AIRSHIP DESTROYER
EXPERIMENTS HERE
Secret Tests Are Being Made by
Santa Clara College Men for
Government

Santa Clara. Calif.-As the torpedo
boat in warfare was followed by tn
invention of its Nemesis, the torpedo
boat destroyer. so the success of the
aeroplane as a martial weapon has
induced the invention of theaeroplane
destroyer. which is now being perfect
ed with the utmost secrecy under in
struction from the Board of Ordnance
and Fortifications of the L. s. War
Department.
The experiments are being made
IN the mountains east of San Jose by
the inventor. f. NJ. Rossi. and his
mechanican, V. Joseph Cornaggia.
The designs are already in the
hands of the War Department which
have exclusive rights and conse-
qucntly no complete description is OBJ
tainahle from the men whose work
of two years has resulted in the pro-
duction Of the destroyer of aircraft.
Assertions made by them previously
are to the effect that their appara-
tus has cut half-inch iron bars Of a
gate at a distance of 200 feet, while
at the same distance it has cut in
twain the links of a heavy horse

played a strenuous role in the pursuit
Of a runaway from Flatbush to East
New York He had on a new uniform
when the chase started but when he
got to East New York he had to bor-
row barrel in which to bo home.
The runaway, a big bay, was at
tached to a light buggy, in which sat
H. Cohen. Doherty made a flying
leap for the runaway, but missed the
bride by an inch and made a con-
siderable dent in the roadway He
scrambled to his feet and, pressing
an auto into commission, gave chase.
Then, just as he leaped from the
running board, the horse increased
its gait and Doherty made another
dent in the asphalt He jumped
aboard the auto again and Cohen tried
to grab the policeman, but just as
Doherty jumped Cohen tainted and
Doherty was kicked by the flying
horse. In the auto again he renewed

ATLANTA RED ON TRAMPS' MAP:
WILLIES FEAR JUDGE BROYLES

Savannah, Ga.-"On the tramp map
Atlanta is marked with a red cross,
which signifies danger; place to be
avoided"
This is the assertion of Staff Cap
tain w. A. French, of the Salvation
Army, in charge of the Industrial de-
partment of the army in the south.
He is in Savannah for the purpose of
trying to re-establish he entents
cordial between the municipal gov
ernment and the Savannah post
Until very recently the city has
been allowing the local post of the
Salvation Army $50 a month and in
return the army has cared for the
merdicants sent to its home by the
police, or from the city hall. Several
days ago the mayor and city council
decided to stop this payment and give
the money to the Associated Chari-
ties The local post now refuses to
accept persons sent by the city au-
thorities and Field Captain French is
here for the purpose of trying to
iraighten out the wrangle.
Few tramps voluntarily drift into
Atlanta" says Captain French, in
discussing the tramp problem. IF
they are experienced or well inform
ed they give that city a very wide
berth. Recorder Broyles. in Atlanta,
is holy terror to tramps. They are
dealt with as vagrants there and are
either driven out or forced to work.
Recorder Broyles is known among
the professional iourneymen as The
Wolf"

DOG EXECUTES ANOTHER.
Finds and Kills Dangerous Animal
When Police Fail TO Slay II.

PlttSDurg, Pa.-ReSluentS OF East
Pittsburg are marveling at the super
canine intelligence exhibited by a
bulldog the property of Policeman
Bennett. For the past several days
the borough has been excited as the
result of a dog suffering from rab-
bies, swapping at the children on the
streets and attacking other dogs. The
police made every effort to capture
the animal.
When they had about given up in
disgust, the Bennett bulldog stepped
into the breach. Leaving the police
station it made search for the much
wanted intruder and overlook it near
the front porch of the Bennett resi-
denCe The bull gave on leap and
made short work of the rabies-in-
fected animal, almost chewing off its
head. Bennett is fearful lest his bril-
liant bulldog contracted rabies from
the dog it killed although there is
apparently not a, scratch on the bull
dogs body or head.

army officers who took part in the
international horse show in London,

Henry and Lieutenant Johnston are
expected soon. -
Our horses were in fine condition."
said Major Foltz. 1--WE arrived ten
days before the show, which gave
them a chance to get acclimated. They
performed as well as ever. but the
prizes were won by horses especially
schooled. The French won the great
est number of prizes, the Russians
came next and the Belgians third. We
took an unexpected fourth prize and
a couple of honorable mentions in
the horse and hunter class. The
hurdling contests were the most diff
-icu!t 5u. the experience was val
liable, and we are confident we can
do much better next time"

CHERRY TREE DISEASES.
Leaf Troubles May BE Prevented by
Intelligent Spraying.

Leaf-spot and Midew-the first
named disease is caused by what is
called "Shot-hole Fungus and may be
successfully prevented by the use of
bordeaux mixture, except that only
half the strength Of the mixture may
be applied with safety to the foliage
Of the cherry. The mildew Is usually
found chiefly upon sprouts and young
shoots. If spraying is required for
midew, two applications viii probably
be very satisfactory,
Loaf-gpot symptoms are everywhere
abundant and are really Of very di-
verse origin, In any example In which
the leaf tissues are locally inyatcd by
a parasitic fungus We may expect evil
dent effects. In the downy mildew
troubles there may be wet-rot symp-
toms when the weather Is moist after
tho leaves have become badly d.
sCased they may appear 70 die very
suddenly because the gradual invasion
of the areas has been overlooked. In
many other leaf diseases no such repid
multiplication or reproduction OF the
parasite Is possible and limited dead
patches or spots are the result.
These leaf troubles are commonly
very evident during the rainy seasons
and are preyentable by spraying the
foliage of the diseased plants at re-
pealcd intervals, thus leaves to arres
renewed spore development.
