The Troublesome Moth.

The Mediterranean moth is giving 4
good deal Of trouble in the flour mills
of Wisconsin and Minnesota. 1t thrives
in Touring mills, evidently feeding on
-four dust, and multiplies at an enor-
nous rate. Thus far no effective way
has been found to get rid of it. The i'm
mature worms play havoc with the ma
chinery plant, weaving webs in the ma
chinery, in the dust collectors and va
rious shoots of the mill and blocking
operations. In one of the mills Of Su-
perior the moths got into some of the
wooden shoots, and finally it was nee
essary to take out the shoots and burn
them. The moths are transferred from
mill to mill, it is believed, through the
interchange of sacks and bags. Duluth
millers are greatly exercised for fear
that the moth may in some way get en-
trance into their plants. Indeed, all the
millers in the northwestern states will
guard vigilantly against such calam-
ity,

GUNS MADE IN GERMANY

The British war office really does not
seem to be satisfactory to any one ex-
cept the enemies Of England. The most
recent groan which GOES up from tic
British ''ratepayer" Is over the hurried
purchase of guns in Germany for use
In the South African war. Germany
proclaimed a strict neutrality, and
England was warned that she must
not violate it. To buy guns from Herr
Krupp would be fraught with so much
danger of discovery that England was
persuaded TO use "middleman" and
well known firm. They did so, and the
guns got safely out of the German en-
pire and into the British empire in
spite of the vigilance Of the officials Of
William the Only.
But now the "ratepayer' Is bowling
that he has not got his moneys
WORTH" that the guns he bought are of
inferior make, and, In short, he Is real
ly beginning to believe that Germany
"bunkoed' the mistress of the seas"
AS the guns were not used in actual
warfare after all and as they have not
been condemned by the war office, 1t
would seem that the firm which sold
them to the British would have q pref
ty good ground for an action of libel
against the critics which are now hys-
terically condemning them offhand.-

California Navel Lemons.

The acme of perfection in the orange

The Oyerworked Telephone.

One of our steam contemporaries
calls attention to the fact that an
American manufacturer Of rotary
pumps advertises as follows: Our
pumps at work about three miles out
in the country are started and stopped
from the company's Office, their opera
ton being ascertained by telephone.
This goes on for days without any
person going near them" There could
Of course be other electrical methods of
observing the fact that the motors and
pumps were at work, but the audible
indication of the telephone is all right.
There seems to be no end of the du-
ties that can be thrown on the tele-
phone, and each latest suggests new
one. For example, in mill towns it is
now found that calling people up in the
morning by telephone beats the alarm
clock and the perambulating watch
man all hollow. This idea has recently
received an extension in a western city
where patient tired of depending on
careless nurses now has them notified
by telephone every time the hour comes
around for the administration Of his
dose. 1t is said the plan works to per-
fection.-El Electrical World and Engi-

Cities Struggle For Supremacy.

The census of 1900 shows that only.
two classes of American cities have
made especial progress-those on the
inland lakes and those possessing great
and diversified manufacturing enter
prises. The river cities are growing
more slowly; the coast cities south Of
Norfolk are making little progress, but
between that point and Portland, Me-,
they are attracting large populations.
The railroad cities, especially those Of
comparatively high attitudes, are also
making considerable progress. The
United States has more cities Of 1,000,-
600 population and upward than any
ether nation in the world. 1t has three
cities of over 1000, 900, New York, Chi
cago and Philadelphia. Our growth in
wealth is equally rapid.-Success.
