Rot Threatens State Fruit.

Harrisburg Especially State Eco
nomic Zoologist Surface said that
the hot moist weather which has
prevailed for a number of days has
had the effect of causing insect pests
and plant diseases to multiply with
their customary rapidity. Fruit Is
rotting rapidly.
Immense loss of grapes and
peaches by rotting threatens the
fruit growers" Prof. Surfaces note

GOOD, IF UASE4soNABLE.

What was the matter with vester-
day? Nothing, except it was "unsea-
sonable." and after what we have had
we can easily overlook that Indeed, it
was no more unreasonable than those
rainy days and so much more pleasant
that we could well afford to rejoice in
it. 1t was a day to "call the squirrel
and the bee from cut their wintry
home" 1t did call out the squirrel,
and he frisked about on the Green as if
he felt safe in being out. We hope it
also did something toward calling the
grip out Of the many homes in which
1t has established itself
OF course it is too much to expect
that the winter is over and gone, but
we can now be pretty sure that it
wont last forever, as occasionally
last month it seemed likely to. So let
us hop along toward spring and the
end of the legislature which is about
to come together, They do say that
the end of It isn't going to be in the
spring, but even that can't last for
ever.

A CHICAGO SHRrNRAGE.

in Chicago which hurts the feelings
of the blowers for the windy city. 1t
appears that business on the Chicago
exchanges during 1906 was a great dis
appointment, On the Board Of Trade
clearings were the lightest of any year
since the Clearing House was estab,
lished, the aggregate being only $4S,-
4SO 45O, a decrease of $13,S1S,S94, or 90.
per cent, from 1905. In 1904 the bus
mess was 99,1O1 957, and in 1884 1t
reached 1928 921 4SO. The best business
was in June, when clearings were So
92O, $50, On the Stock Exchange, sales
of sticks were 1,284597 shares, as COM
pared with 1,544,94S in 1905. In bonds
there was S5S5S,050 compared with
$9,556,5OO in 1906 Sales of stocks were
the smallest since 1908, and of bonds
the lightest in two years.
There was time when Chicago be-
lieved she was about to overtake New
York in the matter of speculative and
investment trading, but last years
record will sadden her.

MORE TUNNEL talk.

The talk of a tunnel under the Eng
fish Channel is renewed. and a tunnel
bill has been presented to Parliament.
1t will be decidedly interesting to see
what becomes of this new attempt to
carry out scheme which has been
talked Of for more than a hundred
years. A little more than thirty years
ago the scheme was actually sanction
ed by the British and French govern
ments, and the work was begun. More
than a mile Of the tunnel was opened
at the French end and about half that
distance at the English end and those
openings have, we believe, been kept
instantly resumed upon them if proper
authorization were secured. The Brit
ish end of the proposed tunnel is at
what is called shakespeare's Cliff
near Dover. afld the French end is a
short distance southwest of Calais
Thu plan is to make three tubes
through the chalk and mari, one of
them for drainage purposes only, a lit
tie more than twenty miles long. The
chalk and mari are easy to cut and
impervious to water, 50 that unless
some fault were discovered the work
would be rapid and comparatively in
expensive. The estimate is that it
would be finished in ten years at a cost
of $50 OO0. 900.
OF course such a tunnel would be
very convenient and useful, and there
doesn't seem to be any need of raising
the old cry against it. But the English
have always wanted complete ipsu-
larity, and perhaps they are still afraid
of the proposed tunnel,

rs THERE LONG LIFE IN PEA soUps

One more way to live long has been
promulgated. The promulgator Is Hen
ry Tabor of Sprucewood Ontario. Mr..
Tabor Is only ninety-two, but he ex-
poets to live to be- 100 or more. Mr..
Tabor was born in Montreal in 1914,
and since the spring of 1870 he has liv-
ed almost entirely upon pea soup.
When he took to this diet, he was suf-
fering from what doctors said was can
Ger of the stomach. They told him
that he had only a short time to live,
and his general appearance bore out
this statement. He was pale, wan and
weak, for he could retain little nourish-
ment and had little hope of ever recov-
ering his health. One day a vender of
herbs told him that he could pro1ong
his life by eating pea soup, and Mr..
Tabor promptly tried 1t. The food 'set'
well, and at the end of the week he had
gained pound as we'll as some
strength. He felt encouraged and kept
on with the soup, little by little dis
cardlng all other articles of diet. III
timately he regained his full health
and became as hardy as a knot.
Good. Probably many people could
get more health than they have by eat
ing pea soup for awhile or more, but
probably not many will persist in it as
Mr.. Tabor has. SO we may not have a
chance to tell just what it will do
