It Was the First Planted In Western New
York aud Woman Raised IL.
Mrs. Sophronia Phelps, Of Kuckvilie,
Orleans County, ~ Y, celebrated her
ninety-thlrd birthday the other day.
The event was marked by an old-fash-
Toned reception.
"AIistress Phelps" as her old friends
and relatives call her to this day, as
that was the way she was addressed
three-quarters of a century ago, sat
in a curiously carved chair which is
more than 125 years old, and an heir
loom. But the relic which interested
the guests most was a cane belonging
to Colonel Miles, of Kuckyille, made
from the wood of the first apple tree
planted in Western New York. The
cane is handsomely carved and beau
tifuly polished 1t was related at the
birthday party by Mistress Phelps that
this first apple tree was planted by a
Mrs. Durham who sCwed the apple
seed herself and cared for the tender
shoot until it was set out near the
Durham homestead in the eastern part
of what is now Erie County.
Mrs. Durham came when a girl from
New York City. The family stopped
at Albany and slowly worked their
way along the Mohawk, westward
through the wilderness. They stayed
for a while at or near the salt springs
of Syracuse, and there, according to
tradition, somebody gave them a hand
full of apple seeds. From one Of these
seeds came the first apple tree planted
in Western New York, the advance
guard of the innumerable orchards
that crowd the most famous appl,
, growing region in the world.-NeV

Catches and Kills the moths.

The affinity of the moth for the flame
is well known, and this inordinate love
is utilized in the device illustrated
herewith to eXterminate the insect. A
metallic receptacle is provided, which

at the top. On this receptacle are
placed two plates Of tin or other poi

It is still the season of the typhoon when we put to sea once more, and those of us who have been in these seas before tell strange tales of them to our messmates tales so strange that the man who has seen and known what the wrath of the typhoon can do will hesitate to speak of it in ordinary company, lest he be written down as an irremediable story teller.

Nearly every one has heard of the tuatara, the curious, ignuana-like look ing creature, now found on only one or two islands off the coast of New Zea- land, and supposed to be the oldest liv- ing type of animal on the face of the globe. One of the most curious features is an organ on the head, which at one time was spoken of as the pineal gland, but which Dr. Dendy discovered to be in reality third eye. His paper on the subject caused the greatest interest in the English scientific circles, and, as an illustration of the way in which re- search is specialized nowadays, it may be mentioned that while Dr. Dendy de- voted himself to the study of the third eye, one distinguished English biologist is working out" the skeleton, another the kidneys, and so forth In a short time, therefore, our anatomical knowl- edge of the tuatara ought to be com plete.
 More recently Dr. Dendy has discov- cred another New Zealand creature pos sessing third eye. This is the New Zealand lamprey favorite article of food among the Maori The third eye is situated right on top of the head and is covered with thin coating of skin. It is doubtful whether it is now of any practical use for seeing but Dr. Dendy believes, that at one time, far back in the worlds history, there were two eyes on the back of the lamprey's head He is further of the opinion that at one time the tuatara also had two eyes where now only one remains. In the tuatara it is the left eye which has survived, while in the lamphrey it is the right one.-Melbourne Argus.

MILK
George {. Perkins Lectures on
Its Composition and Supply.

George r. Perkins, formerly milk In
spector In this city. lectured at the Bell
Street chapel. last night, on the compost
tion and supply Of milk.
Mr.. Perkins said: when we speak OF
milk II is generally understood that we
speak of the milk OF cow because that
is about all We come In contact with, ex-
cept In our younger days. Woman's and
cows milk are nearly Identical. as re-
CARDS the percentage OF solids. MIX In ma
ture's food and the nourishment depends
on the amount OF solids Cows milk over
feeds an infant giving an excess OF SUI
gar. There Is a variation In all mflks. The
law makes IL per cent legal milk. but this
In unjust, for cows often give milk below
that standard. Out OF 100 samples OF milk
taken in 1893 only 200 fell below IL per
cent.
''The quality OF a cows milk is largely
a matter of breeding. We have several
registered herd OF cattle. Holsteins ana
Ayrshires, phenomenal mixers that give
a low quality OF milk. We have a right 10
insist ,on good fair quality OF milk, but
IL Is impossibl TO determine whether milk
is watered or OF naturally low grade. our
milk standard OF IL per cent. solids and
2,< per cent OF fat is the lowest In New
England but not the lowest In the coun-
try. =.
THE most valuable constituent OF milk
is the fat The abstraction OF cream ana
the addition or water and color are .ne
principal means OF adulterating milk.
Skim milk solids are otter used as an
aduiterant and also sold in cans as con-
densed milk.
''The city OF Providence has we'll
equipped system OF milk inspection, but
II should have state control. There should
be a dairy bureau. The city should own
It's milk supply. 1t Is product OF vital
importance to everybody. Consumption IL
traceabIe TO milk. ]. should be strictly
under Government control.
Herds of cows all over the state are
afflicted with tuberculosis and human be-
ings are dying OF consumption. The con-
nection Is the milk. Mix Is peculiarly
susce ptible TO germs. Many producers OF
milk ought 10 be prohibited from the busi-
ness entirely. 49,
providence has TO go so miles for milk
