Roman Archifecture.

In architecture the Romans initiated
the Greeks and initiated them without
appreciating the simplicity of gram
deur. They introduced circles and seq
ments of circles in place of the simpiA
restful lines coursing horizontally
around the building. They raised col
umns which supported nothing simply
for the sake of ornament; the dome be-
hind the pediment took away Its sig
niflcance and removed from it the idea
of pressure; they adopted the senior
cular arch, which broke the entabla-
ture and the idea of solidity and thus
destroyed the fundamental idea of the
Greek simplicity without substituting
any of their own.
When the Roman style was removed
to Constantinople, the ByZantines rev.
eled in arch and cupola, but without
discerning the real object of the arch.
The circular arch distributes the weight
of the wall They refused 1t the prop
er office, made 1t an ornament and con-
cealed the real support of the weight;
consequently in the Byzantine style
we have the domes and cupolas repre-
senting the weight with no visible sup
port and arches multiplied at caprice
with nothing TO apprehension Tab

Fighting Insects and Pests.

The fruit grower today must be a sue
cessful fighter oil ms cts and all pests Of
trees and vines. and unless he carries the
war on internationally he cannot expect
profit. Ii Is necessary to put aside Ger
tain amount of money from profits every
year to be expended on poisonous sprays
tor the following season. One must have
a pretty fair knowledge Of the nature OF
the different insects most destructive to
his particular fruits. This does not mean
a scientific education.
There are not more than half dozen
insects that threaten most fruits, and these
can be studied so that one will know just
when to look for their appearance, and
how best to prevent their destructive work.
To many wait until it is too late to avert
losses. The first appearance OF the insects
is generally anything but alarming, and
one is inclined 10 believe that they will
not amount to much; but unfortunately
their multiplication is very rapid. and be-
fore the fruit grower realizes it his crops
are nearly ruined Sometimes the danger
is even more insidious than this.
The insects do not amount to much, so
far as destroying the crops this year is
concerned. but they belong to the species
which come into the world to establish
enormous broods for the next season.
Millions of cocoons larvae or eggs are
quietly deposited on the ground, on leaves
or twigs, and under stones and trees. BY
the following season the army of young
ones which appear cannot be checked.
They overwhelm everything. 1t is impos
sible to keep them down with the mosi APP
proved methods
The mistake was made when they were
allowed to lay their Eggs and Larvae. This
work must be prevent SO far as possible.
1t is not probable that in any season we
will utterly destroy all insects in lorchard
or garden. but by persistent spraying we
can keep down their numbers so they will
not prove distinct menace. If we sue
coed in doing this we have accomplished
much. Scientific spraying and systematic
hunting for the insects and their larve will
in time be rewarded. Larger and better
fruits can be raised. and the profits will be
correspondingly larger. Fruit raising
without insect fighting is impossible.

Sw0ppin' Horses.

In case at Syracuse horse trader tes-

too harsh word for known accomplish
ment of many horse traders. Even if "ly-
ing" be the right word, the casuist may
hesitate to affirm that lying by known

with it. Whether in Arabia or at the Bulls
Head. horse dealers are poets, playing at
game Of romantic establishment and tx
aggeraton. They embroider beautifully ;
and he that is deceived thereby is not wise.
They must not be regarded as mere mer-
chants. A tapestry is not an oil-cloth.

charm in the horse business. We have

may be hung to the ladder or to some
convenient branch of the tree.
From the picking pail the fruit goes
into orchard" or picking" boxes that
hold about forty pounds. These boxes
are strongly made and last for several
years If properly used. They have
cleats across the ends which allow ven.
tilation when the boxes are stacked
one above another.
In picking apples, for instance, GER
tain individuals who have judgment
are detailed to sort the apples as fast
as the pickers bring them in their
pails LEAKING the full pail and taking
an empty one. Usually the apples are
sorted into three lots.
All sound apples, regardless of size,
are put into boxes very carefully, the
orders being emphasized frequently to
"handle them like eggs" Wormy ap.
Piles are put in other boxes for imme-
date sale or consumption. The poor
est of the wormy apples and those
that are bruised or specked go into
still other boxes and are used for dry
ing, making cider, etc.
As fast as filled the boxes are
stacked in the shade and as soon as
convenient are hauled to the drier or
warehouse, where they are again
stacked until used. The apples as well
as other fruit are hauled from the
orchard on low wheeled trucks, with
springs under the platform. These
trucks have tires six inches wide and
are used for all kinds of hauling on
the ranch.

off almonds shows how these nuts are
harvested. The canvas under the tree

The Orang OutanE.

1t is most interesting sight to
watch an orang outang make its way
through the jungle. 1t walks slowly
along the larger branches In a semi
erect attitude, this being apparently
caused by the length of it's arms and
the shortness of its legs. 1t invariably
selects those branches which intermln-
gle with those of neighboring tree,
on approaching which it stretches out
its long arms and, grasping the bougbs
opposite, seems first to shake them as
If to test their strength, and then de-
liberately swings itself across TO the
next branch, which 1t walks along as
before. 1t does not jump or spring as
monkeys usually do. and never appears
to hurry itself unless some real danger
presents. Yet in spite of its apparently
slow movements 1t gets along far
quicker than a person running through
the forest beneath.
