wrong, to NOW down the spreading evil,
to keep it from filling the soil far and wide
with the seeds of next years hay fever.
OF this peculiar and distressing fever
there are many varieties, each an inven-
ton of the adversary. 1t is believed by
many who have looked into the matter that
the floating pollen from pestiferous way
side weeds is the instrument by which the
adversary works such woe upon his VIC
Tins.
The hay fever season is at its height. So
are the weeds. 1t is not alone in the bye
paths and newly cut suburban streets that
the weeds are growing rank and tall, bios
soming and going to seed for another sea-
sons mischief, no man taking thought
for them,- in streets near the city's
center, and by broad, well-traveled ave-
nues they seem to be riotipg in an impish
soythe for they have never seen one, or
heard the ring of the blade upon the whet-
stone. They tremble not at the fire for it
comes not nigh them, though 1t is the
proper ending for their worse than useless
lives. There are places where lady can
hardly pass without brushing her dress on
either side against tall ranks of rag weed
and setting its pollen all flying; there are
back yards that are hot beds of weedy
iniquity, and vacant lots, 80 called, crowded
with undesirable tenants who struggle, and
encroach, and wax mighty, and only re-
pay their landlord by giving him sneez-
ing ft. fit we're only the landlord no
one would care, but, as always, the inno-
cent must suffer with the guilty, and per-
hsps sneeze oftener.
Here are few of the squatters upon our
city lots: Pigweed, ragweed, clotweed and
hogweed; smartweed, yellowdock and bur-
dock; wild cucumber, dog fennel. plaintain,
knot grass and witch grass, with the less
harmful milkweed and melilot, and the
elegantly named dstura stramonium.
There are other varieties too numerous to
mention, but all able bodied and lively.
The encouragement of weeds and the dis
couragement of women is the ssme-a want
of good husbandry. Cannot this matter
be righted and these bad citizens be dealt
with in summary manner before the
autumna The law should lay its strong
hand upon them, but as it does not, will
not the active philanthropist please start
out with a scythe? HILARY.

Professor John B. Smith, of the New Jer.
sey State Experimental station to tell ua
what katy-did. According to him, katy dds
have done much harm to the cranberry
crops this season. Describing one journey
through the cranberry region of the State,
he says that in more than one bog cater
pillars and katy-dids had been caught and
examined in proximity to cranberry
bushes. In every instance he found that
the caterpillars had only eaten grass. But
in the katy we're found cranberry
seeds, showing at once where the blame
lay. It does not eat the berry, but the
seed. The katy-did's eggs are laid on the
edge of theaeaves, and the insect only at
tains wings about the end of its existence.

Is THE MOSQUITO DOOMEDe


Many elaborate and learned essays con-
cerning the determination of the mosquito
have been written. One Of the most elab-
crate and profound recommended the cul-
tivation of the dragon fly, or "devils
darning needle" as the most effective foe
of the morquito But it is apparent that
there are serious difficulties in the way of
breeding dragon flies, and it is possible
that if they should become very numerous
they might be nuisance. Moreover, ev-
erybody who had cloud of mosquitoes
might not be able to secure flock of
still hope, as we have 20 long been hoping,
that the mosquito is not entirely independ
ent of the assaults of irritated humanity.
A CLEAN of light on this dark subject
comes from kerosene, which has been used
with great success this summer against the
active and persistent mosquito of the Cats
kills A thoughtful man who was troubled
by mosquitoes made search for their
breeding place and found 1t in a rain water
pool having surface area of sixty square
feet in the neighborhood. Eggs had been
deposited freely on the water, and it was
very plain that the cottsgsr was destined
to be annoyed by innumerable mosquitoes
unless remedy was applied at once. He
determined to try kerosene, and sprinkled
four ounces of it over the surface of the
pool. At the end of ten days it WAS COW
cred with dead insects to the number of
d0n Meet of <hov,, 1,,oro cyro}o brk fbara
were 31 female mosquitoes and many
males. The number may appear trifing
enough, but on that score the expert
menter has this to say: Now the
average number of eggs laid by a
female mosquito is 800, and the destruc-
ton of these 371 specimens prevented the
development of Ill, 300 individuals of the
next generation. Moreover, certain females
few away after touching the surface of the
water, and undoubtedly died at some dis
tance from the pool, 80 that the effect Of
the application was even greater than these
figures indicate. In fact the capacity Of
the remedy was only limited by the num-
| ber of mosquitoes seeking the surface of
the pool for egglaying purposes, and in a
locality of greater mosquito abundance
the estimate of the potentiality of the rem
| edy would have been enormous.
It is to be hoped that others will make
similar experiments. They will not cost
much, and if there is any way to discour-
age the mosquito its discoverers will be
entitled to the gratitude of mankind. If
those who are fighting the electric road on
the east shore will turn their attention to
destroying mosquitoes with kerosene they
may do some good.

BATH, England. Aug. 90.
To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
Nowhere in England have so many great
men and women come and for time lived
and left behind them such clear and charm
ing chronicles of their tarrying, as in the
interesting old Somersetshire city of Bath.
Curiously enough it furnishes few of the
ordinary characteristics which render most
other British cities attractive to the trav-
eler. There are no ruins of castles or ves-
tiges of siege and slaughter. No kings
were crowned or are entombed within it.
1t has no cathedral, vast, dim, shrineful,
where Cromwell can still be remembered
in the headless and limbless effgies of
martyrs and saints. Even its abbey
church has scarcely had time to turn gray
from the hands of its sixteenth and sew.
enteenth century builders. The city's no.
| BILE crescents and parades are scarcely an
hundred years old, and only in odd quar-,
ters of the old town are found the tender
browns and grays mingled with the masses
of ivy which mutely tell of q remote and
hoary long ago.
And yet Bath has known antiquity oI
nearly two thousand years, one that yor
can see any day of the year with your OWL
eyes, and claimed antiquity of nearly
thousand years beyond that. 1t is in tn,
baths of Bath, modern and ancient, tha
| chief interest centers. From the stand

PORTRAITS OF COLUMBUS.

The public school pupils, who are gong to have tho lead all over America Tn the celebration of the Tooth anniver. tary of the discovery of America by Columbus, are already asking how Co lu.abus looked.
 Many leading American publications have recently contained timely articles on the great discoverer, and the variety or portraits which has accompanied these articles has been surprising.
 By the highest authorities it is con- ceded that there is no likeness of COl-n- bus whose claim to consideration is in- disputable.
 From Oviedo and his own son Ferdi- nand-two persons who knew him-we have descriptions of his appearance, upon which must be based our judg- ment of the alleged portraits.
 From them we learn that his face was long, neither full nor thin; his cheek bones rather high; his nose aqui- line; his eyes light gray; his complexion fair and high cOlOred. Up to the age of thirty his hair was of light color, but became rapidly gray after that age. It must be admitted i'll the face of these details that not one of the portraits gives very positive evidence of presenting the great dlscoverer as he lived.
 The earliest claimant for considera- tion Is a wood engraving by Paolo Giovio, published in 1515, which we give.
