A Varied Assortment Of Hot
Weather Suggestions.

If it is true that nothing else makes
one so hot as studying the thermometer
and reviling the temperature and hu-
midity, Mayor Mahool is philosopher.
He spends these piping days thinking
pleasant thoughts of what the sun is
doing for the crops. 1t is true that
June is very important month with
the farmer. The sunshine and the rain
and the temperature it brings make all
the difference between a bumper crop
of grain and poor one. However,
there are a few persons who can keep
cool merely through cogitating Of way
ing rows of corn and billowy fields Of
wheat. Maybe being in the grain COM
mission business helps the Mayor to
grin and bear the worst the sun can do
Secretary Taft, too, though he weighs
300 pounds, seems to stand the hot
wave like South Sea Islander. The
Secretary has had a varied training,
and probably after being boiled and
stewed in the Philippine Islands he can
dare old Old Sol to blaze away He
says it is easy to cool. All that is
necessary is to "ix your mind on a
pleasant thought, walk on the shady
side of the road and don't get peevish."
If a candidate can go through the dog
days without getting peevish, other
people should manage to worry along.
Then comes DR.. Wiley, food expert
of the Government, gentleman whose
knowledge of in'ards entities him to
our deepest respect. He quotes verse
by way of advice, and says, or sings:
Full many man, both young and old,
Has gone to his sarcophagus
BY pouring water, icy cold,
Adowu his hot esophagus.
There is nothing more tempting than
drink of cold water in summer, but
all physicians seem to be against its use
for their patients. They themselves
defy fate in this particular. However
we well not quarrel with them for not
taking their own prescription. For one
thing, it is dangerous to quarrel in hot
weather, and for another, we don t
have to do as they say. Anyhow,
many persons get lot of fun out of
"Hot-W Gather Don'ts" by not obeyin n g
them-Baltinore News.

mitted by representatives of the rail-
road company, and after thorough eN-
animation of the question the present
board sustans the action of its prede-
cessor.
Captain F. NJ Colston, chairman
Douglas H. Thomas, treasurer, and
Lynn r. Meekins, secretary of the
Jamestown Commission, recommended
to the Board of Public Works Monday
that an offer of So, 900 for the Maryland
Building at the exposition be accepted.
This bid was the highest that was re-
cCiyed after advertising and many offers
through agents 1t came from Willard
r Cock and Company, of Norfolk,
who have bought many of the state
buildings.
The price was about the average paid
for other buildings. That of Pennsyl-
vania brought s., 900, including the big
clock; Georgia, $1,000: West Virginia,
81, $50; Missouri, So, eco; Massachusetts,
81, ,14O: Rhode Island, including furni-
ture, 81 800; Vermont, including furni-
turc, $4O0; New Hampshire, including
furniture, 81 900; Connecticut, $3.50;
Illinois, $4,000. The option on the
ground expires August 2, and if the
state heldfonger it would have run the
risk in this matter.
The last legislature directed the Board
of Public Works to sell, and appropri-
atcd ST 900 to care for the building.
The beard Monday decided to accept
the offer, and authorized Messrs. Col
ston, Thomas and Meekins to proceed
with the sale and close up the affairs of
the commission. By this course the
81, 900 appropriated by the legislature
will not be touched, and surplus will
be turned into the treasury.

Bishop Potter Gravely Ill.

Bishop Henry c. Potter. of New York
is regarded by his physicians as being
in a dangerous state of i'll health. He
has been sick for some time with
stomach and liver trouble. DR.. j. Il.
Janvrin, one of his doctors, issued the
the following bulletin Monday night
"Bishop Potter has been prostrated
from the hot weather the last few days
and is in very critical condition"
Bishop Potter was taken ill early in
May in New York, and his illness
assumed serious aspect for time.
His condition did not become generally
known until early in June, when it was
announced that illness would prevent
his attending the PanAnglican Con-
gress in London, which met June 16.
TIL, Bishop recovered his strength
sufficiently to leave for the home of his
wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Clark Potter.
His physicians hoped the change of air
and scene would effect a complete re-
cevery. He reached there on June 10,
and for time showed progress toward
complete recovery, but last Friday he
suffered a relapse. 1t was not until
Sunday. though, that it become known
that his condition was serious. A mes
sage was sent to New York summoning
his son, AIonzo Potter. DR.. Janvrin,
of New York, and DR.. M. l. Basset, of
Cooperstown, are in constant atten-
dance upon the Bishop.
Bishop Potter is the seventh Protes-
tant Episcopal Bishop of the Diocese
of New York, and is one of the best
known clergymen in this country. He
is 70 years old. A few years ago he
married Mrs. Elizabeth Scriven Clark.
Bishop Potter has always taken keen
interest in civic as well as church mat
tiers and has been a wide traveller. With
Alenzo Potter in Cooperstown are Mrs.
Potter and three members of the Clark k
family, Edward S. Clark, Stephen G.
Clark and Ambrose Clark. The rela-
tives of Bish op Potter have been sum
moned here.

Gas by New Process.

The first public exhibition of the new
process of manufacturing an oxy-car
bon dry gas, to be used for purposes of
heat, lighting and power, was given at
the new plant of the American Gas and
Development Company, Dillon and
Third streets, Highlan dtown, Tuesday
afternoon by Mr.. Charles Meyer, of
Baltimore city, general manager of the
company. The officers of the company
are:
President-Mr. George Norbury Mac
kenzie.
First Vice -President-M John A.
Inslee, of New York.
Second Vice e-President-Mr. Herbert
NJ. Knight, of Baltimore.
Secretary -Treasurer-Mr. Joseph A.
cKellip.
President Mackenzie said large share
Of the stock has been taken by local
inapc pciers. The process is secret one
and is covered by patents already taken
out and several now pending, but it may
be said that it is combination of COM
pressed air special kind of gasoline
ank several other ingredients which
the officials of the company do not
divulge. The machi merry used is a gas
engine. 1t is said to be 80 to 35 per
cent. cheaper than the process used by
the large gas com mpanies.
Speaking of the aim of the company,
President Mackenzie said Tuesday "It
is not our aim to compete with the gas
| plants in the large cities of the country
at present, but to install our plants in
the smaller, large manufacturing plants,
hotels. steamships, and the smaller
| powerboats, where gasoline engines are
at present used. The gas can be used
for Illuminating. heating or power pur-
poses. A statement was recently made
that the new battleship porvided for by
the British Government, which shall be
the superior of either the Drea drought
or St. Vincent, the most powerful ships
of their class in the world, are to be
provided with gas engines. thus doing
away with tunnels and smokestac ks
Whether the process of the English en-
gineers is similar to ours l cannot say,
but we have great hopes that at some
time in the future our process may be
taken up and enlarged upon to produce
efficient results in propelling large ships
both i'll our navy and merchant marin e.

Charge of the Antibug Brigade

Instructions have been issued by the
officers of the State Horticultural De-
partment directing the local inspectors
appointed in the various counties to
commence work of inspection of or
chards for San Jose scale and peach
yellows July 1. These men, q in all,
were required to take a course at the
Maryland Agricultural College last win
ter to better fit them for the work of
Identification of the various injurious
insects and plant diseases and to give
up-to-date information to the growers
for their control.
This work on the part of the depart
ment has been great help to the Or
chardists throughout the state, as the
inspectors come in personal contact
with the growers and can point out such
infected trees and give advice as to
treatment. 1t also enables the officers
of the department to learn of direfully
neglected cases where the scale or yell

ment. In such cases the officers en-
deavor to impress upon the individual
owner the great necessity of treatment
in order to save his trees as well as pro-
tect his neighbors. If the treatment
recommended is not applied it is then
necessary that the law be enforced.
While the officers, Prof. T. B. Symons,
state entomologist, and Prof. J. B. 8.
Norton, state pathologist, will give ali
the co operation possible in aiding in
the control of these pests, they must
perform their duty to orchardists of the
state in enforcing the law where neces-
sary.

Bacteria and Heat.

Many people have erroneous notions
n to the ease with which bacteria are
destroyed by heat. In fact. the "ther
NAL death point" for bacteria organ
isms varies widely.
Some forms of water bacteria are
killed by simple blood heat, while pa
thogenic bacteria are developed best
at that temperature. During their
multiplying and negotiating phase OF
life bacteria are more easily destroyed
by heat than they are after passing to
the resting or spore stage.
Some spores derived from the soil
require boiling for sixteen hours to in
sure their death. Moist heat in the
form Of steam is the most effectual dis
