McAdoo went to the League Island and

the Department will be obliged to ask
Congress for an appropriation at the next

for use. When these are turned over the

TOBACCO DUST FOR BUGS.
1t is an All-Around Cure for Plants
Which are Insect Affected

\ reader asks me whether tobacco dust
should be applied TO vines when they are
wet with dew or when they are dry. This
moves me to say that tobacco dust or the
bone meal or the mixture of both, is not
intended as Il coating for the leaves,
which would make them poisonous or
unpalatable. but as covering for the
soil, that will make the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
uncomfortable for insects and worms

has Il more thorough effect on bugs and

Tesla's statement that he is satisfied
that the cost of generating by water

the enormous saving which the new sys-

1t also suggests that in the near
future the companies which have
been organized for utilizing the
water power of the Potomac, the
Upper Delaware, the Merrimac and the

Lawrence, will take advantage of their
franchises and begin TO establish their

Float Away and Give the Parent Plant
Room to Grow.
1t Is good for plants to keep as much
apart as possible. If the seed fell
straight to the ground, and the young
plants grew up together around the
parent one they would starve each 9TH
er out. For plants are like people, and
when crowded too closely together, fall
to fighting among themselves. Their
struggles are very bitter ones, though
we do not see or hear them. The plants
that are strongest in these silent bat
ties end by getting the light and Air
and water and food they need from the
soil, while the poor weaklings are left
to starve and die. To prevent too much
of this wasteful crowding and struE-
Cling old Dame Nature has invented
many n clever little scheme, writes
Thomas kearney in st. Nicholas.
When trees or smaller plants grow
on river banks their fruits often fall
into the water and are carried down
stream by the current, sometimes find
ing landing places on the banks and
so growing up into new plants. Who
has not seen sycamore balls and BUCK
eyes travelling along in this easy fash
ion? These are the fruits of the trees
they grow on. Fruit is the part of the
plant that incloses the seed with the
seed itself So the dry pods that hold
the black morning glory seeds are as
truly fruits as are apples or strawber-
ries, though we commonly use the
word only for those that are good to
eat.
1t often happens that on small is
lands in rivers, trees and flowers are
found that do not grow on the neigh
boring banks. These have come down

fruits are thus borne quite out to sea,
and then they may be caught up by
ocean currents and carried long dis
tances. 1t has been said that Column

might be land beyond the western
ocean on seeing some strange nuts that
had been washed to the shores of the
Azores from far away America.
