REACHES IN
THE HOUSE.

The roach nuisance has been
brought to the attention of State
Zoologist Surface, by persons in diff
ferent parts of the State. The cold
winter, which resulted in brisk
fires being maintained to keep up
the temperatures inside of dwell
ings, may have resulted in these
pests becoming more numerous than
usual
A lawyer of Indiana, Pa, wrote to
Prof. Surface, saying: For some
time past | have been troubled with
reaches. They keep hid in cracks
during the day but at night come
out in large numbers. | think they
must have been brought to the house
with groceries. Everything is kept
clean and in as good condition as is
usually found about a well-regulat-
ed house, and still they stay. We
have tried various things in trying
to get rid of them. | suppose that
fumigating the entire house with
formaldehyde would be effective.
If you can give me any simple meth
cd of getting rid of them, l will
be grateful for the advice"
Professor Surface replied as fol-
lows:
These pests are quite persistent
invaders, and generally cannot be
exterminated by a single applica-
tion. For this reason a combina-
tion of methods is desirable. Pow
dered borax blown around cracks
they inhabit, especially around
damp places in the kitchen floors
will help to drive them away. Pow
dered sugar, one part, and plaster of
Paris, two parts, mixed together,
will prove to be a good remedy One
of the best remedies is proprietary
substance sold on the market un-
der the name of Roach Paste" or
Roach Food" ! should avoid the
PHOSPHORUS poisons, as they are
dangerous to use in the house. If
the annoyance caused by reaches
should reach the extreme limit and
it be necessary for you to fumigate,
you can do this safely with hydro
cyanic acid gas, although you will
have to vacate the rooms during the
time of the fumigation. | should
not attempt to fumigate for them
with formaldehyde, as | do not think
this would be efficient in destroying
reaches"

BOUGHT His Own Work.

To come across a bit OF ones own
work in print is an experience not or
dinarily exasperating TO an author;
but a Washington writer on scienthc
matters was recently not very agree
ably surprised by such development.
1t appears that the writer was collect
ing material for a monograph ON cleo
tro-magnetism, when word came 10
him of valuable paper on the sub
ject not long before published in
Berlin journal devoted to science.
Thinking that the paper would be OF
use to him in the work in hand, he
had it translated When the English
version was laid before him, together
with quite a bill for the translators

writer to find that the article was

DETECTING IMPURITIES
IN SULPHUR.

phur which he bought, and which
he believes was impure. as it did
not have the effect desired.
In replying to the request for in
formation as to where to get good

Surface said
Il cannot take the responsibility
of stating what dealers are selling
pure articles and who are not.
wish to state it as my opinion,
however. that some impurity in the
sulphur would make no difference
in the killing effects upon Scale
Perhaps it was not boiled until it
united with the lime, or was not
thoroughly applied, or rain fell soon
afterward, or some twigs were not
entirely covered, or something else
might have occurred to lead to poor
results.
you can tell the difference be-
tween pure and impure sulphur by
putting it upon a piece of sheet iron
and burning it. The pure sulphur
will be consumed without any ash
being left If the impure sulphur
contains volcanic ash, this will be
left behind, and, of course, can be
weighed to determine the amount of
mineral impurity.'

DEATH is PAINLESS.
II Comes as Naturally and Is as Wei.
come as Sleep.


The fear of death, which has been
so enormously exploited in dramatic
literature, sacred and otherwise, is
said to be almost without existence in
sickness. Most patients have lost it
completely by the time they become
seriously i'll.
Death and sleep are both painless,
according to DR.. Woods Hutchinson
in he American Magazine. and cause
neither fear nor anxiety by their ap-
proach. 1t is one OF the most merci-
ful things in nature that The over
whelming majority of the poisons
which destroy life, whether they are
those of infectious diseases or those
which are elaborated from the body's
own waste products, act as narcotics
and abolish consciousness long before
the emo comes.
While death Is not IN any sense
analogous TO s.eep, II resembles IL 10
the extent that 1t is in the vast major
ity of instances not only painful but
welcome. Pain raCked and fever
scorcaed patients long Tor death as
the wearied toilor longs tor sleep.
While any OF the processes Whlch
lead to death are painful. death itself
is painless, natural, ike the fading
OF flower or the falling OF leaf. Our
dear ones DRIFT out on the ebbing tide
OF life without fear, without pain,
without regret, save for those they
leave behind. When death comes
close enough so that we ran see the
eyes behind the mask, his face be-
comes as welcome as that OF his
twin brother" sleep.

Albert Repp, New Jersey, speaking
about apples, says: Taking the total
population of the United States and
dividing it by the number of apples
produced, it leaves but twenty-four
apples for each person from now till
July 1st. 1t is wrong, when we can
grow such good apples, not to grow
more; SO,O0O,OOO barrels would be
but one barrel each, yet we now have
but 100000 barrels on hand in this
entire country.

Recently the mountain was re-
