A New Indiana Town.

Hon. Calvin S. Brice, owner of the
Lake Erie and Western Railroad, is at
the head of a scheme that will eclipse
any other project that has ever been
undertaken in the Indiana gas belt.
Several hundred acres of valuable
natural gas land in Delaware county
has been optioned by Mr.. Brice and
his associates. A syndicate has been
formed, with Mr.. Brice at the head ,and
they have unlimited capital. Other
gentlemen interested are the Messrs.
Jay, we'll known Grain merchant, OF
Findlay, O.; Mr.. Harris, of Kenton,
and Mr.. Huffman, of st. Marys, o.
The land is located ten miles west of
Muncie, on the line of the Lake Erie
road. The company has ten big manu-
featuring concerns, one of which is a
mommoth strawboard works. They
propose to establish the factories, and
the people will come, and great city
will at once grow up. The new town
will likely be known as Brice City.
The transactions have been kept a
secret.

THE route of the proposed new elec-
tric railroad from Napoleon to Bowl
ing Green via Grand Rapids should be
changed via Mcclure and Weston.
Mcclure trade goes to Napoleon, while
Weston trade goes to Bowling Green.
Both of these towns transact consider
able business in their respective county
seats yet they have no way of reaching
them except by road. For the new
road to strike Tontogany would prove
beneficial to no one as there is already
a branch of the G. H. & d. running
from that point to Bowling Green.
Then again, by following the telegraph
poles to Mcclure great many high
hills and deep valleys could be avoided
which must necessarily be crossed if
the river road be utilized.

The SPRAYING
OF FRUIT TREES AND THE MIX
TURE UsEDwITH THE OUTFIT
Necessary for Such Work as Found
by the Ohio Agriculture Expert
ment Station.

Spraying fruit trees and other plants
10 prevent the ravages of fungous dis
eases and depradations OF insects is
still novel thing to many, as shown
Dy the numerous queries received by
the experiment station concerning in-
gredlents used, and the necessary ap-
pllances with which to do the work.
For apple scab, various leaf diseases
OF fruit trees and grape rot the follow
ing are used
Bordeaux mixture: Copper suIpbate.
= IDS; quick lime, 4 lbs; water, so gall
Ions' Dissolve the copper sulphate
ana lime separately and mix when
Copper carbonate solution is made
oy dissolving six ounces of copper car
Donate in three pints of ammonia, and
diluting to so gallons, with water.
The bordeaux mixture is to be ap-
Piled TO fruit trees four times, twice be-
fore and twice after blooming, and
four ounces of Paris green are added
the third and fourth times to kill in
sects. Potatoes shoull be sprayed with
the same mixture five or six times,
Grape vines are treated the same, ex-
cept that six applications are given
and copper carbonate Is substituted for
the Bordeaux mixture for the fifth and
sixth, and no Paris green is used. These
mixtures properly used save the fruit
rom rot, scab, curcutio, apple worms
and various other diseases and insects.
10 apply these mixtures a good force
pump Is needed and in it should be
combined the following essentials: 1t
should be made of brass, or some ma
teri al which the chemical will not cor
rode, and if to be used for spraying
trees should have force enough to
throw two or three strong sprays. The
pump may be mounted on a tank or
barrel, which may be placed on sled,
cart or wagon. To keep the fluid agi-
tated, so as to prevent the settling of
the Ingredient, stream may be re-
turned from the pump to the tank, or
better still an agitator may be affixed
to the pump. For convenience in
spraying large trees about Is feet of
good rubber hose are needed, and to
this is attached galvanized iron pire
OF one-fourth Inches III diameter and
ten feet in length. To the other end
OF the pipe the nozzle is attached. The
nozzle should throw fine spray or
mist, and should not clog easily. If
the pump has sufficient force two or
more attachments can be made, and
several men kept busy at the same
time. For vines and shrubs KNAPP
sack or hand sprayer will do very good
work, but one of large capacity and
transported by horse is better for
trees. Manufacturers are beginning to
meet the demands for a good spraying
outfit, and III order to bring the pump
makers and pump users together, to
the end that the latter may inform
themselves as to the merits of the diff
ferent makes, the experiment station
has arranged for a public exhibit and
trial ofspraying appliances to be held
on its farm at Wooster, o.. April IA,
1898. It will pay fruit growers, gard.
ners, farmers and all interested to see
this exhibit and learn all they can
about how to make the mixtures and
to do the work.

THE New York Herald thinks there
is every reason to believe that the
vexatious differences between Protis-
tants and Catholics on the public
school question will soon be set at rest.
1t has been definitely ascertained that
Mgr. Satolli has full authority in set
tling the issue, and that his commands
are the commands of Rome. Satolli
has declared that Catholic children
can find in our public schools whatev-
er is necessary to the proper equipment
of citizen. In this regard he is fol-
lowing out the instructions OF the Pope
In developing Catholicism along the
lines of American institutions, with
out running counter to our established
usages and customs. The policy is
wise, broad and generous, and Is In full
accord with the temperament Of the
American people, Bee.

THE NARoNICS MAST.

Crew of the Trafalgar See 1t Sticking
Up Out of the Water.
NEW York, April 4.-Interest in the
mysterious fate of the White Star line
freighter Naronic was re-awakened yes
terday upon the arrival of the British
ship Trafalgar of Glasgow, SO days out
from Rio Janeiro. The Trafalgar came
by way of the Delaware breakwater.
The captain reported that on March q,
while in the gulf stream, he passed the
floating mast of large vessel.
The mast was almost entirely sub
merged and the Trafalgar passed near
enough to it so that the officers deter
mined with certainty that the timber
and cordage had not been long in the
water. In shipping circles it is not
thought improbable that the wreckage
is from the missing Naronic. The size
and shape of the mast give color to this
belief, and further reports from ships
sailing in the course taken by the
Trafalgar are awaited with interest.
The British steamship Kolpino from
London arrived in this port yesterday
morning aud her captain reports that in
1916 latitude north, longitude 11:3S
west, he passed part of the hull of a
wooden vessel with is large knees
standing eight feet out of the water.
The vessel is a terrible obstruction to
navigation, and a vassel coming in con-
tact with her would almost surely

would be the proper thing to buy the

convert it into public park, which
might be used as great drill ground
for national encampments, and, in fact,
for all sorts of large gatherings of a
general and nonsectional nature. The
