Smallest OF Microbes.

The smallest microbe yet known is
said to have been discovered by o.
Voges of Buenos Ayres. 1t is much
less than the influenza bacillus. and
only just discernible when magnitied
about 500 times.
The work of the smallest bacterium
in this troubled world is to produce
deadly assesses, known in South
America as manguea, in cattle, with
this special characteristic-the hotter
the climate the more fatal the iniec-
ton.
A further popularity is that If the
abscess is opened in its early stages
the disease is arrested and the animal
saved. Minuteness Of the germs OF
disease is no particular advantage to
the victims; the influenza microbe
makes up for its diminutiveness by
overwhelming numbers.

HOW FARMERS ARE sWINpLEp.
Agricultural Bulletins a Source Of
Profit to Sharpers.

"While agricultural departments of
the national government and of the
various states are doing good work
and their investigations and expert
ments have been of great value to
farmers. gardeners and stock raisers,"
said a retired farmer the other day,
bands of sharpers take advantage of
every official announcement made by
the authorities.
For instance. department an
nounces the discovery of an insect
that destroys the cabbage. Within
twenty-four hours the sharpers are ad-
vertising powder that will destroy
these insects. A department an
nounces the appearance of the elm
pest. In every locality in the coun-
try appear smooth-talking gentlemen
who claim to be able to prevent dam
age to the trees by this insect. People
believe them and pay them money.
only to have their trees killed by the
very methods which the sharpers
claim will save them from destruction
by the pests.
''The national agricultural depart
ment at Washington has announced
recently that the seventeen-year-lo-
Gusts will appear this year, and fol-
lowing this there have suddenly
sprung into existence several unique
methods Of destroying these insects or
of preventing their ravages."

RIVER THAT IS ALWAYS PEACEFUL
Androscoggin Never Floods Country,
because OF DAm0,

because or Dams.
In all the reports of storm and
flood, disaster and death. there is one
great river-the outlet of Lake um-
bagog, which debouches from the lake
about forty miles and trifie east OF
north of Mount Washington in New
Hampshire, like the Nile from Albert
Nyanza, a river of sufficient depth and
breadth to float the steamers that ply
in summer on the lake--that is seldom
heard FROM said fc.;ner New
Hampshire man recently.
THE Androscoggin in all the aou-
BILE and tumult continues to flow on
unveXed to the sea. carrying blessings
without number to the land and peo-
pie, the cattle on thousand hills,
birds of the air and creeping things.
"The region of this river is not ex-
empt from conditions prevailing else
where. The Connecticut river. on the
other side of the state and at the lakes
but twenty miles away, is doing rs
share in the way of dams carried rut.

"Why, every one will ask, is tie

is easy. A plain man. now deceased.

clpal sources. These dams form thu ee
great lakes in the wilderness covering
the divide between the waters flow

flowing back into the st. Lawrence,
which holds back the flood until tle

according to the Washington St;-r,
