Stamping fruit.
--A German journal publishes the following:At Vienna, for some time past, fruit dealers have sold peaches, pears, apples, apricots, &c., ornamented with armorial bearings, designs, initials, and names. The impressions of these things are effected in a very simple manner. A fine fruit is selected at the moment it is beginning to ripen — that is, to take red color — and paper, in which the designs are neatly cut out, is affixed. After a while the envelopes are removed, and that part of the fruit which has been covered is brilliantly white.--By this invention the producers of it may realize large sums.
