FRESH FRUIT FROM QUEENSLAND.
About thirty cases of mangoes and pineapples from Queensland were landed in London early in April from the British India Company's s.s, Jumna. The fruit was sent as presents to several persons of note, and some of it was forwarded to Cimiez for the Queen. The fruit, whioh was landed in perfect condition, was preserved by means of a Liude refrigerating machine. The distinctive feature of this system is a continuous circulation of pure cold air, free from moisture, and as the voyage from Queensland is the most trying of all, it seems, says an English paper, to have effectually solved the problem of the importation of fruit through the tropics.
