Cottony Cushion Scale.

At late meeting of the Santa Barbara
Horticultural Society, the subject Of the
cottony cushion or fluted scale was gener-
ally discussed and some very interesting
points presented. The Committee on In
sect Pests noted in their report that in sew
eral sections they noticed that the fiuted
scale was dying from some cause that it
was also noticed TO be disappearing il sew
e-al localities about Los Angeles and Pasa-
deDa, while in orchards in other localities
1t was increasing TO an alarming extent.
Professor Riley, Government Entomolo-
sist, in an article on the fluted SCALE names
the following varieties of trees, which he
finds seriously affected with this pest: the
acacia. lemon, orange, lime, ounce, POM
egranate and walnut. The Professor
says in describing the insect, that
when first hatehed they are ex-
tremely small and their specific gravity
such that in dropping from the twigs and
branches, they are easily carried by the
wind from tree 10 tree and orchard to
orchard. They are also distributed by run
ming water, birds, etc. This particular
species also has the habit of crawling over
the ground. The Professor claims that
there are gree; number of parasites, which
are the natural enemy and prey upon the
huted scale, and that fruit growers should
take advantage of one of natures methods
TO rid their orchards of this pest Active
and vigorous measures should be adopted
and some concert of action had among
frUit-growecS in the various districts
throughout the State for the purpose of
dealing with insect pests, preventing their
spread and stopping their ravages if posi-

Examine Your Trees.

When making personal examination
Of your fruit trees and orchards, look care
fully at the ends of the shoots over the top
of the tree for the purpose of asceriaining
its condition. If you find seasons new
growth is less than six inches on a bearing
tree or less than twelve inches on Young
tree not in bearing you may at once arrive
at the conclusion that the tree or trees need
more and better cultivation. If tall grass
or rank plants or weeds have been allowed
to grow within the sweep of its branches or
even two or three feet beyond. the entire
suppression of these will in most cases
prove sufficient. If no such growth inter-
feres, your soil needs manure. You NAV
find that there is some injury to the collar
or stem which impedes circulation If
so, the above measures will be of no avail.
Under ordinary circumstances such a tree
is doomed unless there is some strong
sprout direct from the roots which can be
formed into new stem for a new tree. 1t
must be said in this connection that over
vigorous growth, or growth continued so
late as not to fully ripen before the frost
comes, if your section is subject TO frost, is
danger and should be guarded against.
Cultivation should begin with growth and
be discontinued in August or early in Sep
TENDER. Fertilizers or manures, which are
verY beneficial, should be applied in the
fall o. winter. The above points and ad-
vice seem worthy of consideration, and are
furnished by veteran fruit grower in a
contribution TO the New York Tribune.

How Some Eskimo Measure.

The ape which Tor perhaps whom Mr..
Romanes has succeeded in teaching to
count five seems to tread closely on the
heels of some of the races of men. In a
paper on the Eskimo of Point Barrow,
John Murdoch, of the National Museum,
said that, like the rest of those peoples,
they ordinarily do not use numbers greater
than five, but speak of six and all higher
numbers as ''many." Their real numbers
are one, two, three, four, five, ten (Which
means the upper part Of the body, namely,
the number of digits on the upper extrem-
ities), fifteen perhaps, and twenty (which
means "a man complete" j. e., all his dig
its used up. These numbers are almost
identical with those used IN other dialects,
while the intermediate numbers are quite
different, though expressed in a similar
manner-that is to say, $50 many on the
next hand or foot"
With such clumsy numerals, arithmeti-
cal processes are practically impossible
though they practice sort of crude addi-
ton, arriving at the number of large
series of objects by grouping them to-
gether in fives. In counting, the ordinal
numerals are used. This is also the same
as in the other dialects.
They originally had no standard of di-
mansions for space, but of late years have
learned to use the fathom in trading for
cloth, etc.
Time is measured by the sun and stars.
For example: the star Arcturus is the
seal-netters' timepiece. When he is in
the east, dawn is near, and it is time to
stop fishing. The year is divided into
four seasons-early winter, winter, early
summer, and summer.
Nine lunar months are known by name.
The rest of the year "there Is no moon,
only the SUM-" They begin to count the
moons from the early autumn, the time
when the women go off into the little
tents to work on deer-skins. The first
moon = roughly speaking, October = is
''the time for working, i. e., sewing;;" No
vember, "the second time for sewing :"
December, 'the time for dancing this is
the season of the great semi-dramatic fes-
tivals); January, "great cold" or 'littles un"
lin this moon the sun just re-appears at
noon; February, "the time for starting"
on the winter deer-hunt); March, "the
time for starting home" April, "the time
for making ready the boats" flor whaling);
May, "the time for fowling," and June,
''the time for bringing forth young when
the birds lay eggs).
They clearly distinguish "to-day,"
yesterday" and tomorrow" but "day
before yesterday" and " day after to-mor-
row" are the same; and, beyond that, allis
some time ago" or some time hence :"
the same world, till it gets to be "long
ago" or "by and by"
Then there are no dates in their past or
future, except what has happened or is to
happen.-Science.

Smokers' Vertigo.

Dr. Decaisne is reported in the New
York Medical Record as having recently
investigated number of cases of vertigo
in smokers. Out of SO patients 40 were
between 50 and sc years OF age. More than
half of them suffered, in addition, from
digestive troubles, with constipation, alter
mating with diarrhea, insomnia, palpita-
tions, dyspnea and diuresis- In the third
of the number there was marked intermit-
tence of the pulse and granular pharyn-
gifts, while others suffered from aphthe,
amblyopia, etc. Thirty-seven were persons
who smoked habitually on an empty
stomach, and these suffered from vertigo,
principally in the morning. The vertigo
generally conceded with suppression of
perspiration and diminished excretion OF
urine The treatment consisted mainly in
regulating or suppressing the cause, but SO
out of 81 patients ceased to suffer on
merely RETAINING from smoking on an
empty stomach.

Trees and Their Roots.

An observing horticultural contributor
to the New York Tribune. furnishes the
following: at was long question with
me whether the roots of trees nourished
and supported certain branches of the
trees, their foliage and fruitage, or the
sides of the trees where the roots grow,
or whether the substance extracted from
the earth by the roots went into common
fund, as it were, to aid in supporting the
entire tree; but now the problem seems to
be settled satisfactorily. Near residence
standing on hillside is chestnut tree,
famous originally for the very diminutive
nuts it bore. In grading about the prem
ises about five years ago, it became neces-
essary to deposit earth about two feet in
depth up to and on a line with the trunk
Of the tree on the upper side since that
time the nuts on that side grow as large as
chestnuts usually do, while those on the
lower side retain their diminutiveness."

north can have no idea of the sudden fall
of rain in these regions and the tremen-
dous volume of the down-pour, sometimes
causing the river TO rise eighty feet
in half day, its tide rolling
with frightful velocity, breaking over
banks and flooding the low-lands
The Nile never rises more than
forty feet, even in Upper Egypt, where its
maximum of twenty-four feet is considered
: a good Nile," bringing surprising fecund-
ity to the land it waters, while rise of
more than twenty eight feet becomes de-
structive and dangerous.
In making the Panama Canal the all
important question of labor supply has
presented many elements of uncertainty
The native races of the tropics there
mostly of African origin) seem to be the
only human beings who can endure hard
work under the burning Isthmian sun; but
even this supply is limited, for the entire
population of the small State of Panama
blacks, whites and all, including the com
pany's importation-is less than 10000.
For the most part workmen have been
imported, as many as 10000 having been
employed at once, the majority brought
from Jamaica, Cartagena and the lower
valley of the Mississippi.
Yet the main reliance must be placed in
machinery, and, realizing this, the COM
pany imported great many costly exca-
vators, dredges and locomotives each
excavator weighing several tons and rep
resenting from seventy five-horse power to
one hundred.
All the works for the construction of
dredges, machinery, etc, were erected at
the mouth of the Rio Grande, where
those employed were constantly exnased to
the pestilential exhalations OF Tie man
grove swamps through which that stream
finds its way to the sea Finally dam
was built across the Rio Grande, in order
to overflow the marshes, with the idea of
improving the sanitary conditions of the
place; but il did not seem to make much
difference. The mortality from smallpox,
yellow fever and local cdlenturas has al
ways been frightful. Every day two trains
have been run from Aspinwall to place
appropriately called Monkey" = the
Lone Mountain of the Isthmus-and every
one carried its burden of corpses to the
crowded cemetery.
This hot and humid atmosphere disin-
tegrates with inconceivable rapidity all
material exposed to its influence; and
earthquakes and terrenoles occasionally
brighten people out of their senses and
knock things topsy-turvy. Even could the
canal be completed according to promise,
it is serious question whether it would
ever have been made to pay for itself.

Onills and Tail Feathers.

Quite trade is done in the quilts of all
kinds of birds, and especially of the tail
feathers of turkeys. The feathers of the
second and third joints of the wings are
also in demand. These feathers are made
into busters, and even the small feathers
are sometimes stripped and applied to some
use in the ants. In this age of progress
nothing is lost or thrown away, and all
kinds of feathers should be saved. The

occurred before, OF January LIST, for over

To add to the gravity of the situation,
from an astronomical point of view, there
are 10 be two solar eclipses in 1889. This,
while not unprecedented, is still so I'M
usual that, aslrologically speaking, there is
no telling what may not happen before the
