Atlanta, Jan. 17.-Cashier Battle NJ
Davis left the Office of the Electric Light
Company yesterday in the electric build
ing, corner Broad and Marietta streets,
to go out to the plant of the company on
Thurmond street. His business was to pay
off some thirty or forty men employed at
the plant, and he carried under his arm
a package of small envelopes, each con-
tanning the amount due the employees,
whose name appeared on the ouside.
As he neared the plant he sought TO
save time by taking a near cut on the
railroad trestle that crosses a lake from
which the plant draws its water supply,
and Davis became dizzy and toppled over
into the lake. Some men working in the
plant hear the young mans struggles, and
running out on the trestle threw to him a
heavy wire which lay loosely on the tres
tie way. Mr.. Davis grasped, but it prov
ed to be a live wire and he was consid-
erably shocked. a goodly portion of the
money was silver and went to the bottom
and was not recovered.

DEATH TO SAN JOSE SCALE.
A Man Who Claims to Have a Sure
Thing visits Georgia

Atlanta, Jan. T.-Charles n. Pratt of
Rochester, N. Y, having heard of the con-
domination of the 10000 fruit trees in the
orchards of Messrs. D. c. and G. NJ. Ba-
con, in South Georgia, has come all the
way to Georgia to have State Entomolo-
gist Scott test what he claims is a sure
exterminator of the bug kingdom, and es-
pecially the San Jose scale.
Mr.. Pratt, at the request of Prof. Scott,
will inspect the orchards of Hon. Dudley
NJ. Hughes and others in Twiggs county
this week and will meet with the State
Board of Entomology and the Georgia
fruit growers in Macon next Tuesday,
where his method will be officially dis
cussed.
If Mr.. Pratt can make his claims good,
he will prove a benefactor to the Georgia
fruit growers. The device he uses is what
he calls the expansive tree protector,
guaranteed to make extinct every species
of bug, from the tent caterpillar and cank-
er worm to the tussock and gypsy moth,
which for the past several years have
made the life of fruit growers miserable
by making such a devastating havoc with
the fruit Mr.. Pratt says:
THE device consists of a felt band es-
pecially prepared and saturated with a
SubSLdHCe WHICH IS absolutely nOXlOuS
and even repellant to insects worms and
bugs of every description. This pad is fas-
tened to a wire expansive spring by
means of which it is fastened around
trees and is adjustable to any and all
trees, permitting them to grow without
injuring the bark. To the pad and spring
is attached an apron made of galvanized
iron or other metal, the underside of
which is covered with a sticky substance
inoculated with an insecticide that is sure
death to all creeping things that infest a
tree, so that if any insects or form of
bug should attempt TO pass the band a
dead line is met, and it is absolutely i'm
possible for anything to pass it abd reach
the fruit and foliage"
He also claims for it that it will retain
it's potency for months without resxtura-
ton or any attention whatever. Prof.
Scott and Mr. Pratt went to Marietta
yesterday and made some tests in Judge
Gobers orchard.
