Remedies.


Every MARBLE maggot destroyed in
spring before it escapes to the ground
to pupate means chat one less fly will
be present to lay eggs for the coming
brood. This should be carefully borne
in mind, for from it the conclusion is
obvious that if all the maggots now
present In the backs of the cattle of a
given neighbOrhood are killed, the egg
laying brood Of flies will be extermi-
mated and there will be no injury next
season. There is perhaps no other i'm
portant injurious insect whose numbers
can be so readily controlled; and the
experience of English farmers, as pub
lished in Miss Ormerods report, shows
that by concerted action and continue
ton of the treatment the amount OF
MARBLE attacks may be very rapidly
lesSened.
Perhaps the simplest remedy to use
during spring and early summer is to
squeeze the maggots out of the MARBLES.
When they are nearly full grown this
can be done with little trouble: and
when smaller the opening can be en-
larged with penknife so as to let
them out. A pair of medium-sized for
ceps are often helpful in removing
them. Another simple remedy is to ap-
ply to the opening little oil or grease,
which closes the breathing pores of the
maggot, thus causing it to die. Kero-
sene applied to the MARBLES either in
autumn, winter or spring also destroys
them, as does indeed the application of
almost any oily or fatty substance.
Dr. c. V. Riley says that smearing the
animals backs with this substance lis
the simplest and easiest method of de-
stroying the MARBLES, which it does by
closing the breathing pores on the pos
terror end of the body. The destruction Of
the larvae in this way may be effected
by one or two applications in autumn,
and is the most satisfactory method Of
controlling the pest"

certainly l shall not allow it, never;
would rather destroy it. 1t is my right
as citizen of free America to refuse to
communicate to any person the result OF
my work"
But" said President PRESTIGE in a
very serious voice, IF it is your right
to keep silent, it is the right Of the
whole United States TO ask you to stop
these rumors and give an explanation
OF the means which will be employed by
your company" Mr.. Maston did not
agree that it was his right nor that il
was his duty to answer further ques-
tons In spite Of their begging, threat
ening, etc, they could obtain nothing
from this man with the iron hook. New
er, never, would he say one word of it
and it was hardly possible to believe
that such a strong will was concealed
under that cover of ''gutta percha.

Ina Scorbitt, who was delighted by the
courageous attitude taken by him.
When the result Of this last meeting Of
the inquiry committee became known
public Indignation really took 3
turn which threatened the security
and safety Of the calculator.
The pressure OF public opinion was
so great that the Cabinet Of the govern
ment Of the United States was com
PEELED to give the committee fan per,
mission to do what they thought most
necessary and advisable in the matter.
One evening, the 18th Of March. ]. T.

Cottage, very much interested n differ

lutely refused to speak This was the
condition of affairs. If Ule president
succeeded in making this monster can
non and its projectile-in word, IL the
operation was carried out under the
above-stated conditions-it would mod
ify the earth's axis, and within six
months the earth would be subject to
the consequences Of this audaciouS at
tempt of Barbicane & Co. This would
come on the 22d day of September, twelve
hours after the passage of the sun over
the meridian of the place tx
The facts that were known were; 1st
That the shooting would be done with
cannon a million times larger than the
cannon of twenty-seven centimeters.
ID. That the cannon would be loaded
with a projectile of 10000 tons. Sd.
That the projectile would be animatedi
with velocity Of ., 500 kilometers. 4th.
That the shooting would take place ON
the 22d Of September, twelve hours
after the passage of the sun over the
meridian of the place *" Was it pos
sible TO deduce, under these facts, where
was the spot X" where the operation
was to take placer Evidently not, said
tho inquiry committee. There was
nothing by which to calculate where
the point ~ was, as nothing in the
calculation Of Mr. Maston indicated
through which point of the globe
the new axis was 70 pass, or in other
words, on which part of the present
earth the new Poles would be situated.
Therefore it would be impossible to
know which would be the elevated and
submerged countries, due 10 the
changed surface Of the ocean, or which
parts OF the earth would be trans
formed into water, and where water
would be transformed into land. 1t was
evident that the maximum change in
the ocean surface would be S,415
meters, and that in certain points Of the
globe various areas would be lowered
and raised TO this amount All, how
ever, depended upon the location of the
point TX, or where the shooting was to
take place. In other words, "xn was
the secret Of the promoter o. this I'M
certain affair. I'VE have" said the
committee, ''only TO mention again that
the inhabitants OF the world, no matter
in what part Of 1t they are living, are
directly interested in knowing the Sc
cret, as they are all directly threatened
by the actions Of Barbicane g. Co.
Therefore all the inhabitants of Europe,
Africa, Asia, America and Australia are
advised to watch all gun foundries,
powder factories, etc, which are sit
uated in their territory and to note the
presence of ali strangers whose arrival
may appear suspicious, and to ad Use the

did they both 60? Nobody could tell.
Evidently the two members of the gun
club went to that mysterious region
where preparations were going on for
the great operation. But where could
this place be? IL was most important
to know where this place was in order
to break up and destroy the plans of
these engineers before they had got too
far in their work.
The CONSERVATION produced by this
departure Of the president and his as
sociates was enormous. 1t soon changed
public opinion to hatred against the N.
P F. a. and its managers. But there
was one man who ought to know where
the president and his associates had
gone. There was one man who could
answer this gigantic question, which at
present excited the whole world, and
this man was-J T. Matson. He was
ordered to appear before the committee
of inquiry under the presidency of John
PRESTIGE. He did not appear Had he
also left Baltimore? Had he also
gone to join his associates to aid
them in their work, the results of
which the whole world now expected
with such immense fright? No, J. T.
Maston was living still in his Ballistic
Cottage at No. 100 Franklin street,
working all the time and already bS-
ginning new calculations, only inter
rupting his work when he wanted to
spend a social evening with Mrs. Evan
gelina Scorbitt at her magnificent resi-
dence at New Park. An agent was sent
to him by the president of the inquiry
committee with orders to bring him to
their meeting. The agent arrived
at the cottage, knocked at the door
and introduced himself He was
harshly received by Fire-Fire, but
much worse by the proprietor
of the house. However, Mr.. Maston
thought it was no more than right that
he should go to the meeting, and he
went with the agent. AS soon as he
had arrived they began to question him.
The first question was: Where is
Presiden. Barbicane and Captain Nicholl
at PRESENT." he answered with a steady
voice: II know where they are, but l
am not at liberty TO disclose this infor-
nation" Second question: Have he
and his associates made the necessary
preparations to put this operation in
working order?" This" said Maston,
lis part of the secret which can not
reveal" Would he be kind enough to
let this committee examine his own

UEs TO Pr sELENr.
According to former story gun was
70 be employed to throw the proiectile
from the earth 10 the moon; now the
gun was to be employed TO change the
earths axis. The cannon, always the
cannon; these gunners Of the gun club
had nothing else in their heads but the
cannon. They had real crease for
the cannon. Was this brutal engine
again threatening the universe? Yes,
we are sorry 70 confess II, il was a can
non which was uppermost in the mind
Of President Barbicane and his associ
ates. After the Columbiad Of Florida
they had gone on to the monster can
non OF the place *" We may almost
hear them shout with a loud voice:
Take aim at the moon First act,
Fire" Change the axis Of the earth.
Second act, Fire And the wish
which the whole world had for them
was: TO holl" Third act, Fire"
And really their scheme justified the
popular opinion
AS it was, the publication Of this last
report OF the committee in the news
papers produced an effect Of which one
can scarcely form an idea, The opera
ton to be tried by President Barbicane
and Captain Nicholl, IL was very clear,
was going TO bring about one Of the
most disastrous Interruptions in the
daily routine OF the earth. Every body
understood what tie consequences of 10
would be. Therefore the experiment of
Barbicane g. Go. was generally cursed,
denounced, etc. In the Old as well as
in the New World the members of the
N. p. r. A. had at the time only en-
emies. If there were indeed a few
friends left to them among their cranky
American admirers they were very few.
Regarding only their personal Sc
curity, President Barbicane and Captain
Nicholl had acted wisely in leaving Bal
timore and America. 1t was safe TO be-
lieve that some accident had happened
to them They could not without Di-
vine punishment threaten fourteen hun
dred million inhabitants by change
wrought in the habitabilitY of tho earth.

servant Fire-Fire, who was trying
TO keep the intruders from breaking
into the house and disturbing the

several others. This policeman had a

to take possession of all papers and also
