CUTTLE BONE AND SEPIA.
Where They Come From and What
They Are Used For.

They Are Used For.
Cutie bone was once made use of as
a medicine. but it is now used by gold
smiths as a polish and by bird fanciers
as food for Gagged birds.
This cutie bone. so called. is no bone
at all, but a very wonderful structure
consisting almost entirely of pure chalk
and having been at one time loosely
imbedded in the substance of some de-
parted cuttlefish. 1t is an oval bone.
white and hard on the outside, but soft
and friable within. and is inclosed by
a membranous sack within the body Of
the cutie.
When the cuttle is living this struc-
ture runs through the entire length of
the abdomen and occupies about one
third Of its breadth. In weight cutie
bone is extremely light and if it be
cut across and examined through
lens the cause of the lightness will at
once be apparent. 1t is not solid, but
is formed of a succession of exceed
ingly thin floors of chalk, each con-
nected with each by hundreds of the
smallest imaginable chalky pillars.
Many persons attribute sepia, or Chi
nese ink, to the cuttlefish They are,
however. in error, for sepia is a manu-
facture of SCOT and fine gums. The err
ror may be due to the fact that the
cuttlefish has an internal sac under the
!. .'oat, near the liver, that contains a
very dark natural ink. When pursued
by enemies the cuttle elects this inky
substance and thereby forms a cloud
of darkened water all about it and
hides in this water until out of danger.

The common ami destructive onion
maGSot is the offspring of a small fly
very much like the house fly in APP
pearance. The eggs are laid on the
young onion plants in tho spring. Sew
eral generations are produced during
the season.
Remedial measures consist in repel-
ling the adult flies that come to lay
their eggs and in stimulating the young
plants to very vigorous growth by
means of commercial fertilizers and
cultivation. Pull out and destroy the
Young plants as soon as they show the
presence of the pests and do every
thing possible to stimulate the plants
to rapid growth. The best repellent
thus far discovered is carbolic acid
emulsion diluted thirty times and ap-
piled with a sprinkler. 1t will be nee
essary to repeat the application at in
tervals of about Il week, but good work
early in the season is sure to result in
reducing the number of the flies later
on.

Writing in the Chicago Tribune Ten
Eyck White points out that The Bron-
cho established six worlds records by
her great performance at Cleveland
on Friday. He says: The Broncho,
champion pacing mare. made her de-
but on the grand circuit today and
the occasion was a great triumph for
herself and driver. Charlie Dean. She
not only won easily the free-for-all
pace from fast field, towroping the
other horses at all stages, but Incl
dentally she hung up six new worlds
records, and stamped herself the great
est race horse PAGER ever seen. The
ned records established today by The
Broncho are these:
The fastest mile by pacing mare
in race. This record she lowered
twice during the afternoon. first by
stepping the opening heat in 1903. and
again by doing the third mile in
2:02A.
The fastest two consecutive heats in

performance beat that of Star Pointer.
made several years ago. his heats be-
ing 2:02h, 2:03h, 2:03A. The Bron-
cho's miles today averaged a quar-
ter of second faster than those of
Star Pointer.
The fastest first heat by mare in
race ,displacing the performance of
Hetty G.
The fastest second heat by a mare
in race. The second heat displaced
the record formerly held by Fanny
billiard. The Broncho herself held the
care record for pacing mares, 2:O3A
previous to today. and lowered 1t
twice.
The Broncho IN Playful Mood.
The day and track were first class
for great Performance and the mare
never was better. Indeed she felt so
good this morning she had play
spell in her stall and in the course of
her romp chewed up blanket or two
and buck jumped enough to warrant
her name. But on the race track she
was simply runaway PAGER Drawing
third position on the of side of Maud
Keswick and Hazel Patch, with Baron
Grattan and Nervolo outside Of her,
the little mare jumped away at the
word and had the pole before the turn
was fairly reached. After that 1t was

second place all the time and the rest
strung out. Baron Grattan having
made break on the first turn. The
Broncho paced to the quarter in :29h,
the half in 1:00k, the three-quarters
in 1:32A and then came home pretty
much as she liked in 1908, none Of the
others being within hail.
Dean Takes no chances.
There was no material change in the
second heat so far as first place was
concerned. The mare paced to the
quarter in 29A; she moved faster
down the back stretch than in the
previous mile, her time at the half be-
ing1:00h, and she also beat the first

heat record to the three-quarters, get
ting them In 1882. Had Dean wifled,
she could have stepped better than
2:OS. but he was bent only on winning
the race, SO he took the mare in, and
: In the last sixteenth, coming easily
under the wire In 2:O3N.
But in the third heat. which would
end the race, he went out after Star
Pointers record for three heats and
got 1t. Again The Br0ncho was at the
quarter In :29%. She was not hur-
ried and took herself back q little from
there, reaching the mile in l:O0%,
then she put on steam and came home
in 1:O2. which looked easy for her, and
the record was hers.
Sweet Marie Wins Free.Eer-AM.
The free-for-all trot was the big
event at the Grand Circuit meeting at
Cleveland with Sweet Marie strong
favorite. Wentworth and Snyder Nc
gregor went of In the lead at the word,
the latter pinching Wentworth on the
turn, forcing him to break. Snyder
McGregor led to the half, where Sweet
Marie came fast and trotted by him,
winning with ease in 2:O6.
Mcdonald allowed the two geldings
to again take the lead In the second
heat. but in the third quarters she
trOtted around them and won by q
length with the McGregor geliing
beating Wentworth by nose in a
driving finish.
1t was Sweet Marie all the way in
the third heat. the mile being 2:06N,
with the winner acting full of trot at
the finish. while her opponents were
under a strong drive.

A PERTINENT INQUIRY.

Upon the first page of THE OASIS this week there appears an arti- cle upon the insurance situation in Nogales, as developed by the un- fortunate difficulties that have been precipitated with the water company by the municipal gov ernment. Since that was in type a copy of letter from Mir. Field the manager of the Pacific Board of Fire Underwriters for this dis. trict, has been sent to this office, and without any apology the same Is presented herewith:
 BOARD OF FIRE UNDERWRITERS
 OF THE PACIFIC.
 Oct. 20, 1906. To the Honorable Mayor and Chairman
 of the Council
 Nogales, Arizona. Dear Sir
 We are in receipt of report from our representative, Mr. F. l.. Slaker, who recently visited Nogales, stating that the City of Nogales is practically with out fire protection owing to difficulty between the City of Nogales and the water company. I am writing to notify you that a credit in insurance rates has been granted at Nogales for fire pro- ,.I, l,l. Unless we can obtain some assurance that such protection as was heretofore provided will be re-established, it will be necessary to recommend to the in surance companies that such credit in nating that has been allowed Nogales be annulled and rates be placed on the basis of full Book 1, which applies to a town totally unprotected. We note from Mir. Slaker's report that the diff culty may be settled about the middle of November.
 Of course, if immediate action is to be taken, we will not pursue the course as stated, giving you reasonable time in which to straighten out any difficulties between the water com pany and the city. We must insist, however, upon such protection as has heretofore existed being established in the immediate future in order to con tinue present rates in force, and re- quest that hear from you on the sub ject
 The effect of disseminating fire pro- tecton would in all probability result ill the raising of rates as stated, and pos sibly have the effect of many companies reducing lines of insurance carried on property, or by the withdrawal of com panies entirely from the writing of bus iness in your town, so that 1 would urge that every possible effort be made to provide fire protection for your city, both for the interests of property holI- CTS as well as the insurance companies. Thanking you for the courtesy of an early reply in this matter, l remain,
 Yours truly,
 (Sigre ALEXANDER FIELp
 Manager.
 From the foregoing it is very evident that it is incumbent upor the town board to do something tC avert the impending loss to whicf property owners and business mer of Nogales will be subjected unles: the former measure of fire pro lection is restored. Insurance com

corporation, such conductas they have manifested would create va cancies in their jobs within twenty four hours.
 It is reported that there is to be a joint meeting of the town board and the water company this eve- ming to try and compromise the unfortunate differences now pre- vailing. For the sake of the peo- pie it is to be hoped that sense and reason will prevail.
