In Superintendent Ackerman's new
course OF study offered east week for
consideration by the state school board
the high school course is practically
unchanged and the greatest changes in
the common school are in the arithmetic
and history courses. Troy weight,
apotaecaries' liquid measure, foreign
currency, the metric system, bank
account, exact interest, compound inter
est, true discount, stocks and bonds and
all problems embracing these principles
are eliminated from the arithmetic
coarse, Professor Ackerman explains
that these principles are hardly ever
used by the students, and by leaving
them out IL will give more time to the
more practical part OF the work. Men
tai and written will be combined and
only one recitation had day. History
and civil government will be combined
and two years given to complete the
coarse. In geography only one book
will be used except in schools having
four or more teachers and more only by
formal vote Of the board of directors.
A three book course in language is not
recommended at all below the high
school and In reading oil supplementary
books will be ommited.
all the books in the new outline have
been contracted for by the state and
must be purchased by the pupil,
The other courses remain unchanged.

DESTROYS THE
COOLING MOTH

The new parasite introduced into Cali
fornia within the last few months is
showing great productiveness, and emf
nent horticuturalists contend that the
enormous increase OF these parasites
will finally exterminate the codling
moths entirely.
Commissioner +. 0. Bremmer from
six females has hatched more than 200
individual parasites, says the San Fran
cisco Chronicle. Under artificial condi-
tions their life history has been passed
in thirty-six days, but those bred in the
open air passed the life history in thirty
days or less, the exact time being un-
known. This would give from fifty to
100 individuals from each female, and
sustains the contention that by their
enormous increase the codling moth will
be exterminated by the parasite in
short time"
T.. L. Smith, president OF the state
board of horticulture, has received the
following letter from Il. p Wray, OF
Lakeport, Calf, who tells of how he is
experimenting with these moth. para

SPRAY FORMULA FOR
ARSENATE OF LEAD

Z. L. Smith, president Of the state
board of horticulture, has been in re-
ceipt Of so many inquiries relative to the
use of arsenate Of lead as a spraying
material for the codling moth and other
insects that he has framed the following
circular In reply:
The formula for making the arsenate
is as follows; Four on. arsenate of soda ;
IL OF. acetate Of lead.
Dissolve in water in separate buckets /;
pour together, and you will have sufii-
cient arsenate of lead for fifty gallons of
water, and all you need to is to pour
your arsenate into the water and stir
we'll. Its advantages over other forms
Of arsenic is as follows:
First--It remains in suspension lon
ger than any other arsenical spray, and
hence requires but little agitation.
Second-It is very adhesive, but little
effected by rains, and therefore requires
less number OF applications.
Third-It is more pleasant to handle,
and can be used any strength without
injury to foliage.
The arsenate of lead has been highly
endorsed by the University OF California;
Professor Steadman, entomologist OF the
state OF Missouri; Professor Gillette OF
Colorado, and many other authorities.
In Colorado but three sprayings were
used; with excellent results. Professor
Steadman recommends four: lst, when
petals fall; End, two weeks later; Bird
thirty days after the second and 4th,
thirty days still later. II used with
Bordeau, the Massachusetts, station
recommends using only one-third OF the
arsenate.
The Merrimac Chemical Co, of Bos-
ton, send out paste form OF arsenate
OF lead known as Swift's Arsenate OF
Lead; and the Bowker Insecticide Co,
of New York, similar preparation
known as disparene, and both have given
excellent results 1t might be better tc
use one OF these when only a small
amount is required, and % lbs. Of either
will be sufficient for so gallons OF water
in which they dissolve readily. They
sell for about l5c per pound in l00-lb
kegs.
II you want TO make your own arsen
ate. you should see that the arsenate o
soda contains about AIS arsenic acid
and the'acetate Of lead about 58.8 avail

RAILROAD SPEED AS IT WAS rs
YEARS AGO AND AS IT IS NOW

morning, whore now there are four.
teen, All these fast mail trains are
run. as a rule, at a higher speed than
passenger trains,
One solid mail train between Chi
cago and Omaha makes five hours
better time than the ordinary passen'
ger train between the same points,
and two hours better time than the
fastest passenger train. Within five
years the time schedule for mail trains
between Chicago and New York has
been shortened by three hours, The
organization OF this mall service Is
practically OF more benefit to the
people at large than are the fast trains
for passengers,
More study has been given, prob.
ably. to the question OF speed with bus.
mess interests In mind, and with the
convenience OF the reading public In
mind, than to the organization and
speed Of the passenger trains that are
now exciting the attention OF the
world.
In twenty-five years all trains have
been run at greater speed, not as a
matter Of rivalry, but as a matter OF
utility. With every improvement In
the character Of the service, freight
and passenger, there has been an IN.
crease In railway business. LocomO.
tives, cars and roadbeds, all have been
changed to meet the growing demand
of short and long distance travellers,
and Of u ever increasing army Of

From the Chicago Inter Ocean,
Public attention is just now center.
ed on the extraordinary speed made
by railway passenger trains between
Chicago and New York. The achieve.
ments OF competing companies In cs.
tablishing an eighteen.hour schedule
between the two cities are certainly
remarkable, but are they more remark.
able than what has been accomplished
In the Improvement OF the railway
freight and mail service?
Not o than twenty-five years
ago there was a standing order on at
least one Chicago railroad that freight
trains must not run, under any circuM.
stances, at a higher speed than twelve
miles an hour. In many cases the
speed was below this. and there were
cases In which cars did not reach their
destination for sixty or ninety days.
Delays Of this kind were so frequent
that the average mileage Of freight
trains vas given In the reports at
seventeen to twenty-five miles per
day.
The organization OF fast freight
Companies showed what could be done
In the way Of speed. Cars gained In size
and strength, and freight service was
r~eorganized to meet urgent demands
from shippers of fruit, and freight
trains are now run at a speed of about
thirty miles an hour, with greatly in
creased profits to the railroads and
greater convenience to the public.
There has been, In fact, as notice.
able an improvement In the organiza.
ton of freight trains, in cars used,
and in the character Of the whole
freight service as there has been In
the passenger service. This remark
applies to the transportation Of live
stock, to the handling of perishable
fruits, to the shipment of fresh meats
and other products requiring refri.
gerator cars, as well as to the more
general business in which all shippers
are interested. A change from twelve
miles an hour to thirty and often
forty miles, with corresponding i'm
provement in cars and system, has
worked a revolution in the freight SER
vice of American railroads, and the
revenue from freight has increased
to 1888, 020,026 a year, which is three
times as large as the passenger re-
venue.
Twenty-Five years ago very little at
tention was given to what is now
known as the fast mail service.
Twenty years ago there were only two
fast mail trains leaving Chicago every
