THE CANKER WORM.
Some of the Creatures Habits and How
Its Work Can Be Prevented.


Some of the Creatures Habits and How
Its Work Can Be Prevented.
The. first warm, pleasant day after
the frost is out of the surface of the
ground the grub of the pest of the APP
pie orchard will appear on the trunk of
the trees. 1t the trees have been sup
piled with patent protectors it is i'm
portant that they should be carefully
examined to see that the troughs are
tight, and that there are no open spaces
between the protectors and the trunks
of the trees large enough for the grubs
to pass through. The troughs should
be well cleaned out and filled with oil;
if this work be properly done at the
right season there will be but little
danger of the trees being injured by the
canker worms, providing the protectors
are occasionally examined to see that
the oil has not leaked out or been
ibridged over by the dead bodies of the
dead grubs,
Trees that have not been provided
with protectors should be at once pro-
vided with strips of tarred paper, at
least one foot wide. around each trunk;
this should be covered with somessticky
substance. Tree ink is usually used,
but sticky substance may be made Of
linseed oil and resin that will last
longer than tree ink. Whatever SUBJ
stance is used should be applied as
often as it becomes hard enough for the
grubs to pass over
tbar Ao e. I
the people, the canker worm could be
killed out in few years, but so long as
few will allow their trees to become
covered with worms, so long will the
more careful have every year to fight
the enemy. Until within few years
it has been supposed that the only rem.
edy was to prevent the grub from as
cending the tree to lay her eggs, but
recent experiments prove that, ever
after the worms are Matched, they car
easily be destroyed by Swinging the
trees with water that has Paris greer
mixed with it, at the rate of one tea
spoonful to each two gallons; the water
Is sprinkled on with small garden
syringe; the work can be done very
rapidly. The only objection to thi
is the danger of such free use of dead

there is any possibility of its falling OF

DEADLY FL .norRIc 11crr WV.
A Mec,.anio'. Slip and Fatal Clutch,


Joseph Bohlman, 25 yesrs of age, a
mechanic in the employ of John II. Nc.
Gowan & Co., was instantly killed at
5:9Op. m. yesterday, on roof of the |
Gibson house, by contact with large
electric light wire. This Is the first fatal
accident OF this kind in the city, though
many persons have been severely
shocked.
The victim had been sent by his EN-.
ployers ofthe pump works 10 take an
order from the engineer OF the Gibson
house for condenser for steam pipe
over tho laundry. 1t was found neces-
| sary for him to ascend to the laundry
roof, at the north side of the house, In
the rear, and thlther he went, accompa-
MED by the engineer, Mr.. Theodore
Fells. This roof, one of the highest of
the building, they reached through n
scuttle. 1t has considerable of q
pitch on both sides, to north and to
south. Their business led them
TO the northwest corner, and they had
to descend the slope of tho tin roofing.
II was wet In places from escaping and
condensing steam. Bohlman slipped
and was about 10 fall, when he instinct
ively, with one hand caught at u wire in
the way. This was the deadly wire of
tho electric light. He must have been
greatly shocked by the contact of ono
hand, for he Immediately clutched at
the wire with tho other, and death was
instantaneous.
Mr.. Fells saw and comprehended the
situation, and when the man fell TO tho
roof picked him up and found him al
ready dead. Mr.. Fells was aware of the
danger of tho wire, having had few
slight shocks himself In the last year or
! two. 1t Is believed that BOhlman was
also Intelligent on that subject. But, as
the drowning man catches at the straw,
so he clutched Mt that terrible wire TO
save himself from fall. There was no
time for him to think what the wire
might DO there for; IL was there, stout
wire, and no grasped 1t. or course,
, Feils had no time to think and warn.
do says that doubtless he would have
: made tho same fatal mistake himself
under like circumstances. Had the wire
not been there Bohlman would not
have fallen from the roof, as IL ran down
against another wall.
The body was soon taken down to q
lower and fat roof on tho south, where
: the writer saw IL, A sheet was thrown
over IL and tho coroner was sont for and
viewed IL. lie did not decide immedi-
ately when he should hold tho inquest,
as tho case will evidently assume great
Importance. These wires are stretched
over hundreds of buildings i'm this CITY,
and II they arc generally as dangerous
as this proved itself TO be, through mad
equate insulation, questions growing
out of tins fatality may become general
and broad.

these circumstances 1t is pretty well
apparent that the rp'ilroad influences
were not seriously exerted in op-

The position Of tho Southern

Pax RnfllirAiil

Pax RatiiioAta,
A drink that makes merry, but will
not intoxicate. The Latins and Greeks
were proverbial for their sobriety. In
toxicatlon with them was criminal. The
Mohamedans, since the days OF the
prophet, have excluded Intoxicating
drinks from their realm, yet IL is a
well.known fact that at their festive
boards hilarity and merrlment pre-
vailed, yet never to intoxication.
This was accomplished by certain
| fluids extracted from roots, fruits
and banks, that had never under
gone fermentation, which Is requisite to
render them Intoxicating. The anclents
held the pax ratificata was a drink fit
ted for the gods, and ii was their GUS
tom upon ratifying place to mutually
pledge each other in this drink, In a
manner similar TO the smoking the pipe
OF peace by the aborigines of America.
IL has most wonderful effect, that of
making you love your enemies, and of
blessing those who dospltoiully use and
abuse you. Mr.. Ed. S. Aston and
Messrs. G. E. Momand 81 Bro. will take
pleasure In supplying tho family trade,
