TELEGRApHING WITHOUT Y, IREs.-
Prof. LOOMS, of Washington, who
has devoted his life to demonstrating
the practicability of his theory of eri-
al telegraphing, seems to be on the
eve of success. His system is based
GIN a current of electricity which he
has demonstrated exists at different
heights, and which transmits commu-
nication between two perpendicular
wires reaching into it, whatever the
distance may be. He has already
sent messages in this way for dis
lance of eleven miles, using the Morse
battery in connection with his own in
vention. 1t seems assured that aerial
telegraphing by means of rods on nat.
ural or artificial eminences can be
successfully practiced at all times,
though its great value will be in long
distance telegraphing, as from one
side of the ocean to the other. Prof.
Loomis is now making arrangements
for series of experiments between
peaks Of the Alps and the Rocky
If he succeeds, of course
telegraphing between the Old World
and the New will be cheapened
thousand fold, and Prof Loomis is
convinced that Lefore
many years submarine cables will be
ying abandoned aud useless in their
lcean beds.

Cotton Worm Destroyer.

The Victoria Advocate pub

successfully used by Mr.. Sells
in destroying the cotton worm:
@The poison used was arsenic
which cost 12a cents per pound,
the apparatus was a fountain
pump. In preparing the liquid
he took five pounds of arsenic
aud one pound of starch and
put them into a large sized tin
can which had been nsed for
coal oil, filling the same with
water. This he placed inside OF
a kettle also filled with water.
on a FIRE. The material in the
inside vessel he kept stirring till
thoroughly dissolved, which took
about an hour. After being dis
solved he took of it about FIVE
pints and put it into forty gal
Ions of water in a barrel-the
quantity he used for sprinkling
one acre. The barrel was plac-
ed on a wagon, and with the
fountain pump and the aid of
two boys he could-.as he pro-

either side a distance of twenty
feet. In this way be could cas-
