Hidden Wealth of India.

1t is estimated that 81 800 900 600
in gold, and perhaps as much in silver,
is hidden away in the Hindu stock
ings Vast quantities of the precious
metals are known to be kept in the
form of personal ornaments. From
time immemorial India has been a
reservoir into which the precious
metals have flowed from all quarters
of the globe, only to disappear from
statistics. Could the idle wealth be
drawn upon the effect on the industrial
and commercial life of the country
would be very great. 1t is, therefore,
matter of concern to try to turn In.
dia's dormant capital to active use. 1t
may be impossible to do it. The Orr.
ent mind views everything in a way
incomprehensible to westerners. But
If only a tithe of the concealed boards
of India were vitalized a new aspect
might be given to the conditions of
life in England's great eastern en-
pire.

JUSTICE AS SHE Is RUN.
POlander Who Runs Booze Joint in
Real Name and Justice Office
Under American Name.

The Mt. Carmel Item says :
Charles Krieger is justice OF the
peace in Coal township. He holds
a liquor license under his Polish
name, but the commission as justice
for the unexpired term of William
Lloyd, now county treasurer, was
issued under his English name. He
has very neat Office, elaborately
fitted, having, it is alleged, paid
Mr.. Lloyd 81, 500 for the furniture.
Last week fellow bought a hat in
Ludes' store at Shamokin. When
he got home he found that the hat
was broken, and he attempted to
return it to the dealer. But Mr..
Ludes was busy, and told him to
"come tomorrow" The fellow
brought suit before Justice Kriger.
The Squire heard the case through
out, and then remarked, 'Ludes,
you pay $I2.4o, fine and costs. 3"
Ludes yelled, 81 won't pay it; /

HOT APPLICATIONS FOR KILLING
BoRERS.
A York county fruit grower
wrote to State Zoologist Surface,
Harrisburg, inquiring whether he
had any experience i'll applying
boiling water around peach trees to
kill the borers. Professor Surface
replied:
II beg to state that / have not
used water alone, but | have used
boiling hot solution of caustic
soda in water, and l find that this
does the work when used in the
proportion of about one ounce OF
caustic soda or washing soda in
each gallon of boiling water. A
quart of this should be poured
around the base of each tree after
cleaning away the dirt and gum.
A quart of boiling hot water around
each tree would not injure it,
neither DO l think that it would
kill the borer. More than this might
prove injurious, but l do not know,
as l have not tried it. 1t is my
opinion that boiling water alone
will not kill borers.
"The best thing / have found is
to remove the dirt around the
trunks of the trees to a depth of
perhaps two inches, doing this from
the middle to the latter part of
June, and spray or wash the trunk
to height of one to two feet and
down to the base of the tree as low
as possible, using thick boiled lime
sulphur wash, with a sediment Of
lime in it, and then replace the soil
to its former level. This method i'll
my orchards this year has resulted
i'll less than one per cent. of the
trees being infested with borers."

Peculiar Form of Graft.

Edwin f, Marvin, conductor of the
national division of the Sons of Tenn
perance. was discussing in Bridgeport
Conn. a hagrant piece of bribery.
Bribery. like worm in fruit" he
said, "spoils all it enters. And what
won't it enter? A temperance society
in the middle west once had a splen.
did lecturer, reformed drunkard.
This lecturer, after year or so, was
discharged, An admirer asked why
he had been released, and the socie-
TVS president answered: Don't you
remember how he continually referred
to the irrestible seductions of cer-
tain brand of beer. attributing his
downfall to it? Well, it turns out that
the brewer paid him quarter for
every time h rang in the beers
name."

APPLE LEAF RUST.

A box, containing fruit and
leaves taken from an apple tree, of
the Summer Rambo variety, was
sent from Perry county, to Profess
sor H. A. Surface, for an explana-
tion as to the cause of the red rust
with which both fruit and leaves
were covered.
Professor Surface wrote in reply:
II have received and examined
the apple leaves which you sent to
us, and find these leaves infected
with the Apple Leaf Rust. This
disease, in order to come to perfec-
ton, must live part of the year on
one kind of plant and part of the
time on another. The red cedar,
which is one species of juniper, is
known as the alternating host.
Thus, if the red cedar trees be cut
down in your neighborhood, it will
help to suppress this pest. 1t sounds
at first like nonsense, to say that
the destruction of red cedar trees
Will help to prevent apple pests;
but this particular fungus disease,
known as Rust or Red Rust of the
Apple, cannot exist throughout
the year without having a season
in which it lives on the red cedar
in the form of little brown or
dark ball often seen thereon, and
commonly called cedar apples
During a favorable time in sum.
iner, little long filaments come out
of these cedar balls, or apples, and
produce a dust, which consists real
ly of great numbers of spores or
lnicroscopical seeds. These are car
ried by the wind to the leaves and
fruit of the apple trees, where they
penetrate the tissue and cause the
disease you have seen. Spraying
apple trees with Bordeaux mixture
would also be found efficient in
preventing this disease and pre-
serving the health of leaf and fruit. !"

The public will learn with great
satisfaction that the Reading rail-
road has started a campaign against
illegal car riders and proposes to
arrest and punish every one appre.
hended, says the Milton Standard.
These offenders are a menace to the
public in that their presence on
trains is responsible for many acci-
dents that occur and the attendant
loss of life and property. Crimi-
nails of all classes use the freights
TO get from one point to another.
They not only afford them increas-
ed opportunity to rob and commit
all manner OF crimes but to escape
after they have been committed.
The railroad company is not only
doing a good thing for itself but for
the public when it set about to
break it up.

TRANSPORT PRAIRIE
STUCK IN TIE MUD

PHILADELPHIA, Dec 3. - Th
transport Prairie, which left here yes
terday for the Panama canal zone am
possibly for Nicaragua, with 200 ma
rines, and went aground last night il
the Delaware river near Fort Delaware
is still fast in the mud and probably
will remain so until the next high tide
The transport is lying easy in soft
mud and thus far has sustained nc
damage. There is little wind and tht
river is smooth.
A determined effort was made to float
the Prairie at high tide at 4 o'clock this
morning, but thre tugs were unable To
bulge the big ship.
The Prairie was in charge of G.. L.
Lubker, a Delaware river pilot, and
was going down the river almost under
full headway when she struck. The
heavily loaded vessel hit the mud north
of Pea Patch island.
Rear Admiral Kimball and Captain
Kellogg Of the Prairie lost no time in
notifying the Philadelphia navy yard
fthe mishap. Assistance was asked
for, and Rear Admiral Harris sent the
government tug Modoc down the river
and at once engaged the Red star line
tugs Newcastle and Sommers n. smith,
both powerful craft, to help the Modoc
Make Preparations
All preparations were made to pull the
Prairie out Of the mud at flood tide at
4 o'clock. The tugs began pulling on
the big ship before the flood tide, how
ever, and continued to do SO until the
tide had fallen considerably.
The Prairie is in fun view of Fort
Mott on the New Jersey side of the
river; Fort Dupont. on the Delaware
side, and of Delaware City.
News of the unsuccessful efforts of
the tugs was sent to the navy yard by
wireless, and the government tug Sa-
moset and four lighters We're started
for Pea Patch island before daylight.
it is expected that Admiral Kimball
will have most of the marines taken off
and some of the cargo lightered.
The marines probably Will be landed
at the two forts. With the ship consid-
erably lightened the officers aboard feel
almost sure that the transport will float
on the flood tide this afternoon.
Two government lighters arrived at
the Prairie's side at II a. m. and
the other two came alongside two
hours later The work Of lightering
bunker coal and cargo was begun at
once.
The Prairie is not considered to be
2 dangerous position. Officers of the.
yard were aboard the Dixie today over .
looking the work Of preparing her for
sea.
In case the Prairie cannot be noated
soon the Dixie may be called upon to |
transport the marines aboard the /
grounded ship To Panama.
