DAYTON A VINECLAD CITY.
Ohio Town Called the Prettiest to Be
Found Anywhere.

One of the leading landscape archi-
tects of America has declared that, con
sidering the cost of its homes. X street
Dayton is the most beautiful street i'll
the world. The chief reason why it is
so is that every house is covered with
vines. Vines have been planted on Il
larger scale in Dayton than in any other
city of its size in America.
Dozens of different species have been
tried and the list for hest kinds for pub
lie use in civic Improvement work has
been narrowed to a small number, which
will be found of the utmost practical
value to beginners, especially those who
have little to spend. Good permanent
vines cost anywhere from - cents to
Sl.50 depending chiefly on the ease OF
propagation and the age and height OF
the plant
DaytOn's experience emphasizes the
need of trellises wherever vines are to
he trained over wooden walls. The sim
plest. cheapest and least obtrusive treills
is of woven wire fencing fastened to the
wall on horizontal strips OF poplar OF
pine two inches square. ThMe STRIPS
keep the vines away from the weather
boarding. preventing dampness and con
sequent decay.
When walls are to be painted the en-
tire trellis. vines and all, may be taken
down without injury Over such trellis,
which may be had in the width desired
at every hardware store, any of the
hardy climbers can be trained without
difficulty. Boston ivy may be used on
frame houses in this fashion without
damage to the walls.-Garden Magazine.

Testfying before the Senate com.
mittee at Washington, Interstate Com
merce Commissioner Prouty said in
discussing the proposition TO give TO
that commission the power to regulate
railway rates:
Il think the railways should make
their own rates. ! think they should
be allowed to develop their own bust
ness. | have never advocated any law,
and | am not now in favor of any law,
which would put the rate making pow
er into the hands Of any commission or
any court. While it may be necessary
to do that some time, while that is
done in some States ut the present
time, while it is done in some coun-
tries, | am opposed to it, The
railway rate is property. 1t IS all the
property that the railway has got The
rest of its property is not good for any
thing unless it can charge n rate Now
1t has always seemed to me that when
a rate was fixed, il that rate was an
unreasonab BILE rate. it depriyes the rail
road company of its property pro
tanto. 1t Is not necessary that you
should conhscate the property of Il
railroad; ii is not necessary that you
should say that II shall not earn three
per cent or four per cent. When YOU
put in rate that is inherently unrea-
sonablc, you have deprived that com.
pany OF its rights, of its property, and
the Circuit Court of the United States
has jurisdiction under thc fourteenth
amendment to restrain that
! have looked at these cases n great
many times, and | can only come to
the conclusion that railroad company
is entitled TO charge a fair and rca son
able rate, and if any order of a com
mission, If any statute of state Lcgis-
laturc takes away that rate the four
teenth amendment protects the railway

ANTS KILLED BY WEATHER.
Guatemala Insects Could Not Stand the
Climate of Texas.

The severe weather of last winter had
j very disastrous effect on the colonies of
Guatemala ants which were imported
into this country with the view of de-
stroying the boil weeyil. Those at the
laboratory at Victoria thrived but in the
other colonies in different parts of the
state there was no sign of life when the
milder weather set in.
The department is not discouraged,
however, and o. +. Cook, with four as
sistants. was sent to Guatemala to Sc
cure additional colonies which will be
sent to this country, and with the knowl-
edge of the habits of the ant which has
been acquired by the experiences of the
past it is hoped that a greater measure
of success will be encountered.
In the nests of the dead colonies were
found a large number of the bodies of
the boil weevil, showing beyond all doubt
that the ants had been the means of
wiping out the pests to a great extent.
The weather of the past winter was of
greater severity in Texas than has been
experienced for several years, and it is
thought that the ants will survive any
usual weather of that section.
