stem rust of oats is the same as that
which occurs on the wild meadow
oat grass and sometimes on orchard
grass. 1t probably occurs also on two
or three other wild grasses. The
black stem rust of wheat is known to
occur on several of the wild-wheat
grasses, or quack grasses, and on GER
tain wild-rye grasses will readily in
feet wheat. 1t is therefore of con-
siderable Importance to the farmer tC
know whether these grasses on his
farm are usually rusted; and if SO,
to try to avoid sowing the grain crops
near them. It's probable that fur.
ther experiments will determine what
other grasses, if any, harbor these
rusts, 50 that ali grasses that should
be kept away from the grain fields
may soon be definitely known, and
through such knowledge the farmer
may be enabled very largely to elimi.
nate the chances for the occurrence
Of rust in his fields"
It will be seen from the above that
seed from rusted wheat is not con-
sidered worthless by the government
provided it is otherwise capable Of
terminating and putting forth
growth. Weather, drainage and time
of seeding are the important things
which make or prevent rust damage.
To attempt to avoid infection by de-
stroying weeds and grasses that rust
is useless. The winds carry the spores
too far. Some varieties of Durum
are mentioned as being practically
immune from attack by rust, but as
they are really dry country wheats
their strength in this matter is not
likely to be tested very strongly mol
very often.
1t is not likely that rust will dc
widespread damage again very soo1
and it is to be hoped that be
fore it does the government will hav'
some practical remedy that can b.
made to control the effects befOr
they reach the stage Of total loss OF
large areas.

HERO OF VEsUv|Us
PROF. MATTEUCCI STICKS TO HIS
POST DURING ERUPTION.
Brave Director Of the Royal Observa-

Saved Naples from
Panic.

The world is just awakening to the
fact that Matteucci, the man who
braved Vesuyius in her most violent
moods and kept Naples informed and
prevented wild panic In the city, is the
hero OF the hour. During all those aw

Is the most violent outbreak since that
of A. ID. 10, when Pompeii and Hercu-
laneum were destroyed, we can begin
to understand the real sublimity of his
heroism
He has stayed there, In the ruins of
the observatory, early wrecked by the
hot ashes thrown from the crater of
the volcano. His friends implored him
to save himself, but he believed that
during this terrible time, If at any
time at all. his duty demanded that he
remain-that he could be of real help
to the many thousands OF people liv-
ing near the volcano by warning them

Not Dangerous.

A minister's small son had commit.
ted some minor domestic crime, ana.
fearing the wrath to come, had hidden
himself in the barn. A vigorous search
was made, but his hiding place was
undiscovered, and as the day passed
on his parents became alarmed. IL
was not until dark that the small fu-
gitive reappeared. and by that time
anxiety had overcome all other feel
ing in the fathers heart, so that his
sons appearance was hailed with re-
lief rather than anger.
