Whitewash Saves Peaches.

From Suburban Life.
The warm days of late February and
early March often cause the buds on
peach trees to swell; and they are then
killed by low temperatures. 1t has been
demonstrated by careful experiment with
thermometers covered with purple and
white cloths that the former registered
from 10 to 20 degrees higher than those
covered with white. This demonstrates
the reason why the peach buds start to
swell with the first warm days. 1t is the
sun heat that they absorb. To avoid this
whitewash the trees. They will need
two sprayinss to cover them thoroughly.
Ordinary whitewash will not remain on
the trees any length of time. but by using
one part of skim milk to four parts of
water in the wash, and then adding a
pound of salt to each bucketful before
spraying, it can be made to stick for
several weeks.

true 10 MSNOTy OF beau NaSns
The famous Beau Nash was at one
time extremely fond of beautiful
girl called Juliana Papjoy, sometimes
known as the Bishopstrow belle. She
used to ride about the t.---oets of Bath
on fine gray horse Ca, ling a whip
with many thongs, fad which gained
for her the title of Lady Betty Bosom.
Juliana was very kind-hearted and
during the last five years Of the
beaus life she nursed him devotedly.
After his death she vowed that she
would never again sleep in bed and
took up her abode in a large hollow
tree, where she lived for many years,
earning scanty livelihood by SELL
ing herb medicines and fetching and
carrying. At last Juliana became very
Ill and, knowing she could not posi-
bly, recover, she felt an intense long
ing to die in her old cottage home at
Bishopstrow. More dead than alive,
she set outson this last journey, and
managed to reach the house where
she was born in time to die there.

ELECTRICITY ON RAIL WAYS.

An article contributed to the Popular Science
Monthly for March by Professor j. B. Whitehead
of Johns Hopkins university on the subject of NOV
ing freight by electric power is of especial interest
to the western country, where electricity may be
generated from the hill streams in almost unlimited
quantities. 1t has long been the belief that the
railroads of the United States will in time be en-.
tirely electrified The waste of fuel in the locomo-
tive IS enormous Combustion must necessarily be
rapid to maintain the high pressure of steam re-
CURED to carry train. and the combustion and
waste. increase very rapidly as the speed is in
creased from twenty to sixty or seventy miles an
hour. Professor Whitehead declares that typical
western freight locomotive, weighing with its ten
der 165 tons, develop continuously drawbar
pull of 25,60O pounds up to speed of fifteen miles
an hour. An electric locomotive weighing 100 tons
can develop this pull up to speed of thirtyseven
miles hour" The electric locomotive also has
the advantage, according to Professor Whitehead
of not pounding the track as the steam engine does
and therefore it be run at high speed with
greater safety than the steam locomotive.
Electricity has not been demonstrated to be Just
practicable for freight shipments as it has been
for passenger service on suburban lines but if the
electric locomotive carry freight faster than
at present the increase in speed will not only be
accomplished, but the capacity of the trackage of
the country Will be correspondingly increased an
item which should not be overlooked in the efforts
to provide sufficient rolling stock and trackage to
supply the needs of the shipping world
