ton Of the Civil Service.

WASHINGTON, MAY l2.-In the Senate
the bill passed by the Senate yesterday in
relation to the insignia of breyet officers
was recalled from the House, the vote pass
ing il having been ION motion OF Hawleyl
reconsidered. The naval appropriation bill
was taken up. Not till 81 pages of the bill
was read was any important amendment
reached; that being one TO insert an item OF
$4,000 toward the expenses of the interna-
tional naval rendezvous and review in CON
neetion with the Worlds Columbian Expo
sition. Mcpherson asked Hale Tin charge
of the bill) whether $50 900 would be sutti-
cient. No, said Hale, but the secretary of
the navy thought that would cover all he
needed for the present. Next winter, OF
course, there will be more needed. The
amendment was agreed 10.
This brought the bill 10 the point where
the increase of navy" is provided for. As
that subject would necessarily lead 10 de-
bate, Hale thought it good point at which
to halt. He then proceeded to offer lot of
less important amendments TO the preceding
portions of the bill, among them being an
item of S2d, 900 for the League Island navy
yard: an item for the appointment, by the
secretary OF the navy, of three naval officers
of high rank, three eminent astronomers and
three other civilians, as a commission to
report an appropriate organization for a
naval Observatory They were agreed 10 !;
then the bill went over till tomorrow. After
II brief executive session the Senate ad-
journed.

order against the proyiso that all articles

seemed TO him the beginning of an effort to
revise the tariff on the appropriation bill
1t was not germane to the subject matter of
the bill. and the committee on appropria-
tions had no jurisdiction of the tariff After
discussion. the Char ruled the proyiso out
of order.
Reed Of Maine moved to increase the ap-
preparation for the light house establish
ment from $4,000 TO s4Gs 900. Reed
said the bill as reported, appropriated $50

was exactly what his amendment proposed.
Holman hoped the increase wouh not be

Reed inquired whether the gentleman had
not approved the bill as reported.
Holman declined to state.
Reed again suggested that his amend

Newspaper Bulletin No. 3-Spraying expcr-
iments, And What Is Learned From Them.
T Special to the KESSEBEc Journal. !

Special to the kESSEBEC Journal.
ORoNo. May 5th.-From experiments
carried on under the direction of the horti-
culturist of the Maine Experiment Station
with view TO checking the work of the
codling moth, the following conclusions are
drawn:
l. All sprayed trees had smaller per
centage of wormy fruit than did the un-
sprayed.
.. A mixture of one pound paris green
to $50 gallons water gave better results
than did a weaker MIXTURE: though a mix
ture of one pound 30 go gallons saved a
large percentage of the fruit
,. The number of windfalls was greatly
Iessened by spraying, --.-
I. The proportion of wormy fruits
among the windfalls was much smaller
from the sprayed trees.
:. There is no danger of poisoning from
the use of fruit which has been sprayed as
directed.
6. The best time to spray probably va
ries with different varieties, but in no case
should any tress be sprayed before the bios
SONS fall
:. There is great liability to injury of
foliage from the use of London purple than
from the use of Paris green.
4 study was also made as TO means of
preventing or checking the rayages of the
apple scab.
Apple seab is caused by the attack of a
parasite fungus which grows on the leaves
and Young twigs as well as on the fruit.
The attack is most severe in cool moist,
seasons. and if 1t occur early in the season,
before the years growth is completed, the
trees may he seriously injured.
Spraying with carbonate of copper dis
solved in ammonia and diluted, has proved
an effective means of holding the fungus in
check. The average increase of salable
fruit on the sprayed trees. over that on un-
sprayed trees was 80 per cent. while in
some cases the increase amounted to Gj per
cent.
\ solution of three ounces of carbonate of
copper in one quart of ammonia, diluted
with 3:i gallons of water. was found very
satisfactory. The cost of spraying with
this solution is about cents per tree for
each application.
The necessary chemicals may be obtained
