Russia,s Free Tea Stalls.

The Russian government is com monly supposed to be autocratic and even despotie, but, like other autocra- cies, 1t has an odd way of being at times quite paternal. In St. Peters burg tea stalls are provided by the authorities for the prevention of the spread of cholera. The disease was traced to the use of polluted drink ing water, and accordingly the govern ment established these stalls all over the country for the supply of bever- ages that should be free from all sus- picion. The notice on top of the stall states that the sanitary committee provide hot water, tea and sugar free of charge to all corners. The attend ants are paid by the government, and are not allowed to take any money for their services.-Wide World Maga zine.

TO REFORM OUR PRISONS.

The annual meeting of the American Prison association has just been held at Washington. Expert penolog!stsv from all over the country exchanged views on ways and means of making wrong doers good citizens.
 President A. ". Butler strongly urged the prison-farm system of dealing with criminals. At least an acre of ground should be al- lowed each prisoner, said he. In this way they could be taught to do useful work, amid wholesome surroundings, and when they were released they would be able to take their place in the world. Other countries have adopted these agricultlr al prisons a nd found them splendid thing, he explained.
 President Taft in an addres $ warned the delegates of the danger of coniinng young culprits with oia ana hardened criminals. for then a prison beco mes a school oi crime. He also urged that prisons should not be ma de so comfortable that people woul d proposely con- nit of.enses in order to be sent there and takes l care of at public expense.

A Flower az Rsnt,

A dispatch from Flint, Mich, reports
that the local school board has secured
a ninety-nine year lease of a site for
a new school building at the rate of
one clover blossom a year. The man
who offered to rent the land on these
terms Is something Of q poet, and the
board in accepting the offer has en-
tered into his spirit and determined, It
is said, to make every year a eeremo-
NOUS payment Of the rent 1t Is a pity
that when sites are givon, as they 20
often are, the generous donors do not
exact some such rental as this, that
will require a touch at least Of beau
ty In the school yard. The requirement
OF bunch Of roses or Of some other
chosen flower which must be grown on
the premises under the children's care
would inject new, much needed
and delightful element into school life.

No Remedy For Pear Blight.

In reply to a fruit grower of
Lackawanna county, who sent
sample leaves and branches taken
from his pear trees, to Prof. Sur
face for advice, the latter gave the
following information:
The pear leaves which you sent
US show infection known as pear
blight. Unfortunately there is no
known remedy for this. The only
thing to do is to prevent its spread
by cutting out and burning the
blighted parts. Be sure to cut be-
low the blighted portions. Sterilize
your knife by dipping it into tur-
pentine, or formalin solution, and
wipe 1t on a cloth saturated with
such material. Soft soap, or kero-
sene oil, will serve this purpose.
Wash the stubs with common house
paint. Do not let them remain ex-
posed after cutting away the dis
eased parts. Gather and burn these
parts at once.
This pear blight is a bacterial
disease due to the bacterium within
the plant, and, therefore, it cannot
be reached by any external appli-
cations. 1t attacks apple, pear and
ounce, and is known as Black
Blight, Pear Blight. Twig Blight,
Leaf Blight, Trunk Blight, Body
Blight, etc. 1t makes large dead
areas on the branches and trunks
of trees, sometimes reaching even
the roots. One characteristic feat
ure is that there is a sharply cut
line between the dead and living
area of the bark. Sometimes, when
there is an infected area in the bark,
it may outgrow this by forming new
area( and at other times it becomes
a fatal and permanent injury. 1t is
recommended to cut out dead
places in the bark of the trunk and
branches, and sterilize them by
painting and washing with some an
tiseptic. The lime-sulphur solution
would be excellent for this. Then
the next best step would be to paint
them with some melted grating
wax.
1T has been reported to me sever
al times that cures have been effect
ed by the use of salt around the
roots. l have no infected trees on
my premises, and have had no oc-
casion to try this, but / have been
told by responsible persons that they
actually killed pear blight by re-
moving the earth around the roots,
and placing the salt on the roots
around the trees and replacing the
earth and then cultivating.

sap to all parts of the tree, and so
kill the scale
Is this treatment effective in kill
ing the scale without injuring the
trees? / shall be very grateful for
information on this subject"
In reply to this Prof Surface said:
His statements are false and his
method is wrong Several times un-
scrupulous persons have tried to gain
the confidence and obtain money of
the people of this state, by the state
ment that they are employed by this
Office or department. All such i'm
posters should be arrested for false
pretense, and such other charges as
can be brought against them, and
such imposition can then be checked,
even If they cannot wholly be stop
ped.
This office authorizes no persons
to treat or destroy trees, excepting
our regularly appointed inspectors,
who carry certificates of appoint
ment, stamped with the seal of the
Department of Agriculture and prop
erly signed. Also, we do no work in
treating trees, excepting that which
is done as public demonstration work.
inviting the public in to see how it is
done, as useful public lesson in the
community. More than this, we do
no other treatment of trees than the
pruning and spraying, being assured
that the best possible means of con-
trolling the San Jose scale and GER
tain other pests is by the use of the
spray pump.
No poison can be put into the sys-
tenn of the tree by injecting 1t under
the bark in such manner that it will
be taken up through the sap. You
will find the safest, cheapest and
more effective means of treating the
San Jose scale to be thoroughly
spraying with strong boiled lime
sulphur wash, applied at any time
while the trees are dormant. If they
are much infested you should make
two applications, one just after the
leaves drop, and another when the
buds are swelling in the spring"

Insects on Roots of Plants.

A Philadelphia manufacturer, hav-
ing a suburban home, has had
trouble with insects attacking the
roots of celery, lima beans and 9TH
er vegetables. His garden is situat-
ed near woods, and It was thought
that this might be the cause of the
prepuuderauce of these insect pests.
specimens OF the insects were sent
to Prof IL. A. Surface, state zoolo-
gist, Harrisburg, who after an eX-
animation OF them, wrote:
We duly received the lima beans
which you sent to us, and find the
insects on the roots to be aphids
or plant lice. The best thing to do
is to use tobacco dust abundantly
in the soil close around the plants.
Stir it In with cultivator, or bet
ter, with q hoe. Any of your plants
that are infested with aphids or
root lice should be treated in this
manner. The root louse is quite a
pest and attacks many kinds of
plants. Its presence is often indi-
Gated by the ants which you see 60
ing into the soil through holes in
the surface Of the ground beside the
plant. There is a natural relation
ship between the ants and the lice.
The former take care OF the eggs of
the latter, while the aphids furnish
the sweet liquid, commonly called
honey-dew, upon which the ants
feed. The ants themselves do not
injure the roots, but they take care
OF these pests, which are very in
furious, as you have found.
1T Is advisable to pull and burn
all kinds OF plants of which the
roots are infested, doing this at the
end Of the season, or as soon as it
is found that there will be no furth-
er need of them for the production
OF this seasons crop. Then culti-
vate the soil by frequent narrowing
" this be not done, it Is especially
important to rotate the crops, or
change to crops that will not be in
tested by this pest. Where one has
only small area of land, and cannot
readily rotate crops, 1t is especially
desirable for him to root out those
that are diseased or infested, and
cultivate the soil this fall. This
will greatly lessen the need Of rota-
ton"

Boiling Lime-Sulphur Solution for
Spraying.

From Waynesboro, Pa, in region
now known for it's successfully re-
stored industries, letter from, one
of the prominent fruit growers reach
ed State Zoologist II. A. Surface, OF
Harrisburg, stating that the writer
had failed to find in the Bulletins a
detailed discussion as to whether the
lime-sulphur solution, which is uni
versally being used in that region to
suppress scale and other pests, Is bet
ter boiled in an open vessel or in a
closed vessel.
DIR. Surface discussed this question
in his reply as follows:
"The reason you did not find dis
cussion in our Bulletin as TO wheth-
er the lime-sulphur solution should
be boiled in an open or closed vessel
is the fact that 1t does not make one
bit of difference. You cannot boil
it in vessel tightly enough closed
to keep in the steam. You doubtless
saw us boil it in an open kettle
We obtained good results by so do
ing. If you would boil it in a cover
ed vessel you would simply prevent
the rapid evaporation of water, and
perhaps hold the heat longer, but
there are no special points of value in
this.

CITIZENS AT SAN PEDRO
PROVIDE AGAINST FIRE

SAN PEDRO, Nov. 1O.-Landing
platforms for engines that may be
brought from Los Angeles for emerg-
ency use In case of a disastrous fire
have arrived at East San Pedro and
will be erected along the Salt Lake
track. Platforms will also be built
along the Southern Pacific tracks on
the west side of the channel for en-
gines that may arrive on special trains
With these precautions, and the use
of two fire tugs, the water front is
now we'll protected. A standpipe has
been erected on Smith Island for use
in case train could not be run nearer
the center of town on account of a
fire along the front. Salt water mains
will be laid in the business section for
use in connection with the fire boats
but until a new domestic water system
is installed the residence section will
be without protection other than the
automobile chemical engine. There is
scarcely any pressure on the domestic
water mains on account of the condi-
tion OF the water plant.

HOLD MEETING To FORM
NEW WATER DISTRICT

Instead of seeming to gloat over the
problem confronting Los Angeles in
regard to a judicious distribution of
the Owens river water, the surrounding
cities should be willing to work hand
in glove with that city in helping to
solve the problem" declared Peter
Anderson Of Alhambra at the COM
munity of interests commission meet
ing in South Pasadena last evening.
The gathering was the second held
since the commission composed of three
delegates from each of the civic bodies
of Pasadena, South Pasadena and AL
hambra was authorized to formulate
plans under proper enabling laws to
establish a water and sewerage district
for the benefit of the three munich
politics.
The meeting opened with a dis
cussion of the pros and cons of city
of the water question confronting the
three cities.
The question Of the three cites work.
ing together for supply of water from
the Big Tejunga was taken up, and
Engineer T. D. Allen of Pasadena de-
clared that there would be no legal
question as to the rights of the cities
to the flood waters of the Tejunga, but
that, in his opinion, the estimated
is exaggerated.
Allen also pointed out that claims of
an abundance of underground supply
remaining undeveloped were over
drawn, and he cited several cases where
wells have been sunk and good flow
of water procured for a while, but in
each case to the detriment of other
wells or reservoirs, which showed a
diminished water level in proportion as
~.
increase. His statements were borne
out by Secretary Watkins of the AL
hambra board of trade, who has been
manager of the Patton wells in the
original Alhambra tract.
The idea of developing water from
the San Gabriel narrows, owned by
Pasadena, was dismissed with but
little discussion, the opinion of all be-
ing that property owners in that sec
tion would raise legal questions as to
the right of Pasadena or any other city
to take the water from their land and
pump it to point estimated as 1000
feet higher.
The tentative conclusion reached was
that the three cities should form a
water district and, if necessary, bond
the district to bring the water from San
Fernando to point within the district,
then to ask Los Angeles to make rea-
sonable concessions in the matter Sf
constructing a distributing system and
furnishing water to the district at a
reasonable cost. The committees on
the Tejunga proposition and the Owens
river supply were instructed to con-
tinue Investigations, and the meeting
adjourned to meet at the call of the
chairman.

SANTA ANA FUGITIVE
REPORTED STILL FREE

SANTA ANA, Nov. 10.-A long dis
tance message from Chief Of Police
Wilson of San Diego, received here
this evening, contained the sensational
news that Rosario Sainz, the blue-eyed
Spanish Indian desperate, wanted for
the murder of Jose Machado, and who
was reported as captured near Te-
carte, Lower California, last week, is
still free man. He probably is at
large somewhere between Ensenada
and the border line between the two
nations. Details of how the mistake
regarding his supposed capture oc-
Cured were not given.
Alejo Macias, who escaped with
Sainz from the county Jail in this city
three weeks ago, is, however, sure
enough captive and was brought here
tonight, arriving at 1880 in charge of
officer Cervantes, the trip from San
Diago being made by automobile.
Macias. captured near Tecarte last
Monday, was turned over to Cervantes
at Tia Juana by Mexican rurales.
Macias is wanted on charge of for
gerry committed in Santa Ana. Inter-
esting revelations as to the marvellous

AIR DRUM Of VENICE
FIRE SYSTEM EXPLODES
Beach City Left Without ProteC-
ton from Flames Engineer
Has a Narrow Escape

VENICE, Nov. 10-With a roar that
was heard for some distance down the
beach the airdrum of the local salt
water high pressure system gave way
at 6.15 o'clock tonight and scattered
pieces of pipe and machinery all
through the power house. Too great
air pressure was given as the cause
of the explosion. Al Drew, engineer in
charge of the plant at the time of the
accident, narrowly escaped injury when
a large cast iron pipe joint was driven
among the wheels of the engine he was
Wiping.
The magnificent salt water fire pro-
lection system, the only thing of the
kind on the coast and one of the in
teresting features of Venice, was rem
dered entirely useless by the accident.
Drew was unable to account for the
explosion. He said he had left the
engine working regularly just a few
minutes previously. There was about
100 pounds pressure registered on the
gauge of the airdrum, although the en-
CINE is capable of producing pressure
of 220 pounds in case of, fire. This en-
glne also supplies the water for the
big Venice plunge. Chief Engineer
George Hubbard of the power plant
said that it will require at least two
days to make the necessary repairs.
