PROTECTING WATER PIPES.
How Winter Time Annoyances May
Be Overcome by a Simple
Device
Device.

! am speaking from actual expe-
rience with a 60-foot stand-pipe under
tank, and also with another tank
only 50 feet high. Both of these
pipes are one and one-half inch diam
eter. We tried several methods, and
found the present plan entirely salts
factory It may seem rather. expen-
siye, but such a job to be Improperly
done is much more expensive, as we
have found by experience. The dia-
gram will show just how we do it,
says the Rural New Yorker. Make a
four-ineh pipe Of heavy galvanized
iron in sections like stovepipe, each
made to slip over the next. Every
second section should have four cop
per wires run through holes in the
pipe on four sides and opposite to each
other, and the wire soldered on the
outside, also solder the holes up
tight. AS you put each section on,
fasten these wires SO the water pipe
is in the middle Of the galvanized pipe.
# announcement to disconnect your
water pipe to slip these pipes over the
top, then crimp and fasten at top and
bottom with small short stove bolts.
Screw heads on the outside. Then
put the boards on as shown in dia-
gram. Be sure always to break joints.
Do not wrap pipes with anything;
leave them bare; paper and asbestos
get wet in summer and freeze in Win
ter. Do not try to keep the water
from freezing in the pipes by letting
water run through them; it will not
work under most conditions. Unless
the water is very warm in the tank,
it will form ice and freeze quicker run
ming than if nos running. If you
have a windmill to supply the water
by letting the water run and also the
mill, you will be all right, but any
other kind Of a supply will not be
satisfactory. I use a gasoline engine

though rarely numerous enough to ELL
the San Jose scale, Aspidiotus per-
niciosus Comst., and the turning gel
low of the foliage and death of the
trees would indicate some other cause
for the trouble We observed condi-
tons somewhat similar to this at the
latter end Of the season IN western New
York, and there it was due in all prob
ability to excessively wet weather.
The scurfy bark louise may easily be
recognized by its elongated, somewhat
pear shaped form. the smaller end bear
ing minute yellow particle, the cast
skin Of an early stage. The male scales
are elongated, with a small yelloWish
pellicle at one end of a much larger,
three-ridged white scale They are fre-
quently crowded together in masses and
give an almost snowy-white appearance
to infested tWigs. The female scales,
when recent, are almost pure white, but
as they age dust and dirt collect upon
them and they soon become grayish.
The common name of security bark louise
is bestowed on this species because OF
the scurfy, scale-like masses it forms
upon infested trees. The insect passes
the winter as purplish eggs under the
protecting mother scale, the young
appearing in this latitude the latter part
of May or early in June, and in Pennsyl-
Eania probably about the middle Of May.
Thorough spraying at the time the
young appear with whale-oil soap
solution or kerosene emulsion, using
one pound Of the former to four gallons
of water, or one part of the standard
emulsion to about seven gallons of wa
ter, should destroy most of the insects.
The San Jose scale is very different,
and may be at once distinguished from
the bark louise by it's circular outline,
and also smaller size The full-groNn
female scale of the seurfyZ bark louise
is about one-tenth of an inch in length,
whereas that Of the San Jose scale is
only one-si1teenth of an inch in dame
ter. The young scales of the latter spe-
cies are dark gray, sometimes almost
black, with distinct central nipple and
a grayish ring. A most characteristic
feature OF this latter species, and one
which distinguishes it from other bark
lice having a circular scale, is that the
green tissues of fruit. foliage and tWigs
are usually stained a deep red or purple
in the Immediate vicinity of the insect.
This species, unlike the scurfy bark
louise. passes the winter in a partly
grown condition, and does not begin
breeding until about the middle OF lat
ter part of June, and continues produce
ing young throughout the remainder
of the growing season. It is most sue
cessfully controlled therefore by the
application of winter sprays-materiaI
which are strong enough to kill the in
sects while still under the protecting
scales. Lime-sulphur washes appear to
be the most effectual of anything hith-
erto used for the destruction of this pest.

LIGHT RADlATEs FROM WOOD
Curious Action of Section Of Fir Tree
Branch on a Photographic

a curious property of wood, whereby
it IS able to photograph itself in the
dark, is described by DR.. William ]. Rus
sell. in a paper read before the London
Royal society. and printed in Nature
Says DR.. Russell:
It has been shown in former papers
that many substances are capable OF act
ing on a Photographic plate in the dark
and producing picture of themselves.
further Investigation shows that this
property belongs probably to ali woods,
some, however, being much more active
than others.
To obtain a picture, the wood has to
pc in contact with. or at a little dis
lance above. the Photographic plate, and
has to remain there for times varying
from half an hour to Is hours, and to
pc at temperature not higher than
s. degrees G. (13l FL.
The wood of the conifers is very act
i've, and gives pictures which are very
definite. The Illustration is a picture
OF section of a branch Of a Scotch fir,
and shows well the rings OF spring and
autumn growth. It is remarkable that
the former are very active, producing
IN this picture the dark rings, and so
The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1905-01-07

with the other pictures, the part which
is active in the original is dark in the
picture, The rings seen in the wood
are very sharp and strongly pronounced
II the picture. If the action e1erted Oh
the plate be owing to the presence of
hydrogen peroxide, as has been pre-
Fiously suggested, no doubt it is pro-
dHeed BY the resinous bodies present
in the wood, but it is remarkable that
there is no action from the dark autumn
wood Experiments described in the
full paper show that resin exists in the
dark rings, but apparently under such
conditions that it cannot escape. Other
members Of the pine group have been
experimental with and have been found
to behave IN the same way as the
Scotch fir
With the spruces the action on the
plate is not SO definite and well marked;
the white wood is always active, but
il some cases the dark rings are also
active, and the pictures are not SO sharp
as with the frs. hardwood gives a
very interesting result, for the picture
is the reverse of that of the Scotch fir,
that is, the dark rings in the wood are
the active rings and the light rings are
inactive
With regard to woods other than
eonifers, oak and beech are both active
and give very good pictures, SO also does
acacia (Robinia). Spanish chestnut and
sycamore; on the other hand, ash, elm,
horse chestnut, plane are comparative
" but slightly active.
Many foreign woods are very active,
but as the annual rings are often not
well developed, the pictures they give
are of a somewhat different character.
The African blackwood, rosewood, CO.
cobola, and many others are very active.
Several of the foreign woods have a
ring of white wood which is quite in
active.
Knots in wood generally, but not
always, give a good picture. Some Of
the resin in Immediate contact with the
knot is in some cases but little active.
The marked difference in properties Of
resins from different sources is de-
seribed, and it is shown how difficult it
is to remove it so that the wood shall
be no longer active. Boards that have
been exposed to the air for long time,
as oak boxes 100 or more years old.
rotten wood from the stump Of a tree.
and even bog wood have all been found
to be still active.
Tn certain cases the picture obtained
on the plate does not resemble the
markings which are visible on the wood.
With some woods this more commonly
occurs than with Others. That this
picture is persistent in the wood is
shown by fresh sections giving the
same result. The true bark Of a wood
is apparently quite without action on
a Photographic plate. SO is the internal
pith of a plant
