President nay Again Visit Sea Girt

President nay Again Visit Sea Girt.
President Roosevelt's special EN-.
phasis of the Importance of the rifle
range, in his address of last Thurs
day, has given rise to the hope ON the
part of the range officers that he may
be induced to pay another visit tc
Sea Girt during the inter state shoot
ing tournament, which will be hello
from August 80 to September 6, in
elusive.
1t was originally planned to invite
the President to Sea Girt to witness
a part of the shoot. His invitation
to the camp last week was an after
thought. He took such lively in
terest in the Quits that the mill
tary officials believe he might be in
duced to return for the rife and re-
volver matches.
THE tournament is under the aus
piees of the National Rifle Associa
ton of America, the New Jersey
State Rife Association, and the
United States Revolver Association.
1t will open with the Wimbledon Our
match, to be participated in by the
National Rifle Association.
The Hilton trophy match will take
place September ?. and will be shot
by teams from the army and navy
and the National Guards of the
different States. The competition is
also open to the British Isles and
Canada.
The Interstate military match will
be held September 4, and is open tc
the army and navy and the National
Guard of the several states. The
Presidents match for the military
championship of the United States
will be shot September 6.
There Will be two National Guard
matches. One of these will he open
to teams of six from each regiment,
troop and battery of the National
Guard or battalion of the Naval
Reserve, and will be shot August 80.
The other will be q skirmish team
match open to teams of six mon from
the regimental battalion and separate
company organizations.
The other matches will be chiefly
for association members.

Congressman Fowler's advocacy of
such change in the national banking
system as will permit the establish
ment of branch banks is commendable.
Some people argue that the present
law which permits the establishment
of individual banks with capital of
S., 900 is all that is necessary; but
when it is known Gas the official
figures show that the cost of opera
ting a bank of the minimum capital
is nearly twice as much as that of
one with from one to two hundred
thousand, it may be seen that branch
banks would be established in many
places where an independent bank
would not be so likely to appear
Thus by the proposed change the
smaller communities would be en-
abled to receive the facilities that
they need. Banking houses are not

MICROBES OF THE SEA.
Some meteorological Wonders of the
Ocean-Germs Abound Along
the Coast.

At no particular spot has the sea
been found to be free from organisms.
although those isolated and recognized
have proved to be harmless, consisting
of active motile rods and vibrios, Cocci
being less numerous. AS might be
expected, the number of organisms in
creases immensely as the shore is APP
preached. Thus about a mile from
the shore something like 1000 germs
per cubic centimeter have been found,
and this influence of the shore extends
for four or five miles. Some hundreds
of miles from land the number dimin-
ishes to 600 and at greater distances to
200 or less, says the London Lancet.
OF course, the fact that algal vegeta-
ton is richest near the shore, provid-
ing a higher nourishing hunting
ground for marine organism, accounts
for the myriads usually found there.
Samples of sea water taken at some
depth below the surface proved to con-
tain only a few bacteria per cubic
centimeter. Thus at half a mile be-
low the surface only from eight to
twelve, bacteria were present. There
is little doubt that even should patho-
genie organisms gain access to the sea,
as must be the case when sewers dis
charge raw sewage into it, their activ-
ity must sooner or later be destroyed.
The sea is remarkable from bac-
THEOLOGICAL point of view in containing
phosphorescent bacteria, and it is prob
able that some Of these are disease
producing, so far, at any rate, as re-
CARDS certain aquatic animals. Thus
bacterium has been successfully cul-
tivated from the body of the luminous
talitrus, which is both pathogenic and
luminous. This bacterium invades the
abdominal cavity of this aquatic an
imal and all its organs with fatal
issue. During the presence of the dis
ease the victim shines with a green
light, which is said to be visible nearly
a dozen yards away, and which per-
sists for some hours after the demise
of the animal. It is not improbable
that the luminosity of other marine
animals may be due to the invasion OF
this light and disease-producing organ
ism.
The very beautiful phenomenon Of
the phosphorescence of the sea is
caused by photobacteria in parts as
well as by variety of low forms Of
animal life. The eerie light is in no

BILL ARP,

The cause Of the phenomenon is respir-
atory exchange or oxidation, an aero
bic function. Sea phosphorescence is
never witnessed in perfectly smooth
water, while the brilliancy of the light
when it is observed is always greatest
upon the crests of the waves or where
the water is in violent state of agita-
ton, as in the wake of steamer. It's
occurrence, therefore, is evidence of ac-
tive oxidation. Could, again, the sea
be sterilized phosphorescence would
cease.
The presence of highly combustible
matter increases the light. A very sim
pie experiment proves this. If the
flesh of a fresh paddock or herring
be placed in three per cent, salt So
luton and kept at low temperature
(from 40 to so deprees Fahrenheit) the
liquid will rapidly develop phosphores-
cence, which becomes quite brilliant
on adding little glycerine or sugar, or
what, in other words, is respirable ma
terial. 1t is curious that in marine life
disease and death should be associated
with luminous phenomena.

Argentine Railways.

The railway system of Argentine is
second to none in the world. Trains
run at frequent intervals, and punct-
ually, especially the long-distance
trains. The rolling stock is excellent,
and long-distance journey by rail is
luxury. The sleeping cars are sump-
tuously appointed, the permanent ways
are we'll laid, and there is consequently
very little jolting. 1t is possible to
breakfast or dine in the trains as COM
fortably as in hotel. The dining cars
are well fitted up and beautifully dec
grated with flowers and pot plants.
The food is properly cooked and taste
fully served at any hour of the day or
night, and, above all, the charges are
extraordinarily low. A dinner of six
courses, with coffee and dessert, on
the cars of the Great Southern railway
costs only two paper dollars, or -four
shillings, on an average, and the food
could not be better in any way. Fares.
too, are very low, so that travelling is
an easy and cheap matter.-LondoL

PROFIT in Truck Farming.

As long as the people of this com
munity delay in taking up the truck
farming and small fruit business just
so long do they neglect a fine oppor-
tunity to improve the condition of
things hereabouts. A hundred acres
planted in strawberries, vegetables
and such like every year would be
worth more in dollars and cents than
a cotton factory. 1t would scatter
more money among the people--and
that is. why a community wants a
cotton factory. 1t only remains for
some of our enterprising farmers
and business people to take up the
movement. 1t does not require a
great amount of capital-Grenada

RED AND BLACK ANTS.
surest way to Eradicate Them IL bX
Means of Carbon Bisulphide in
Liquid Form.

Ants, the large red and black varie-
ties which burrow into the ground,
may be killed comparatively easily by
the use of carbon bisulphide, liquid
chemical of a peculiar, disagreeable
odor. To be entirely successful, how
ever, the habits of the ants must be
taken into consideration. Immedi-
ately after a rain is the accepted time
to attempt their destruction, for it is
then that the ants are very active,
bringing out into the sun to be dried

which may have become damp A
half teacupful-more If the nest is
very large one-of the carbon bisul'
phide poured into the nest at this time
will usually accomplish the result.
The ground being damp and cool is
also another decided advantage in
that it prevents the too rapid ABSORB
tion or volatilization of the carbon bi.
sulphide; consequently less quantity
of the chemical is required.
A word of caution in the use of the
carbon bisulphide is deemed neces-
sary. 1t must at all times be borne in
mind that the substance is highly in
fiammable, and under certain condi.
lions explosive. Matches, pipes, etc,

ieal is to be used. The carbon bisul'

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

One cause of failure with straw

Lime may be regarded as an actual

planted in clay soil.

ACT WITH JUDGMENT.
why Raspberry Canes Should be
Pinched Back sDaringIy, Ex-
PINNED by an Expert.

The pinching back of growing rasp-
berry canes in order to force the
growth of lateral wood is frequently
practiced by berry growers, but was
thought to be an unwise proceeding.
Two sets of experiments were, there
fore, tried with blackcaps and red va
rieties, with the following results:
In the pruned row the stumps were
more numerous than in the unpruned
and where both tips and laterals have
been pinched, more still. There were
fewer berries, or rather lighter
yield, says NJ G. Kains, This might
have been expected, because the
larger the number of canes the poorer
the fruit, as a rule. The smallest
yield was from plants trimmed in
both laterals and stems.
The reason for this increased num-
ber of stumps or canes is that the
raspberry produces its new growth
from the bases of the old, or two-year-
old stems. In this way the new canes
resemble the laterals produced high
er up on the stem, the difference be-
ing that they may not and normally
do not appear the season the cane
fruits, but push into growth the
spring following. For these reasons,
therefore, pinching induces an, in
creased development of these buds
at the bases of the stems, which wait
only favorable conditions to develop.
From these trials the conclusion
was drawn that great care must be eek
ercised to remove as little as possible
Of the tips by summer pinching and to
depend mainly upon the thinning of
the stems after the leaves have fallen,
or at least late enough to insure the
nondevelopment of the basal buds.
How many stems to leave each plant
win depend upon the soil. the variety
and its behavior in the neighborhood.

HANDY BUTTER CARRIER.
A Comparatively New Device That
should BE Adopted by All Proc

Rapid is the progress of the present
age, and to keep pace with it one must
be constantly on the alert to test thor
oughly the availability of every new
thing that comes up. Indeed, it is in
this manner largely that success can
be attained, for he who loiters by the
way in the least is liable to be left far
behind in the race, and that speedily.
Hence the reason why advance the
idea of certain dairymen using the but

oil and wrung as dry as possible. Now
take piece of No. 12 or 4 galvanized
wire and cut it into 2O-inch lengths,
bend five inches of each end at right
angles, and set them two inches in the
ground at the corner of each hill, as
seen at a in cut.
The netting is then spread over this
frame and the edges covered with a
little soil to keep it in place. This thin
covering, while admitting plenty of
light and rain as it falls, also keeps
out the little striped beetles. Cucum-
beers can thus be protected until they
send out laterals, and even if the vines
press against the top and sides, it does
not injure them. Put on the protec-
tors just as the plants are breaking
through the ground, removing them
in about three weeks. Kept in a dry
place when not in use they will do
good service several years,-H. L. Tay-
lor, in Farm and Home.
