A Metal of the Future.

Calcium Is by no means new me-
tai; it is abundant in nature, being
the metallic base of all so-called lime
compounds, and, therefore, forming an
important part of all animal skeletons,
the shells of shell fish, etc. Until re-
Gently, however, no use has been
made of it; in the pure metallic form
it has been simply laboratory curl
osity-a metal with the sheen of sill
yer and the hardness of ALUMINIUM,
very malleable and good conductor
of heat, but rusting SO fast in moist
air as to be practically impossible to
preserve.
Numerous uses are now proposed
for it, most of them as an element OF
various alloys. Enthusiasts are even
looking forward to a career for it not
unlike that of aluminium. It's greatest
probable use is as reducing agent in
metallurgy; 1t may be of great aid in
refining other metals, owing to the
readiness with which it combines
with oxygen and sulphur.
1t often forms, moreover, with i'm
purities compounds in which their
presence is less Objectionable. Its
combination with oxygen produces
great heat, and this may possibly be
utilized in the same way as the sim.
liar property of aluminium, in general
ing intense local heat for welding and
similar operations.

DESTROYING SAN JOSE SCALE
insect Attacks Many Different Plants
and Trees, But Particularly
Injurious to Fruit,

Most of the insects which infest or,
chards injure the crop and not the
tree. The San Jose scale, however, if
permitted to run it's course, will en-
tirely destroy the orchard. While as
many as sixty-five different plants and
trees may be attacked, the peach, ap-
pie and plum suffer the most. San
Jose scale is distributed by the ship
ment of infected nursery stock, by it's
own efforts and by man himself, as
we'll as by horses, birds and insects.
This insect is seldom seen, as it con-
ceals itself with scaly covering from
it's own body. The scale is very small,
one-twenty-fifth of an inch or less in
diameter, fiat and nearly circular in
shape, grayish, with the center raised.
Upon lifting the scale one finds a yell
lowish, soft-bodied creature without
legs or wings, but having long, slen-
der beak with which it sucks the sap
from the tree. Thousands of these lit
tie insects attaching themselves to
one tree will do much damage in a
single season. When found in an
orchard it should be cared for at once
Ordinarily it can be controlled by the
use of lime-sulphur solution, but in
case the trees are thoroughly infested
and nearly dead they should be cut
down and burned.

The non-magnetic yacht Carnegie
before~its departure on a 15-year trip
to survey the oceans of the world
was visited by Mr.. Carnegie. On his
tour of inspection, accompanied by DR.
l.. A. Bauer, who has charge of the
yachts expedition, Mr. Carnegie ex
pressed great admiration for the ap.
pearance of the engine room. The
surface of each small piece of brass
or nickel was mirror; no soiled
waste or greasy cloth was anywhere
to be seen.
Mr.. c. rnegie said he would like to
congratulate the person who was re-
sponslblG for the engine rooms ap
pearance. The man was sent for and
listened respectfully to Mr.. Carnegie's
praise. Then moving out of the room
he halted at the door, and, smiling
asked:
Excuse me, sir, Is this Just honor
able MENTION or does 1t carry &

II carried prize.

baron was Hungarian, and though
he claimed descent from Tassoni, the
famous Magyar leader, it was known
that this last scion of the Helynagies
lived in extreme poverty on the ances-
trail estates in the mountains. He
fought three duels and each time
wounded his adversary, in the last in
stance, fatally. This served as a
warning to future rivals.
To attain my object took just the
opposite course from that usual in
such cases I talked with the baron
on every occasion, frankly and freely,
but never said a word about the tails

quests, the baron was just in the mood
for making friend of woman dis
posed to treat him simply as such.
l sat thinking it all over one even

He came apparently to take leave of
me and carried something in his hand
which he deposited on the nearest
table. Then he sat down and glanced
about as if to ascertain whether he

division between the head and the
body; it has long antennae, or feelers,
it is in all forms a vegetable feeder,
and ravenous pest. In it's early
stages it is a small white worm, which
works underground, attacking the
roots of plants; in it's mature stage
it is beetle, and then it attacks the
upper part of the plant-in leaf, bios
som and fruit. There are two COM
mon forms of this pest, one a yellow
ish green insect with IL black spots
on it's wing covers, which is usually
found on fruit trees and high-growing
plants; the other somewhat smaller
in size, with stripes on it's wings, in
the place of spots, and which attacks
squash, melon and cucumber vines.
The ladybug, or ladybird, which is
the correct common name, is differ
ent insect, about the only resemblance
between the two being that some
ladybirds are nearly the same size as
the diabrotica. There are many species
of ladybirds, ranging from minute
specks to insects nearly three-eighths
of an inch in length, and of various
colors from dense black to bright red !;
but of whatever size, shape or color
they are always beneficial to the agri.
culturist. OF the ladybirds it may be
said that they are always carniverous
and never vegetable feeders. Their
whole diet consists of destructive in.
sects, and they are the one great
natural check upon the destructive
pests of orchards. The two great
classes of destructive insects upon
which the ladybird prey are scale in
sects and aphids, or plant lice, and
these they destroy by millions.

Save the Wood Ashes.

Save all of the wood ashes and use
around fruit trees as a fertilizer. Wood
ashes are especially good for peach
trees, and they will benefit all fruit
trees and vines. In using them as a
fertilizer do not place any against the
trunk of the tree, since the strong
alkali will spoil the bark. Scatter
them thinly on the soil over a circle
as big as the top of the tree. The
feeding roots run out further than the
longest branches of the tree.

The following story, though true,
should not be read in the daytime.

not an electric light or gas jet nor
even a petroleum lamp, but by one of

In shadow. Or better still, light no
lamp at all, but go out into the gar
den, and beside the pond where the
magnolias shed their intoxicating
fragrance and the moon it's silvery
rays, there listen to the tale of the
mandrake and Baron Helynagy.
I made the acquaintance of the
ptranger-and I do not say this to
give coloring of probability to my
tal0 but because-I really did know
hinn.-in the simplest and most COM

face nor his conversation-which diff
fered in no respect from that Of most
people whom one meets-seemed to
account for the air of mystery which
attended his presentation to me and
which seemed to imply that it was an
event of Importance. My curiosity
piqued, l determined if possible to OBJ
serve the baron closely. He seemed
to me man of refinement, with the
polished manners Of diplomat

the tailor and hairdresser. After half

all that I discovered only heightened
my desire to know more. I was told
that the baron was the owner Of a
talisman which like Balzacs "peau de

wish and to succeed in any undertake
ing. They told me of occurrences
which could be explained only by the
magic power of this talisman. The

BUG FRIENDS AND ENEMIES
Two important Insects Known TO
MISREPRESENTATION Species
Often Destroyed by Mistake.

Very much confusion prevails IN
the common naming of two very I'M
portant insects among the fruitgrow-
ers. writes John Isaac, in Orchard and
Farm. One Of these is classed as
among the worst pests with which
our. orchards are afflicted; the other
is in all ways and at all times bene-
fetal; yet, owing to this confusion OF
names, the beneficial species is often
destroyed under the impression that
it is injurious. These are the dia-
brotica, or as it is frequently called,
the "green ladybug," and the genuine
ladybirds.
In the first place, the green lady
bug" is not ladybug at all, and
should not be SO named. Its proper
name is diabrotica, and we know OF
no common name for it. It differs in
, appearance from the whole ladybug
family in being longer, more slender,
in having it's head distinct from the
body, in having neck or distinct
