Clarence M. Weed, of the Ohio expert
ment station, suggests for the squash
vine borer a simple and by no means
new safeguard. This is to induce the
vines to take root at various places by
covering some of the joints with earth,
SO that if the main root is injured the
plants can grow from the other roots.
This plan is perfectly feasible if the
weather is not too dry.

Patti's MesOussah,

The talk as TO whether the mistress OF
Craig-y-Nos is Roman Catholic or Jewish in
her religious training has brought out the
following story:
The singer, DIaZ de Soria, an orthodox Is
realite, always carries mesOussah in a locket
attached 10 little chain around his neck. This
mes0uSsah Is little piece OF parchment, on
which are written In Hebrew characters the Ten
Commandments Sometimes Jews place upon
the doors of their houses these objects OF piefy
10 preserve their babitatiOns from all evil.
When DaZ de Sofia was singing IN PATHS
castle one evening last summer the mysterious
locket became detached from Its chain and fell
on The floor. Patti picked it up, asked DiaZ
what II signfed and received all the inlOrma-
ton that she desired concerning 1t. Then she

engagement at the Baldwin Theater during

marked since its revival at the Lyceum

The acts of this new play, just finished, and
secured by Charles Frohman for America,
illustrate: the first, an island on the Seine
the second, the private apartment OF Zeile;
the female dresser of the Coincide Franchise
the third, the Bureau of Labusiere; the
fourth, the Cour Of the Concergerie. One of
the most curious things about the play is
that, although it takes place at the end Of the
