He said that he would not give his

would spoil all his plans, not even his

he said that reports published in the

said that a reporter WAC told that d
secondary class OF workmen was en-

sPEcKLED CIGAR WRAPPERS.
How the Spots Are Produced on Real
Sumatra Leaf.

Some of the tobacco imported from
Sumatra for making the wrappers of
cigars has curiously speckled appear
ance. In the minds of certain buyers
this marking is evidence that the cigar
has Sumatra wrapper. Such is not
always the case, for the artful manu-
facturer has learned how to spot
American tobacco artificially, and he
occasionally does so IN so clever a
manner that the uninitiated customer
never suspects the trick.
Sumatra is a Dutch possession, and
the spotting of the tobacco raised in
that island has been made the subject
of investigation by Prof. Beyerinck of
the Amsterdam Academy of Sciences.
ThiS learned man presented to the
academy a few weeks ago a paper in
which he set forth the results of his
inquiry. He described a Giving, fluid
contagon," which he declares is the
cause of the disease. This disorder, also
known as the mosaic disease of tobacco
leaves, may be inoculated into healthy
plants by injecting into the stem,
near bud, sap pressed from infected
plants The active virus passes COM
pletely through the pores of very denae
porcelain, and can even penetrate "A
agar by diffusion; therefore, it cannot
be q "contagium tlXum" IN the usual
sense, but 1t must be fluid. Out Of the
tobacco plant il cannot be made to
multiply; but in the dividing tissues
OF the leaf rudiments and the meris-
TENS Of the buds it multiplies freely
and over great extent. A very small
drop Of The porcelain filtrate can rem
der all the leaves of the infected plant
entirely covered with spots, and the
sap Of these leaves would be sufficient

Mr. Haywood did not state that those
roads had been built especially as mill
