Alleged Fakir Arrested.

The police OF Perth Amboy, N.
J., have caused the arrest of Mad
am Fay q clairvoyant, who it is al
legged, swiudled Chester Van Scoy,
a farmer Of Idetown, out of 81 900
while located in Wilkes Barre.
According to Van Scoy's story
the woman worked a clever game
on him, which occurred last April.
The woman appeared to have alb
solute influence over the farmer,
for she went so far as to tell him to
bring her all the money he could
secure and she would show him
how to double it. Ven Scoy had
such confidence in the alleged fakir
that he is said to have sold a prop
erty realizing the sum of 81 900,
which he took to the woman.
After placing the money in her
charge, Van Scoy awaited results.
The woman then handed him an
envelope supposed to contain the
81, 900. 1t was neatly done Up
and was sealed with sealing wax
Taking powder, which she called
the magic kind. she sprinkled the
same over the envelope, after which
she told Van Scoy to take it home
aud at the end of three days he
should return and open the enve
lope. Van Scoy went home tha,
night and slept very little, thinking
all the time of the easy manner il
which his money was to be doubled

ture. Timely Topics of Plant Pests
Discussed Weekly. By H. A. Sur
face, State Zoologist.
INSECTICIDES AND FUNGIc1DEs.
New chemical preparations are
being constantly brought forward
as insecticides and fungicides, with
the usual guarantee of the manu-
facturers that the same are per.
fectly reliable. Prof. H. A. STIR
face, the State Zoologist, has had
some of the circulars of these prep
arations sent to his office in Harris
burg and has been requested to
give his opinion concerning them.
The advice of Pro-. Surface,
State Zoologist of Pa. is that no
fruit grower nor farmer can afford
to use any chemical preparation ex.
tensively, until it has passed
through the experimental stage.
The statements in the circulars that
are sent out by the manufacturers
are, as general thing, too positiv e
and too strongly drawn. He rec
ommendeds a trial of new insecti-
cides and fungicides, to find out
what they will do, rather than go
it blindly and invest considerable
money without receiving any bene.
fit, or so little as to not compensate
for having made the expenditure.
Some OF the preparations now on
the market do more harm in un-
skilled hands than they do good.
POTATO BUGS AND BLIGHTS.
Information has been received By
the Division of Zoology of the
Pennsylvania Department of Agri-
culture from some of the principal
potato districts of the State to the
effect that the Potato Bug, or Colo
RADIO Beetle, is already actively at
work on the young potato plants
and threatens to do considerable
damage. Blights may also cause
much loss to potato growers.
In answer to some of the queries
as to how to destroy the bugs, as
we'll as prevent the blight, State
Zoologist Surface replies as follows:
The Colorado Potato Beetle or
Potato Bug will be very destruc-
tive in many parts of this State this
year. Spray with the Bordeaux
mixture to which poison is added.
Make the Bordeaux mixture by
using four pounds of blue tone and
i've pounds of lime in Fl ~ gallons
Of water and to this add either one
half pound of Paris Green or two
pounds of arsenate OF lead. Spray
thoroughly and you will prevent
blight and also kill the bugs. Re-
peat this once every two weeks for
light, but if there are no bugs
present, you need not add the poi
on. Whenever the bugs are pres.
Mt add the poison and spray for
them. There is no rule CONCERNING
he frequency of repetition for Pc
alto Bugs, as we simply spray when
hey come and kill them as soon as
possible. If you do not wish to &c
o the trouble of making the Bor-
.eaux mixture for the blight, oil
ire willing TO run the risk of the
light not coming, you can kill the
otato beetles by spraying with
-.ther of the two poisons mention.

THROUGHOUT The STATE.

The big advance in the price OF
cotton as result OF the governments
low estimate on the crop, caused some
excitement in the Columbus market,
and sales were quite brisk. The price
had fallen Off considerably went back
to Is cents, and many farmers VINO
had been holding their supply, sold
on the advance. In many instances
the warehouse men were holding the
supply OF their patrons for the 15-cent
mark. This of course was disposed
of, which made the local sales quite
heavy.
Active work on building the trans
mission lines from the Central Geor-

GREATNATURAL WEALTH
Georgia is Very Rich in Mineral
Resources
REPORT OF STATE GEOIOGIST
Polk, Barlow And Floyd Counties Are
Rich in Limestone And Shale De-
posts.

Atlanta, 0a.-Few people realize
the tremendous natural wealth OF
Georgia, and the state geological
board, under the direction OF PROBES
sor McCallie is working hard all the
time to get data Of this kind in such
shape that the outside world viii see
the states great wealth and develop
it properly.
A meeting OF the state geological
board was held in Governor Browns
office and Professor McCallie read q
most interesting report on tho work
Of his department for the past sever.
al months. lie showed that the great
iron deposits OF Georgia are being
developed more and more every year.
He estimates the water power OF
the state, ii fully developed, to be
worth fully 500 100000 a year to the
state. He also gave much attention
to the limestone deposits OF North
Georgia. Barlow, Polk and Floyd are
especially rich in limestone. That III
Barlow is more suitable for making
commercial lime, while that OF Polk
and Floyd is better for cement Polk
has cement plant and a large shale
brick plant at Rockmart.
Vast quantities OF kaolin from
Twiggs county are being shipped to
all parts of the world, the bulk OF it
being exported. 1t is largely used
in the manufacture of fine china, and
Professor McCallie is of the opinion
that it should he manufactured here.
DR.. T. Poole Maynard, assistant
state geologist, during the quarter,
completed field Investigations Of the
limeEtones and shales in Barlow
county as far north as Kingston. In
this county he reports the occurrence
OF excellent exposures OF limestone
of the Knox dolomite series, suitable
for making lime and natural cement
He also completed field Investigations
in Polk county, where he found lime
stone in many places suitable for
fuxing, and suitable shales, for
the manufacture OF fine brick Field
work was likewise completed in
Floyd county, where many limeStones
were found suitable for plasters and
general agricultural purposes.
Professor McCallie spoke very en-
Enthusiastically OF the artesian water
supply Of south Georgia.
Unfortunately, it SENS to be an
altogether too common opinion among
persons living in the north and west
that south Georgia is generally un-
healthy, due, mainly, to its bad wa
tiers. To demonstrate that such a
condition of affairs does not exist, but
just the opposite conditions obtain,
is the points the department wishes
to bring out in its publications on
the water supply system OF south
Georgia. Mr.. McCallie says:
eff l were called on to select
from sanitary standpoint, the best
drinking waters of the state, would
unhesitatingly select the artesian well
waters Of south Georgia. That seq
ton can hardly realize what a great
blessing they have in an inexhaustible
and uncontamibnable water supply. /"
