PoIsoNs FOR INSECTS.
Pure Paris Green or Green Arsenoid.
Applied in Liquid Form, Is
Always Effective,

1t will soon be time again for using
po1sons to kill all sorts of injurious in
sects. The first application l have to
make usually is on my fruit trees, to
prevent the ravages of bud worm,
clgar-case bearer, ETC., and to be effect.
i've the applications must be made very
early, or as soon as the buds begin to
open, and repeated soon after. Paris
green has for many years been my
main reliance as an insect poison. II
pure and properly used it is reliable
enough and harmless to the foliage. L
have always preferred to apply it In
liquid form. and if used In this way the
addition of lime surely prevents In
jury to the foliage, liable to occur
through the action of the free acid in
the Paris green. For two or three
years, however. have used green
arsenoId In place of Paris green. and
always had very satisfactory results
from it. This newer poison is lighter
than Paris green and stays in suspen-
sion In water, requiring far less "con-
slant stirring" and besides is much
cheaper. So long as can get such re-
suits from arsenoid I shall use 1t In
preference to Paris green But where
the latter (being more available In
most out-of-the-way places) has to be
used there Is need Of caution In order
to get the pure article. Some Of the
samples of Paris green on the market
are reported to be badly adulterated,
and II this Is the case best results can
not be expected from their application.
and much loss of labor may be caused
thereby. Be sure you get genuine
article. You may make your purchase
now and testit. In New York state the
Geneva experiment station, 1 believe,
offers to test any sample sent to it.
free of charge. But each buyer and
user of Paris green may just as well
help himself. Pure Paris green dis
solves perfectly in strong ammonia,
giving a beautiful clear blue liquid.
Put little Paris green in a vial or
small bottle, pour little strong am
mon1a over it, cork it up and shake up
well. If the clear blue liquid is OBJ
tanned without mud-colored sediment
you may be sure that the Paris green
is all right.-Farm and Fireside.

Underground Waters of Southeast
ern Virginia.

Important light has been thrown on
the underground water resources of
southeastern Virginia by a. deep well
recently constructed at Fort Monroe.
The well was sunk to bedrock "gran-
ite" 2, ,246 feet, but, although severa
water bearing strata were penetrated
they were all found to develop flows of
salt water. The results obtained from
the Fort Monroe well confirm those
found elsewhere in this region. Salt
water only has been found in borings
at No,folk, Va, at 760 feet; at Wilm-
ington, N. c., where bedrock was
reached; at the Chamberlain Hotel, Old
Point Comfort, at 947 feet, and in sew
eral wells at Crisfeld in southern
Maryland. These borings Indicate that
there are no prospects for usable un-
derground waters in the region. East
ern Virginia is underlain by success
sion of widely extended sheets of sand
and clays lying in regular order on an
east sloping floor of granite or other
"bedrock. This rock disappears
beneath the surface along zone pass
ing near Petersburg, Richmond, Fred
ericksburg, and Washington, and, de-
scending at rate varying from 40 to
100 feet per mile, reaches considera-
Bile depth near the ocean,, ,246 feet at
Fort Monroe. The sands of the over
lying formations contain water which
is abundant and fresh for the first 40
to 80 miles from the west, but is now
known not to be available in the ex-
treme southeast. Numerous fine flow
ing wells have been obtained along the
Potomac, Rappahannock, York and
James rivers from several sand hori-
IONS, but about Old Point Comfort
and to the south and east the upper
water bearing sands have changed into
non water bearing clays, and the lower
sands yield only salt water.

said, under the influence of the palm
| the intoxicating delights of kiss were
learned by castaway Europeans, who,
later returning to their country, car
ried the custom with them; the spread
thenceforth being rapid and the custom
soon becoming general.
Some authorities, notably De Monke
and Geyer, have even tried to prove
that from the kissing of the hand came,
as a compliment to the kissing palm,
the styling of the inner side of the hand
the palm However this may be, one
thing is certain, that this peculiar
variety of palm is Indigenous to the
Pacific island mentioned by Cambren-
sis. Outside of that of Baudiern, there
IS no record of any specimens of the
plant growing in other parts of the
world.
The number of palms in the island
to which it is a native is very small,
and, for number of reasons, there is
little likelihood of there ever being aEy
material Increase. The questions of
altitude and climatic conditions make
it extremely improbable that the palm
can ever be successfully grown any
where other than in its little island
home. A few feet higher or lower in
its relation. to sea level determines
against it's life, while continual tenn
perature approximating SO degrees is
an absolute necessity. Only by the
most patient and persistent expert
menting have something like the
conditions necessary to the preserva
tion of the palm been procured. These
conditions, however. can only approxi-
mate the natural state in which this
rare exotic thrives, and therefore,
despite all arduous care that is being
given and painstaklng efforts that are
being put forth by the agricultural
people, it is feared that this strange,
lypnotic, almost uncanny wayfarer
from the far-off Pacific isles must
1rOop and die.-Washington Post.

Death of San Jose Scale.

There are three kinds of treatment
now being recommended for San Jose
scale. There is the fumigation method,
which is generally believed to be the
be the most expensive, but which can
not be used practically except on COM
paratively small trees. Secondly, there
is the lime, salt and sulphur spray,
which seems to be the favorite in New
York state and Ontario orchards,
where the scale has become estab-
lished. Third, there is the crude petro-
leum treatment, which is highly recon-
mended by some, and which has proved
emphatically dangerous with others.

@srArE ORGANIZER" o'NEIL.
Turned Out of His Place by the Fed
 eration of Labor.


 Hartford. Oct 2O.-"State Organiz- err, J. J. O'Neil of Bridgeport has been deposed by the State Federation of Labor from the position of organizer and Joseph Cornell of South NorWalk has been chosen in his place. O'Neil was delegate at the Democratic state convention from Bridgeport and made a speech for Cary. The Thayer breth- ren have kept that fact up their sleeves and they shook it out at the first op- portunity and got rid of O'Neil. The Bridgeport papers say that he held the place with it's accompanying emoluments," whatever that may mean. It has been asserted that when ever a new union was "organiZed'' the organizer got 25 cents per. If that is so, then the Bridgeport reference must be to that little detail. O'Neil has been in this part of the state more or less and was especially active in stirring up the employees of Cheney Brothers at South Manchester, where long years of peace, prosperity and mutual consideration have been suc- ceeded. by a bitter strike over an inn aginary grievance. The plan was to run O'NeiI as. a Democratic nominee for the house from Bridgeport Then q meeting was held and the indorsement by the labor men was cancelled. Later at another meeting he was indorsed again. But it is said that now he will be finally withdrawn.

SUNDAY EVENING CONCERT
Was Thoroughly Enjoyed Last Even
 ing at City Hall.

ing at City Hall.
 The first of a series of concerts was given in the city hall last evening by the American band, conducted by James M. Fulton. The hall was crowded, which was gratifying testi- mony of the popularity of the concerts given by this organization last winter. The selections of music were very pleasing, though rather somewhat deep in some instances, the dances by Dvorak and Schwarenka being appar- ently more enjoyed than the thunder ous crash of Wagner's sRienzi," the opening piece. But every figure on the program was encored to the limit. The audience did not stop after the first number until all the comets were brought to the footlights. Gounod's cornet solo, "Berceuse," by William H. Phoenix was delightful and the players hundreds of friends in the hall kept him to the front for some time in encores. The melange intrOduc- ing Mascagni's ever popular inter- mezzo, ssEvening Star" from Tann- hauser and Liszt's charming and sparkling Second Hundarian Rhapso- dy, besides others, was one of the fea- lures of the program. But the selec- ton from Floradora, "Tell Me, Pretty Maiden,'' sent the hall whistling. The Prince of Pilsen," arranged by MT. Fulton, was enjoyed the best of all and for encores the band struck up several popular pieces, closing with "In the Good Old Summer Time" in which the whole hall joined in the refrain. Two or three times the band had to play this before the audience was satisfied. The closing number was by ''The Civil War,'%a musical anamora by Tobani, showing ill music the emotions of the country before, through and after the Civil war. It was decidedly fine concert and worth five times the admission charged.
