SPIDER SILK.
Its Wonderful Strength, Elasticity
aud Lasting QuaIifY

and Lasting Quality.
The astronomer after tie experience
Of many years has found that the spi-
der furnishes the only thread which
can be successfully used in carrying
on his work, writes Ambrose Swazey
in the Scientific American.
The spider lines mostly used are from
one-ffth to one-seventh of a thousandth
of an inch in diameter, and, in addition
to their strength and elasticity, they
have the peculiar property of with
standing great changes of temperature,
and often when measuring the sun
spots, although the heat is so intense
as to crack the lenses of the microme-
ter eyepiece, yet the spider lines are not
in the least injured.
The threads of the silkworm, al
though of great value as a commercial
product, are so coarse and rough COM
pared with the silk of the spider that
they cannot be used in such instru-
ments.
Spider lines, although but fraction
of thousandth of an inch in diameter,
are made up of several thousands Of
microscopic streams of fluid, which
unite and form single hne and it is
because Of this that they remain true
and round under the highest magnify
ing power.

Thomas B. Jeffrey and c. W. Al
len Each Send Checks for $500
to the Kenosha Hospital.
IMPROVEMENTS ARE.sPAID FOR
Generous Gifts Will BeaUse to Settle
Bills for Extensive Repairs Recent
1y Made-Hospita1 Has Proved
a Success From the Start.

There is great rejoicing among the
directors and friends of5theslKenosha
hospital today on accountsGof the fact
that the generous giftsgmade to the
hospital recently enable the new i'm
provements to be :paid for at once,
leaving the institution free Of ali
debt.
Friday afternoon Treasurer O'Don-
nell of the hospital fund received a
check for $500 for the general uses of
the hospital from the Thomas B.
Jeffery company.gand another check
for a like sum from c. w. Allen.
These generous donations were made
with the understanding that the
money was to be applied to:payments
for the extensive repairs and improve
ments that..have recently been made
at the hospital and the gamount is
sufficient, together with the donation
of $500 recently made by Mrs. Nathan
Allen for "a similar purpose, to pay
all the outstanding gbil1s :for repairs
and leave a sma'f balance in the
building fund:o e.ihospita1. The
repairs, which have been in progress
for some time past, I'd greatly to the
efficiency of the hospital, and the
generous sway lin which the wealthy
people of the city.have come forward
with gifts whenever they we're needed
shows that it is their determination
not to allow the hospital directors to
worry over funds with which to make
necessary alterations and repairs.
The repairs (which these donations
will pay forswere made necessary by
the crowded condition of the original
hospital building and the imperative
necessity of increasing the accommo-
dations in some way. The hospital
has proved such a success from the
beginning that it has been crowded
almost from the 'opening day and al
most from the start the directors have
been confronted with the problem Of
getting more3 room. Finally it was
decided to take in the cottage to the
north and a corridor has been built to
connect the stwo buildings giving
much more room ssfor the accommoda-
ton of patients. An. elevator has
been insta11ed....and Smany other i'm
provements for the comfort and con-
venience ofSthe patients and nurses
have been made.
When the directors decided to go
ahead and make these alterations and
additions there was no money to pay
for them but the directors were given
assurances that the money would be
forthcoming for all necessary expen-
SEES of the hospital, andsthe generous
donations made from time to time in
dictate that the work of the hospital is
not going to be crippled for lack OF
funds.

CUTWORM-LARvA, PUPA AND ADULT.
of various colors, and all are night
f1iers. They are known as owlet
moths.
The eggs of these cutworms are laid
in various places, often in sod land or
wherever appropriate food Is to be had,
late in summer or early in the fall, and
the young cutWorms that hatch out
become partially grown before winter
sets in, alternating in this condition.
In the spring they awaken with very
healthy appetite and attack weeds,
grass or anything that offers. In some
species the eggs are laid in the spring,
and in still others the winter is passed
in the egg stage. A greater number,
however, pass the winter as partially
grown larvae. In the case of an or
chard newly planted on sod land the
destruction may be very rapid and COM
plete, as there is little else to be had.
OF course all our Michigan orchards
are we'll cultivated
CutwOrms of all kinds migrate and
will come into orchards and vineyards
from good breeding places and make
themselves at home very quickly. They
are good travellers as rule.
Where cutworms are suspected plow
late in the fall before setting out q
young orchard, thus burying many
eggs or young worms" The presence
of some crop to the liking of the cut
worms, something like rye, put in as
late as possible and turned under when
the foliage gets well grown will fur
nish the worms something to eat and
keep many Of them out of the trees

CLIMBING CUTWORMS.
PlOW Land For Orchards Late In the
Fall Before Planting Trees.

Fail Before Planting Trees.
Ihere are among the cutworms a
number perhaps a dozen or more, that
make a practice Of climbing fruit trees,
grapevines, etc, and of eating out the
opening buds and young foliage, often
to the serious detriment Of the tree.
The peach is a tree badly affected, but
young apple trees just set out often
suffer very severely. There are, as
stated, several species Of these cut
worms. Almost all cutworms work at
night, and those that have developed
the climbing habit are no exception.
Usually the first intimation Of their
presence occurs when certain parts OF
the trees fail to put forth young leaves
or else when such young foliage disap-
pears, usually on a whole branch at a
time If the infestation be slight, or the
whole tree if the tree be small and the
the peach the blossoms are often eat
en-, hole being made through the side
Of the calyX and the ovule of the young
peach taken out. The proper course to
take under such circumstances Is to go
to the infested places at night with a
lantern and to watch carefully with a
dim light for the culprits. The adults
of these pests are moths of medium
size, the wings spreading perhaps an
inch or an inch and half. They are

SAVING BANK DEPOSITS.
Hearing on Bill Regarding Joint
 Money of Husband and Wife.

Hearing on Bill Regarding Joint
 Money of Husband and Wife.
 Representative Waller of New Lon don appeared before the committee oil banks, Wednesday afternoon at Hart ford in support of his bill that say ings banks may receive deposits in the name of husband and wife jointly and on written agreement may pay on the order of either.
 Mir Waller briefly explained the bill and showed that there was strong call for such u measure. Mir Waller said that such deposits are being re- ceived by banks and that being the fact the deposits should be legalized.
 A hill similar to this bill. he said, was introduced fin 1901, and objection was made by some probate judges on the ground that it interfered with pro- batting estates. But this bill does not so interfere.
 It was suggested that the wife might put in three-quarters of the de rosit; the husband might die and then his creditors might garnishee the de- posit. getting money of the wife's to pay the husbands debts.
 Senator Atwood inquired about the claims of creditors after the decease of either husband or wife. Would the creditors be protected and would they be able to get money from these de- posits from the survivor?" he asked.
 "Death does and doesn't bar credit ors as against the deceased person. Mir Waller said. and he opened up nn interesting point of law. Other points were also opened.
 The bill looks to me like one which the judiciary committee should cope with." Senator Atwood said. "It opens up points of law which lawyers should deal with. I think that points would arise which would send some cases un- der such law to the supreme court.
 Representative Marsh of Waterbury was present and Senator Atwood in- terrogated him as to a legal point. Then the committee decided to refer the bill to the judiciary committee.

TRAINING CADETS.
War Department Has Just Made Puh.
 lie Its Report.

Washington, March 31.-Thc war department has made public the re. port of the joint board of army a'1d navy officers convened by special or ders of Feb 5 to take into considera- ton the physical training of cadets at the military academy and of mid, shipmen at the naval academy. The report is endorsed by President Roose- welt, who directs that the recomme1l- datiOns be carried out and also that Il further report on progress be submit te to him sixty days hence. Secretary Taft approves the recommendation and Acting Secretary Darling approves the recommendations except as to the sug- gestion that the sword of the army be made a part of equipment of every ship in the navy for use of officers and landing parties.
 The most important featurr of the report is the recommendation Chat the Japanese art of jiu jtsu be incQrpora- ted in the course with boxing and wrestling. The board recommends that physical training be extended over tie four years course at each academy instead of one year as at present.
 In discussing the use of swords and after recommending their use on ships, to which objection is made-by Acting Secretary Darling. the report says:
 This widespread opinion against the sword and in favor of the revolver only is founded upon service under ab- normal conditions, in country large- ly underbrush. and against foe who rarely stood against a determined ad- vance: and with q sword which itself was an inferior weapon.
 The increased killing power of the magazine rife and rapid fire field gun has operated to force both the Japanese and Russian armies in order to mini mize their losses to make many night attacks. These night attacks are not surprises by small bodies of troops. but movements of divisions anu armies in battle formation. 1Nhe result of this has been to force the fire quent employment of the bayonet by the enlisted men, and of the sword by the officer, and to increase their ilE- portance as fighting weapons. The losses due to cold steel in this War will probably never be accurately known. ,but enough has already bserl reported officially on both sides to show that the sword has been effec- lively used. particularly in these night attacks. These being facts, it follows as q corOllary that the sword adopted for officers of the army should be d fighting weapon and not merely a badge of Office.'
