Hard Pest to Fight

The treatment for root maggots Is
very difficult, owing to their manner
OF working upon the plants. The
treatment which Is recommended is
not entirely satisfactory at times. The
method of dealing with this pest,
which has seemed most satisfactory
up to the present time, has been to
watch the different stages OF the in
sect and when the first maggots ap-
pear to be working in the plants 1t is
the practice to open furrow away
from the plants and sprinkle into This
furrow a quantity OF tobacco dust,
afterwards recovering the furrow.
Another method is to apply at This
time carbOlic acid emulsion mad, in
the proportion Of one pint crude car
bolic acid, one pound soap and one
gallon water. This should be diluted
in 30 parts water and applied near
the plants along the row. Either OF
these treatments Will in general be
somewhat satisfactory. We are at
present planning to take up the onion
maggot problem during the coming
season and hope we may be able to
get more conclusive results.-H. e.

The New York Tribune recently
gave a most interesting series OF pic
lures of the vigorous young specimens
OF American manhood chosen to up
hold this country's athletic fame
against all the world at the approach
ing Olympic games in Greece" and in
looking at the various pictures of the
vigorous specimens we felt our re-
proach is being taken away, that we

Olympic games, for even the east now
recognizes the western athlete. There
is Archie Hahn, Milwaukee Athletic
association, who will compete in the
100meter dash, and +. II. Moulton,
Kansas City Athletic association, in
the 400-meter run. +. b. Glover, Chi
cago Athletic association, Is recognized
as one of the best pole vaulters in the
west.
In the Olympian games held in 1896
the Americans won all of the short
foot races, and Thomas Burke, OF Bos-
ton, had such an easy time of 1t in the
400-meter race that he slackened his
last few steps to walk. Asked why
the Greeks fell behind, he said they
were like housekeeping horses, who
make wonderfully fine appearance
but waste no little of their energy in
going up in the air instead of ahead.
But If the modern Greek showed
himself inferior in short distance runs,
he won out in endurance. In the long
runs the Greek changes his method.
Then he strikes heightened gait,

sports will be of great interest. There
will be swimming matches of 100, 400

the channel crossed in modern times
by Capt. Webb.
Then let us take the celebrated Mar
athon race. when Phidippides ran from
the battlefield of Marathon to Athens
to tell the great news, and arrived
there and fell dead from exhaustion.
In 1896 the winner of the Marathon
race in the revived Olympian games,
made the distance between Marathon
and Athens in less time than 1t Is esti-
mated the famous race of history was
run, and though greatly fatigued at the
finish. declared after an hours rest
that he felt strong enough to run
again.
An interesting feature in our CON-
parison is the part taken by Ameri-
cans. an intensely modern people, in
the games of classic renown. A writer
In the New York Tribune says: THE
Greek OF to-day at all events has
proved himself inferior to the Ameri-
can in the sport which Homer speaks
OF as the delight Of the most ancient
Hellenic kings. Greatly disappointed
ny W CdptuiC tlC loot
race prizes, the Greeks at the Athenian
games of 1896 were certain of victory
IN throwing the discus. The Greek
contestants, who preceded the foreign
participants, made this feeling of tri-
umph in the hearts of the Athenian
spectators all the more sure. They
struck such graceful attitudes that
each recalled the beautiful statue of
the Discobolus, which has been called
by Byron "a poem Of strength After
the classic performance of the Greeks
the awkward antics of the American
were greeted with much good-natured
laughter. Yet, despite his lack of
grace, Capt. Garrett, of Princeton, who
had never had discus in his hands
until three days before the event, won
the contest. He threw the platter"

CORE OF THE EARTH METAL
Great Density Of Formation Suggests
the Probability Of Such
Condition.

Is the middle of the earth made Of
metal? Experiments on the gravita-
tional attraction between small masses
give us the means Of determining the
average density of the earth, and 1t
has always been considered remark
able that the density thus found, five
and half times that Of water, is far
higher than the mean density of the
rocks which constitute those parts Of
the earth accessible to us. These lat
ter have not more than two and a half
or three times the density of water.
1t does not seem probable that any
pressure in the interior, however
great, could explain so great a differ
ence. 1t must be assumed that the in
terror rs made OF totally different
material from the outside. The great
density Of the earth suggests that in
all probability its core Is of a metallic
nature. 1t is significant that the me-
teorite, the only planatry bodies of
which we can examine the interior,
are composed for the most part of
nickel iron. The inference becomes al
most Irresistible that the iron bearing
rocks are samples Of the deep interior,
which by rare and exceptional chance
have been .extruded to the surface by
volcanic agency.

A writer discussing various phases
OF the Olympic games, remarks that
one result of their revival has been to
rob the ancient athlete OF his renown.
And then makes good by giving COM
PARSONS. We are informed that those
much lauded youths of ancient en-
deavor were not nearly such good
men" as cur heroes of to-day Which
all seems very revolutionary and up
setting to the romanticist, but very
patent to anyone that has followed
sports. The phrase SWAN the Helles-
pont' suggests highest courage, re-
markable endurance-until cold facts
are stated, until one learns that the

NO BALLOON ASCENSION
AlbeIt Pahsuds Said At Was Too
 Strong to Make the TrlsI.

The balloon ascension at Lake wood has been called on. after a series of alleged attempts on the part of the aeropaut. Albert Patnaude. to get oil the earth. The man was scheduled to make his first rise iu the local world on Monday, but 1t was too late when he reached town to do anything that day. Tuesday a number of trees were cut down. the usual trench was dug in which the hot air is manufactured that inflates the balloon, the hot air of the poli- ticians who dined there last Satur- day being considered vapid. Yester- day, however, everything seemed pro- pitOus for a glorious ascension. More trees were cut down to make room for the hot air bag when it would be thoroughly inflated. The event was advertised on all the troll ley cars and in the papers and big crowd was on hand to witness this grand flight by the greatest of all great aerial steeple chasers, Albert Patnaude.
 But the grand ascension did not take place. Panhandle at the last mo- ment backed down. He said there was too strong an air current up above and no sane balloonist would dare take trip under the circum- stances. So 1t was all called of and the mans contract was cancelled.

George ?. Wooley Lost Leg on May
 8 In Accident


 George F. Wooley, who was a roll CT for the Chase Rolling Mills Go up to May 23, when he lost part of his left leg, has brought suit against the Connecticut Railway and Lighting Co for $5.000 damages On May 23 Wooley was a passenger on trolley car. The dog law was on at that time and he had taken his dog for an airing down to Naugatuck. On the return trip Wooley was standing on the front platform of the car. his dog near him. Approaching Platts Mills, the car was going at dangerous and unlawful speed. he alleges in his complaint. The car gave a lurch and Wooley was thrown out and the wheels of the car pass&A over the left leg below the knee, and also cut off the dogs front legs. The car was immediately stopped, the dog was shot to put 1t out of misery and pain, and all possible haste was made to get the injured man to the hospital, where, as soon as was prudent, the leg was >amputated. Now, through Kennedy and Cassidy, Wooley claims he has expended $700 for an arti- cial leg, and the whole blame for the accident he puts on the company.
