HARVESTING THE TIDES.

One Instance i'm Which the Power
Has Been Successfully Applied.
Various plans have been suggested at
different times for the utilization Of
the energy developed by the rise and
fall of the tides, but the intermittent
character of the power has usually pre-
vented any satisfactory solution Of the
problem. There is, however, one in
stance in which tide power has been
quite successfully applied in very SIM
pie manner. Along the river front at
Liverpool there is tendency for the
accumulation of silt against the dock
walls, requiring occasional dredging
for its removal. Instead of using scoop
dredges, this mud is removed at diff
ferent periods by the use of tide power
in the following manner: Along the
base of the dock wall is laid pipe, per-
forated with holes, directed outward.
this pipe being connected with the In
terror of the dock system, and suitable
valves being provided to permit or
check the flow of water. When the
tide is very low, and consequently the
head of water measured from the sur
face in the docks Is at its greatest, a
sudden opening of the connection per-
mits rapid flushing action by the
water escaping through the holes in the
pipe at the base Of the walls, securing
out the mud and driving it out into
the river to be carried away. AS the
tides at Liverpool average about IS feet
or more, il is evident that this simple
form of dredging apparatus may be
very effective, and as the time chosen
for using it may be selected when the
supply of water is greatest. II does not
interfere with the regular use Of the
docks. Ultimately, no doubt. the In
PRODUCTION of practical and economical
forms of power storage will render the
equalization of tide power commercial
ly practicable, but at the present time
this example serves to demonstrate the
fact that solar and lunar attraction,
as expressed by the tides, have been
harnessed in small way at least

Nebraska EntomOIogist's Queer Mis-
sion to South America.
Millions of bushels of corn are an
nually exported from Buenos Ayres,
but Argentine has so suffered from a
plague of locusts that the entire crop
has been destroyed, and not q shipload
has been shipped this season. The
chamber of commerce has engaged
Prof. Lawrence Bruner, entomologist
for the agricultural experimental sta
ton of the University of Nebraska, to
investigate the locust migration. He
is now at Buenos Ayres, and if he sue
ceeds in discriminating locusts and
grasshoppers will receive handsome
bonus. He believes that methods en-
ployed in Nebraska will be efficacious
In South America. During the plague
in Nebraska he developed some won
derful results. Farmers who desired
aid sent in some healthy insects pro-
vided with sufficient food to last to
their journeys end. In return they
received ssick" bugs in packages, with
directions for using. The professor
began by securing some dead insects,
killed by the fungus sporotrichum
globuliferum. They were placed in
cages with healthy grasshoppers, kept
In high temperature, and the healthy
insects were soon inoculated. The dis
ease is a dry rot, which causes the
bodies of the 1ocusts to decay. The
spread is rapid, and result fatal. 1t
somewhat resemble leprosy in the
human family. The disease begins to
show from the second to the fourth day
after the infection has been placed in
the field. The bugs leave their food
plant and keep moving rapidly. The
next day they are sluggish and seek
protection from the sun. From the
sixth to the eighth day the first dead
bugs are found wrapped in fungus re-
sembling cotton. The insects do not
have sense enough to seek field not In
fected. but remain in the locality where
they are inoculated. - Chicago Inter

AFRAID OF THE HooDoo.
Why the Street Car Conductor Would Not
Cut the Pageant In Twain.

Why the Street Car Conductor Would Not
Cut the Pageant In Twain.
A hearse crossed the track and the
motoneer put on the brakes SO suddenly
that the car nearly stood on it's nose
Then he sat down on the front seat to
await the passing of the long string of
carriages following the black draped
vehicle.
A fat man who had nearly been
thrown over the front rail by the sud-
den stopping Of the car snorted angrily
"Why don't you cut acrossP I've got
to catch train. I can't wait here all
day"
Cant help it, boss You'll have to
wait and catch another train.
"Well, I'll report you to the COM
pany. That procession will take five
minutes in passing us. "
Report away can't help it if the
procession takes 90 minutes You
couldn't hire me to run this car across
that funeral procession for the best job
on the line. That's the worst hoodoo a
man could run up against. :"
tBahp' said the fat man.
"All right, boss. / know what I'm
talking about. One of the best men on
this line crossed funeral procession
soon after the trolley system was put
in. A live wire dropped on the back of
his neck and electrocuted him before
he'd gone a block. A little while later
another poor fellow cut across back of
a hearse. He ran over three children in
as many weeks. He quit the road as
crazy as loon. Now the conductor on
that same car has lost every cent he
had in the world, and his wife and
child have died. Bah, YOURSELF I'd like
to see you get off this car and walk
across in front Of one of those carriages
I'll bet you'd be catchin your last train
in this world pretty quick. Jest hop off
and try it now -
But the fat man only shifted uneasily
about on the hard car seat and waited
silently until the last carriage had
passed. New York Telegram.

A Butter Color.

If the chemists can secure anything
equivalent to the green of grass and
fresh cut folders, they will have found
perfect butter color, perhaps butter
favor as well. It is certain that the
bright green of June pastures makes the
yellow color SO much admired in butter
at that season. 1t is claimed that GER
tain ferment, known as bacillus Al, is
what makes the flavor of June butter.
This ferment germ will probably be also
found in the fresh June grass and other
green folders.
