Forests Unnatural Death,

The life Of nearly all forests is cut
short by fire or by the hand of the
lumberman. When a spruce forest is
entirely destroyed by fire, young
spruces do not at once spring up and
cover the burned area. The seed
bearing cones have been burned, and
the spores and seeds Of other plants
which are readily carried by the wind
hnd their way in first. The task of
preparing for the forest is begun
again, but this time it is to be a
shorter one. The first year after the
fire, moses and often tiny Towering
plants appear. These are replaced by
the fireweed. and other flowers whose
seeds are provided with hairs so that
they reach such places quickly. These
are soon joined by raspberries, roses
and other bushes. Among these the
young seedlings of aspens appear in
very few years. The latter grow
rapidly and in a score Of years form
low sunny forest. An aspen forest
makes brilliant contrast with the
dark green forests of spruce.

ROTTEN POTATOES.

The infection Of the potatoes with
the fungus which produces rot occurs
chiefly, if not entirely in the field be-
fore digging; the infection is usually
the result of diseased vines and in
most cases the disease is not trans
mitted directly from the vine, but in
directly through the soil; also, pota-
toes may be infected directly in the
field from spores introduced into the
soil the preceding year. Experiments
with dry Bordeaux mixture and SOL
uble Bordeaux mixture show that
both these are less effective as pre-
ventives Of blight and subsequent rot
than the regular Bordeaux mixture.

naturalists thought that they had

when they discovered the young crabs
In the various stages of growth. One
they called nauplius, and another a
coca. We use these same names now
to denote the stages of DEVELOPMENT
through which the little crab passes.
Mr.. Frank auckland says in describ-
ing one which has just left the egg:
"A google eye, hawks beak, a scor-
pion's tail. rhinoceros's horn, adorn
q body fringed with legs. yet scarcely
bigger than a grain of sand"

three pairs Of legs. and one eye in the
middle of the head. Next comes the

we're it unarmed; but when they see
the threatening spines they pass it b.,
unnoticed. Next comes the megalopa
stage, in which the legs are we'll de-
veloped. Other stages follow. until at
last it comes out a perfect copy of its
parents.
Once all crabs lived in the sea and
breathed by means of gills. After a
time there were some kinds which
thought. after experimenting, that a
life on land would be better than re-
naming always in the water. In this

LIFE OF FRUIT TREES PRO-
LONGED

| American cOnSuls to Germany, In
recent reports, advise this Govern
ment of some very important discov-
| cries relating to horticulture. Thus
| far. results have demonstrated their
value They refer to experiments
tested for the purpose of prolonging
the life of fruit trees. A solution OF
the sulphate of iron is used, and this
was at first injected under the bark
of the tree so as to cause it to 30
into the sap flow or circulation. Sub
sequently it was found best to inject
the fluid through an opening of the
bark at the neck of the roots. Analy
sis Of the tree sap has shown that
the ircn fluid penetrates deep in the
ground, flowing through the roots and
the new branches or new wood to the
very top of the tree, though, singular
enough, examination shows that the
fluid does not enter the old wood Of
the tree. The whole process is for
the purpose of reinvigorating and
thus prolonging the life and increas-
ing fruitage of the trees, and is much
the same as that of anemia CT the
grapevine for the same object.
These scientists are now conduct
ing further experiments looking to-
ward the use of fluid to be injected
into fruit trees for the purpose of de-
stroying the bacteria which causes
pear blight and fungus diseases which
kill trees, thus with some fluid to cir
culate in the sap flow to at least neu.
tralize the effect Of the bacteria to
which these diseases are traced.
These tests proceed on the basis Of
of both the causes OF de-
cay and death, much as medical
science proceed in the matter Of hu-
man disease, viz: first finding the
cause Of decay.
In the instances relating to fruit
trees. as in human ailment, a certain
species of bacteria has been found to
be the cause, and to reach it they are
injecting into the circulation the kind
of fluid that will arrest the ravages

The Mines at Cactus Peak.


Frank Jardine, manager of the Utah
na-Goldfeld company's properties at
Cactus Peak, about "a miles east of
Goldfeld, arrived in the latter place
recently, according to the Sun, with ore
to be assayed which gives promising
values.
This company owns five claims, we'll
known as being the Ida group, and the
formation on these is certainly a very
interesting study. Mr.. Jardlne started
work alongside of a jutting quartz ledge
which can be traced for miles, because
there was a soft deposit like manganese
OF fog iron, placed there no doubt by
the action of the thermal spring. This
deposit, or seeming deposit, contains
round boulders or accretions, from the
size of ones fist to the size of the
average human head. At a depth of 10
feet all this merged into the ledge upon
which work will be continued to an in
difnite depth. Assays have been OBJ
tanned all along this depth with increas-
ing values every foot.
There is a suspicion on the part of
Mr.. Jardine that owing to the surface
material being of an aqueous formation
the values have been carried down and
he proposes to go after them. He
thinks it strange that the ledge should
be so hard and quartzy on the surface,
and yet so soft but tough at a depth of
10 feet, but the drilling at this depth is
easy. For the past few months a few
men have been kept at work on this
property doing superficial work in the
way of t%renching, etc.
Take it all in all, Mr.. Jardine thinks
the entire district of Cactus Peak is one
of the most interesting in the State
from a geological and mineralogical
point Of view, and so far as his own
property is concerned he likens it in its
formation and other peculiarities to the
famous Bassick mine of Colorado,
which also had these boulders, some OF
which carried remarkably high values.
Much work, he says, is being done all
over the district, but still at the present
time it has not the prestige of glamor
of some other camps.
A gentleman in from the Cactus a
few days ago says that a strike Of high
grade ore was made on the Campbell
claims which lie between the Mcmahon
and Utabna properties. Returns from
the rock brought in have not been re-
ceiged, but as it is of a sort of base
sulphide The probability seems to be
chat &c II run well.
