The State Board Of Health is acting wisely in
its exercise Of caution about approving the scheme
for sewerage system at Far Rockaway which
proposes to make Jamaica Bay its outlet. The
sewerage question at our seaside resorts has not
been satisfactorily solved yet. although no more
important question presents itself to summer
dwellers along the coast 1t Is satisfaction 10
know that Far Rockaway is making vigorous
effort TO provide itself with system of sewers,
and we hope that when completed it will be
adequate and comprehensive. There is doubt.
however, whether if the sewage Is discharged
in Jamaica Bay, the tides are strong enough to
carry it away and keep the bay in healthful
condition. Far Rockaway, of course, has no right
to benefit itself at the expense of people living
on the shores Of the bay. The ocean itself would
seem to be the proper place for the outlet of the
sewerage system, though possibly by the use of
deodorlzers the bay need not be injured If the
plans now under consideration are adopted.

The farmer or dairymen who
does not keep a daily record and
an account book in which are en-.
tered facts and observations and
all money transactions, fails to
practice that economy which is the
fundamental basis of prosperity.
The most interesting book In a
farmers library is the small
volume in which he has written
down every evening the events Of
the day and the facts of interest he
has observed. This writing not
only makes permanent record
but fixes the knowledge gained on
his mind.

Neglected Orchards.

A good deal of care and judg
ment is required in deciding how
to prune neglected trees or vines
of any kind. Severe pruning
especially while the buds are dor.
mant, forces so much sap into the
few buds that are left that they
grow coarse, sappy, and even il
blossoms appear on them the fruit
will not set. Old grape vines that
have not been pruned for two OF
three years should be left with
more top than would be advisable
for regular pruning. The second
year this top may be reduced to
what it should be, in the meantime
training up new shoots and cutting
the old.

JOHN ADAMAC LIVING.
He Was Shot in the Head and Officers
Went Out to Hold the Inquest,
but too Early.

AS stated in Saturdays BANNER,
John Adamac had shot himself, but
it was a mistake about him being
dead. The note to Justice Curry
stated he was dead, and in answer
to the summons, accompanied by
Mr. Frank Haubelt, he went out
Friday to hold the inquest over the
remains.
Mr.. Adamac was found stretched
out at the residence of his father-in-
law, Mr.. Joe Sebaster, near Wesley
with the bullet hole in his forehead,
and as these gentlemen who had
gone out to hold the inquest went
in, it never occurred to them that he
was not dead, as had been reported =,
but immagine their surprise, when,
while viewing the body Mr.. Adamac
drew up one leg and kicking it
out following this seeming revivica,
ton of the dead by a wild clutch at
the empty air with his left hand. In
a short time DR.. Knolle came in and
made an examination pronouncing
the wound fatal, but said that he
might live two or three days.
They deferred holding the inquest.
but learned the following additional
particulars of the tragedy. Adamacs
wife was at her fathers who resides
a mile or more from his home, and
some time during Thurs day night
he went over there. The family
were thrown into terrible state of
excitement by the report of shot
gun the contents crashing into the
house. This was followed by the
report of a rife, but none ventured
out until Friday morning when
Adamac was found lying in the
horse lot with the wound already
described in his forehead and the
shot gun and rife lying near by,
both having been freshly discharged.
The supposition was that he shot
into the house and from the commo-
ton supposed he had shot some of
them and then shot himself with the
rifle.

no introduction, but the BANNER
would call their attention to her
merits by the reproduction of the

lend US helping band in electing
her to the scholarship. She will be
an honor to the Brigade, as well as
to Brennan and the State, if

''She is without fortune, save that
which nature has bestowed, high in

winning that they make her a uni

years since, and was one of the
brightest girls, in one of the bright

then she has been in business. filling
efficiently whatever position she oc-

more honor.

will adopt her, and may success at

PATHS OF ANCIENT RIVERS.

Between Cape Mendocino and
and San Diego, on the Pacific Coast
of the United States, have been
made out twenty submarine channels
which are not, like the channels of
the Atlantic Coast, connected with
any existing river valleys. They
run in close to the shore, on the
contrary, and abut against a bold
coast, with mountains rising in some
cases 5000 feet within three to five
miles of the shore. Prof. Joseph
LIE Conte suggests, as the only pos
sible explanation, that the channels
were produced by early rivers, whose
places of emptying were changed by
volcanic action near the close of the
Pliocene epoch.

A note to Justice Curry Frida,
morning from Wesley states tina
Jno. Adamac, Bohemian, had sho
himself. He was found dead at hi
home Friday morning with bullet
hole in his forehead.
He was man of about 35 years
age and had been three times mar.
ried. He is the father of five chill
dren by his first wife, before theil
separation and divorce, the custody
of the children having been left to
his wife and her relatives until his
subsequent marriage to wife number
two. He then claimed the custody
of the children, which was refused
suit resulting when he was given
the children in court at this place
under a writ of habeas corpus; the
scene at the time is said 10 have
been very affecting, none of the
children save the elder remembering
their father at all, but having gained
possession of them but it is said that
he treated them well. She died aftera
short and unhappy turn of domestic
infelicity and Mr.. Adamac married
wife number three. It seems that
he didn't have much the best of her
in any way, and when ever things
didn't go to suit her she left him,
but recorciiations would follow.
They have been separated several
times, she alleges for cruel treatment
and it was not more than couple
of weeks ago that she was in the city
endeavoring to bring their domestic
TROUBLES into Justice Curry's court
on the complaint of ill-treatment.
His whole domestic life seems to
have been one of unhappiness, and
this perhaps had something to do
with his fleeing from present
troubles and taking his chances at
into those he knew not Of
beyond the silent shore.

BIRTH OF THE MOON.

When the earth was young, says
DIR. Ball, Astronomer Royal for Ire
land, it spun around at such rate
that the day was only three hours
long. The earth was liquid then,
and as it revolved at that fearful
speed the sun caused ever increas
ing tides upon its surface until at
last it burst in two. The smaller
part became the moon, which has
been going around the earth ever
since at an increasing distance. The
influence of the moon now raises
tides on the earth, and while there
was any liquid to operate on in the
moon the earth heaped up much
greater lunar tides.

In the last few years some very
interesting experiments in gardening
by electricity have been made by
Pref. Selim Lemstrom, of the Uni
versity of Helslngfors. These have
been carried out both upon the pot
ted plants in the dollhouse and upon
plants in the open field, the insulated
wires IN the latter case being stretch.
ed upon poles over the plot of
ground, and provided with a point
for each square metre of area. The
current has boon supplied by Holtz
machines run from s to Is hours
daily, the positive pole being con-
nected with the network of wires
and the negative with zinc plate
buried in the ground. The electric
influence was scarcely perceptible in
the growing plants, but was very
marked in the yield of many species
especially of barley and wheat, of
which the crop was increased by
half in some cases. In the dollhouse
the maturity of strawberries was
greatly advanced. The results have
shown that plants may be divided
into two groups; one, the develop
ment of which is favored by cleo
tricity, comprising wheat, rye, bar
ley, oats, red and white beets.
parsnips, potatoes, celeriac, beans,
raspberres, strawberries and leeks;
and the other, whose development
is more or less interfered with by
electricity, including peas, carrots,
kohlrabi, rutabagas, turnips, white
cabbages, and tobacco. The more
fertile the soil, and consequently
the more vigorous the vegetation,
the greater has been the excess of
the crop under electric influence.
Prof. Lemstrom'S experiments up to
1887 were carried on III Finland. but
he has since repeated his work in
France, and demonstrated that the
influence is the same in anv
climate, though likely to beinjurious
under the scorching sun.
