INSECTS TO IMPROVE FIGS.
They Have Been Introduced in CaIifor-
 mia After Many Trials.

The larger part of our fig supply comes from Asia Minor, the Spanish peninsula and the south of France, Those of Asiatic Turkey are considered the best. Certain insects of the genera blastophaga and sycophaga which fre- eaent the wild fig enter the minute ori- fee of the receptacle, apparently to de- poslt their eggs, conveying thus the pollen more completely to the stigmas. thus insHfing the fertilization and con- sequent ripening of the fruit. By some the nature of the process has been questioned and the better maturation of the fruit attributed merely to the stimulus given by the puncture of tho insect, as in the case of the apple. but the arrangement of the unisexual flow- CTS in the figs renders the first theory most probable. A year ago the depart- ment of agriculture began a series of experiments on the introduction of the insect which fertilizes the Smyrna fig: an agent was sent to Europe to obtain cuttings of all varieties of the wild fig and to send over the fruit containing the live insect. By good fortune some of the insects succeeded in penetrating ;ne closed flowers of the Capri figs and laid their eggs and really established themselves in California. It is now be- iieved that the insects will continue to breed and that in the near future a fig will be placed upon the market which possesses the same superior flavor as that which has given the imported Smy rna fig it's present popularity.

 for Bacteria.
 ..1 he broom ordinarily is fertile breeding place for bacteria, and should merit the interest and earnest consid- eration, not only of all good house. wives, but of everyone who is interest ed in the health of the family, and the maintenance of the strictest hygienie and sanitary conditions. 1t is not generally known that the ordinary broom is the habitation or breeding place of great colonies of bacteria and ansanitary germs. La grippe, small pox and scarlet fever have been traced directly to this household article-the ordinary broom" It is an interesting coincidence that almost simultaneous ly with this article a Georgia inventor announces that he has invented san- itary broom. This broom is furnished with what it's inventor calls retain er,' which contains antiseptics. The retainer is incorporated in the part of the broom nearest the handle and is shaped somewhat like an incandesceat light bulb; it is concealed by the broom straws and is held in place by transverse rows of stitching. The penetration of the retainer opens up numerous small outlets, which, acting together with the meshes, allow gradual emulation of the antiseptie influence in their descent along and dissemination through the straws, in- suring by the acts of sweeping ths thorough disinfection of carpets, and perfect deodorizer of apartments.-- Scientific American.

BIG FIRE IN CHICAGO.
Three Biz Misunderstanding 1nsttta-

z n
Chicago. Oct 17.-With flame and
smoke sweeping thru the topmost
stories OF the oatmeal warehouse OF the
American Cereal Company, Dearborn
and Sixteenth streets. last night, and q
host of fire,nen vainly struggling to
reach the seat Of the fire, q great glow
burst forth half square distant and
the Featherstone factory OF the Ameri-
can Bicycle Company was at the mercy
of the flames. too.
Before a single lead OF hose could be
turned from the walls Of the oatmeal
warehouse the fire had broken thru the
roof of the bicycle factory. and was
roaring out of the windows on the
fourth and fifth floors.
Across the road. in Clark street. stood
the warehouses OF the Dickinson Seed
Company and little farther along was
the store room Of the Craig OIL Com
pany. Clark street. and Sixteenth
street as well, were chicken with firemen
and fire wagons. but the flames rolled
high above them, and reached out most
dangerously close to the walls Of the
other two threatened plants.
Chief Swenie led an army of firemerl
against the bicycle works, and Assist
ant Chief Musham sought to save the
seed warehouse and the oil store rooms.
And all the time, Just over the way,
the upper windows OF the oatmeal ele-
vator sent out great columns Of fire and
smoke with the always attendant dan-
ger of mill dust explosion. 1t was a
trying struggle. but the firenen fought
hardly, and after working for almost
three hours subdued both fires with a
loss not exceeding $4,000.
The oatmeal warehouse addoins the
mills Of the company on the west. The
elevator. with Its store of 50, 600 bushels
of oats. towers high above the mill
room. Back OF the elevator lies the kiln
rooms and there the fire started. Prob
ably it had been, smouldering all thru
the afternoon. but it was not until $50
O'clock that lit burst forth

tered thru the departments of the mills

caught glimpse OF the IRE.

STEAMSHIP LINES UNITE
ATLANTIC TRANSPORT AND LEY
LAND COMPANIES AMALGAMATED.
Have a Large Fleet and Are Building
Eighteen Steamers-Details of
the Deal-Other Marine.

NEW YORK, March 4.-Bernard III. Bak-
er. president of the Atlantic transport
steamship line, returned on the Lucania to-
day. He confirmed the report of the con-
soldation of the Leyland line and the At
lantic transport line and gave some de-
tails of the deal. While abroad Mr.. Baker
arranged the details of the consolidation
with Frederick Leyland & Co., and the
first meeting of those interested will be
held in England about April Is The con-
solidation will take effect May /. Mr.. Bak-
er said: 1.-The Leyland and the Atlantic
transport lines have amalgamated. Neither
line has been absorbed. The consolidation
takes in all the lines of both companies,
and the capital of the new concern will be
SIS, 100000. The name of the new company
has not been decided upon"
In reply to a question as to the extent
of his holdings in the company Mr.. Baker
said that while he would not make pub
lie the amount he had invested, he said
that he is the largest individual stock
holder. 1.-THE meeting of the new company
will be held about the middle of April, and
many more details will be settled on them"
continued Mr.. Baker. 1.-The line will be a
very big one and the service of the Atlantic
transport from New York, Baltimore and
Philadelphia will be continued, as will be
the sailing of the Leyland line between
Boston, Montreal and Portland, Me.
1.-The Leyland line has at present under
way five big boats, and our company is
building thirteen. We will have a very big
fleet, and in addition the ten ships belong
ing to the combination which are in the
service of the English government will be
put on again as soon as they are released.
The new boats have accommodation for
both freight and passengers and are of
more than 10000 tons each. The corpora
ton will be English, as the vessels are un-
der that flag. However, many of the stock
holders are Americans. We will have three
vessels week from New York. Two will
go to London and one to Liverpool. I will
be the head of the line here and the head
quarters will be In New York"
