be an officer."
RUSSELL SACEiAND THE NEWSBOI*.
JLart Who Tried to Fool the Financier
Brought Bp With a Sharp Tarn.
Rnssell Sage, the groat New York
financier, was trudging homeward
through Forty-aeoond street at 7.45
o'clock p. m., when he was surrounded
by four or five newsboys, each eager
to sell him a paper. The boys knew
hiai well apparently, for three or four
times he was addressed as "jVXr. Sage"
and "Russell Sage" by the twisting,
bustling and noisy littlo fellows. Mr.
Sage asked for a certain edition of 3
certain paper, and the smallest boy
in the hunch thrust upon him what
Was thought at the time to be the de
sired paper. Mr. Sage paid him and
slowly walked on toward his home.
He reached the corner of Madison
avenue, glanced at his purchase,
looked about, hesitated an instant
aud thon grimly and slowly walked
back to where the "newsies" were
taking. Peering about till he identi
fied the lad he had patronized, he
said:
"Here, boy! This isn't the paper
I asked for."
Crestfallen, the lad took back the
paper, aud Mr. Sage held out his
baud, saying: "Come, sir! I want my
money back."
The grimmy littlo baud went down
into the trousers pocket aud brought
back a cent, which finally found lodg
ment in Mr. Sage's palm. Mr. Sage
somewhat wearily hunted up another
urchin with the right edition of the
right paper, and then retraced his
steps homeward.
"What did yon try to cheat Mr.
Sago for?" asked the reporter.
"Well," said "Skinny" Martin, the
newsboy, hesitatingly, as if half
ashamed of his wrong, "y' see; biz
ness wnz on de bum wid me ter-dny,
'n' den, besides, Russell Sage, w'eu
he buys a pape off'n mo, he alius does
dis—he alius presses de penny down
tight in de middle of me ban', an' I
t'iuks I'se got five or ten eonts, till I
looks at it, all' den I see dat I'se only
got a cent. T'ain't cheatin' 't 'do' a

his way homo to supper, an' th' hull
five of us chased him atoug th' block
an' says: 'Hey, there, Mister Sage,
want de extree-extror? Paper dere,
boss?' So he says: 'Rov, give me a
sporting special extra.' I seen he
didn't have no specs on, so I hands
him a 4 o'clock edition. He takes it
an' walks away, an' me an' th' rest o
th' gang give him th' laugh for bein'
so easy.
"I kep' watching th' old man till
he'd gone more'n a block an' den I
t'ought I wnz safe. It must 'a' been

" 'Boy,' he says, 'this is not a

" 'Ah,' I says, 'thein ain't out yet.
You got th' extree-extror all right.'
" 'Boy,' he says, 'give me back iny

"I e'd feel his fingers squoezin'

Tho author of "A Ramble Ronno
the Globe" tells of some surprising
experiences encountered in the region
of geysers and hot springs in Now
Zealand. One day he patronized the
photographer in Whakarewarewa.
Being inteiested in photography, he
went into tho dark room to soe the
negative developod, aud there experi
enced a'new sensation.
Just as the photographer wns begin
ning operations, the wooden floor,
which was about a foot from the
ground, seemed to get unsteady, aud
there was an ominous bump, bump,
bump, directly underneath, that was
the reverse of reassuring. The pho
tographer explained matters.
"That's only a small geyser begin
ning to work," said he. "I have three
below hero that work at regular inter
vals—tho one just starting, another
0110 thore"—pointing to a corner—
"and the other one just underneath
whore you are standing."
Geysers! Starting! I could see
them bettor outside, so outside I went.
I don't quite remember now whether
I opened the door, or whether it opened
of its own accord, or whether it foil
down; but I know that in my anxiety
to see the marvelous sight, I didn't
take long in getting out of that dark
room.
The photographer went on with his
work coolly, and let the baby geyser
bubble and gurgle under bis floor in
its own sweet way, while I, watching
it from a position of advautago, ex
pected every minute to see the "dark
apartment" lifted high into the air on
the summit of a boiling column.
But no; tho building stood firm, tho
photogrnphor doveloyedthe plate, aud
the infantile geyser gurgled aud fizzed
itself out.
