back that it WAS impossible.
"GoopBY.-

and then everybody listened breathlessly.
It was evident that just one instrument
had been left connected with the world
outside. In about ten minutes, or at 2;I5,
il began to click. Those who know the
telegrapher's language caught the word
SGoodby" and then che ticks stopped.
Il guess that ends it for a WHILE re-
marked Mr.. Bradley, but there's still the
chance that they may tap the cables some

Everybody waited for an hour then to
zee whether this was done. At the end
Of that time the instrument in the office
began to click again. It was from an
electrician by the name of Swain.

Wheat Nudge (DipIosis tritici), a, fe.

larger than mustard seeds, very diff
cult tc find, in which they remain In
til the following summer, when they
again issue as flies. However, many
of the larvae have not left the heads
by harvest time and these are carried
into the barn or stack; they soon be-
come dry and shrink away from their
skins, becoming ceased %larvae;" these
do not feed; they again become active
when thoroughly moistened, even after
having lain quiescent for more than
half a year. Since the chaff from the
threshing machine contains countless
numbers of these ceased larvae 1t
should be promptly burned; the bulk
of the straw can be put to it's custom
airy use without special danger. All
seed wheat should be well famed or
screened to prevent sowing nudge
larvae along with the seed. The
screenings should be burned.
The great majority of the flies are
always derived from the pupae buried
in old wheat fields. Rotation of crops
will be of some help in controlling
them, many of the flies becoming lost
and perishing while hunting new fields
in which to lay their eggs. However,
the only thorough remedy is to plow
the stubble under in the fall to such
a depth that the flies cannot make
their way to the surface the next year.
This should be done as soon after har-
vest as possible. Flowing to a depth
of eight or nine inches is sufficient.
Burning the stubble before blowing
will help. Neighborhood cooperation
In all these remedial measures is i'm

FOR GOOD ROADS.
What Pennsylvania Is Doing to I'M
prove Her Highways.

Pennsylvania thinks 1t has the most
liberal good roads law in the country
and thinks it is doing more to make
good roads than any other state in the
union. The law, which was passed in
1905, runs for five a and appro-
PIRATES a total for the states share
In making good roads, 1886, 232.
Nearly 100000 was expended for
the fiscal year of 1905 and for the
years 1906'07, each, S 1850, 900 is set
aside. For the next two years the an.
nual expenditure will be 1880, 900.
This represents three-fourths of the
sum expended. OF the remainder the
county pays one-eighth and the town.
ship one-eighth. The roads must be
permanent and the standard is very
hlgh. There is a state department of
highways, and when the state first be.
gan this system that department com.
planned that the counties and town.
ships refused to do, or were very slow
In doing their part. But the small
beginning won for itself, and now the
local bodies are most eager for the
work, making greater demands than
the appropriation can meet. The
amount of work already applied for
by the counties outruns the state ap-
preparation by millions of dollars. In
other words, the farmers, seeing what
good roads mean to them, are eager to
pay their part where the state helps
SO literally. In As of the &c counties
the entire amount allotted has been
absorbed. Chester county, for exam
pie, has made IL miles of road and
has applied for 10 miles more, which
exhausts its share of the state aid.
But 1t has additionally applied for
zzS miles more. Altogether the state
is SO pleased with the good roads ex
pertinent that it is believed the legis
lature will enlarge the appropriation.
Inc state treasury has a large surplus,
1t is proposed to exhaust it in CIV
ing the state Good roads.

Why PeopIe End rheIr Lives.


The New York World compiled a
page of interesting facts on the
growth of suicide, and gives the fol
lowing reasons why some persons end
ed their lives: Josiah B. Riddle, of
Jefferson City, Mo, because he wal
too fat. Irene Baltimore Boggins, Of
Atlantic City, because she had a new
lavender dress to be buried in. Pom
iepo Fulponi, of Chicago. because he
was in love with a marble statue OF
Venus. Mrs. William Thomas, of
Punxsutawney, Pa, because her hair
was turning gray. Herman Recyling,
OF West Hasleton, Pa, because he
missed a train. James Andrews, of
Oxford, Pa, because he had to speak
at commencement exercises before
girls. Mrs. Grace De Wolf, of st.
Louis, because she could not bear to
be separated from her sister-in-law.
Robert Lehman, of Des Moines, Ia,
because he believed his family re-
ferred to him when they sang Every.
body Works But Father" George
Hawthorne Smith, of New York, be.
cause he believed himself too old at
40 years. All of which goes to show
that human life does not weigh very
heavy, after all.

RadIum and Its revelations.

Radium and It's Revelations.
That the discovery of radium and
radio-activity has brought into ques-
ton some of the most firmly estab-
lished theories Of modern science Is
well known, but a recent address de
livered at York, England, by Prof.
Lancaster, the noted British scientist,
Indicates that the upsetting of pre-
vious conceptions has been greater
than is generally imagined. New
chemical elements have been revealed
In rapid succession in recent years,
but radium is the most wonderful of
all. It has raised up doubts concern
ing ideas that had been accepted as
the fundamental bases Of scientific
speculation. II has caused a new
study OF the atomic theory, opening
up the question whether the trans
mutability of elements may not after
all be a possibility. The number Of
new problems which may follow the
discovery of this extraordinary ele-
ment with its mysterious power of CIV
ing off energy from some source with.
in itself can even now be only con.
jectured. The question of the evolu-
tion of the solar system and the prob.
able age of the world will have to be
restudied in the light of the knowl.
edge brought by radium. Prof. Ian.
Ekester points out that heretofore all
the calculations as to the probable
past duration OF the earth and the
length of the various geological pc.
RODS have been based on the assump.
tion that the material of the earth was
s~eu-coollng. With the discovery that
la~Small quantity Of radium diffused
Through the earth would maintain it's
temperature against all loss by radia'
ton one of the most firmly established
theories Of the physicists becomes I'M
tenable. A fraction Of one per cent.
OF radium In the suns mass would
make good the heat annually lost by
1t. SO far as concerns this melted
OF calculation the biologists may have
TO revise their views entirely, extend
ing the probable past of the earth in
definitely. Prof. Lankester's words,
says the Chicago Daily News, open up
remarkable vistas as to the possibili-
ties Of new Investigations and illus
trate in a striking way the tentative
and uncertain character Of much of
that which has been accepted as truth.
Our knowledge Of all the greater phe-
nomena Of material nature seems,
after all, strangely limited and in
definite.
