Prof. E. F. Hitchings, che State
entomologist connected with the de-
partment of agriculture, has returned
from a trip to Boyd lake in Piscata-
quis county where he went last week
for the purpose of investigating the
reported appearance of the San Jose
scale in that section, and finds that it
was not the dreaded pest which had
been found on the apple trees on the
farm of County Commissioner E. E.
Brown in Orneville. This investi-
CATION grew out of the fact that Mr..
Brown had found several of the trees
in his orchard in a dying condition,
and it is said that man from New
Jersey, who claimed to know the San
Jose scale, was positive that it was
the pest which was killing the trees.
Mr.. Hischings found however that
the pest on the trees was the ordinary
oyster scafe which is common in
Maine but not nearly so harmful to
trees - the Ban Jose scale.

Forest Fires in Michigan.

Fifteen people lost their lives
Thursday night in the burning Of the
Detroit and Mackinaw Railroad Re
lief train which was carrying the in
habtants of the little village of Metz,
% miles north of Alpena, TO safety
from the forest fires, which were
sweepin & away their homes. The i'll
fated train was ditched and the terri
fed refugees were forced TO abandon
the cars and rush for safety either
down the track with burning forests
on either side, or into the ploughed
fields near the siding. Eleven of the
victims were women and children
who were unable to escape quickly
enough from the gondola car which
they were occupying. Their bodies
were found there when res
cuers reached the scene. Two of the
men victims were members of the
train crew. Four additional fatali-
ties occurred in the neighborhood Of
the wreck that night. MIR. and Mrs
Fred Wagner died from heat and ex-
haustion on their farm near the scene
of the wreck, and Mr.. and Mrs. Fred
Nowicki Jr., lost their lives in their
burning house near the siding where
the wreck occurred.
When the forest fires closed In
Thursday about the little village
special train of three empty box cars
and two coal gondolas were rushed to
Metz in charge of John f. Kniville,
conductor, William Foster, engineer,
Arthur Lee, fireman and William Bar
rett, brakeman.
AS rapidly as possible the people
and their goods were loaded into the
cars. Some refused to abandon their
goods or the train might have left
earlier and have reached Alpena in
safety. When the train finally start
ed there were about 100 frightened
people on board. The flames were
already sweeping through the village.
Engineer Foster started his tram for
Alpena. Nearing Nowicki crossing
he saw blazing piles of cedar ties on
both sides of the track. Opening
wide the throttle, he tried to dash
through at full speed, but the heat
had loosened the rails and they had
spread and the train left the tracks.
Blazing piles of ties surrounded it
and in an instant the cars caught fire.
The terror stricken people, overtaken
by the peril from which they were
fleeing jumped from the cars and
rushed down the tracks. Three
mothers and their little ones were not
quick enough and they were cremat-
ed in the gondola car.

HOme Prayed For by the bachelor
Maid Now Making It's
A~pDPnrance,

Slowly but surely the kitchenette flat.
prayed for by the bachelor maid, is making
its appearance. Another Harlem apartment
house has gone up with suites Of two and
three rooms and bath and kltchenette, and
before 1t was finished all of the small
apartments were taken.
The flats have elevator service. dumb
walters, telephones. hardw Cod floors and
nice bathrooms. The kitcr enette is built
in an alcove off the living room and two
doors surmornted by an open grillwork
shut 1t off when not in use.
II contains six broad, roomy shelves. and
beneath these is a porcelain sink, under
which a refrigerator is built. Then there
is a two-burner gas rsnge. The shelves are
for cooking utensils and supplies and china
II desired, but it is usual to keep china in
an outside closet or cabinet
There are no washtubs, but bachelor
msidens have been known to wash clothes
in porcelain bathtubs and dry them in tn

idea solves the problem of how the unat-
tached woman may have the comforts Of
home without a servant to bother her.
Excessive neatness is required for this
sort OF housekeeping and plentiful venti-
lation. Only the lighter forms of cooking
can be INDUCED in and those requiring a

houses who for years have been cooking in

dependence on God. 1t is out OF His hands
that We are fed and clothed. 1t Is God that
comforts us in times OF trouble and need
and heals our broken hearts, He gave His

and under persecution, torture and even
death they had no doubt or waver4nE in
the full measure Of their duty to obey GOD
rather than man. 1t was not a question of
