Medicine for Trees and Plants.

From the Boston Transcript.
While the science of animal medicine Is
obviously antiquated, It Is certainly much
mere advanced than the science of vegeta-
tive medicine. Animals are treated locally
and internally with curative medicines.
while aside from fumigation and spraying
OF diseased plants, the first gleam Of light
is Just breaking in treating diseased plants
and trees with medicaments some nutri-
tive. and others curative. A Russian inveS-
tigator has just reported the result Of some
nVe hundred experiments OF this character
which he conducted by introducing into the
trunks nutritive salts. both in the dry state
and in solution. Experiments were made
with oaks. poplars and sycamores, which
suffered from frost. diseased white acacias,
pear and apple trees In all cases the re-
suits were more or less favorable. Chloross,
or bleaching of leaves. was treated sue
cessfully with iron Sulphate, well as
obstructive fungus disease of the grape vine
krown as anthracnose. Fungus disease OF
the apple and oak were also successfully
combatted by administering medicine in
ternaly. as 1t were, allowing the plant to
take up the solutions in its sap and to dis
tribute them to the diseased cells In this
way.

How an Idaho Tunnel Was Cooled.

From the Scfentinr American
The boring OF the OK Bow tunnel In Idaho
is one of the great engineering feats OF the
age The Payette river at this point makes
a loop. and by putting a tunnel through
200 feet the river bed Is left dry for two
and a quarter miles 1t Is the intention to
mine the river bed for gold.
Ordinarily the putting through Of this
tunnel would be simple matter, but at 800
feet from the upper end and 80 feet from
the lower hot water was struck. The heat
at first was from o5 to 105 degrees. increas-
Ing as the work progressed to 132 degrees
at the hottest point. Different fans and
blowers were experimental with to cool the
air In the tunnel. but without success until
William Flick. the superintendent OF the
work. thought OF spraying the walls Of the
tunnel with water pumped from the river.
Very simple pumping apparatus and COM
mon garden sprays were used with COM
plete success. The tunnel is 2S feet wide
and feet high. and the flow OF hot water
amounted to IS miners inches. The cold
water cooled the hot water and was pump
ed out with common pumps.

The Greatest Health Factor-Work.
From the Medical World.

Congeniai work with mind and hands
should be encouraged in all persons. for
its prophylactic as we'll as It's curative in
f1uences. Rest will prove serviceable doubt
less In numbers Of cases. but its applica-
ton should be restricted and carefully stud
led. There are many conditions where abb
solute rest will not only prove useless. but
really harmful. To send man from an
active business life to one of complete IN
activity will often prove disastrous. as
much so as TO prescribe all food for the
obese.
The nervous will complain that they do
not feel like work. If left to themselves
and told to do absolutely nothing. not even
to read. they are sure to dwell upon their
infirmities and grow thereby morose and
hypochondriacal. thus increasing their in
validism. The desire for work should be
encouraged in all conditions and In all
classes. II ones interest Is aroused even
to a slight degree a continuance in the
work will develop desire for occupat tion.
One will never feel like work If one has
nothing to do. Work will often accomplish

will not. for it Is not alone that we must
earn our bread by the sweat of the brow.
but every man and woman should work for
the pleasure of It, well as for the health
giving. brain-expanding results. and the
benefit of example.

Christ Church, Philadelphia, also has an interesting set of bells. They are more than a century and a half old.

It was then made to bear this inscriptions: This church was formed A.

AUTUMN DAYS LIVELY

Plymouth. Mass, Oct. 14.-"It always amuses me when am in Florida or in

 ran cranberry grower the other day.. to draw out people of other sections on the subject of cranberries. gI find that many very intelligent people fancy they are raised on shrubs or even on trees and picked pretty much as cher ries or blackberries are. Some of the people I meet are cautious and will not commit themselves. but others are quite naive in their ignorance and willingness to display it."
 Summering on Cape Cod has of late become so universal that 1t might be expected the sight of cranberry bogs, purple and pink and green with rum ming vines of the vaccinium macrocar- pon must have become familiar to a considerable portion of the population of the United States.
