its habit, were not understood and it
proved very destructive. Iu some Sec
tons wheat growing was abandoned Tor
series of years to starvc the insect out.
As it will not attack rye, that grain
was subs titutcd for wheat while the
starving process was going on. Another
,eas on why it is less destructive now is
because 4 parasite has been found which
Secps it in check. When the fly was
irst brought from Germany by the Hes
sian soldiers during our revolutionary
var, it came unattended by the
parasite that in Europe had always
rcprcsscd its numbers. Deferring
wheat sowing until the time for frost is
one method OF preventing its in-
crease. When the fly docs not fad
wheat plants during August and early
September on which to deposit her eggs,
she is obliged TO place them on the
grass or other plants whcrc the insects
whca they hatch cannot get their prop

10 feet below the surface of the water
would be fifty pounds to the square
inch. It's effect upon the men entering
and working in the caisson has been
carefully noted in various works, and
these effects ore sometimes very serl-
Gus; the frequency OF respiration IS III
creased, the action OF tho heart be-
comes excited, and many persons be-
come affected by what is known as the
"caisson disease" which is accompanied
by extreme pain and in many cases re-
suits in more or less complete paraly-
sis. The execution OF work
within deep pnuematic caisson is
worth a moments consideration. Just
above the surface OF the water is a busy
force engaged in laying the solid blocks
of masonry which are to support the
structure. Great derricks lit the stones
and lay them in their proper position.
Powerful pumps are forcing air, regu-
larly and at uniform pressure, through
tubes to the chamber below. Occa-
sionally a stream of sand and water
issues with such ve,o, ity from the d s.
charge pipe that, in the night, the irc-
ton of the particle causes it to look
like stream of living fire. Far below
is another busy force. Under the great
pressure and abnormal supply OF oxy-
gen they work with an energy which
makes it impossible to remain there
more than few hours. The water
from without is only kept from enter
ing by the steady action of the pumps
far above and beyond their control. An
irregular settlement might overturn the
structure. Should the descent of the
caisson be arrested by any solid under

Progress in Modern Greece.

Since 1870 the advance in tho King
dom OF Greece has been very rapid.
The country now has more miles OF rail
way than it then had of common high
way; bridges have been built, harbors
have been improved, the canal across
the isthmus has been dug, preparations
are making to drain marshes. The
number OF acres OF ground devoted to
agriculture has largely increased. The
population of Athens has doubled.
Many Greek families which have long
resided out OF Greece arc now returning
to their country, bringing with them
both energy and capital. The people
arc better educated. Extensive archeo-
logical excavations have been con-
Quoted; tho museums have been en-
richcd. The land has been m ide far
more attractive AMI accessible to for
eiancrs. Bricandaro has been put
down. Tho kingdom is ruled by a
ministry moro prudent and more firmly
established than any which hive pre-
coded. The land is still suffering from
rrovcrty and from bad political habits,
but with the frugality and temperance
OF the people, it must gain wealth, dig
nifty, and authority.-lScriLncrs Maya

Farmer, thinks that tho character OF
pasture lands is nm important influence
in raising beef steers, and that the poor
New England pastures stand in the way
Of growing the best high grade stock
here. Our very poor hillside pastures
arc profitable for only forests. Good
pastures he considers the cornerstone
to the most successful typo Of farming.
To overcome the poverty of New Eng
land pastures, he recommends chemical
fertilization, yard manuring, feeding
stock at pastures, and Alternating be-
tween fields and pastures. Beyond this
he advises that rotation of crops include
having all arabic land in pasture from
onc to thr.o years in rotation. Even
then the summc feeding Of good steers
