going out Of the lane. It was soon
discovered that no driver was present
The owner was quickly notified and
was not long making down the road
fully expecting to find carriage and
contents well distributed along the
road, 1t was expected the team would
GO directly to their home but on ar
rival there no team nor trace Of them
was to be found. After thorough
search further effort to find them
was decided useless, A little later
carriage was heard coming which
proved to be the missing one. They
had left the road somewhere but had
finally found their way home. An
investigation found nothing lost or
broken except hitch reign and bride
| bit. The party waited anxiously at
Ryan's to learn the outcome and then
went their several ways.

tive is a proposition worthy Of SER
ious investigation. Upon this sub
iect a recent publication from the
Kansas State Agricultural college
SAYS, whether artificial introduc-
ton Of the fungus among the bugs
will, under favorable conditions,
materially hasten its action is q prob
lem that calls for fundamental in
yestigation." This is an interesting
and highly important question and
in order to settle it II possible, the
University has detailed two men,
Professor Glenn Of the Department
of entomology and Professor Billings
Of the Department Of Bacteriology' to
give their undivided time and atten'
ton to an independent and funda'
mental research to determine the
efficacy Of the artificial introduction
Of this fungus. While they are en-
gagged upon this problem the Uniyer'
gity. through its department OF Ento
mology, will, when called upon, co
operate with the farmers and whea
growers through personal direction
and correspondence. This depart
ment strongly urges just now thu
burning over wherever possible OF al
places where the chinch bug is likel!
to be spending the winter
Farmers who wish to cooperate
IN this experimental work viii b
sent fungus infected bugs in returl
for packages Of bugs which they sem
lin to the University. In order tina
the supply for experimental worl
may not be exhausted. It will b
necessary to send with each reques
for fungus a goodly supply of chino
hugs.

HOW WASHINGTON LOOKED.

washington was six feet two inches
in height. His hair was brown, his
eyes blue and rather cold, his skin
clear and rudy. His nose was prom
inent. In youth he was slender but
during his service in the army he
weighed 200 pounds. His hands ana
feet were enormous. His boots were
No. 10. He was broad. though not
deep chested and exceedingly strong.
He could lift with one hand tent
folded about the tent poles, which
usually took two men to put into a
baggage wagon. He could hold mus
|ket in one hand and fire 1t. HIS
taste in clothes was plain, but fas-
tidious. He was very careful about
| his personal appearance. He never
wore beard or rnustache and acted as
his own barber. In his old age he
wore false teeth, which gave to his
face in the later portraits a severity
Of expression absent in the earlier
and probably more truthful likeness
es. stuart's portraits of Washington
are somewhat idealized. Portraits
by Trumbull and sharpless are con
sidered faithful In most respects
while that painted by Joseph Wright
in 1882 was highly approved ny
washington himself. The Houdon
statute at Richmond has generally
been accepted as the most accurate
Image Of the first president.
