A statute mile is $3.50 feet. A
knot is 6oSo feet-0oo feet more than
statute mile-fve thirty-thirds-
$3.50. Hence to find the number
of statute miles in a given number
of knots multiply the number Of
knots by So and divide the product
by 80. IF ship sails 20 knots an
hour it goes 70 and 1-33 miles
ox3S=76o+ OF course
the same result is found by multiply
ing 20 by the number of feet in a
knot and divide the product by the
number of feet in a statute mile.

One of the most troublesome pests
to gardeners is the little stripped
cucumber bug. They will destroy
cucumber and melon vines mighty
quick if allowed to work. A writer
in the Wisconsin Farmer says moth
balls, one or two by hill, will sure
ly keep them away. These moth
balls are by-product of petroleum.
They seem TO contain about all the
bad odor imaginable. They may
be obtained at the druggists and are
cheap. 1t is likely these moth balls
will discourage any kind of para
site that preys upon plants.

Railroad BLOCK sirnnIs.

Only about % per cent Of the total
mileage Of railroads in the United
States is equipped with the block sig
nails system, according to the Railroad
Gazette, which has investigated the
subject recently. In a total mileage of
about 100000 only 1900 miles are so
equipped, and on nearly 1900 miles
where the system has been installed
these signals are only used in time Of
fog and that chiefly for passenger
trains.
The Gazette calls attention to the
fact that on 5937 miles Of road this
safety device was installed last year.
whereas the railway budgets make
provision for block signaling only
3.77s miles during the current year.
Some railroad men hold that block sig
nails are not generally necessary. but
the numerous accidents Of recent years
have stimulated a public desire for
some sort of protection against col
lislons.
