History of Anatomy.

The way in which we are so fear
fully and wonderfully made" was
largely n mystery to the ancients. 1t
may be said that anatomical science
was practically unknown prior to .Aris
totle. 3S4 B. c. Before that date near
ly all that was known of anatomy was
derived from the dissection of the low
er animals. Aristotle did something
in the way Of science, but it was not
until the time of the famous AleXan-
drian school. century before and a
century after the birth of Christ. that
the anatomy of man began to be fair
ly understood The Ptolemies were
great patrons Of the science and were
the first who enabled physicians free
ly to dissect the human body. thus
frustrating the ignorant superstition
which had been so long compromising
the welfare of humanity Exchange

STRUCK A BED
OF QU!CKSAND

The sewer extension to take in the
second ward will in all probability
prove pretty expensive improvement
before the borough is done with it.
Up to the present very slow prog
ress has been made ON the branch
between the d. L. & W. railroad,
where it joins the main sewer, and
Beaver street. Scarcely more than one
fourth of the distance between these
two points is covered.
For short distance the pipe had to
be laid under the bed of Sechler's run,
where the water had to be diverted
Beyond this point, where it was
thought good digging would be found,
quicksand was encountered, which
constitutes the very worst conditions
conceivable for sewer construction.
At this point in the meadow the
pipe is laid at the depth of about ten
feet. Water, of course, was expected,
but along with this, under the strata
of dry sand lying next to the surface,
is deep mass of quicksand, which
makes progress we'll nigh impossible.
Cribbing, which suffices Ito prevent
the top sand from caving in, is no
help in dealing with the mass of
loose sand mixed with water, which
comes streaming into the trench un.
der and between the plank.
Yesterday in digging ibuckets for
the greater part had taken place of
shovels, but as fast as the trench was
deepened it filled up with quicksand.
Under the circumstances it was very
discouraging work. There is no tell
ing how far the bed of quicksand may
extend.
As provided by the plans the sewer
will cross the property of the D. l..
g. W. Railroad company near the cat.
tie pens. The borough long ago appli-
ed to the D. L. & w. company for
permission to cross its right of way
but up to yesterday no arge ement had
been reached.

RESULTS FROM
ONE SPRAYING

a business man, who was unable tC
arrange for more than one spraying OF
his trees for the codling moth, ON ac
count of scarcity of help, wrote tC
Professor Surface, State Zoologist, tC
know whether one application of the
Bordeaux Arsenate spray would be
sufficient, and whether the Professor
would recommend any change in the
formula.
The reply of Professor Surface was
to the following effect:
'Since you can only spray once fol
the Cooling moth, l can assure that
you can obtain excellent results by SC
doing. 1 would advise very thorough
spraying with considerable power, OF
at least seventy pounds pressure to the
inch, blowing the spray material well
into the caly or blossom ends of ap.
pies, pears and ounces. At the same
time you should use at least two pounds
of arsenate of lead in each fifty gal
Ions of water or Bordeaux mixture,
and three pounds of this poison will
do no injury. Since you are spraying
only once, it may possibly be better to
use it stronger.
''It is true that l have advised re-
duction in the bluestone, from three
to one and one-half pounds, for the
first spraying of the apple only. This
is to prevent russeting or browning of
the fruit by contact with the strong
or full strength Bordeaux mixture.
Such russeting does not always occur,
but it is liable to happen during wet
weather. 1t will not result from the
reduced formula.
lone Of the chief pests for which
you are to spray at this time of year
is, of course, Cooling moth. This is
killed by the arsenateSof lead and not
by the bluestone. II you cannot get
arsenate of lead readily, one-third
pound of Paris green to each fifty gal
Ions of the liquid will take the place
of two or three pounds of lead arsen-
ate. The Dluestone is used to prevent
plant diseases, and if you are particu-
larly anxious to get its highest value
as fungicide, and will stand the
slight risk of its russeting one side of
the fruit, you can, of course, use the
fullstrentgh Bordeaux mixture, which
means the three pounds of bluestone,
with four or five pounds of fresh lime,
instead of the half strength, which is
made by using only one and one half
pounds of bluestone. You may be as
sured that if you will spray thorough
ly with high power, fine nozzle and
a strong insecticide, one application
for the Cooling moth will be highly
efficient, and will repay your efforts
in giving you fruit comparatively free
from worm injury"

BERWICK WON
FROM DANv|LLE

lt was the hardest kind of game to.
loose-tbat one yesterday at Berwick
in which Danville was beaten by
score of to q Good pitching and
sterling support kept Berwick's tally
| column empty until the eighth when
several decisions on the part of UNI
pire Patterson allowed the car town,
club to score thrice and finish one point
to the good.
The feature of the game was Peck
Rowe's pitching. Never was the Mt.
Carmel boy in better form; time after
time he had the Berwick heavy weights
tanning the wind; he allowed Ber-
wick but five hits and registered nine
strike outs.
Bush was on the pan for Berwick
and pitched good game. He issued
no passes and struck ont eight Dan
Vile batters. Behind him the Berwick
team, with the exception of third
Baseman Flaherty, put up gilt edged
ball. None of Berwick's errors occur
red in the inning in which Danville
scored
DanvilIe's only tallying was done in
the third and both were earned runs.
Rowe drove clean hit to left field
and stole second. Umlauf hunted ad-
vancing Rowe to third and himself got
to first. He, also, stole second. Liven-
good, next up, hit long,fly to centre
field, which Metzler caught, but Rowe
scored on the sacrifice. Niple drove a
/ far one into left which was caught,
Umlauf scoring. Wagner went down
on grounder to the pitcher.
Berwick failed to tally until the
eighth, when Gilhooley hit to Veith,
the latter throwing to first and the
ball and runner arriving at the same
time, Nipple lost in the bump. Flaherty
bunted to Rowe, the latter throwning
to Livengood for a force put out, but
the runner was called safe on close
decision. Metzler also hunted Kelly
thIowning to third and the runner was
again called safe on a close decision.
| That filled the bases. Fisher flied ont
to Nipple. The Danville team was bad
ly shaken up by this series of adverse
decisions. Strine hit to Umlauf who,
made an overthrow to home ON which
Gilhooley and Flaherty scored. Hale
man then hit to Livengood who threw
to Kelly catching Metzler at the plate
Dagget hit to center field scoring
Strine and Bush struck out.
With Berwick one run in the lead
Danville tried hard in the ninth to
keep the game going. Hagy got life on
Flaherty's error. Veith then struck
out. Captain Nipple then told Young
to bat for Mackert. He hit a swift
grounder to Gilhooley who fell ON the
ball and tagged second, forcing Hagy
out. Kelly drove long fly to left
which Gilbert captured ending the
game.

Plant Misers.

table world In this respect, for almost

Mr.. Hyde when his wife timidly ex
pressed her desire to join the Woman'i
Self Improvement society.

my opinion. Let 'em follow st. Paul's

A Collectors Bargain.
Lord Spencer Of Althorp, one Of the
greatest VI DOOh COlleClOTS, was at
home only in his own field. One day
in browsing about Bond street, Lon
don, he went into the shop of a dealer
in bric-a-brac. The dealer, who knew
him by sight, said persuasively:
Here is a fine bit Of pottery which
your lordship really ought to have.
and you shall have 1t very cheap-only
guineas."
So Lord Spencer bought it and took
1t home and set it in high place.
One day a connoisseur of china paid
him visit, and Lord Spencer showed
his bargain.
What did you give for it?" asked
the connoisseur.
Two guineas." answered Spencer
rather proudly.
