Miss Nolfie Green a SCI DOL
teacher is the heroine Of a stirring
episode in Perry county Tennessee,
While the scholars were busy with
their lessons the other day mad
dog entered the little log schsol
house at Cypress Greek and dashed
toward one Of the children. Miss
Green sprang between them and
the intruder. She kicked ut the
beast, her skirts protecting her,
and by the aid of heavy ruler
kept it at bay until all the children
had fed. The infuriated animal
sprang at her throat repeatedly,
bNt she was agile and resolutely
held her ground. When all the
little ones were gone, she des-
perately fought of the dog until
she reached the door, which she
pulled to after her, and fell faint~
ing outside The children in the
meantime ran to the nearest house,
an eighth of a mile distant and
gave the alarm. Two men came
and killed the dog, which had been
terrorizing the neighborhood tor
two days. The grateful parents
took up a subscription and gave

4 USEFUL cONTRiYARcE
A VaiVa6is improvement attached to Fire
Engines For Quick ssRsathS.

NOtufDg Is So Important III nguI-
ing fire as opening the fight. before
the flames get under Roadway no
time is so important to the fremer
as the first few minutes. If they
can get to the FIRE at its inception,
frequently it can be extinguished
without requiring the use of an
engine. If, however, water is de.
manded the engine that can furnish
stream most promptly is the most
valuable.
Ordinarily it requires from eight
to thirteen minutes to get steam in
fire engine starting out with cold
waJer in a cold boiler. Now, al
lowing five or seven minutes to
reach fire after the alarm sounds,
in cases where it is remote from the
engine house, the next five minutes
are Of estimable value. Anything,
therefore. that saves those five min
utes and makes an engine ready
for imr cdiate work when it reach>
es the burning building is an ex-
ceeaipcly valuable continuance.
Chief Ja4os tells US Of an attach
ncnt that has been added to ems
CINE No Of the Augusta departs
ment. Its not only very simple
but very valuable, and whether or
not It will he added to the Macon
department remains to he seen.
But the chief says N;th our plug
pressure we are able to gain much
tine on a fire before it has gained
any considerable Roadway, and
when the fire is on the hill, the en-
gines are ready for work.
As Macon is greatly interested
in her excellent department we
publish a description Of the Angus
ia department:
Attached to the mud plug at the
bottom, and in front OF the boiler
IS mali tank holding a gallon or
50 Of " ter viii h runs into it from
the boiler. 10 tie other end off
the tank, which is some six or
eight inChes long. is attached the
surface blower pipe thus affecting
a complete circrit.
On the floor Of the house immed-
lately under this little copper tank
is n small kerosene III stove, which
burns a gallon eff oil a day, This
stove heats the water in the little
copper tank above it. As the wa, I
ter becomes sufficiently bot it is
forced up the surface blower pipe
and emptied iato the boiler
through the mud plug. Thus the /
hot water is kept constantly circu,
lating until after awhile all the
water in the boileris hot, and the
big boiler itseIfis quite warm to
the touch.
OF course the cooling surface is
so much greater than the heating
surface that the water would never
boil, and steam IS not generated in
the engine. But the water and
mir boiier,and the boiler itself is
kept constantly warm, 50 chat just
as soon as the fire is started under it
the steam begins to generate. In
this way by the time the engine has
gone few squares from the en-
CINE house it has "a sufficient head
of steam to go to work, and in>
stead of ten or twelve minutes
being required, only about five are
needed by No. to be ready to
play a good stream; in other words,
by the time it can reach the fire
and attach the hose it is ready for
active and effective work.

ure it will be noticed that there is a row
of tubercles or prominences around the
edge of the hind part of the body, while
just inside of these Is second row of smaller
prominences, forming low ridge which is
broken at the hind end of the body. A
short distance inside of this break is deep

ated the secretory pore out of which the
honey dew is expelled. This is given
forth in form of a limited globule which
falls upon any object that may happen to
be beneath the insect, sometimes adhering
to neighboring objects and hardening,
somewhat resembling white rock-candy,
both in appearance and taste.
If these insects were constructed for any
one particular purpose more than another,
1T is for the purpose of destroying the trees
or plants they infest and the possession of
this seeretory pore aids them not little
in their work of destruction, since they

surplus in the form of honey dew. This
latter forms indus or receptacle for the
spores Of the common black fungus or
smut and trees badly infested with these
insects become more covered with this
fungus than when infected by any other
kind of insect. In relation to this black
smut it may be interesting to note that on
page sixty-eight of the fourth volume of a
narrative Of an exploring expedition,
Captain Charles Wilkes states that some
of the orange trees in the Sandwich Is
lands ''were covered with black smut
produced by species of aphis." This
work was published in the year 1S45, and
the above is the earliest reference to this
fungus on orange trees that have seen.

DESTRUCTIVE PEST.
THE COITONY CUSHION SCALE
INVESTING OUR CITY.
Information and Illustrations of the
Insect Enemy Threatening Trees
and Foliage of Sacramento.

In recent article by the weIl-known
entomologist, D. w. Coquillet, now resid-
ing at Los Angeles, concerning the cottony
cushion or white scale, he said:
No greater enemy to the successful grow
ing of citrus fruits exists in this State than
the subject of this article; while it does
not at once kill the infested trees, it soon
reduces their vitality to such a degree
as to render them unproductive. The
health and vigor of these scale pests keep
apace with the health and vigor of the
trees they infest; the more vigorous
the tree, the more vigorous will be the
scale insects that infest it, and in proper
ton as the tree loses its health and vigor,
in the same proportion will the scale in
sects infesting it become less healthy and
~ vigorous. / have seen orange
trees that two years ago, when
first infested with these in
lsects bore an abundant crop of
large fine oranges, while at
1.-THE present writing the small,
\ Fstunted fruit they bear in stray
i Cling clusters is hardly worthy
of being called by the name
of oranges; and the insects in

rug l. in size and less vigorous in
their actions than were those of two years
ago.
The natural history of this pest may be
briefly stated as follows: The eggs are of a
door, oranoa ,-ellow co1aT and elOnpated oval
in form, as outlined in Fig. l, measuring
little over one-thirtieth of an inch in
length. They are deposited in a mass of
cottony matter, secreted by the female, as
shown in Fig. 2, where the dark objects
represent the females and the white,
ribbed mass attached to each is the cottony
