According to the late phi- losophick Dr. Darwin, in order to ascertain when fruits, for instance, apples and pears, are sufficiently ripe forgathering, it is requisite to attend to the col- our of the skin enclosing the seeds. During their in- fant state, there is no cavity round the kernels, but they are in contact with the seed vessels. In a subse- quent period, when the fruit has exhausted the nutric- ious matter, ...the cells containing the seeds become hol- low, and the latter assume a dark colour. This, Dr. D. Observes, is the proper criterion by which to judge when such fruits should be gathered ; as it indicates that they will not continue to increase in size, but waste and become hollow, by absorbing the mucilagi- nous particles from the centre.
