The SuPZ Canal.

1t is certain that in ancient times
a canal connecting the Mediterra-
mean and Red seas did exist. Hero
dotus ascribes its projection to
Pharoah Necho, 500 B. c. The hon
or of its completion is given by some
to Darius, by others to the Ptolemys
How long this canal continued to be
used we do not know; but, becom-
ing finally choked up by sand, it was
restored by Trajan early in the sec
ond century A. D. Becoming again
useless from the same cause, it was
reopened by the Caliph Omar, but
was finally closed ny the "uncon-
querable sands" about A. d. 767, in
which state it has since remained.

Why.

Hubert Henry Davis, the play
wright, who has spent much time in
London, tells of an amusing inter-
view between the owner of a publ
cation in the British Capital,
whereof George Bernard Shaw had
been the dramatic critic, and Max
Beerbohm, on the occasion of the
latter's assumption OF the duties
laid down by G. B. S.
The owner advised Max of the SAL
airy that had been paid George Ber-
nard, observing at the same time:
Being comparatively inexperi-
enced, you, Mr.. Beerbohn, cannot,
of course, expect so much"
"Oh yes, l SHALL" hastily inter-
posed Max. Indeed, l shall expect
more Shaw knows the drama so
thoroughly that it is an easy matter
for him TO write of it, whereas l.,
knowing nothing whatever about it,,
shall find it dreadfully hard work."

rarely returning until their baskets

DEALING WITH
PEACH YELLOWS.

The proper method of dealing with
peach trees affected by the disease
known as yellows continues to be a
serious subject with fruit growers.
Most fruit growers are satisfied to
rip out a tree so diseased without
delay and burn it on the spot. Prof.
H. A. Surface, the State Zoologist of
Pennsylvania, has been conducting
a series of experiments with trees
showing symptoms of yellows, but
does not consider the results thus
far obtained as being sufficiently
conclusive to base public directions
upon them.
In a letter addressed to the Secre-
tary and Treasurer of an Allegheny
County Farm and Fruit Company,
which has over 10000 bearing peach
trees, Prof. Surface answers an in
quiry in regard to peach yellows in
the following manner
Il am not fully satisfied with the
results of my studies and expert
ments with the peach yellows. Many
trees treated by me last season,
which were apparently infected,
grew out of the trouble, and are now
in good shape, while a similar per-
centage got worse instead of better
1t is my opinion that the disease
known as the yellows is not always
due to the same cause, and, conse-
quently, is not always to be remedied
by the same means. In general, l
would advise an inexperienced per-
son to pull the trees and burn them
right on the spot taking care that
the infected branches do not come
in contact with the living branches
of healthy trees.
However, in regard to studious
and careful person like yourself, it
is different; and | would recommend.
'dehorning' them while dormant, and
hauling or carrying the brush from
the orchard-not dragging it-be-
ing careful to avoid letting it come
in contact with the branches of
healthy trees, the brush to be burn
ed on hot fire as soon as possible.
As a matter of economy, the larger
wood can be used as fuel for house
hold purposes or elsewhere. A good
use would be for boiling the lime
sulphur wash, which should be
sprayed on all peach and plum trees,
while leafiess, whether infested with
scale or not.
After dehorning | should mulch
the trees with almost any kind of
covering that / could put around the
roots, preferring strawy stable ma
nure. In the early spring, ! should
give the soil dressing with a COM
plete fertilizer, in which nitrogen
would predominate, obtaining this
from different sources. such as nit
rate of soda, dried blood, and tank
age. l should give special care to
the cultivation and if necessary, to
the watering of these trees. l be-
lieve they will grow out of it, as
nine-tenths of mine have done"

FLOWERS IN SEALED BOXES.
A Scheme of the Florists Which Pre-
vents in Leakage in Delivery.

Florists have hit on a new wrinkle
In delivering flowers. After he
flowers have been packed in boxes
and the boxes are tied up in fancy
style with ribbon, the ends of the
ribbon are sealed to the box with
wax and the florists private mark
stamped thereon.
This is not to add style to the
package, but serves a strictly useful
purpose. 1t was not an uncommon
occurrence for flowers to leak on the
way.
Two oxen American Beauties
would shrink to one dozen. Some
times the chance of detection was
slight, as the recipient would not
know how many flowers were sent
in the case of a gift, and in the case
of large order few persons would
take the trouble to count them, and
a half dozen might well slip way
unnoticed.
So the florists seal the packages
now and temptation is removed
from the path of those who deliver
them.

Steel from the Ore.

Two Australian inventors have
found a new process for the continu-
Gus treatment of iron ore, which is
to be exploited throughout the
world. 1t is a process for directly
converting the ore into malleable
iron or steel, and is said to effect
a saving Of 25 per cent. After the
ore is concentrated it is passed
through a revolving cylinder and
brought into contact with the deoxi-
dizing gas; thence It falls into a bot
tie of molten iron and is converted
into steel or malleable iron, the
whole process being automatic.

GRANGE.
AvERGREEN TREES IN
BAD CONDITION.

Specimens of twigs and bark of
evergreen trees, supposed to have
been damaged by scale insects, were
received from Washington county
Pennsylvania, at the Division of
Zoology of the Department of Agri-
culture, Harrisburg, with request
for information as to the cause of
their impaired condition. One of the
specimens was from tree that ap-
peared to be diseased when 1t was
planted some twenty years ago, ac-
cording to the correspondent, who
stated that lit has never done any
good"
Professor H. A. Surface, the
Economic Zoologist of the State, in
reporting upon the specimens, wrote
as follows:
." have received the twigs and
bark of your evergreen trees, which
you sent to me, and must confess
that | can not find any insects pres
ent, and the subject of plant diseases
belongs to the specialist known as a
plant pathologist. For that reason
would advise you to send some of the
supposed diseased bark and twigs
to Prof N b. Waite, U. S. Plant
Pathologist, Department of Agricul-
ture. Washington, d. c. Also, if
you wish, you might send some twigs
to Professor Hugh Baker, Forester
State College, Pa.
1T appears to me that the tops of
your trees are too dense, or, per-
haps they are too much shaded
would advise cultivating the ground
about them, and opening out the
tops by little pruning. Some fer
tIlizer containing phosphoric acid
and potash, such as would be obtain
ed in phosphate rock and wood
ashes, should be mixed with the soil
around the roots. If the specialists
in plant diseases, to whom you write
and submit specimens, have different
directions to give you, | would rec
ommend you to follow their direc-
tions rather than mine. However,
in the absence of any directions
from them, l am sure that what
here give you will not prove injuri-
Gus, but, on the other hand, will be
helpful"
