To Build Aluminium Line.

That the Harwood Power Co. is
a progressive institution becomes
more and more evident daily,
says the Hazleton Standard. One
Of the largest contracts the compa-
ny has on its hands at the present
time is the construction of the pow.
er line from Hazleton to Berwick,
work on which will be commenced
very shortly. A small-sized for
tune will be involved in the con-
struction of this line, SIS. 900 alone
being required for the wire.
The novelty of the line, however,
is the fact that it will be construct
ed of aluminium, the material for
which is now in process of manu-
facture. Aluminium power lines
e novelty, and this one will be
the first in the State. While the
first cost is enormous, it will never
theless mean a vast saving in the
way Of repairs, particularly is this
true during the Winter months,
when sleet gathers on the wires or
cables, not infrequen,ly the weight
causing the lines to collapse. With
an aluminium cable all this will be
avoided, as sleet will positively not
hold on aluminium because of its
greasy substance.
The company, too. has just closed
a contract with the American Car
Works at Berwick to furnish them
with power, over 1000 kilo watt
being consumed each working day.

The Appendix.

The apparently useless vermi-
form appendix and the dreaded ap-
pendicitis are of late having close
rival in disfavor in another fleshly
excrescence known as adeno:ds;
and operations for their removal,
and By that means the prevention
of the ills of which they are the
source, are warmly recommended
by leading physicians. Adenoids
are described as curious little eau
lifower-like growths which appear
at the junction of the nasal cavity
and the pharynx. They are often
observed at birth. but they seldom
cause discomfort until some mouths
later. Then they interfere with
respiration and cause the baby to
be restless. 1t tosses in its sleep
and wakens suddenly, crying out
as if in distress. If adenoids are
permitted to remain they deform
the mouth, the teeth. throat, chest
and face. At their worst they pro-
duce pop-eyes and what is called

A Fortune W ell Spent.

After all Russell Sage's success
in gathering together the great
wealth tha. was his at the time of
his death was not bad thing for the
country 1t was secured mostly
from men who tried to get rich by
gambling in stocks, and who, had
they succeeded would in all proba-
bility have squandered most of
their winnings at European water
ing places or for their WI personal
pleasure, in place of giving it for
the creditable purposes to which
MIR. Sage's wealth is going.
Mrs. Sage, who was given the
care and the distribution of the
SOS, 600, 900 fortune left by him
has, in the three short years she
has had charge of it, given over
S25, 900. 900 for educational pur-
poses. religious advancement and
for the amelioration of human mis-
cry. A continuation of this same
blessed spirit of charity-this effort
to do goodwill give back in few
years into the people the eptire
wealth accumulated by her hus-
band. And after it is where it will
relieve suffering humanity, aid the
poor, educate the people and assist
in spreading the teachings of Christ,
who will dare say that Russell
Sage's life was a failure, or that
his success was not blessing to
his countrymen and his country.
Mrs. Sage's good work is erect
ing a great and lasting monument
to both her own and her husbands

Better Rural Service and Better
Roads.
Department Makes Requests That Will I'm.
prove Tb IN Both.

That the post Office department
is striving to improve the postal
service and the highways especially
that the rural routes there is no
question. Among the orders sent to
the post Offices that have rural
delivery service a short time ago
was this one:
In order to expedite the deliv-
ery, collection and dispatch of rural
mail, enable rural carries TO cover
their routes with celebrity, and give
the earliest possible service to pa
irons residing on the far end of the
routes the Department will insist
that all rural mail boxes he so
located as to be served with the
greatest expedition.
You are therefore, directed to
require each rural carrier at your
office to submit to you without de-
lay, for transmission to the DE
partment, tie names of all patrons
whose boxes can not be served
without leaving the road, dismount-
ing, driving IN deep bitches or on or
across railway tracks involving
danger or the approaches to whose
boxes are obstructed 1t is net re-
quired that boxes shall be erected
beside the wheel tracks nor on any
particular corner of the crossroads;
but they must be erected with in
the confines of the road and acces.
able on corner.
1T is not desirable that boxes be
attached to telegraph telephone or
electric light poles or to fences or
buildings. but boxes should be
securely fastened to neat and strong
posts firmly set at the side of the
roads, at sufficient height to be
served by carriers without rising
from their seats or reaching through
wheel spokes. "
Hereafter carriers will be re-
quired to be more stringent i'll re-
porting TO postmasters the condi-
ton of roads, who in turn, will be
required to report all bad conditions
to the Department aud to the
proper road officials and to cooper
ate with them to secure the i'm
provements of the roads over
which the postal service extends.

TO START YOUNG TREES TO GROW
State Zoologist Surface says that
the cherry is the hardest to make
grow of any fruit trees that we can
plant. One is doing well if he can
get fifty per cent. of them to grow,
but after they do start they gener-
ally come on during the second
year and subsequently stay in good
condition. This is due chiefly to
the fact that the tree has so few
fine or small roots, such as are
need d for taking up immediate
moisture and plant food, and it
takes some time for it to form such
roots. It's first effort to grow is a
drain on it's stored vitality. When
this is exhausted the tree is liable
to die by willing at this time of the
year.
Last year the Professor perform
ed series Of important expert
ments in stimulating declining trees
that had been planted only few
months. He used various vegeta-
bic alkaloids, such as nuxvomica,
strychnia, ETC.. and also used nj
trate Of soda, and found that the
last named was by far The best and
most efficient stimulant and was al
so the cheapest. He had excellent
results from watering, dehorning
and cutting back, and especially
from watering declining trees.
teaspoonful of nitrate of soda being
dissolved in each gallon of water.
The watering should be very eX-
tensive. Before applying the wa
ter, the soil should be well tramped
firmly around the roots OF course,
this should not be done while the
ground is wet. Pack it we'll around
the roots, then apply as much wa
ter as possible, or at least bucket
to each young tree, after having
dissolved teaspoonful OF nitrate OF
soda in each gallon of water. Two
or three good waterings of this
kind. and mulching around the
tree with stable dressing, will do
more good than anything else to
give it start.
If you did not cut back the top
we'll, removing at least two-thirds
of the woody growth that was up
on it, it should yet be trimmed, in
order to throw vigor into the few
buds that remain. Most persons in
setting trees do not cut back far
enough.
As to the time Of planting, the
earlier in the spring the cherry tree
is planted, tue better it is. There
is no kind OF irult tree tnat de-
mands such early planting as the
cherry, and it will suffer more Sc
verely from late planting than any
other kind.
OUTBREAK OF APHIDs OR PLANT
LICE.
State Zoologist Surface reports
that he is receiving communica-
tions from all parts of the State OF
Pennsylvania of the unusual out
break of Aphids, or Plant Lice,
this year. Many persons ask what
to do for them, while others state |
that they have sprayed with vari-
GUS preparations without success,
that they have used Paris

Lackawanna Branching Out.
Will Bridge West Branch at Northumberland
-Rumored Wabash Negotiations.

Following rapidly on the heels of
the announcement that the d. l..
& w. railroad had begun negota-
tions Tor the purchase of the opera
house and the Palmer House at
Northumberland as a site for the
new station to be constructed at
that place as told in the COLUMBIAN
last week, come new developments
of no small proportions in the rail
road world
First in order came the sending
of force of surveyors into North
cumberland to make the necessary
surveys preparatory to the erection
OF large concrete bridge across
the Susquehanna al that place. To
Burke Brothers & Company, Of
Scranton, the contract for the
bridge is reported to have been let
by the railroad company. The
bridge will run from point known
as the Water Birch to the BlUe Hill
siic of the river.
The d L. & W.. which owns
and operates the greater part of the
Clearfield coal region, owns the
right of way now occupied by the
Reading railroad from point near
the West Brarch wagon bridge for
distance of several miles up the
river, and the Reading occupies the
ground with the understanding
that the Lackawanna may Use its
'rackage if connection are made.
The proposed bridge will furnish
the connecting link and, with the
use of the Reading lines, the d.
l., & w. will have trackage almost
into the Clearheld district, thus ma
terially cutting down operating ex-
penses for that field.
From the financial centres of
New York came the next sto ry,
when press dispatches stated that
rumors, apparently well authentl-
Gated, were TO the effect that the
Lackawanna was preparing to take
over the Wabash, one of the links
IN the Gould ocean to- ocean system
of railroads which fell of its own
overweight in the recent panic.
The Lackawanna could use the
Wabash to good advantage as a
trunk line to Chicago and as pos
sessing an important terminal at
Pittsburg, while at the same tim:
it could furnish the latter road with
what it most needs, increased capi-
tai and increased traffic. it is re-
garded as possible that the latest
move of the ID. L. & W. is a re-
vival of the Wabash project to
push line across this state, sur
veys for which we're completed as
far as Union county.

"A New Departure.

"7He Phiiadeiphia Press" has
made new and radical departure
by printing in the first column of
its editorial page each day a detail
ed statement of its circulation.
"Zhe PhiladeLbhia Press" believes
that its readers are vitally interest
ed in its success, and that its fig
ures will be consulted by them from
time to time, to note the progress of
their favorite morning newspaper
"ZHe PhiladeLuhia Press" furn-
ishes detailed sworn circulation
statement to anyone requesting it,
but its publication will reach those
interested in quicker aud more

"7he PhiLadeLbhia Press" is the

home newspaper of Philadelphia.
1t is the leading daily in Pennsyl
vania.
The cause of the people is it's
cause and it has no other. 1t is
fighting he battle of the people to-
day on car fares in Philadelphia in
the face of the withdrawal of strip
tickets. 1t began the fight, it is
leading the fight and it will con-
tinue it to the end.
The peoples support for "ZHe

peoples cause. In April "Zhe Sun
day Press" had a net average .circu-
lation of I6e S42. "We Daily

tion of 93,6I3.
This splendid and magnificent
showing for April demonstrates the
peoples support of the peoples

tion is won without premiums and
The FHilaaelbhia Press" is the on
ly morning newspaper in Philadel-
phia which does not use premiums
to gain circulation.
"We PHikadeLpAia Press" will ad-
here to this policy, confident of
continuance of its growth and with
the assurance that advertisers will
always find its rates commensurate
with its worth, and results that
will give reasonable profit above
the amount of money expended.
"ZAe PhiLadeLbhta Press" is the
only morning newspaper in Phila-

Circulation is the basis of adver-
tising value. A business man
should exercise the same calculat-
ing judgment when purchasing
space that he does when buying
other commodities The latter de,
mands either specified quality, ex-
act measure, or known weight.
A factor of equal Importance is
the quality OF circulation. 1t is re-
vealed by the character of the news
paper as whole, the nature of its
news, its freedom from all forms of
vulgarity and an absence of objec-
tionable matter in its advertising
columns
For many years "7He PhiIadek

good. In reply to these communi-
cations explanation has been made
that the Plant Lice are sucking in
sects which damage trees and 9TH
er plants by injecting a poisonous
saliva, and then sucking out the
modified sap. The leaves upon
which they live curl un il tney
fern protecting homes within
which the pests are then safe, and
cannot be reached by any spray
liquids. Bordeaux mixture does
not affect them because il is fun
gicide. The arsenical poisons do
not kill them because they are for
the chewing insects only.
The Plant Lice are to be killed
by spraying at the right time,
which means shortly after the buds
burst or before the leaves have
curled, with the right material,
which is good contact insectide,
strong enough tokill the pests but not
strong enough to injure the leaves.
For this (I) one pound of whale
oil soap in six gallons of water
should be used, or (2) about eight
per cent. kerosene emulsion. or Cd
stronger soap solution of some
other kind of soap, or CD very
strong tobacco decoction. 1t must
be so applied as to come into con-
tact with the bodies of the pests,
or they will not be injured. There
fore, those within the curled leaves
are safe as far as spraying is con-
cerned, and the leaves containing
them should be picked off and de-
stroyed by burning or dropping in
to oil.
The Apple Aphis is by far the
most commonly reported pest at
this time of year. However, it has
reached its worst and will soon be
leaving the apple leaves to migrate
to the roots of grasses and grains,
where /, spends the summer. In
fact, many leaves now show only
its cast skins. The appearance is
worse than the result, as the leaves
are deformed but not entirely de-
stroyed, and as treatment at this
time of year for the badly curled
leaves is out of the question, it is
not necessary to attempt to give it.
Where, however, aphids, jumping
plant lice. leaf hoppers, and other
sucking insects are present, the
remedy consists in getting one of
the contact insectides named above
to come in touch with the oody Of
the pest. This can be done by
spraying or by bending the twigs
containing the pests so that they
can be dipped into pans holding
the liquid, or by dipping punches
of twigs or whisk brooms into the
liquid and Tipping it against the
pests in fine spray. This COM
munication is intended to be an an
swer to hundreds of inquiries oil
this topic now being received by
the Division of Zoology of the De-
partment of Agriculture.

COST OF ARsENATE OF LEAD.
Several prominent citizens of
Pennsylvania have written to Prof.
Surface, the State Zoologist, Har-
risburg, inquirlng how or where to
get arsenate of lead, to be used Tor
killing chewing insects, such as
the codling moth larva, caterpil-
lars, potato beetles, etc. Some
state that they have inquired at
leading drug stores and at hard
ware stores" but at neither place
did dealers seem to know much
about it. One correspondent
speaks of having received quota.
tions from chemical houses of 10
cents per ounce for this form of ar.
senate.
Prof. Surface, in his reply, said
when you attempt 10 buy arsen-
ate of lead i'll small quantities from
local druggists, you may expect to
pay varying prices, such as ten
cents per ounce, as you say; but
YOU may be surprised to know that
| have at present before me bill
for arsenate of lead for experiment
tai purposes, which is costing only
eight cents per pound. You can
get all you want for IL cents per
pound in buying in one hundred
pound lots, or should not pay more
than IS cents per pound in any re-
tail quantity from local retailers.
You can buy it from various firms,
