Take the Insects in Time.

The time to begin the fight against
insects is before they appear. That
is, it is safest to treat the plants that
may be affected as if they were al
ready affected. We used to have q
thriving plantation of currant bushes.
There were eight rows and each row
was about thirty feet long. VI -7ere
careful to manure the ground ,,ell and
spade it up every season. During the
growing season we hoed the ground
over whenever there was a sign of
weeds coming up.
The result was that we obtained a
very good crop of currants each year.
and it was always a delight to pick
them, they hung in. such lar &c clus-
tiers. From this currant patch came
jars of currant preserves and numer-
GUS glasses Of currant jelly for the
use of the family during the winter.
We didn't Know anything about the
imported currant worm or the i'm
ported currant borer, and if we had
we might have saved that currant
plantation. One year we found the
leaves covered with the currant worms
which we now know to be the i'm
ported currant worms. With them
must have been also many individuals

the maggot Matching from the egg of
the imported currant borer at once
burrows into the stem and kills it, BY
eating the pith. Had we sprayed the
bushes with hellebore in the spring

FACTS ABOUT FIREWORKS.
What the Stars Really Are and Where
ssCelebration Fire" Gets It's
Varied Colors.

The art of making and using these ar
ticles is known as pyrotechny, an art
which is so old that its origin is obscure,
but which China and Japan developed
ages ago. 1t was not, however, until the
fourteenth century, says the Chicago
Daily. News, that fireworks became
known to western nations, although
green fire had been used in Europe an
warfare for long time before that date.
Fireworks were used in public pa
geantry in Europe, according to the
records, in 1888. The early development
of fireworks in Europe was duo to the
Florentines and for a long time the
Italians maintained their supremacy in
this field.
In roman candles the stars or balls
of fire are made up of gunpo wder ingre-
dients, mixed with light-glving materi-
ais, compacted into hard masses by the
aid of gum or shellac. These rest on
loosely confined layers of granulated
gunpowder interspersed between we'll
compacted masses of slow burning COM
position, all inclosed in the usual card
board case. The stars are hollow and
provided with piece of quickmatch,
with which they are fired. When the
candle is lighted the priming powder :s
inflamed and this sets fire to the COM
position, or dark fire." which slowly
burns with the production of flame ami
sparks until the star is reached. Then the
grained gunpowder upon which it rests
is ignited, burns rapidly and expels the
star with loud report.
To produce the colored fire, metal fl
ings are added to the gunpowder compo-
sition; steel filings for brilliant fire or
cast iron filings for Chinese fire. Cop
per filings give greenish tint to the
fame; zinc filings give fine blue color;
powdered magnesium, dazzling white
light. amber, colophony or common salt
afford yellow fire. Lampblack pro-
duces very red color, with gunpowder,
and a pink with inter in excess, and is
used for making golden showers. Verdi
girls impartsa pale green; sal ammoniac,
palm tree green; barium salts, a grass
green; potassium picrate, a whistling
sound; camphor, very white fame and
aromatic fumes.
Torpedoes or throw-downs'' are gem
orally compositions of CELEBRATES or
CELEBRATES and sulphur, with gravel to
give the device weight, all wrapped in

ed a firecracker of compressed air to
take the place of the present giant

POINTS ABOUT ToRNADoEs
Season Of Their Prevalence, Their De-
velopment and How to
Escape Them.

It is now the season when that part
of the United States Immediately east
of the Rocky mountains, and especially
the great central plateau, is subject to
the visitation of terribly destructive
storms frequently called cyclones, but
more properly tornadoes.
The usual season is from April until
July, inclusive, although the storms
sometimes occur much later, says
Youths Companion.
All storms are cyclones. The ordi-
nary cyclone develops slowly, covers q
large area, moves slowly, and disap-
pears only after many hours or days.
The tornado is sudden and extremely
violent, moves in narrow path, and
is quickly over. Tornadoes are seldom
more than 500 yards wide, and often are
not more than 80, limited frequently to a
few miles in length and Usually to hum
dred Or so, but capable of terrible de-
struction during their short working
day. The motion is spiral, in direction
opposite to that of the hands of clock,
and upward. The velocity has never
been accurately measured.
The case of tornado Is supposed to
be the successful attempt Of layer OF
dry-heated air to force its way up
through layer of cool, moist air which
overlies it. The sudden uprush creates
a vacuum, toward which the surround
ing air rushes from every direction. It
takes a whirling motion for the same
reason that considerable body of wa
ter wnirls when it begins to escape from
the outlet in kitchen sink.
Tornadoes usually, although not in.
variably, travel from southwest to
northeast, just as do ordinary storms
The United States weather bureau de.
clares that it is seldom possible to pre-.
dict them and never possible to preven:
them, butgives certain general rules fol
safety which may be followed by one
who sees tornado approaching. They
are:
I. Stand facing the advancing cloud
and il it is coming straight toward you
fee to the right
2. Take refuge in the lowest avail
able structure, cellar or cave, if pos
sible; otherwise
3. Throw yourself on the ground and
cling to stake or stump.
For the comfort of those who live il
a tornado country it may be said thai
scientists have estimated the chance
that any given square mile will be Wis
tied as coming only once in q thousand
years.
