nematodes living within the stem,
killing out of spots in leaves through
nematOdes in the tissues at these
points. and injured canker-like spots
on the roots. The latter are caused
by nematOdes attacking the roots from
the outside without entering them.
The life history of the rOOt-knOt
nematOde is in short as follows: The
eggs, which are about 1900 inch long,
hatch into little larvea about LOO
inch long, and about 10000 inch thick
These possess at the anterior end,
a stout spear. Crawling around in the
soil they finally find roots, perhaps
not for weeks after they are hatched.

bores into it by means of it's spear.
taking its place near the center, paral-
lei to the axis of the root, with the
anterior end directed away from the
root tip. The necessary nOurishment
is sucked out of the surrounding tissue
through the spear which is hollow.
Growth is rapid now, and soon the
nematOde begins to increase i'm thick

The tip of the root continues to
grow. The tissue about the nematode

If but one nematOde has entered, the
knot remains small, usually, but often
the infections are not single and
several to many nematOdes come to
lie close together or at short intervals

ones to be formed. The nema-
tOde's increase in thickness continues
until it is fiask-shaped. At this stage

The egg laying begins, and continues
until 40O-5OO eggs have been laid. AS

times requires eight weeks.
The injury to the plant is of two
kinds. direct and Indirect AS direct
injury may be considered that due to
the reduction or stoppage of the
passage from the roots of water and
dissolved mineral foOd-stuffs, due to
the tangling and interruption of the
water conducting vessels in the knot
ted roots, also the injury to the plant
due to the diversion of food-stuffs to
build up the tissue of the knot instead
of building UP the rest of the plant.
Then direct injuries, although un-
doubtedly harmful, rarely cause the
death of the affected plants The in
that the soft abnormal tissue of the
knot is attacked by various organisms
of both fungOuS and animal nature,
causing decay to set in which may
involve the whole root system and
thereby kill the plant. Many fungi
find easy entrance in this way. SO,
for example, the fungus causing wilt
of cotton attacks plants suffering with
rOOt-knOt much more vigorously and
destructively than those that are not so
infested
Many plants are attacked so slightly
that the injury is very slight or not
even apparent Such plants, however.
owing to the large number of eggs laid
by single worm, serve the purpose
of keeping the soil well stocked with
nematodes.

Hello Tom! What up?"
Best thing I know is the
Easter egg hunt. "
Easter egg hune?"
Yep. At the Lee-Grant

More fun than anything we've
had in a coon's age"
who is giving it?"
"St. Mathews church"
Can I go2"
Course every body can, all
the boys and girls I know are
going. You have to take ten
cents to help the church and
then you can hunt all you want.
There's going to be a gold egg
and whoever finds it gets prize.
There are two other prizes, too.
What are they?"
That's a secret. Be sure t.

EASTER DECORATIONS

Among the Easter decoration
in the business houses, we
notice the Grant street window
of Wilcox and Dorminey, which
displays a pretty arch of ever
greens and flowers surmounted
by the words "Easter-1906. :"
On Central avenue the Williams
store overfows with pretty
things of the season and two
genuine Belgian Hares blink at
the passersby. Living, healt by
they are.
On Grant street Hussey and
Parrots Bicycle store is some
thing out of the usual order with
it's show window of all manner
of electric attachments, but the
prettiest of all is the big hang
ing "Arc-Burst" surrounded by
frosty white glass bulbs that are
elegant when lit up and beside
it is the chandelier with its deli
cately tinted cups. 1t is pride
showing desire to excel that
helps build up a town. If you
have good idea let the public
know it, and they will soon seek
you out.

The Japanese Soldier.

The Japanese soldier is more like
the soldier of julius Caesar than the
world has seen since Rome fell. The
authorities in Japan are not troubled
by dissatisfied members of the army
writing home imaginary grievances.
The japanese soldier is allowed to
send nothing home in the way of mail
but card, containing no information
save that he is well. He is not al
lowed to tell where he is. He sub
merges his personality below his char
acter as a fighting citizen. He is a
unit in a great whole. He has no feel
ings for self. He is soldier of Japan.
And yet he is humane and not cruel
This was not said of the Roman sol
der. The little brown man is the
marvel of the twentieth century.

BIRDS THAT CAN TALK.
Species with Thick, Rounded Tongues
Are the Best.

People used to think that it was nee
essary to cut the nerve of birds
tongues in order to make takers of
them. But it is well understood now
that such cruelty is quite unnecessary.
The raven on account of the size of
its tongue, can articulate words quite
well. Ravens and jays (which repeat
single words after people, are favorite
pets with the peasants of the Thur
ingian forests in Germany.
In order to speak distinctly birds
must have thick, rounded tongues, and
the muscle must be loose. Parrots
tongues answer these requirements
best, hence they are the best takers.
Next to them come ravens, jackdaws
and jays. The hooded crow and the
carrion crow can also be taught to
speak.
The red and blue macaw is the finest
and most expensive variety of talking
parrot. as well as one of the largest
varieties.

False Prophet Brought Death.

Just before the opening of the Kaffir
rebellion in South Africa. 80 years ago,
the soothsayers bade the tribes kill
their cattle and destroy their crops of
grain. The spirits of their ancestors
We're to arise and help them to ex-
terminate every white man in the
country. The advice was solemnly ac,
cepted. When the day of the great up
rising arrived many of the rebels
were already starving But there
came no ghostly herds of cattle out
of the earth, no crops not sown with
hands. Grim, terrible famine swept
over the land. and in the months
which followed. although the author.
tiles did everything in their power to
mitigate its horrors. 10000 victims of
a false prophet starved TO death.

Next Theatrical Attraction.

"Wedded, but no Wife," which will ap.
pear at the opera bouss Sunday, Nov.
%, is said to be the most magnifcently
presented comedy drama ever offered to
the theatre going public, while in Incl
dent and theme it is one Of the most
powerful, every climax breaking with al
most volcanic intensity. So much, by
way OF introduction. To go into the play
itself nothing can be said to detract from
it's worth. In the entire company from
the actor who nterprets the leading role
down to the mere stage loiterers, there
is not one single person who has been
negligently selected or unintelligently
cast. This comedy. drama, which lacks
all the melodramatic thunder Of by. gone
days, it is new and unknown, but cannot
remain 80 for its magnificent staging at
once becomes it's herald aud sounds its
own alarm. Nothing has been sacrificed
to appearances, for there is brought to.
gether series Of incidents that hold the
interest as has nothing that has come
before it. The situations, the motives.
the characters commingle without the
least jarring or tugging or straining, Civ
ing pleasant finish to story that is
said to be taken from life. The climaxes
develop quickly and break magnificently,
while the lighter moments are as rolling
as Sousa's marches, the sentimental frag.
ments being truly natural and the CON-
-dv hits ms sparkling MS the lights which
mdorn the stage.

PERSONAL MENTION APEX AND VICINITY

Alec Newton OF Elk park, has been
spending several days Of the past week
in Central City.
The cold weather has prevailed in this
section for the past week, being handi-
cap to the miners who have had to go
any great distance to their work. But
then our mines are mostly situated with
in easy walking distance from Apex.
MIR. Merrill B. Wolfe and Miss Amy
Sheets we're married a week ago last
Monday in Central City. This announce.
ment, although. very agreeable sur
prise to the residents Of this place, was
hardly looked for at this date, although
it has been understood by all that the
marriage would take place at Christmas
time. Mrs. Wolfe left for her home in
Nebraska on the afternoon Of her mar
riage, but she is expected to return in a
week or SO. Mr.. Wolfe has be,n a resi-
dent of Apex going on two years, coming
here from the Middle park country, his
home being in Ohio. He has been fore
man Of the Mackey mine for the past
year, which position he now holds, and
has proved himself capable and efficient
to all emergiences in that capacity. 1t
is pleasure to transact business with
Mr.. Wolf, always pleasant and jovial, ,and
in the best of spirits and good word
for all. He is steady, sober and indus
trious young man. Mrs. Wolfe is new
addition to our circle, and a pleasing one
at that She has only been. with us for
few months, coming here from Denver
and taking a position as stenographer
with the Imperial Gold Mining and Mill
| ing company. Duiing her residence
among us she has made many friends.
She is the soul of goodness in itself, and
we hope it will be four good fortune to
retain Mr.. and Mrs. Wolfe as residents
Of Apex. We are quite sure that the
Observer and their many friends in the
county, join with us in wishing them
prosperity and that their welded life
will be happy one.

the Imperial company, is figuring on

New Idea In Railroading.

1t is proposed by German engineer
to use balloons for railway purposes.
A stationary balloon Is fixed to slide
running along a single steel rail. This
rail is carried up the side Of a steep
mountain. The balloon is moored by
a steel cable to the rail. at a height of
about 80 feet above the ground. The
conductor can cause the balloon to
ascend or descend at WILL The lifting
power is furnished by hydrogen gas,
and the descent is caused by water
pressure poured into a large tank at
the upper end of the road.

GETS HINT IN wH,TTLINo.
Inventor Discovers Wood Valuable
for a Homely Purpose.

Heer is an instance of showing that
obedience to the whiting conscience
fs still cause of inventions, says the
Scientific American. H. s. Hopper
was driving through one of the south
ern swamps some time ago, when he
cut down reed, which he used for
whip. 1t followed, of courses, that
he cut off a chip from the end of
the reed and used it for a tooth
pick.
He noticed that the chip was hard
and durable, and yet pliable and for the
purpose, was much better than the
article commonly on sale. Acting on
the suggestion, he has designed an
automatic machine which makes an
excellent grade of toothpicks from the
reeds in the southern swamps. A
factory has been built at Bowers Hill,
Norfolk county, Virginia, and the
business inaugurated.
A reed is cut into suitable lengths
without and set of radial knives is
made to split the tubular reed into
pieces the size of toothpick. Be
fore splitting the ends the tubular
sections of the reed are reamed out
by tapering reamers, which remove
the pith or soft interior, so that the
splitting forms toothpicks with taper
ing ends Of hard, tough material.
