FALL WEB WORM
Will Do More Harm Than Gypsy and
Brown-Tails.

Will Do More Harm Than Gypsy and
Brown-Tails.
Prof. Carl Braun, entomologist, of Ban
gor, speaking OF the fall web worm, says:
"For the good OF the State and the in
formation Of the public generally, it is
about time that somebody pays attention
to the ravages Of this insect. The past
five years, according to my observation,
the insects have increased millions in
numbers. Every orchard in the State,
highways and byways are infested with
this pest. You cannot pass a road. but
you will see the denuded branches of elms
and fruit trees on either side. No one
seems to pay any attention to it.
"All who love the beauties of nature and
the preservation of the trees should go
energetically to work to destroy this pest.
The remedy is simple bisulphate of lead,
one:pound to fifty gallons of water, with
an ordinary garden sprinkler if nothing
ele, will do the work. II left alone in its
ravages, this insect will do more harm in
this State than ever dreamed of by gypsy
and brown tail. The gypsy and brown
tail cannot live in Maine to do any serious
harm.
''The fall web worm eggs are laid under
the leaves of the fruitl and shade trees in
June, to the number of about 800. The
young caterpillars, after Matching, COM
mence to spin web around the leaf, SINH
lar to the tent caterpillar, and after moult-
ing for time, the caterpillar extends its
web all over the branches. Eat maturity
the caterpillar spins a cocoon on the
trunks of the trees where it has fed, and
will emerge from thisl stagel the first Of
next June, and then .srepeats it's cycle.
The moths have increased to an alarming
stage, and it is about time: the people
should do something to extermine this
pest.
1.-THE moth is a white miller, and meas
ures one and three-quarters inches across
the spread wings. The caterpillar is a
hairy, notified, striped worm about an
inch and half long. Plenty of nests may
be found in almost any. door yard for
those who are interested.
august is the time to kill the adult
caterpillars, which are swarming over the
trees. Every branch. infested with this
pest will lose its vitality for several years
to come, and il the tree is in weak con-
dition, it will kill it in the next.season."

and so on until the snow ali slides on onto

and 90 on until the snow all slides on onto
the ground.
Lightning flashes nearly always occur
within clouds, and very rarely from cloud
to cloud, and still more rarely from q
cloud to the ground. 1t is very probable
that discharges from q cloud to the cart
take place only when cloud heavy with
moisture is carried by current OF air
part way down to the ground, evidenced
by the fact that lightning discharges to
the ground are nearly always followed by
a heavy downpour OF rain.
Thunder showers depend upon the rapid
condensation Of water vapor in the air.
After spell OF intensely hot weather the
air has picked up great quantity OF water
vapor and electricity. A sudden current
OF cold air condenses this vapor into
clouds and from clouds into raindrops.
This rapid condensation causes severe
lightning and consequently terrific thun-
der.
The nearer we get to the heat OF the
tropics the livelier the thunderstorms.
They have severe thunderstorms in New
England, but those storms wouldn't be
considered indicative of change OF the
weather in the southwest. There they
nave the very essence OF thunder and
lightning. In Colorado, where the water
power is extensively developed, the
electric transmission lines are frequently
struck dozen times in a single storm.
The lightning surging over these trans
mission telegraph and telephone lines
would destroy the electrical equipment il
1t were not for little devices very appro-
priately called 'lightning arresters,' y
which perform the very service their name
implies. These little ''arrestersD also pre-
vent the lightning from visiting the
houses over the telephone wires.
Thunderstorms would not be SO ter
rifying II it weren't for the mighty peals
and crashes OF thunder. 1t is very easy
to escape from the brilliant glare OF the
flashing lightning by seeking dark
ened room or by tying black silk hand
kerchief over the eyes, but it almost
impossible to get away from the heavy
thunder which at times seems to rock the
very earth.
All sound is but the vibration OF the air.
Thunder is the vibration Of the air on a
large scale, and, as everyone must know,
thunder is the product OF lightning. It
has been shown that lightning, in leaping
from one point to another, must first
break down or destroy the non- conduct-
ing air. In other words, lightning tears
and burns hole through the air in its
passage, leaving vacuum behind it. This
hole may be miles long. The natural
pressure OF the atmosphere is fifteen
pounds to the square inch. Surprising
that lightning tore hole in the air six
inches in diameter the pressure on a
square foot of this vacuum would be
nearly 5000 pounds, or more than 10000
tons mile. 1t is this mighty pressure,
and consequent rush OF air to fill and
equalize the vacuum caused by the light
ming destroying the air as it travels, which
produce the heavy vibrations known to
our ears as thunder.

part Of the year has been spent in the
very careful preparation OF six ADVERTISE
ments which shall exploit to the Ameri-
can public at large the advantages Of buy
ing New England made goods.
The association has already obtained
publicity to the value of thousands of
dollars, to begin in July, for the insertion
OF the these advertisements, which shall
advertise New England made goods, with
more to follow in mediums of both
general and local circulation, the
volume and value OF which will be diff
cult to compute. Special commentator
has been received from boards of trade for
this work, the first that has ever been
done to definitely advance goods manu-
featured in the section OF the country
which has always stood for pre-eminence
in manufacture.
This is q tremendous undertaking
which has been fraught with difficulties
requiring the most careful consideration
and handling, but it has been success
fully carried through and to-day is fairly
launched, with limitless possibilities to
the manufacturer and merchant of New
England.
Among the speakers who have been
attracted to the monthly dinners are such
men as Hugh Chalmers of the Chalmers
Detroit motor car, Erman j. Ridgeway,
publisher OF Eperybody's Magazine;
William c. Freeman, advertising manager
OF the New York Mail; Don c. Seitz, pub
Usher of the New York World; James s.
Storrow, OF Boston; Richard c. Mac
Laurin, president OF the Massachusetts
Institute OF Technology; Lorin F. Deland
and Herbert Kaufman, well-known BUSH
ness writer's; kalamazoo" Thompson,
E. E. Fowler, of the Boston Sales Mama
gers association, and others.
As the year comes to close and new
committees take up the work for 1901,
they find newspapers lending enthusiastic
support to the movement, and spirit
among the members which is bound to
accomplish far more than even the won
derful results which have been brought
about in this the first year Of the Pilgrim
Publicity association.

SAN FRANCISCO, April o.
Looks very much like AL Kaufman
and Philadelphia Jack O'Brien are
going to become really and truly
affinities, la Sam Langford aud
Jack Barry. When there's nothing
else in sight they string some ham
promoter nto matching them.
Pittsburg, which fell for the
Klaus-Ketchel twostep. was the
scene Of their latest spat. 1t took
place last night, and for three
rounds it was a perfectly proper re-
union. Then O'Brien got a faux
pas out of his system and slapped
Albert on the beak, bringing the
gore.
That made the big boy real angry
and thereafter he gave the con-
fesser quite an exciting time. The
first round was punk, the second
crowd hissed. 1t had had its dose
of an understood fight before
and wanted some real action. Then
came the bat on the nose and few
fireworks.
Louis Blot is paying an awfully
big price for the Tommy Burns
Sam Langford fight when he agrees
to split $4,000 between the fight
ers. How he figures it worth that
much money is hard to understand
Neither man is champion. one is
an ex-champion and business man
and the other has never figured in
a fight that has drawn even $4,000
Burns showing against Bill Lang
did not enhance his reputation very
much, and in the face OF this and
his defeat by Johnson he has an
awful crust to ask a small fortune
to fight Langford.
The one thing that stands in
Blot's favor is that he will bring
the men together in an inaccessible
spot, which will tend to help the
house. No better fight location
than old Central park, in the very
heart of the city, could be found.

George Ade:
Mark Twain's career was round
ed out to the satisfaction of his
most ardent admirers. He wrote
about Americans so as to let us
know of our weakness and follies
and extravagances and he yet
never seemed to be ashamed of us
and never caused us to be ashamed
OF ourselves. The charm of his
story telling has been conceded by
every one who reads English, but
when his work is summed up he
will be called a great satirist,
preacher and a reformer."
