the tree where they hung unit! pulled
down by the heavy SHOWS Of few
weeks ago. The plum tree ripened its
fruit and shows no change except by
close examination when the twigs. as
in the case of the peach and cherry
trees, are found to be dead and brittle.
Also on close examination all the
trees have the appearance Of having
been busted with wood ashes, and 1t
is only with a magnifying glass that
the true condition of the trees Is re-
vealed.
Some days ago became convinced
that my trees are infested with as.
pidiotus perniciOus, or the San jose or
pernicious scale, though had been re-
peatedly assured that the parasite had
not made it's appearance in northern
Ohio. It Is easily detected with a
small glass Of moderate power and
has the appearance Of minute circu-
lar, slightly convex gray scale with a
dark spot near the center. 1t Is not
to be confounded with the oyster shell
louse which is larger and somewhat
resembles the oyster shell in shape
though proportionately longer and has
a we'll defined head. Neither Is 1t like
the scurfy bark louise, also found In
Ohio, which is larger. The male OF
this pest Is oblong and the female Is
pear-shaped and each has well de-
fined head. The peach lecanium Is
still larger and darker and more con-
vex. tLk
APPEARED 80 YEARS AGO.
The San Jose scale made its first ap-
pearance in this country near San
Jose, Cal, nearly 80 years ago, at a
time when many trees were being i'm
ported from all parts of the world.
II may have come from Australia.
since 1t Is known to occur there.
though rarely, or 1t may have come
from some Pacific island or possibly
even from China. 1t is now found
in nearly all parts Of the United
States and is very destructive, feeding
on a great variety of trees. In the
east it's principal damage has been
done to pear and peach. 1t infests
however. apple, plum, cherry, persim-
mon, and current, also Japanese
ounce, and has been found on the
elm.
To confirm my suspicion that the
San Jose scale has made its way to
Akron i recently sent some speci-
men twigs and strips Of bark from
several varieties of trees to Charles
10. Thornc, director of the Ohio agri-
cultural experiment station at Woos-
ter. Following is letter In answer
from w. j. Green, horticulturist OF
the station.
Suspicious CONFIRMED.
Wooster, Ohio, March ~, 1902.
CDR. Ira A. Priest, Akron, Ohio:
Dear Sir:--The twigs which you
sent were all infested with the San
Jose scale. Judging from the twigs
sent the infestation seems to be very
bad, but 1t is question whether it is
necessary to destroy the trees or not
II you can possibly save the trees
would advise doing so, because II you
plant new trees they will soon become
infested from your uoighbors' trees
which no doubt are infested also

shannon's Horse Believed to Have
@a Been Found.

shannon's Horse Believed to Have
Been Found.
From Thursdays Daily Gazette.
This forenoon Under Sheriff Sayles
received information which may pos
sibly lead to the discovery OF n
whereabouts Of Andrew Shannon, the
young Musselshell nan for whom
search has been making for a couple
of weeks or more.
He was informed by a man that q
horse carrying a saddle, but no rider
had been seen on the Burlington right
of way near Balantine, the first sta
ton south of Huntley. From the de-
scription of the, animal given him Mr..
Sayles thought it to be the horse rid
den by Shannon when he left his
home. To satisfy himself and if pos
sible learn something concerning the
missing man, Mr.. Sayles left for the
place indicated and will return this
evening.
/ It is feared that something may have
occurred to Shannon and that he has
met with some accident which result
| ed in his death or that he is so bad
ly injured that he was no, longer able
to ride and allowed his horse to stray
off.

to- reach the next stage station, as
he was trying to get out of the coun-
try. The mans breath told Mr.. Bou-
ton that the money asked for would
not be expended for stage riding, SO
in reply he wrote an offer to furnisk
the fellow with supper and 9 nights
lodging and breakfast the following
morning. This was Indignantly re-
iected and the wanderer left the Of
flee. In an. hour or so he returned,
this time giving unmistakable evi.
dence of having met with some, n
who had helped him to alleviate his
thirst. Again he motioned for pencil
and paper, which were given him,
but his hand had lost it's power of
obeying the mind and the marks he
made on the paper were absolutely UNI
decipherable. After several desperate
attempts to make himself understood
in pantomime, he finally gave a lurch
toward Tom and blurted out, 'Your
proposition IS '%cepted.' But Mr.. Bou-
ton was not then dealing in options.
Notwithstanding that the lodge
room was almost a r. enough to
bake bread last night, the Elks got
together and under the tutelage of
ksome of the old stays a number Of
fawns were indicted into the myster-
les of the order. and led to- the pas
lures where the grass is ever green
and the waters run still and cool. At
least that is what they were told
would be done to them, but from the
remarks some of them were heard to
make this morning it was very evil
dent that they felt as though they had
! been marched to the summit Of Pelee
and then swung over into the crater
and allowed to hang there. The only
one who appeared have really enjoy
ed himself was the one who was put
Through first. He declares that II
was worth all the suffering and tor
ture to watch the ones who came at
ter him and is satisfied that he got
his moneys worth. How the Others
feel is not known, but they wear
studious air and have a far away looi
in their eyes.

FIREWORKS.
Peculia, Phenomenon Observed in the
Heavens Monday Night.

6edvSHS WoHoay Nl9nb.
<ToRThursday's Daily Gazette.
An interesting and peculiar phe-
nomenon of nature vas Witnessed by
several persons in this city last Mon
day evening. OFF to- the northwest and
apparently resting on top Of the range
of bluffs forming n side of the val
ley a huge column of light made it's
appearance and lasted for a consider
able time To some it presented the
appearance of a continued flash from
a powerful s%earchlight pointed towarti
the skies, while others said it looked
more like a ball of fire.
Now comes word from Miles City
that the same phenomenon was OBJ
served down that way. To the people
of Tongue river valley. it appeared to
be resting on top of a hill to the north
and several mistook it fer a fire. One
man declares from his place it looked
as if it was the reflection of a fire
that was destroying Miles and that it
lasted fully an hour. Another believ-
ed it to be made by ar electric light
ard wondered how it came to be in
that locality, as the nearest lights OF
that kind were SO far distant as to
make it impossible that they should be
seen from where he vas
The fact that the samesdght should
be seen in this locality would make
it appear as though the phenomenon
was nothing more than q northern
light CIR aurora borealis Of more than
ordinary intensity. Whatever it may
have been it certainly was interest
ing and remarkable.

A NEW INDUSTRY.
Butte Parties to Operate stucco Plant
In Carbon.

In Carbon.
A deal OF considerable magnitude
has been going on for some little time
past for the purchase of all the inter-
ests owned by H. j.. Smith of Bridger.
in and to the immense deposits of
stucco in Bridger canyon, the parties
negotiating for the same, being cap
italists of Butte, says the Carbon
County Chronicle. On Monday a tel
egram was received by Mr.. Smith.
notifying him that there was no doubt
but what the deal would be consul
mated.
The acquiring of these stucco de-
posits by Butte capitalists will mean
a greater development of these fields
and the output thereof will be at once
trebled. Mr.. Smith owns 300 acres
Of these lands, which are yet unsur-
veyed, but upon which there has been
not a little development during the
last few years. A mill has been built
upon the property and machinery put
in for converting the product into
marketable shape. At present it is
capable CT turning out a carload of
the product each day, by working
both day and night. To acquire patent
to the lands S. per acre must be paid
to the government.
The Butte parties intend to incor-
porate as a stock company with a
capitalization of $4,000. When the
deal is consummated Mr.. Smith will
receive about $4,000 for his holdings.
The balance of the capital stock will
be expended in improving the proper
ty, charging the mill and adding ad
ditional machinery to the plant. Al
least Is men will be given employment
at the works when the new company
makes the improvements nov in con
temptation.

NEW SHORT STORIES
Enlightened self Interest.

stghtencd sell Interest.
 Professor Powers of Cornell does not favor the killing of the weaker of man. kind in order to improve succeeding generations. though the newspapers quoted him last year to that effect. He has many radical ideas, however. on sociological subjects, and one of these is that the man of the present day must learn to fit in." to lose his indi- vidual identity and become a cog or a lever in some huge industrial machine. With those persons who lack perspec- tive he has little patience.
 Last spring in one of his lectures at Cornell on .'The Modern Regime" Pro- lessor Powers told of such a person, whom he met in western town. He got of at the station in one end of the town and learned that the station of the other railroad on which he was to continue his journey that morning was. for no apparent reason, at exactly the other end of the village, two miles distant He took the bus and while waiting Tor his train at the end or his ride ged in conversation with the bus driver. who was also the bus own CT. Professor Powers asked him if he did not think that some day the two railroads would consolidate or at least use the same station. The idea had evidently never occurred to the village man, for, holding up both hands. he as sured his questi0ner, with decided em- phasis. that that would never come about. Why" he said. what would become of my stage line?"
