Prof. q. j. Weber, expert appointed
by the agricultural department last
year to investigate the pest of the water
hyacinths, which are fast blockadlng
our rivers, has faith in the destructive
ness of the red spider which has been
ravaging the leaves of the plant. 10
examine more closely the work OF this
insect, says the Florida Times-Union,
he gathered plants in Lake Monroe and
placed them in ponds in his own yard.
The spider, he says, is not quite so large
as the head of a pin, and is new spe-
cies, according to Prof. L. o. Howard,
chief of the chronological division OF
the department of agriculture, to whom
were sent specimens. The little fellow
multiplies with exceeding great rapid
ity, weaves his web from leaf to leaf,
raises his numerous family and attacks
the leaves, devouring them almost COM
pletely.
Don't understand me to say" said
Prof. Weber, that the red spider will
destroy the hyacinths completely. His
work will be beneficial, and if reen-
forced by other diseases of the plant
will no doubt open the rivers complete
ly. 1t is highly important. in my opin-
ion, for the government to send an ex-
pert in South American rivers to i'm
port all of the enemies of the hyacinth.
This, think, will be the most effective
way in which to destroy the pest"

Metallic Cheese.

It has been 4 common theme of con.
graduation by not few writers and
philanthroPists, says the London
Lancet, that the days are over when
people were poisoned by the indiscrim.
mate practices Of the adulteror, and
that now they are only cheated. Wha,
will be said, then, of the announcement
that both the salts of zinc and lead are
used in the preparation of cheese?
"Cheese spice" is the delectable name OF
erystaliizcd sulphate of zinc, which, ac-
cor6ing to Mr.. Allen, the public analyst
of Sheffield, is used to prevent the heav-
ing and cracking of cheese. Worse still,
Mr.. Stoddart, another public analyst,
has described sample of Canadian
cheese in which he found metallic lead,
and it is probable that the highly poi
sonous acetate of lead was employed
for the same purpose as the sulphate Of
zinc.

TIRE HINTS.

| A puncture has been successfully
sealed by postage stamp and tirt
tape.
Chewing gum, carefully spread ovel

has saved many o weary step.
A leaky valve is quite beyond the
stoutest and "stickiest" tire tape eve,
made.
The best remedy for side cut along
the rim is walk to the nearest railway
station.
Don't try to mend No. 10 puncture
with No. 2 plug. It's time and pa.
tience thrown away.
Instances are on record wherein o
| cyclist, without any other available
remedy, filled his tire with water, and
thus rode home.
Neither broken toothpicks nor
matches make successful plugs. Don't
believe the man who told you he mend
ed puncture in that manner.
A tire that jumps the rim can be kept
in place, even if the rider has no cement,
by tying it tightly and initiating it after
it is tied in position.
Wheelmen who live in states where
the pine trees grow, and who do not
chew gum or carry postage stamps,
scrape resin from the trees and mend
the punctures with that.
Court plaster. assisted by tire tape,
will last for time over a puncture.
Some kinds of court plaster are quite
porous, and, if used, will require many
applications of pump to the tire.

He Loved Truthfulness,

A careless mason dropped a brick
from the second story of building on
which he was at work, says an ex-
change. Leaning over the wall and
elancing downward, he discovered a
respectable citizen with his silk hat
jammed over his eyes and ears, rising
from a recumbent posture. The mason,
in tones of apprehension, inquired:
did that brick hit anyone down
there?" The citizen, with great diff
Guilty extricating himself from the ex-
tinguisher into which his hat had been
converted, replied, with considerable
wrath: "Yes, sir, it did. 1t hit me"
That's right" exclaimed the mason,
in tones of undisguised admiration;
"noble man, would rather have wasted
a thousand bricks than have you te.
me lie about it."
