1t has been exceedingly difficult to pro.
tect vegetation from them. At the
Cornell university experiment station
investigation has been in progress for
the past three years to determine the
utility of various recommended meas
ures and to devise other effective ones.
Bulletin S3 contains the account OF
these experiments and Investigations.
Wire worms are long, slender grubs, OF
a ycllowish white color, having un.
usually hard bodies; the hardness and
form of body suggested the name.
They arc the young click beetles OF
swapping bugs, as they are often called
from their habit of doubling quickly
with swapping noise when put upon
their backs. by this movement they,
throw themselves some distance into
the air and come down upon their feet.
There are several species of these
beetles, the young of many being per-
fectly harmless, but others feed upon
seeds and the roots of plants which
they find in the soil. Destructive
species of wire worms were placed in
breeding cages. and the following
remedies were tried:
Protection of Seed: !. BY q coating OF paris
green and flour; .. by q coating OF tar: 3. BY
soaking in salt solution: T. By soaking In a
copperas solution; 5. By soaking in a chloride
OF lime and copperas solution: g. By soaking ir

Beauty often depends on
plumpness; SO does comfort;
so does health. If you get
thin, there is something
wrong, though you may feel
no sign of it.
Thinness itself is a sign;
sometimes the first sign;
sometimes not.
The way to get back
plumpness is by CAREFUL

BOLD MINERS.
They Relieve n Paymaster of $4,000 IN,
Coin at Oakland, Cal.

Coin at Oakland, Cal.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 13.-The bold
est robbery ever committed in this
vicinity occurred Saturday morning
across the bay in Oakland, when two
men in a crowded car were robbed of
$1,000 in coin, which they were taking
to the Judson iron works to pay off 400
workmep.
The coin was in the possession of
Secretary ellison and Boolslkeeper Nor
tensen, of the company, who started
with it from San Francisco on the IL
o'clock boat. They occupied a seat in
car on the Berkeley train next to the
baggage car. AS the train showed
up at B street two men entered
the front door, walked down the.
aisle, stopped suddenly before Gibson
and Mortensen, and presented pistols,
and demanded the money bags. Hold
up your hands," was the order, and Gill
son and Mortensen had no option but
to obey. Now hand over that money"
continued the leader.
ellison surrendered the bag of silver
(there were two, one containing $1,000
in silver and the other $4,000 in gold),
dropping the other between the seats,
hoping to elude the vigilance of the rob-
Der.
None of that" said the robber,
cooking his revolver, Hand over the,
other bag" and ellison passed it up,
ellison and Mortensen had thrown
over n seat in front of them and laid
the sacks containing the coin on a seat.
before them. The two men occupied
one seat and the coin was per-
haps 2 feet from them. Gibson
was reading u newspaper and was,
taken completely by surprise! Stimuli
taneously with the demand for the coin
the train started, and the two robbers.
backed out of the car with the money,
covering ellison and Mortensen with
their pistols as they escaped.
Pandemonium Immediately reigned
in the car. Everyone seemed to lose
his head. 1t was so sudden that the
thirty or more passengers in the
ear had hardly realized what had
taken place before the robbers
were in possession of the money
and were making their escape. Any
attempt to recover the money at the
time would have been fatal for the rob-
bers were shrewd enough to keep the
CONtEtu WIFI lHtlI ICNOlNCIS
until they reached the car door.
ellison went out on the platform and
emptied his revolver at the fleeing rob-
bers. One passenger said that the
smaller of the robbers staggered after
the firing, but this part of the story
was unconfirmed The robbers had
provided themselves with horse and
buggy with which to escape, and they
drove rapidly away.
The police think they have clew to
| the robbers, and have offered Il reward
| of $1,000 for the capture of j. q. Smith
and Joe Dunn, formerly employees of
the Judson company, but who left some
time ago of their own accord. The
| police refuse to give their reasons for
suspecting these men. The rob-
bers have been traced to the
foothills of Mount Diablo, 10 miles.

buried the money, and one remained
there to guard the treasure while the
others returned to Oakland with the
horse and buggy. Another man sus-
pected is discharged employe named
