PASSING OF THE PAMPAs.
Vegetable Plunes of California Are
Fast Losing Their Pop
ularity.

No one who has ever seen a
pampas field with it's thousands
Of creamy white plumes but
will regret the fact that the
pampas is rapidly disappearing
from it's accustomed haunts in
California. Though it is Of far
less Importance than the timber
wealth of the state, it's loss is a
real sorrow to the lovers Of ma
ture.
The pampas patches are being
uprooted, for the industry Of
raising and coloring the plumes
is dying out. There have been
many large pampas ranches
along the coast in southern Cali
fornia, but the recent dry wealth
er has made it possible to pull up
the plants without making large
holes in the soil aad the ranch
men are taking advantage of it.
These ranches have been one
of the most picturesque features
Of the landscape. The fields are
usually from 40 to so acres in ex-
: tent and are closely set with
great conical mounds of green
10, IL and IA feet high. From
the top of these mounds rise
some 2OG ~feathery plumes OF
creamy white, which have never
failed to call forth EXPLANATIONS
of delight from those who have
beheld the sight. When the
plumes attain a certain stage of
ripeness they are picked by hand
and with greatest care, for each
mound is set with sharp saw
teeth which might infict a dan
gerous wound to a careless hand
The planes are then spread out
in a dry field to cure in the sun
If this is not properly done the
feathers fall off and the plumes
are spoiled. A 6eld covered with
these drying p:r2es is a sight
peculiar to southern California
which is we'll worth seeing. Nc
wonder the destruction of these
ranches has aroused general dis
satisfaction.

Spheres Within Spheres.

There Is a new theory of tho
earth's interior. 1t is believed by
Mr.. Beresford Ingram, a physio.
list of England, that the
earth embraces three concentric
spheres, or three spheres within
spheres. The solid nucleus he
supposes to be between 5000 and
1000 miles in diameter and this
to be surrounded by a liquid sub.
stratum, outside of which is the
crust, %variously estimated at 20
to 1000 miles in thickness. More
than two centuries ago a similar
theory, including the slow rota.
ton of the inner solid sphere on
a different axis from that of the
entire globe, was held by DR.. Ed
mund HALEY to account for the
changes in the earth's magnet
ism. The axis of the nucleus was
thought originally to have been
that of the entire globe. The
earth's internal heat, it is now
pointed out, may be accounted
for by the friction Of the differ.

Most Degraded Of Men.

The last man on the Santa
Barbara islands was deported in
1853. Our knowledge of these
extinct Indians off the California
coast is derived from the ao.

quently settled on the islands.
and from the remains in their
refuse heaps and the skulls and
skeletons which have from time
to time been collected. Some OF
the islands probably at one time
had a population approaching
1000 each, but in 1923 only about
900 were left on Santa Barbara
and the neighboring ~islets; and
by 1875 all had disappeared. AL.

cells, MI. Doolittle has a little pan of
beeswax kept hot by means of a
lamp; also a cup of water. Seating
himself before a table he is now ready
for work. Taking one of these cell

water, after which he plunges it about
ntne-sixteenths of an inch into the
melted wax. He then lifts it up and

dips it again, but not quite so deep
and twirls it as before. He proceeds
thus until the cup is dipped seven or
eight times, but each time dipping it
less depth or within one-thirty second
inch of the previous dipping. The
main thing is to secure a cup having
a thick heavy bottom, but which will
have a thin and delicate knife-edge at
the top or at hat point at which the
bees are supposed to begin their work.

Forming Queen Cells
from Cell Cups
BY A. I. ROOT.

The use of cell cups permits the
raiser of queens to produce more
queens than he otherwise would. The
cups are fastened on the hive inside,
as illustrated here. The larvae are
placed in the cups and the bees ex.
tend the queen cells downward, as they
would do naturally. Of them A. ].
Root says:
MANY times when an apiar1st Is
going through his yard, he can cut
out embryo cell cups such as the bees
make. These can be utilized at some
future time for the purpose of graft
ing. But such cells after they are
gathered are exceedingly frail. irreg-
ular in shape, will not bear much
handling; and most of the time n
cannot find enough. Mr.. Doolittle was
the man that first conceived the idea
of making artificial cellcups that
should not only be regular in form,
but of such construction as to stand
any reasonable amount of handling.
Contrary to what M might expect,
such cells are just as readily accepted
by the bees as those they make in the
good, old-fashioned wayj and what is

is a very important point, as the only
successful way to combat bugs is to
keep everlastingly after them.
While the dust process is somewhat
new as yet, the general indications are
that for leaf eating insects, such as
the cabbage worm, potato beetle and
canker worm OF the orchard, it is very
effective. On the other hand, for
fungous diseases the liquid process
seems to give much better results.

DUST SPRAY TO COMBAT
CABBAGE WORM.

One of the most difficult features
of cabbage growing is the combating
of the cabbage worm. The liquid
sprays of paris green or other poisons
are reasonably successful if per-
formed in time, but have the objec-
ton that frequent applications are
necessary, and this requires consider
able time and labor, making the work
expensive.
Recently the dust form Of applica.
ton has been suggested and tried
with very good success in some sec
tons. 1t has the advantage owe the
liquid spray in being very much easier
and quicker applied, as the cumber-

be a fusion bet ween the regular Democrats

But His BROOKLYN Friends Believe He
would Aecep a Nomination for Governor.
Many personal and political friends OF
Justice William j. GaynOr dropped in to
see him yesterday at his chambers in the
Appellate Division Court in the Borough
Hall, Brooklyn, in regard to the mixed up
situation at Buffalo. Among the callers
were Col. James ID. Ball. chairman Of the
Democratic county committee; former
Surrogate George b. Abbott and Charles
r. Dunning of Goshen, \. Y. They ex-
pressed the hope that Justice Gaynor
would not decline the nomination for low
ernor in case it should he rendered TO him,
but would consider it his duty to lead the
party in its crisis.
While Justice Gaynor declined TO make
anv abatement for publication, it was the
general impression among his friends last
night that he would not refuse u hChi.na-
ton. and that Senator McCarren before
his departure for Buffalo had received
assurances from the Justice to that effect.
