Surgery Versus Blight.

After experiencing much damage to
his fruit and shade trees, caused by
species of blight, E. j. Mentzer wrote
to the botanistS of the agricultural de-
partment of Purdue University for a
remedy. The scientist sent him the
instructions to saw off the branches
from six inches to foot below the ef-
fected part. which Mr.. Mentzer fol-
lowed with excellent results. Bart

The export of a few millions of gold

WASTEFULNESS IN MEAT.
Weight for Weight Vegetables More
Nutritious Than Flesh.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
OF the many arguments put forth in
favor Of a vegetation diet especially in
warm weather and in seasons when the
beef trust is In the ascendant, none Is
is the economy understood at first glance.
If it is true that, weight for weight,
cereals and vegetables, eggs and cheese
are more nutritious than meat, it is still
TO be considered how little meat one
has for his money. The person who buys
a pound of mutton chops at "a cents q
pound. or a pound Of beef for roasting
al 80 cents does not buy pure nourishment
by any means. Unless he can eat fat
which not many people relish, he will not
extract from his pound Of chops more than
third Of pound Of meat. This brings
his chop up to rate Of Y cents a pound.
The beef is perhaps more generous, yet
when the tendon. the fat and the bone for
which he has paid full price, have been ex-
tracted, the edible portion Of his purchase
has probably lost half: hence, he has
paid for beef at the rate Of 60 cents a
pound.
Vegetables are almost wholly food. The
skin OF the potato Is nothing to it's SUBJ
stance: there Is no waste to the turnip
beet, radish, parsnip. carrot, dandelion,
lettuce. spinach. cabbage. egg plant, Gu
cumber, tomato. onion. caulifiower. at least
none that amounts to anything; peas and
beans lose their shells. and corn it's cob
yet the waste Is less than In meat; there
is not as much substance in asparagus and
artichoke. hence they may be regarded
more as Injuries: but In nearly all fruits,
nuts and grains We have nutriment in a
concentrated form. The amount Of water
Is hardly to be considered as waste or. II
It Is, meat is equally q waste for the same
reason.

FIRE ENGINES TO GO.
Plan of High Pressure in Water Mains
and Sprinklers in Buildings.


From the Chicago Post.
Fire engines, with their glistening bear

is the opinion of Fire Marshal Musham.
The chief declares the successful operati
of the plan of Alderman Honore Palmer
for pumping station to force water at
high pressure into a gridiron Of strong
pipes under downtown streets will revolu-
tionize the science of fire fighting in the
business district, and will transform the
six engine companies into twenty-four hose
companies, with an immense annual saving
in fire losses and insurance rates.
The plan is to provide 40 to 200 pounds Of
pressure to the new system of pipes which
Every building devoted to mercantile pur-
poses in the downtown district will in a
short time after the pumping station Is
erected be equipped with standpipes, to
which will be attached sprinkers for each
floor One pipe leading to each floor is ad-
vocated by Marshal Musham. 1t would be
a simple matter for the Waterman, seeing
a fire on the top story, to turn on the valve
In the basement which controls the top
floor pipe and then give the alarm. While
the firemen were coming the fire would be
in most cases already out.
Il expect to live to the day when
there will be no more fire engines in Chi
cago," Chief Musham said. IAN big cities
are coming to it. High pressure will do the
work better. Insurance rates will be low

DEATH FROM VOLCANOES
Probability That Victims We're Suf-
located by Sulphurous Gas


From the Philadelphia Medical Journal,
An interesting question that arises in the
medical mind, on reading the stories of
the st. Pierre disaster, is as to the exact
cause Of death. The newspaper accounts
suggest direct burning or overwhelming
with the volcanic dust. This material is
commonly called ashes, but 1t is not COR
rectly described by that word; it is usually
rocky matter finely divided by explosive
action.
"A considerable proportion Of the deaths
might be due to suffooation by noxious
gases. Among such would be carbon diox-
ide, commonly called carbonic acid. and
suiphurous acid. The former is not active
ly poisonous and would not be the cause Of
death unless present in considerable pro-
portion, but the latter gas is highly irres-
plraDle and even small proportion will
render air so irritating that suffocation
must ensue. We have but mcager reports
from those who have been near enough to
great volcanic eruptions to appreciate the
actual conditions One OF. the most famous
eruptions in history, that ofSMt. Vesuvius,
IN AID. -. has been described by the
younger tl1ny from notes left by his uncle,
who lost his life in anAeffort to rescue a
friend. The narrator stat6s4hat the death
of the elder Pliny was due to fumes of
sulphur Even making allowance sor the
iinpeiA LEU. iueHeincHtions8o1 chemical sub

assume that by such an expression sui

was undoubtedly familiar indeed, 1t is

In some of the recent reports from Marti-
n1que specific mention tg made of the same
sunocating influences, The steamship Rod

ments and lost some Of Der crew by the in
halation Of sulphurous cases.
1t may be well to note that, when disas-
tiers by fire occur in closed spaces. suffoca-
tion by carbon monoxide and smoke is like
ly to occur. In this way persons in the
gallery OF a theater may be killed without
direct injury by fire or by falling timbers.
1t is probable that instances of this kind
have given rise to the notion OF death by
swallowing fire. widespread popular be-

How Soon Beheading Kills.
from the London News.

From the London News.
Considerable. attention has lately been
given in France to the old question as to
whether death follows instantaneously
upon decapitation. A French physician as
serts that it does not. In his opinion the
blood which flows after decapitation comes
from the large vessels of the neck, and
there is hardly any call upon the circula-
ton of the Uranium. The brain remains
intact, nourishing itself with the blood re-
tanned by the pressure of the air. When
the blood remaining in the head at the mo-
ment- of separation is exhausted there
commences state. not Of death. but Of
inertia, which lasts up to the moment
when the organ. no longer fed. ceases to
exist, 1t Is estimated by the physician in
question that the brain finds nourishment
