county from forest fires SO far this season will
aggregate in the neigbborhood of S25, 900, con-
sisting mainly of common wood cut and pre-
pared for market, in addition TO which an i'm

consumed in this blaze was contracted to the

turbance in the Republic of Geneva
near the end-of the seventeenth cent

Austrian Duke Leopold, to Paul, Grand

in his "Cure de Tours" assigns the
authorship, without any apparent evil

/. A Tough Watch Story.

On his last birthday, a month or two
ago. youngster in knickerbockers
who lives in the East End received
from his father silver watch, the
price of which, it is safe, to say, did
not exceed fifteen dollars. 1t will not
surprise you to hear that the boy took
the watch to pieces after it had burned
in his pocket but three days. When
every wheel lay in his hand the boy
naturally fell to thinking how he might
put the watch in running order again.
Hesmust be something OF a mechanical
genius, for he succeeded in getting the
works inside the case lip
some sort ofsshape. 1t is hardly a ret
Election on the boy'ssskill, either, that
after the mechanism was put together
it failed to respond TO the winding
stem. But the boy persevered. He
detected the root OF the trouble in the
balance-wheel. which seemed TO inter-
fere with other parts of the setting.
So at the balance-wheel he tinkered,
until, to his unfeigned establishment,
after he had lacked up the wheel with
a bandage Of cotton thread, the watch
began to tick again. Pittsburgh Dis

CHlNCH-BUG DISEASES.

The Destruction of the Pest by the Dis
tribution of Disease Germs.
Mr.. G. 2. Gillette treats this subject
in an interesting manner in Bulletin
No. of the Iowa Agricultural College
Experiment Station. After referring
tof@the comparatively recent date at
which it became known that chinch-
bugs were subject to disesise,- MIR.
Gillette refers briefly to Dr.Shimer's
observations on an epidemic in 1867
which carried off the bugs SO com
pletely that it was impossible to find
specimens for his collection the fol-
lowing year. Then came the observa-
tions Of Prof. Forbes on a similar
epidemic in Illinois in 1883. This was
truly contagious disease, and is con-
Quoted from bug to bug by microscopic
germs, as smallpox or yellow-fever is
conducted from man to man. These
are probably the only reports on
chineh-bug diseases before the present
season. y
In his observations in Iowa the
present season. Mr.. Gillette details the
manner in which the disease works,
and the deadly effect which it has upon
the bugs. His observation began Au-
gust 3, when the bugs were quite
abundant, and by the middle of October
almost no bugs were to be found. Ex-
periments were made to determine the
possibility Of making practical use
of the disease-germs by exposing APP
parently healthy bugs to them, and, as
was expected, the disease soon APP
peared and destroyed most of them.
mo one who knows the nature Of
the disease said Mr.. Gillette, twill
doubt the possibility of introducing it
into localities where it has not pre-
sviously occurred, but, as 1t has proba-
bly,. been in most places where the
bugs have long been present, it is ex-
tremely doubtful whether the promis-
cuous scattering of the germs would
be Of any use If the germs of the
disease are already present, 1t would
be of no use, and if the proper atmos-
pherics conditions are not present, the
germs will not grow. no matter how
numerous they are. If, however, the
bugs have continued free from the dis
ease in any locality in the State where
they have been numerous the past sea-.
son, and where the necessary atmos.
pheric conditions have been present,
these places may be greatly benefited
by the introduction of the disease
when the bugs are again numerous. "
