The relative durability of wood and iron has been given strange illustration by an old cannon which has stood since 1850 on the high grounds of Point Bonita, at tho entrance of San Francisco Bay. The gun has rusted away, while the wood supports are in a state of perfect preservation. Choice fruit, such as apples and pears, have been found to keep splendidly when wrapped Separately in tissue paper, and packed in single layers in shallow boxes.
