ROLLING ACROSS THE OCEAN.
Tho Curious Craft That 10 Proposed BY :
Erarct Engineer.

French Engineer.
In these days Of revolutionary prof.
ects in matters mechanical and scien-
tific unusual engineering exploits have
lost much of their tendency to create
surprise. Still that sensation may be
produced in mild degree by the latest
scheme of ocean transportation which
has reached us from France, and which
has M. Bazin, not unknown in. engi-
neering circles, for it's author.
: M. Balm proposes, in brief, to build
an Atlantic liner on eight rollers, with
the view of securing speed much higher
than any thus far attached, arguing
that the wheels or rollers on which the
vessel is to rest will SO greatly diminish
the resistance offered by the waves that
80 knots an hour will be easily within
the bounds of possibility, and will en-
able the passage from Southampton or
Liverpool to New York to be made in
four days. The rollers are to enter the
water to depth of about 26 feet, and
revolve within platform placed about
"a feet above the water, so that there
will be a rolling instead of gliding
body, as is the case in ordinary ships.
The rollers presumably are to be worked
by engines to secure propulsion.
M. Balm claims to have settled by
experiment that the stability of the
roller type of vessel is at least as great
as that of the ordinary type, and be-
lieves that the construction of his design
Of ship will be much less costly thar
that of the usual description. Accord
ing to French report, it is proposed tt
put NJ. Bazin's plans to practica
test by constructing vessel about 40(
feet long and of about 80 feet beam
with rollers rs feet in diameter, and 81
feet wide. The latter are to make 2:
revolutions per minute.-Cassiers' Mag

Tho Exodus Beginning TO Assume ssri-

The Exodus Beginning to Assume . serf-
GUS Aspect to the Arctic Island.
Since the political agitations of Ice
land in 1885, which disturbed and dis
couraged the population, things have
been going materially from bad to
worse. We are occasionally called upon
to listen to jeremiads about Icelandic
starvation from those whose sentiment
for the Icelanders is more active than
their information is exact, and the
English public has become suspicious
of cries of ''Wolf!'' But the present
season, with its excellent weather and
good supplies Of food, has not shown
any reaction against the draining away
Of the people.
This summer no fewer than 600 per-
sons emigrated to America, bringing
the population below that limit of TO-
900 to which it had already dwindled,
The island now contains, it is believed,
fewer inhabitants than it did in 1870,
before the temporary rise in Icelandic
prosperity. The emigrants are largely
of the farm laborer class, and there is
growing complaint that portions of
the country are going out of cultiva-
ton because there is no one to work on
the land.
Canada is beginning to attract the
Icelanders to its northern provinces,
and during the last six months three or
four Canadian agents have been visit
ing every township in the island,
preaching the attractions of the new
country. The government has even gone
so far as to introduce bill proposing
to discourage emigration, or in any
case to put stop to the propaganda of
these Canadian agents, but it is doubt
full whether this measure will pass the
althing, and nothing seems able to
modify the distaste which the Icelander
has formed for his venerable but arid
acres.
A speaker in the althing the other
day remarked that bill preventing
Icelanders who were doing we'll in the
west from writing to their friends at
home would do a thousand times more
service than an attempt to persecute
touting colonial agents. Saturday Re.

a stage will be erected at one end.
Comic songs, skirt dances and other

JAPAN'S "UNKNOWABLE FIRE."
Professor Hisatomo Is Attempting to Solv
the Interesting Phenomenon.

the Interesting Phenomenon.
It has long been regarded as an mex
plicable mystery that luminous OBJ
ject, known as shiranu-hi" -literally
meaning unknowable fre''-is occa-
sionally seen at night, especially in
cloudy weather, on the sea in Tsukushi
bay. The superstltious ascribe this
unusual phenomenon to the spirits of
those lost at sea. But, according to the
vernacular press, the mystery is to be
solved ere long.
Professor Nakayalna Hisatomo of the
Kumanoto higher middle school, who is
now investigating the thing, is of the
opinion that phosphorus may possibly
be the cause Of this luminosity, which
may be emitted from animalculse in the
water. He has secured some water from
the place where the supposed fire makes
it's appearance and examined it with a
microscope, with the result that he
found number of animalculR in it.
It needs, however, more complete ex-
animation before finally. coming to q
determination on the subject, and with
this end in view he is stated to be now
pursuing his researches.
It may be added that Mr.. Kimotsuki
of the navy, who made an investiga-
ton of sea currents some time ago, re-
ported that the kuro-shiwo, or the
black current, which flows from the
neighborhood Of the Philippine archi-
pelago to the southern coast of Japan,
Is the warmest ocean stream in the
world, and consequently it may contain
minute animal life giving off phos.

Pathological Notes.
Insect Pest. and How TO Destroy Them.
THE GOBLIN MOTH.

THE GOBLIN MOTH.
Those Of Us who come from fruit grow
ing states readily recognize our old
! acquaintance, the apple worm.
Several years ago the writer was in
Fremont county when the Goblin moth
threatened TO destroy the apple and pear
growing industry. Everything that
promised aid towards reducing the count
less millions OF moths was tried by the
enterprising growers. Jesse Frazer, OF
Florence. purchased q large number Of
new-tangled moth ca,chers in the form of
lamps, with pans filed with oil below
them. into which not only the Goblin moth
but many others fell. This was fairly
successful, and when spraying was gen.
orally followed few years later. the hopes
OF the fruit growers were in measure
realized and it was found possible to grow
good proportion OF wormless fruit. Yet
with all the work performed, enough of
the moths still linger to render necessary
the most active warfare against them.
Some still use the lanterns. but the major
ity have come TO the conclusion that they
are Of little value and are now spraying
their trees and trapping the worms.
As two or three orchards in the county
on the lookout that the moths are kept in
check. or ex.ermina.ed if possible. and
special care must be taken not to use old
fruit packages lest. by means OF them,
some OF these pests should be carried TO
other orchards. Also all nursery stock
should be closely examined to see that
no cocoons containing the larvs escape
destruction.
The thing TO do now in bearing orchards
and in those that will bear this year is to
thoroughly wash all the trees and large
limbs, for the larvae generally hide under
the rough bark or in the crotches. ScraPe
off all the rough bark with a hoe before
applying the following wash. A bucket
made from five gallon oil can is good
thing to use. Slake enough lime to fill
the bucket two thirds full o. ordinary
white wash: Dissolve one fourth or one
half can concentrated lye and one half
pound whale oil soap and add TO the wash.
Power in two ounces carbalic acid-crude
anG c2e ounce sulphur, add clay or loan
to mixture TIL OF proper thickness to
apply well. 1t should make the bucket
about full; apply with brush OF old broom.
This wach is excellent for the trees aside
from its usefulness in destroying insects.
The cocoon of the moth, from one half
~
cylindrical, tapering slightly towards
both ends which are blunt and one usual
ly open, the other drawn together and
having attached toit the thread by which
the cocoon is suspended. 1 have found
1t on trees from Missouri, Nebraska, and
California.
As the subject OF spraying and trap
ping is not Of immediate interest, it will
be deferred to later issue.
