Apple Trees Around London
from The London Daily News

Many apple trees in London Sub
urban gardens are in danger of eX'
tinction. This is a thousand pities,
because the apple tree, apart from
the attacks of caterpillars and
some liability to American blight,
not only lives and grows in Lon,
don gardens, but will bear abun-
dant fruit. Up to the past four
or five years it has been quite
common to find fairly we'll load
ed apple trees in hundreds of Lon
don suburban gardens. Latterly,
however, year after year the
foliage has no sooner developed
than it has been attacked by mgr
aids of caterpillars, and everywhere
round the metropolis may be seen
apple trees apparently all sere
and dead. The scanty brown
shriveled foliage left upon them
will presently fall, and another
crop of leaver will appear but the
trees have deem crippled and weak
ened, and this being repeated year
after wear must eventually kill the
trees-indeed, many have been
killed already. The caterpillar is
the larva of what entomologists
known as Yponomeuta padella-
the small errnine moth. It is no
new thing, of course. French Or
chards have been pesteredwith it,
and English orchards, too, for that
matter,

New Uses For Battle-Fields.

From the Baltimore Herald.
The Germans have often used their
ancient battle-felds on which to
train their soldiers. Just before the
Franco russian war the evolutions
ofthe Prussian army were held on
the historic field of Leuthen, in
Silesia, where, in 1857, Frederick
defeated the Austrians.
For year or two after the Leuth-
en- evolutions the Prussian troops
needed no instruction, having an
abundance ofpractice on the plains
and among the fields of France, but
a year after the war was over and
the viCtors had returned to Berlin,
the field of RossdaCh was chosen
for their evolutions, where Fred
erick defeated the French and i'm
perial armies and the historic sig
nifcance of the maneuvers on these
two memorable fields can not be
exaggerated.
A few years ago the South Ger
man evolutions were held in the
field of Blenheim, where Marlboro,
with the English and Austrians,
defeated the combined French and
Bavarian armies. The lines were
drawn up in exact accordance wi h
the records of that wonderful vic
tory; the mistakes made by both
sides were pointed out, and, in the
evolutions, rectihed, and it was
conclusivly shown that in place of
Marlboro being the victor he
should, by all rules of regular war
fare, have been defeated with ter
rible slaughter. The Austrians
have several times utilized Auster-
litz, in Moravia, where Napoleon
defeated the combined Russian and
Austrian armies, and won the battle
that decided the fate of Central
Europe.

Lightning eItinguiSheS Its Fire.
rom the Lewiston, Me. Journal,

From the Lewiston, Me. Journal,
One of the queerest incidents of
the recent electrical storm is reported
from South Windham, where light
ming struck the barn of Louis J.
Bracket, knocking out end and set
ting it on fire. Instead of going to
the earth the fluid followed the SER
vice pipe supplying the building
with water and entered the main
pipe running to Portland, and max
ing a large hole in it. The heavy
pressure sent water over the ridge
pole of the building, extinguished
the fire and then plowed up the field
and began to undermine the build
ing. Lucky the second main pipe
alongside the one injured was not
damaged, and by manipulating a
few gates it was changed over to
fill the high service, and few Port
land water takers knew that Their
supply had been in danger.

DROVE HIM MAD.
Bronson Towards Play and Its
Effect on Actor George
s. Knight.
New York Letter in Cleveland Ledger.

New York Letter in Cleveland Ledger
Bronson Howard drove George
S. Knight into lunacy, and in sor-
row for doing it has given a sum of
money to him. That is the days
news among the idle summer &C
tors in Upper Broadway, and it is
the subject of the days talk Like
most OF the bold, bald assertions
on the Rialto, it needs explanation
and qualification, although it ism t
a lie outright Sophie Worrall-
Knight, the actress, had come to
town to seek an engagement. She
had met Bronson Howard, who
had recently returned to America.
And how is George" he had
asked of Mrs. Knight, as they met
casually, at a theatre.
I'VE have removed him from
Burn Brae Asylum to his mothers
home in Philadelphia the wife
replied, "and there he will die be-
fore long"
A witness of this dialogue report
ed that while a further conversa-
ton was going on, the playwright
gave roll of bank notes to the
actress. Howard is rich and gener-
Gus. Knight is dying in poverty.
So the incident was reasonable.
But it is hardly fair to accuse the
playwright of driving the comedian
into lunaCy, although it is a fact
that a drama by Howard crazed
Knight. The play was Baron Ru-
dolph," and it was through the I'M
personation of the principal charaC-
ter that the actor become maniac.
AS the reader may remember, the
baron became a demented tramp,
and was depicted with great fervor
vividness by Knight, but without
success as a means of diversion.
Audiences found the tramp an I'M
pleasant fellow, and all the more
so by reason OF the actors clever
imitation of the genuine thing.
They had been accustomed to mer-
riment in this dialect actor, and
they would not accept his pathos
IN rags, Only one speech of his
was satisfactory in the whole play.
What do you want?" He was
asked by a man into whose door
yard he had strolled. Thereupon
the scarecrow of a wanderer survey
ed his own plight ruefully and res
pended: "Blease dell me Something's
vat l dond want"
Knight now occupies himself day
after day in meandering through
his role in Baron Rudolph, daz-
eddy and indistinctly, except when
he comes to the one utterance
which used to gain a round of
laughter and applause; but that
passage he delivers invariably for

Chicago Cheek.
From the New York sun.

From the New York sun.
Manager Aronson gazed in blank
establishment last night at a we'll
dressed and lively hammered
Chicagoan who slipped his card in
to the box-ofice window Of the
Casino, The card bore the name of
agent of the Chicago, Milwaukee
St. Paul Railroad, and the Chica-
goan backed it up with a pile of
railroad passes to prove his identity.
II would like complimentaries
for myself and eight ladies' he
said with a pleasant smile.
Manager Aronson recovered his
speech after awhile, and bowed.
II presume you're stranger in
town." he said, land therefore
you will be surprised. doubtless, to
learn that you have broken the re-
record for cheek at this theatre.
Il was the most staggering de-
mand on the free list that the man.
agement had yet run against. The
modest Chicagoan went off in a
huff when the request was refused.
