Injury from Mosquitoes.

New Jersey has many places ideal
In situation and accessibility, and one
such place developed rapidly to GER
tain point and there it stood. halted
by the mosquitoes that bred in the
surrounding marsh lands. Country
club. golf, tennis and other attrac-
tions ceased to attract when attention
was necessarily focused on the biting
or stinging pests that intruded every
where, and the tendency was to sell
out. But the owners were not ready
to quit without fight. and an i'm
provement society WAS formed which
consulted with my ONCE and followed
my advice. In one year the bulk Of
the breeding area was drained. mos
Quitoes have since been absent al.
most entirely; one gentleman, not q
large owner, either. told me his prop
erty had increased $4,000 In value.
and new settlers began to come In.
This year one of the worst breeding
areas OF the olden day was used as
a camping gorund. and 100 new resi-.
dences are planned for next year

Damaging Hail Storm.

Longmont, Colo.-One of the most
destructive hailstorms that has ever
occurred in this section of the state
struck here June 25th. AS result, the
alfalfa crop is badly damaged. Some
of it can be saved. The peas are en-
tirely destroyed. The wheat crop has
been pounded into the ground and
spring wheat has been damaged more
than the winter wheat. Inc 1rulU
crop has been much damaged. Straw
berries were cut off in mid-season.
What was left Of the raspberry crop
was destroyed for this year, and next
years crop will be injured as the new
shoots have been pounded off. The
| beet crop did not suffer so badly, as
1t ia not far along in growth.
The storm means hundreds of thou
sands of dollars in damages to this vi
cinity. Hail fell twice, first about 2
O'clock and later about o'clock. Hail
stones over an inch in diameter de-
scended. Northeast of the city win
dows were broken out and the curtains
We're riddled by the stones. Men
working in the fields had to rush to
houses, using anything they could lay
their hands on to protect their heads.

THE OBSERVER
CENTRAL CITY. COLORADO.
Hiqh-Speed Steel.

"Bigness in everything is become so
characteristic of the material tktEgs
that go to make up modern civil-za'
ton that only undertakings of tremen-
dous magnitude attract more tran
passing notice" Thus writes o. NJ.
Becker in the Technical World Maga-
zine. Thirty story buildings, three
mile dams, and Panama canals alone
are able to hold the public eye long
enough to be even a seven-days' Won
der. Next week it is an old story and
not at all wonderful. The great engi-
neering feats which appeal so strongly
to the eye undoubtedly have an i'm
portant part in the remarkable indus
trial and commercial development now
writing itself in such bold letters into
the history of civilization. There are,
however, other agencies at work in
this development, some of them surely
destined to bring about great changes
in methods and efficiencies now re-
garded as superlative, and one of these
agencies, yet quite unknown to the
general public, but nevertheless al
ready eXerting a powerful influence
upon industrial efficiencies, has made
a place for itself in the modern ma
chine shop. The essential function of
the machine shop is to fit accurately
the various metal parts which are to
be assembled into other machinery Of
one sort or another; and this is gem
orally done by cutting or pairing away
any excess and unevenness of metal
left in the casing or forging This sort
of cutting obviously is something
very different from that seen in the
wood shop, for example. Special tools
and machines, the former strong and
hard enough and the latter rigid and
powerful enough, are necessary to re-
move the excess of material from
steel, iron, or other resistent metals.
Ordinary cutting edges, as they are
commonly understood, would not do at
all. An account of the processes by
which high-speed steel has been per-
fected and the uses to which it is put,
forms subject matter in an exceeding
1y interesting article of some length,
amply illustrated.

Kaiser as Art Critic.

Kaiser William adds to his many

praises the sovereign's activity in
church architecture, forestry. land

decoration and the applied arts" If
he indeed is proficient in all those
branches. it can readily be understood
that he has no time, even if he had
the inclination, to disturb the peace of
Europe. AS critic, his taste is
catholic, although at times he Is severe
in his judgments. While he has no
prejudice against impressionists, he
hates still life and uninteresting sub
jects which lack movement" His
opinions are given at random, some
times in the form of marginal notes.
When some South German amateurs
undertook to decide what kind OF
monument should be erected for Wag-

displeasure by writing nonsense" at

pressed an aesthetic opinion more con-

MURDERER IN
HIDING NEAR CITY
Reported That Slayer Of Albuquerque
Stone Mason Has Employed Counsel
and viii Give Himself Up.

On February 4th of this year an Ital-
ian by name of Pettini shot and NOR
tally wounded on the street in Albu-
querque, Benedito Berardinelli stone
mason of that town and well known
here. Berardinelli died shortly after
the shooting and Pettini escaped
and so far has not been apprehended.
The New Mexican now has what 1t be-
lieves to be reliable information to the
effect that Pettini, since the shoot
ing affray, has been hiding in the vi
cinity of this city and has employed
Santa Fe attorney to defend him.
The story is that Pettini may
give himself up at an early date to
members of the Territorial Mounted
Police and will then be turned over
to the sheriff of Bernalillo County who
will take him to Albuquerque for ex-
animation. 1t is said that Pettini
claims that he acted in self-defense
and that he fired at Berardinelli as the
latter approached him in threaten
ing manner, Pettin then and there
believing that Berardinelli was armed
and would do him serious bodily in
jury.
AS the New Mexican hears it the af-
fair is pretty we'll arranged and is
very likely to come off at any moment.
1t is said that Pettini's attorney here
went to Albuquerque recently and it
is thought that he then negotiated for
the surrender of Pettini.
Berardinelli lived only three hours
after being shot, Pettini made good
his escape and has since been at large.
