tory.
This map Of the heavens will be the
most colossal and also the most deli.
cate and difficult task ever attempted
by human genius in the realm of as.
tronomy.
Seventeen important observatorles
besides the Paris one have for the
past twenty-five years been at work in
their respective spheres on this stu
pendous task-those of Greenwich,
Rome, Catania, Helsingfors, Potsdam,
Oxford, Bordeaux. Toulouse, Algiers,
San Fernando (Spain), Tacubaya
(Mexico, Santiago (Chili), Cordoba
argentina, Perth (Austraha), Cape
Town, SyCney and Melbourne.
Twenty-Five thousand and fifty-four
negatives are necessary. So far 1900
of them have been engraved on cop
per. The map, when completed, and
the catalogue will give the exact posi-
ton, measurements and size of 5,000,-
900 stars down to the eleventh magni-

In Extreme Hot Weather.
Fish. Birds and Animals All Suffer by The
Heat lust as Men Do.

Humans, said a nature lover,
"are by no means the only suffer
ers from intense summer heat !;
there are plenty of lower creatures
that suffer.
Fish, for instance, are Cypress
ed by the heat just as men are,
and if they can't find shelter from
it they may be killed by it. In
shallow fresh water ponds fish
sometimes die by the hundred,
killed by the excessive heat of the
water, warmed beyond their endur-
ance by the heating sun.
I'm streams fish seek the shady
stretches and the deep places and
the spring holes where they can
keep cool, and in salt water fish go
away from the shallow overheated
water close to shore and seek the
cooler depths.
birds suffer in the same way,
oppressed by extreme heat, and
how they do welcome a chance to
get cool! Look at the sparrows in
the city's streets when the sprink-
ling cart goes by leaving in the hol-
lows of the pavement little pools of
water that will serve them for
bathing places. How eagerly the
sparrow seeks this BATH and it will
bathe, if it gets the chance. a doz-
en- times day.
"It is just the same with domes-
tic fowls. Extreme hot weather
distresses them greatly; at such a
time you can see chickens with their
beaks open and fairly painting with
the heat, and then they want plen-
ty of water.
Cows? Of course. On the
very hct days they seek the trees
if there are any in the pasture lot,
to stand in the shade of them, and
then if they are bothered by flies
the cows seek shaded pools or
brooks to stand in them in water
up to their bellies or deeper to es-
cape the flies and for cooling
refreshment. How horses and
dogs suffer with intense heat every.
body knows. New York Sun.

Crow and Wrinkles.

Lack hocks Of crows are in the
fields and on the shores. CLANS and
mussels are about all the food they
can get, except perhaps few wrinkles
now and then. AS these wrinkles have
a tough shell the crow, when he finds
one, will fly for the shore and over a
fiat ledge when at height of thirty
or forty feet the crow will stop his
fight and drop the winkle on the
rocks, thus breaking the shell.
Then perhaps dozen will gather
around and ravenously eat the sweet
morsel. 1t Is doubtful II the crow de.
stroys as much as he Is accused OF
doing.-Lewiston Journal

The Democrats in the house of

The Democrats in the house of
representatives made an unsuccess-
full effort last Thursday to defeat
an urgent deficiency" proposition
to appropriate S25, 900 for travelling
expenses to swing around the cir
Gle. The bill was passed by a
strictly party vote. 1t was point
ed out by Democratic members
that when the presidents salary
was increased at the last session it
was agreed that there should be no
additional allowances for travelling
expenses, and that to now propose
this appropriation was an act of
bad faith on the part of the Repub-
licans. The majority party were
also reminded that Mr.. Taft had
himself counseled the congress to
to keep down expenditures. But
all protests were unavailing and
the appropriation went through by
an almost unanimous party vote. The
Republican members of congress
consider the Swing around the cir,
Gle" is an absolute necessity to avert
the pending disruption OF the Re
publican party as result of the be.
trayal of the people in the Aldrich

KILLING POTATO BUGS IN cITYLoTs

NAt-A-A-'c VI n " oOCo AN III LII y
A gardener having a potato
patch, 40 by 40 feet, in the city Of
Reading, close to the built-up-sec-
ton, wrote to State Zoologist Sur
face, saying that he is plagued by
potato bugs which have appeared
in immense numbers" and he
asked for the best remedy for get
ting rid OF the same.
The Professors reply was:
"Spray them with arsenical poi
son, using either six ounces of
Paris green in so gallons of water,
in that proportion in mixing a
smaller quantity. Or, use two
pounds of arsenate of lead in so
gallons Of water, or in that proper
tom which means about one and
one-half ounces of arsenate of lead
to each two gallons of water.
BY means of spray pump, in
applying either of the above solu-
tions, no difficulty whatever will be
experienced in controlling these
pests. Prof. Surface, however,
had reason to believe that his cor
respondent was cultivating one of
those town lots" in the north
western section of Reading, the use
of which is granted free Of charge,
and may not have spraying equip
ment. Therefore he gave the fol-
lowing additional information:
eff you do not have a spray
pump, would advise you to make
up solution and dip an old broom
or brush into the liquid, and then
by swinging it down and up quick
ly, or with jerk, over the pota-
toes. throw the liquid over The
leaves in fine drops. Do this in
such manner as to have the liquid
as finely divided as possible, max
ing kind of spray by so doing.
"Also, you can mix dry Paris
green with -four, or with fine ashes
or dust, or with any other carrying
agent, and dust it over the infested
plants. Use one part, or measure,
of Paris green to about 40 parts,
or measures, of the dust or -four;
mix thoroughly, and then dust it
over the plants. A good plan is to
put the busting mixture into an
empty tomato can, into the bottom
of which holes have been punched
with small, sharp nail then oper-
ate the can as you would pepper
box, and sift the powder over the
leaves OF the potato plants. 1t is
best to do this while the leaves are
wet with dew; but if the dust is
thrown where the beetles, or their
larvae, are feeding, these will be
destroyed at any time of the day.
1T would be we'll, while apply
ing the arsenical poison for destroy
ing the bugs, to add some Bor-
deaux mixture for the prevention
of blight. In making the Bor-
deaux, use 3 pounds of bluestone,
4 of lime and 40 gals. of water then
TO this add either one-third of a
pound of Paris green, or two
pounds of arsenate of lead. Blight
does not occur every yeear, but
when it is liable to come it is best
to take measures for preventing it
by spraying from time to time with
Bordeaux mixture"

SETTING AN ASPARAGUS BED.

SETTING AN ASPARAGUS BED.
"What is the best method to
pursue in starting an asparagus
oed?" This question vas referred
to Prof. II. A. Surface, State 70.
ologist, Harrisburg, by one of the
newspapers OF Philadelphia, the
information having been asked by
4 correspondent of the paper. 1t
.licited the following reply:
Gin planting an asparagus bed
he ground should be spaded Oh
,lowed deeply, or to depth Of
.welve inches, if possible. In turn
ng the soil, manure should be
mixed we'll with it and, in fact,
ONE of the fertilizer should be
urned under completely. The soil
:annot be made too fertile. Three
,r four inches of manure we'll turn
d under and stirred into the soil
will not be too much. Dig holes
% depth of eight inches with a
circumference of two feet, making
hem FIVE feet apart each way, or
It least not less than four feet.
Put two inches of well-fertilized
,ood earth in the bottom of each
lole and set the asparagus plant OF
DOT on this firmly, with the roots
pread in every direction. Over
bis place about two inches of good
ich soil that is not so damp as to
'ack or cake when tramped, and
hen tramp it with the feet firmly
round the heart of the stalk of the
liant. The secret of making this
ind of plant grow is to pack the
arth quite firmly about the roots,

culture. Mosquitoes carry the
germs of disease and there is no
more potent disseminator of fevers.
The utmost precautions should,
therefore, be taken to keep the mos.
Qnito out OF Our homes.
AS pools of stagnant water, cis-
terms and cess-pools are breeding
places of mosquitoes, Prof. H. A.
Surface, the State Zoologist, rec
ommends that all tanks of water,
cisterns, or vessels which hold wa
ter, or which might be filled with
water after a rain, be covered, or
screened with a screen of at least
IS meshes of wire to the inch.
Standing water on lots or commons
should not be permitted. All shall
low lots should be drained and
kept dry, and post holes filled, old
tin cans and bottles emptied, and
all breeding places destroyed. All
stables ought to be provided with
air-tight receptacles for refuse, and
this refuse should be removed every.
week.
Where there are large natural
bodies OF water which cannot be
drained, the surface should be dis
infected and oiled with kerosene at
regular intervals. Kerosene is in
valuable in this connection, and it
is also good as disinfectant.
Chloride of lime, or common cop
peras (sulphate of iron) can be
thrown into cess-pools. Even the
water used in sprinkling carts can
be charged with disinfectants, and
will prove a valuable aid in keep
ing away the mosquitoes. The
proprietors of restaurants, meat
market, milk depots and bakeries
should be compelled to screen their
premises as we'll as all receptacles
in which water stands or food is
kept and prepared, in order to
guard against mosquitoes and flies.
