INSPECTION OF PLANTS.
In 70 Other Way Can thc Introduction
and Propagation of Insect
Pests Be Prevented.

The need of government inspection
of all importations of plants and shrubs
and the danger to the agriculturists OF
the country through the present lack
of such inspection, was clearly shown
the other day at the agricultural de-
partment buildings in Washington,
when several large boxes of plants ar
rived from Japan. They were opened
and a number of them found to con-
tain young camphor trees intended for
distribution among the southern staes.
AS is usually the case, the various sci
entists Of the department-the bug
men, the fungus specialists, etc.,-were
present and on the lookout for any new
bugs, fungi or other pests. The expert
examination resulted in the entire lot
of camphor trees being burned up, al
though to all appearances they were
fairly healthy. Every plant was affect
ed by kind of anthracnose, and mil
dew and species of scale insect were
found.
The camphor tree as grown in the
United States is remarkably free from
diseases, but with the distribution
which might have been given this lot
of trees, perhaps highly injurious dis
eases and insects would have been in
troduced in all camphor growing Sec
tons: Such diseases frequently do not
develop on the one or two-year-old
nursery plants, and if sent out by
nurserymen who do not take especial
notice and who, anyway, having paid
for their importation, are 10th to adopt
stringent measures, are very liable to
spdead an ineradicable disease before
it's very existence may be known. The
camphor industry in the United States
is not now an important one, but in
later years it may be, yet this is simply
an example of what is liable to occur
in other and more valuable industries.
There is absolutely no national protec-
ton possible under present laws. If
the nurseryman wishes to import
similar lot of camphor trees from
Japan, or some other more widely
grown tree, and send them out broad
cast over the country, even though they
be full of diseases, he cannot be stopped
by the government. Many of the worst
diseases and insects have been brought
into the United States in this manner,
requiring the annual outlay of thou
sands of dollars to combat their depre-
dations; whereas, at comparatively
small cost the government could en-
tirely control all imports of plants,
seeds, etc., and save growers from pos
sible additional losses through these
mediums. Germany, France, Italy and
even dozens of unimportant colonies
are enforcing stringent regulations in
this respect, but the United States, the
country in which the imports are larg-
est and most varied because of the en-
ergy of her people, is the farthest be-
hind.-Journal OF Agriculture.

NEW CANALS IN GERMANY.
The Great Waterway That Is to Run
East and West Through the
Country.

The Germans attribute their rapid
commercial progress in part to the adj
vanced development of their internal
means of communication by rail, river
and canal. They are not able, for in
stance, to mine coal quite SO cheaply
as is done in England, but they can
carry their products to the iron mines
for smelling purposes on the state rail-
roads, at SO small figure that it equal
ICES matters, and they accordingly
manufacture pig iron as cheaply as is
done in England. Thcy are now at work
on what is known as the Midland canal
which is to run east and west, cutting
through the territory between the
Elbe and the Rhine, permitting not only
the direct passage of ships from one to
the othsr without unloading, but also
allowing Rhine boats to carry cargoca
gathered in the harbors of the North
sea to places far inland. The canal Will
also connect with other canal-systems,
penetrating to the Oder and Vistula,
so that all parts of the country may be
reached by water direct from the North
sea. Side canals are to run to Osna
bruck, lIildersheim, Peinc, Brunswick,
Madgeburg, and perhaps to Neinburg.
The cost of the work is estimated at
s3s, $1,000.
Nature has traced the course of this
canal, and the work presents so few
difficulties that it is hard to understand
why it has not been built before, con-
sidering the importance of the region
between the Ems, Weser and Elbe as Il
means Of internal communication. The
Dortmund canal, already in operation,
will be part of the system. The canal
will be dug from Bevergern, on the
Dortmund canal, to the Ems, will reach
the Weser at A1inden, the Leine near
Hanover, and Will finally join the Elbe
at Heinrichsberg, little below Madgc-
burg. This stretch Of the canal will be
about 200 miles long. The region is
very fiat, and over half the canal will
be at an altitude of about $50 feet and
70 miles at an elevation of 175 feet.
There will be only six locks. The canal
will be no feet wide at the surface, 60
feet wide at the bottom, and ten feet
deep.
AS the great ditch will run through
region of extensive marshes, the canal
will be of much Importance not only for
commerce but also as a regulator of the
drainage and water supply. In the
eastern part of its course the iron in
dustries are highly developed. 1t is
also expected that large quantities Of
fertilizers will be transported by the
canal for the improvement of the poor,
sandy soil in this part of the low Ger
man plain, and it is thought the result
will be a considerable increase in the
density of population.
Canalization is of much Importance
in country like Germany, and the re-
suits thus far obtained have more than
justified the expenditure. Emperor
William recently said that the empires
future is on the water, and he has done
much to encourage canal building.
Last month he approved the plans for
the projected ship canal between Stet-
tin and Berlin, by means of which yes
sells of heavy tonnage will be able to
load and discharge cargoes at Berlin

Modern cnve Dmellers.

Cave jewellers, or, to be exact, earth
or rock dwellers, are not yet extinct. A
traveller who visited the prehistoric
cave dwellings near Halberstadt, in the
Harz mountains, found in the nearby
village of Langenstein ten caves hewn
in the rock and occupied by 40 persons.
This little settlement is built on the
slope of a rocky hill near the village.
The fronts of the dwellings were made
by cutting a vertical face in the rock.
Each "house" has door and one win
dow. The first house was constructed
only 40 years ago by young married
couple who were too poor to pay their
rent in the village. The rock houses
are warm in winter and cool in sum-
mer. They are quite healthful, accord
ing TO the testimony of their inhab-
itants, whose stout limbs and red
cheeks vouch for the truth of their
statements.-N. Y. Herald.

San jose scale specitic.

More than one authority states that
there is practically no interest in Cali
fornia over the San Jose scale. The San
Jose spray is considered q sovereign
remedy. The formula for it is follows:
Unslaked lime, 40 pounds; SALT 10
pounds; sulphur, 20 pounds. Ten
pounds of lime are first slaked and
boiled with the sulphur in 90 gallons OF
water for three hours. The remaining
lime and salt are then added, and the
whole boiled an hour longer. Sufficient
water is then added to bring the whole
solution up to 60 gallons, which is
strained before using.-Guy E. Mitch

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Clear out the old dry wood from your
gooseberry, currant, raspberry and
other kindred bushes.
The peach and the plum are so closely
related to each other that they can be
grated on each other.
Prune the grape severely at the start,
and at three years old, a few punches OF
grapes can be allowed to mature.
While the best land is none too good
to raise Strawberries, yet land that will
grow good corr and potatoes will do.
Grapes may be grown from the seeds,
but the fruit of seedlings isuot like that

OF course, we'd met the winter through
3. AZ balls and teas, but then, you know
{ thought the world of Ned Carew,
Who'd been devoted. and knew
Tom was in love with Kittie Snow.
So Tuesday night, at Kittie's ball.
When they announced she was engaged
To Ned Carew, I thought I'd fall
Or faint-I really can't recall
When I've been SO stunned or enraged!
She's such a schemlng girl-and then,
Oh, lots of times, I've heard Ned say
He thought she looked so silly when
She tried to flirt. Oh, dear, some men
Can't keep the same mind through tht'
days
Well, Wednesday came, and as twas Lent,
And I was blue about 1t all,
I thought the day would be best spent
In some good work, and so went
To take COVERS 20 the hospital.
And passing by, who should see
AS at their door, with all my flowers
I stood, but Tom! He said that he
Thought time best spent in charity
I said those were my happiest hours-
Well, that began 1t. Then we found
Our tastes alike in everything.
We think respects the proper ground
For love. and ours Is strong and SOUND

the first cost of the entire outfit was

hire his spraying outfit. In so days of

kGstraIia's nest Dreadful Cririe.
The most dreadful crime in Aus,
tralian history-the triple murder and
outrage at Gatton-still continues to
battle the skill of the Queensland po-
lice. That crime, by its scale, COM
plctencss ard horror, has, according
to the Australian Review of Reviews,
powerfully affected the Australian
imagination. and the desire for the dis
covery and punishment of its authors
has almost the intensity of passion
throughout the colonies. But at pres
ent it seems probable that the Cation
murders will be memorable, not merely
for their savage cruelty, but for the
utter breakdown of the police to dis
cover the perpetrators of the crime.

Breaking and Entering.

This city was the scene of several at
tempts at breaking and entering on Satur-
day night, two OF which were successful in
small way. The district visited by the
burglars was Bailey avenue and vicinity
and the belief is general that the work was
that of tramps rather than of professionals.
access was easy and confined their work to
the rooms on the ground floor. Essex
Junction was similarly visited on Friday,
and Northfeld on Sunday, night, the par
ties apparently making tour along the
main line of the railway.
The houses entered in Montpelier were
those of 3. B. Bailey, j. " Brooks, Robert
Whelan, A. w. Ferrin, Henry Holt, s. S..
Ballard, and an attempt made to enter that
Of j. G. Houghton, but as the windows
were securely fastened it was given up.
The thieves were apparently after money
only, as they carried away no silver ware or
other valuabes. They secured ten dollars
in money at B. B. Bailey's and Henry
Holt's. They ignored eatables. In enter
ing the house of Robert Whelan they had
to remove pan Of doughnuts, some pies
and cake and pitcher Of milk in order to
get in through the pantry window, and
these articles were found just outside on
Sunday morning nicely covered over and
undisturbed. Mr.. Whelans family sleep
on the second floor. Had the thieves been
professionals they would have visited the
sitting room where George Whelau had
left valuable gold watch on the table and
$40 in money in his coat pocket on the sofa.
Alderman Whelan also had S125 in his
pockets

An adjourned meeting of the State COM

week Tuesday, when definite action will be
taken on the various suggestions made to-
day.
The State committee to make arrange
ments for the reception OF Admiral Dewey
at Montpelier, got into working trim Mon
day afternoon, and at the adjourned meet
ing, to be held at Montpelier Tuesday,
August %, will be ready to go ahead and
arrange. an official programme, that the
people OF the State may know just what to
expect
just before adjournment Monday after
noon, Governor Smith, W. B. Wall and l..
Bart Cross we're appointed a committee on
transportation, and Governor Smith and
Olin Merrill, the treasurer, were named as
a finance committee.
All bands in the State are at liberty to
come to Montpelier at their own expense,
but It was voted to pay the travelling and
hotel expenses only OF the bands that shall
hereafter be chosen, by committee ap-
pointed for the purpose, to take part in the
parade, The number and names Of the
bands selected will be announced at the
meeting next week.
An amusing incident occurred in connec-
ton with the meeting held Monday after
noon. In very courteous and friendly
manner Governor Smith suggested to the
newspaper men present that they shall not
make public any immature plans that were
under discussion, and that were likely to
be radically changed or abandoned alto
gether. To this suggestion by the Govern
or, Col. Hooker, the chairman, replied,
ooh, the reporters are all right. When
was member OF the National Committee
1 used to let the reporters read my letters
before L read them myself, and they never
abused the privilege"
The reporters present readily adopted
Governor Smiths suggestion, and from the
various plans suggested made public only
those that will undoubtedly be carried
out.
