Pear Blight.

A great many experiments have been
made TO learn something more about
pear blight, and the conclusion of many
fruit growers is that pear blight is In.
fectious, and may be transmitted from
one tree to another by incubation. II
is not confined to the pear, but may
attack other pomaceous fruits, as the
apple, ounce, English hawthorn and
June berry. 1t is more active and
progresses most rapidly upon young and
succulent portions Of the tree. Under
the microscope any bit Of the diseased
tissue shows incOnceivable myriads of
bacteria, which fill the water of the
slide in which it is mounted like a
cloud. 1t is, therefore, not necessary
in order to determine the progress of
the disease in a branch for the micro
scope will decide with absolute certain
ty. There can not be a rational doubt
that the disease is easily communicated
to other trees by birds and insects

there were a real crisis on hand. The
Quarterm aster- Generals office continues

are due In Newport News tonight or In

its way TO Cuba.
The b&g- ships OF the navy now IN Cuban
waters will probably be withdrawn before
long. There is really no eed for them
