Utilizing Volcanic Steam.

An Italian engineer, Signor Ginori-
Cont, has put into practice the curl
GUS idea of utilizing the steamjets
from the natural vents called suffioni
for driving motors. Suffioni abound
in certain parts Of Tuscany, and in
other ancient seats of volcanic energy.
Jets of water vapor, at high temper.
ature, are discharged from them with
great regularity. Some of the suffi-
oni in Tuscany, according to Signor
Ginori- Cont, have remained invaria-
BILE in their discharges during Is
years that they have been under OBJ
servation. He thinks that consider
able amount of mechanical energy can
be derived from these sources. One
of the principal difficulties in the
utilization of this natural steam arises
from the corroding acids that abound
in 1t.

ABOUT CANKER WORMS?
State Zoologist Examines Apple
Twigs From Mercer and Reports.

IWlgS From mercer anu REPORTS.
A Mercer county fruit grower has
written State Zoologist H. A. Sur
face that there appears to be some
thing wrong with his 100 12-year
old apple trees and encloses speci-
mems for examination and informa-
ton as to the trouble and remedy.
The professor replied: THE apple
twigs sent are infested with the fall
canker worm. The eggs are just
Matching. This is the fellow that,
as it becomes larger, is known as the
looper, span worm and measuring
worm. There is only one thing to
do now, and that is to spray all the
infested trees with an arsenical pois-
on. Use either one-third pound of
paris green or two or three pounds
of arsenate of lead in fifty gallons
of water. AS this is about the right
time for one of the sprayings for the
codling moth, you will not lose any
thing by making the application of
the poison at this time. 1t will in
sure the destruction of this pest,
which otherwise might destroy your
leaves and fruit crop for this year,
and will also help to insure fruits
free from the worm commonly
known as the codling moth.
1T is also advisable to make up
the Bordeaux mixture by using three
pounds of copper sulphate and four
pounds of lime in fifty gallons of wa
ter, and add your arsenical poison
to this the same as though you were
going to use it alone. Thus you will
have a spray that will not only kill
the young canker worm and the
codling moth larva, but will also
prevent plant diseases which might
otherwise attack leaves and fruits
of your trees.
1T is very important that your
spraying for this pest be done soon.
| would advise you to prepare to
make the application just as soon
as possible, as this will help you to
prevent the severe destruction of
leaves, which will mean a loss of
fruit for this year, and a drainage
upon the vitality of the tree, so that
it will not set good fruit buds for
next year. Prompt action is one OF
the most important points in the de-
struction of the canker worm"

Delaware River Jersey Town Wants
Postal Savings Bank.

Postmaster John w. Davis of Bur-
lington, n. j., doesn't believe in put
ting off important business until the
eleventh hour. The fact that he
was one of the first men in the
country to apply to the government
to have his postofIice selected as
postal saving bank, under the new
law enacted by Congress, is evidence
of his adopted policy of striking
while the irons hot"
Long ago he noticed that foreign
laborers employed in the town and
vicinity were sending back to the old
country hundreds and thousands of
perfectly good American dollars an
nually. And as a rule, the foreign
money orders out of Burlington
alone would net $1,000 a week.
Farmers, many of them, he OBJ
served, were still dubious about
placing their hard-earned cash in
local banking institutions, and were
resorting to the family money chest
or to the antiquated idea of burying
the dollars somewhere they imagined
would be safe" They had heard
too much about the banks being
looted by trusted clerks and en-
ployes, who had proved themselves
untrustworthy.
The postal savings bank met these
two propositions, in the estimation
of Postmaster Davis. And when
the law was passed he said he was
of the opinion that much of the mon
ey that had been going across the
Atlantic at regular intervals and in
increasing large amounts could be
kept here in the United States. The

ABOUT THOSE FREE BRIDGES.
Expense of Repair and Maintenance
to be Borne by State.

A story is being circulated in this
county, probably for political effect,
that in the event of the state buying
the bridges and making them free
the burden of their repair and main
tenance will be placed on the coun-
ties in which they are, says the Mil
ford Press.
Mr.. Marvin, who is chairman of
the commission in Pennsylvania,
says there is absolutely no truth in
the story, that the bill which he is
preparing will provide for all ex-
pense in connection with free bridges
being borne by the states. With
some few exceptions along the Del
aware the bridges pay small divid-
ends to stockholders, and they are
at best risky property.
In the case of Milford bridge, af-
ter the one was carried away in
SIS it became a grave question
whether a new bridge could be built,
but the great Inconvenience and SER
ious loss of trade was incentive to a
number to rebuild. A debt was in
Cured and the stockholders waited
for 10 years, while the receipts
were being used to pay off the debt,
before they received a dividend.
There was more sentiment than
profit in the venture, but it was real
lied that the town and citizens of
New Jersey were suffering loss in
business because of its absence. 1t
benefits the whole county, as does
the one at Dingmans, which is also
financially unproductive, and even If
the adjoining counties had to bear
some share of the cost of maintain
ing them the people could well af-
ford to do so for the sake of the
accommodation they afford.

The Jamaica Firefly.

The Jamaica firefly, species over
an inch in length, emits a very bril-
liant light, which comes from the sides
OF the head and beneath the thorax.
The light is a fiuctuating one and not
the steady glow of the glowworm. A
very remarkable fact is that this fiuc-
tuating or pulsating light may con-
tinue after the death of the animal.
If we suppose that the light of the liv-
ing insect is due to oxygen supplied
under its control to the luminous mat
ter we may conclude that after death
the oxygen of the air might obtain ac-
cess 10 it and produce like effect. 1t
is difficult, however, to account for the
pulsations in the light Of the dead
firefiy.

good case for the rat. Not only has he
served as food-Dr. Kane on his
Polar expedition attributed his COM
parative Immunity from scurvy to the
soup made from the rats which his
servant shot with bow and arrow
but Mr.. Frank Buckland has suggest
ed that their skins are eminently suit
able for glove-making. At any rate,
rat-skins have sometimes been used
as clothing, for we read of lady at
Glasgow who had pair of shoes from
rat-skins, which were as soft as the
finest kid, while by way of freak a
complete suit of rat-skin was once
made by a Cornish miner.

GALL FOR THIRD PARTY.
Document Is Out, With 81 Sigma
tures-Convention July %.

The official call for the independ-
dent party state convention to be
held in Philadelphia Thursday,
July 2S, was issued Sunday and at
tached to it are the names of 81
citizens.
After the great heralding of the
alleged strength and popularity of
this movement, a glance over the
list of names appended to the docu-
ment made public Sunday must
prove disappointing to those who ex-
pected to find an imposing array of
prominent and influential Pennsyl
vanians identified with the cause.
Such an aggregation of profession

holders, rejected or disappointed
place hunters, and habtual notoriety
seekers with a few well meaning,
easy-going cash producers for any
old thing that is labeled reform"
has rarely been presented to the
voters of the commonwealth.

such as have been employed in the
various anti-Republican campaigns
in Philadelphia and this state during
the last twenty-five years. ring
throughout the address to the Free
men of Pennsylvania" and recall
many previous efforts in the same
direction with which not a few of
the gentlemen whose names are now
exploited were conspicuously identi-
fed.
Behind this stage setting of the
leaders in the movement will be
found the same old tactics, the same
old methods and the same old ma
chinery of political adventures, who
will frame up the slate of candidates
for the convention and put it
through, if possible, with character
istic disregard for criticism of boss
ism or gang rule" which they so
vehemently and persistently employ
in condemning the men who domi-
nate the affairs of other party or

dress giving sincere men who are
looking to the new party to accom-
plish reform of real or imagined
evil an inkling as to how they can
figure in the convention or as to the
ism or gang rule" which they so

WEIGHT OF TIE nRAIN.
Difference Between savaees and
Races Lona Civilized.

Prof. Frederick w. Mott, lecturing
before the Royal Institution of Great
Britain on THE Brain said that al
though in SS per cent. of the cases in
which the brains of great men had
been weighed the weight was above
the average. brain weight Itself did
not always mean brain quality.
When there was lack of the func-
tionating tissue, the lecturer explain
ed, the structural material might re-
ceive more than its normal share Of
nourishment and the extra weight be
due to overgrowth of brain scaffold-
ing" This accounted for the very
large and heavy brains sometimes
found in congenital idiots. Pointing
out that the brain weight of a race
long civilized surpassed that OF
aborigines. the lecturer stated that
whereas the ordinary European hospi-
tai patient had n heavier brain than
a savage, the Chinese coolie laborers
brain, developed by centuries of use,
weighed 1 1-2 ounces more than of the
European hospital patient.
Referring to the relative brain
weights of Caucasion men and wom'
en-, Prof. Mott said that the female
brain had a good start. weighing near
ly 1-2 ounces more than the male
brain at birth. In adult lift however,
the average mans brain weighed
about 1-2 ounces more than the
woman's.
The average weight of the Euro
pean male brain was 2 pounds 10
ounces 8 drains to pounds 16 ounces
9 drains and of the female brain 2
pounds 10 ounces II drains to 2
pounds 10 ounces IA drains. Among
savages there was not this difference,
since in the struggle for existence the
female had to apply her brain as fully
as the male, hence it has developed
at practically the same rate.
