not hesitate to say that in my jWdg-

KNITTING MACHINE ROMANCE.
Invented That a Tilted Lovsr Might
Have His Revenge.

Romance may certainly figure in
many of the knitted waistcoats and
gorgeous stockings worn by our un-
dergraduates of to-day, but these have
not SO romantic an origin as the first
of these articles produced in this
country.
For tradition has it that William
Lee. who in the sixteenth century in
vented the knitting frame on which
both stockings and waistcoats were
produced mechanically, was driven to
this piece Of ingenuity by the cruel
fouting of the lady he loved, who hap
pened to be a stocking knitter.
!. Enraged at his failure to make an
impression on her heart, he sought to
make it on her purse by killing her
means of livelihood; and one is glad
to read that all stocking makers com
bined to Illustrate his cruel purpose,
with the result that he fed with his
invention to France, where he finally
died of a broken heart, whether for
love of his lady or of his spoiled in
vention, tradition does not say.-Lon-
don Chronicle.

PLANT BUILDING.
Important Part Which Water Plays
In the Process.

A simple way to illustrate how
plant food goes into solution in water
is to drop a lump of sugar into a glass
Of water. The lump Immediately be-
gins to fall to pieces, and in time will
become dissolved and uniformly dis
tributed through the water. AS the
water Of the soil comes in contact
with the surfaces Of particles of soil
and fertilizing constituents, there Is
q breaking up OF surface molecules,
which, as they become free, are float
ed of through the capillary water. In
this form the molecules of plant food
are transported through the soil. The
root hairs absorb this plant food and
thus a movement of the solution is
started toward the root. Not having
the power to choose their food, the
root hairs must absorb everything
which comes in this solution whether
Il is injurious or not. An illustration
Of this 10 where gas lime has been
used to kill grass and weeds, and the
poisonous cyanide compounds being
absorbed by the roots Of a tree cause
its death.
The thousands Of root hairs are
really little pumps sucking the water
out Of the soil into the plant where
1t performs its functions as 1t passes
to the leaves. In the leaves the ex-
cess Is TRANSFERRED into the air. We see
that there are thousands, perhaps mil
lions Of tiny streams of water enter
ing the tree through It's leaves and
passing out through the leaves. al
few figures published by the Wiscon-
sin experiment station on some ex-
periments made with oats and corn
show what a surprisingly large guam.
tity Of water is required for plant
growth. 1t was found that in raising
oats 522.4 tons of water were re.
quired for every ton OF dry matter.

stead. In the same paper Prof. Gull
ley writes of the best time to trim
grape vines, al follows:
THE best time to trim grapes is
early winter. Days can then be select.
ed that are mild and the ground dry.
1t can be done at any time before the
vines start in the spring. If trimmed
after the sap starts they may run or
bleed badly" Do not, however, omit
the trimming if the work has been left
SO late. as the surplus wood left on
the vine would do far more damage
than the bleeding from one years
trimming. When done in early winter
the vine should be cut free from the
t%rellis, letting 1t fall to the ground
or as near it as it will. This is to
prevent the breaking of the vine or
trellis by snow when it settles. II it

SPRAYING FOR APPLE scAs.
Prof. Emerson, Of Nebraska Expert
ment Station, Tells Of Work Done.

In some spraying tests against ap-
pie scab, carried on on the Nebraska
experiment station, the varieties of APP
pies used were Sweet June, Winesap.
Maiden Blush, Jonathan and Rails
Genet. Bordeau was the solution
used.
The first two varieties named were
young trees, five and eight years old
respectively. The other varieties
were old trees. The Maiden Blush
and Winesap were sprayed only once,
May %, for the former and May 81
for the latter, in both cases after the
blossoms had fallen, and in case of the
Winesap, even after the calyx lobes
had closed. The Sweet June, Jona-
than and Rails Genet were sprayed
at different times.
The prevalence of scab on the
sprayed and and u%nsprayed trees was
first determined approximately by
simply examining from 100 to 200
fruits per tree. Later, when the ap-
pies were picked, all the fruits except
in case of Jonathan we're examined
and the amount of scab on different
trees determined more accurately.
In the records of the tests given,
two Or three facts stand out with spe-
cial prominence: The unsprayed
fruit was very scabby, running from
about so per cent. in case of Jonathan
to 80 per cent with Winesap. The
first spraying, April rs and n, when
the leaf buds were just opening, af-
forded no protection to the fruit.
Urges sprayed late in April, and not
sprayed afterwards, had fully as
scabby fruit as unsprayed trees. The
third spraying, May 20 and 2S, gave
very good results. Winesap trees
sprayed only once late In May, showed
only about 10 per cent. of scabby fruit,
as against 80 per cent. for unsprayed
trees, and Maiden Blush only four
per cent. of scab on sprayed, as
against 65 per cent. on unsprayed
trees. The second spraying, May Z
and 8, while beneficial in practically
all cases, was not quite so effective in
controlling scab as the later spraying.
The best results followed two spray
ings, inc early and one late in May.
This is we'll shown in Ease of Sweet
June, where an unsprayed tree had
Is per cent. of scab, n sprayed May
8, 40 per cent. one sprayed May %,
20 per cent, and another sprayed on
both May 8 and % only four per cent.
Some of the apples, notably Jona-
than, were injured considerably by
the spraying of May 20. The fruit was
badly rusted on one side. In the worst
cases the injury took the form of one
sided development of the fruits.
Whether the injury was due to an
overdose of the spray, to improperly
made bordeaux, to the green arsenoid
used with the bordeaux, or to the ex-
IRENE tenderness Of the Jonathan
fruits, ] am unable to say.

The NEW INSURANCE AGENT.
He Comes In With the New Law-Psdl
Morton on His Opportunity.

The new insurance law of the State
Of New York has opened up a promis-
ing field for both men and women
with brains and energy in the sale of
life insurance. The law now provides
standard forms of policies, each of
which practically bears the hall mark
of the State of New York, and this new
order of things has established the
sale of life insurance on a correct
basis.
The prohibition against rebating and
e%xtravagant allowances to agents has
driven out of the business the old
type of insurance agent, who in many
cases virtually bought business, with
large rebates, instead Of selling it.
His place is being taken by profess
sors, lawyers, school teachers of both
sexes, and others, who find that being
a life insurance agent under the new
system offers greater reward than
their previous vocations. The law has
reduced commissions but all of the
commission now goes to the agent.
Life insurance is something that
everyone needs and under the pres
ent system its sale is being conducted
with becoming dignity and propriety.
Paul Morton, president of the Equita-
Bile Life Assurance Society, has taken
the lead in building up an agency or
ganization that is in keeping with the
demands of public sentiment, and the
standard he mas SC: for his company.
He says: I'VE want new agents, both
men and women, but none except en-
ergetic, able and truthful people need
apply. For such there is a splendid
opportunity"
Mr.. Morton's policy Of injecting new
and vigorous blood into the agency
force of the Society is meeting with
success in all parts of the country.

SAHARA GROWING DRYER.
French Observer Says the Gases Are
Shrinking and viii Disappear.

c. F. Gautier, a French explorer, is
authority for the statement that the
Sahara is continuously becoming drier
to such an extent that the GASES are
perceptibly drying up and will disap-
pear altogether in a relatively short
time. He quotes historic records and
physical signs to show that springs
were at n time more plentiful than
now, and that the extent of the
patches where vegetation flourishes
were much greater even so to 100
years ago.
AS the climate of the region has I'M
dergone no change in perhaps thou
sands of years, he believes that the
disappearance of the water must be
due to purely mechanical causes. He
considers that it is due to the con-
tinual advance Of the great sand
masses to the north, thus forming an
lmpenetrable barrier against the wa
tershed of the Atlas mountains.-N. Y.
