lishment of these pests would BIS most
disastrous, inasmuch as control over
such extended forested mountains is
practically impossible.
When 1t is realized that these two
pests have bees widely distributed, on
imported nursery stock, in % states
during the years OF 1909 and 1910, and
are now coming in on imported stock
from France and Belgium, the danger
to the whole country is fully apparent,
and this danger applies to every or
chard and to every owner of private
grounds and also to our entire forest
domain. The tax from these pests,
should they gain foothold throughout
the country, as measured by the ex-
listing cost in New England, is almost
beyond estimate
In addition to the great monetary
loss, the brown-tail moth exercises q
very deleterious effect on health. The
hairs which cover the caterpillars of
this moth are strongly netting, and
not only are they so from accidental
contact with the caterpillar which may
fall on clothes. face, neck, or hands
from an infested tree, but also from
the myraids of hairs which are shed
by these caterpillars when they trans
form to the chrysalis state.

Just Hopes.

A gentleman never snatches his
trousers away from his wife when he
discovers her going through his peck
cts. He only hopes she will leave him
enough with which to go downtown in
the morning. He is perfectly welcome
to go through her purse any time and
help himself to anything he can find.
That is what married life means. A
man should not allow his feelings to
be hurt when his wife runs across
loose change or a roll in his pockets;
he ought to play the game and take
such little conjugal pastimes for
granted.

Uncle Hiram's Experiment
By LAWRENCE ALFRED CLAY
(copytight. 1917. by Associated Literary press)

The old farm had been sold-the
farm that Hiram Jackson and his
bride had come to three days after
their marriage. That was a long
thirty years ago. Both husband and
wife were now over fifty, gray-haired
and bow-backed. There had been
years and years of the hardest toll
sickness-debts-ac but man
and wife had worked together and
had conquered
That evening. as they sat on the
veranda and the sun went down there
was a lonesomeness they had never
felt before. Selling the farm was
tearing their world up by the roots.
That day as he chatted with a
neighbor the neighbor had said:
Well, Uncle Hiram, make out
that you are fifty-three years old. and
you have done heap of hard work.
l wouldn't take you for over forty,
however. II you was to dye your
hair. shave up and put on a good
suit of clothes you'd pass for a spruce
young widower out west, where you
are going. Good wife you have got,
but it's pity you are married. You
ought to have a chance to run around
and see life"
Both laughed at the remarks. but
they stuck with Uncle Hiram. He had
tofled like slave. He had never
been twenty miles from the farm.
He had never attended circus. To
bed at eight o'clock-up in the morn
tng at five; pillow. plant, reap-that
WAS the daily routine. Then there was
milking to be done, hogs to feed,
wood to cut. He had gone through
all this without complaint, but just
now he was feeling the bitterness
OF It,
Uncle Hiram turned a bit to look
at his wife. In his selfishness he
gave her little credit. She had done
her best. She had often taken the
place OF a man in the field. II age
showed more on her than on him, IL
her hair was whittier, II she was more
stopped, If her face carried more
wrinkles, he should have felt more
tender. But he didn't. His bitter
ness was all for himself He had
planned to go west and buy another
farm. He must take the "old woman"

MELTS STEEL AWAY
Marvellous Power Of New Oxy-
aceteiine BIow-Pipe.
Cuts as Clearly as a Saw and Goes
More Quickly Through Inch steel
Than Saw Would Through
Wood

Chicago.-Every day u practical
demonstration is being given on the
streets OF a new device before the
marvellous power of which steel be
comes like paper.
The oxyaceteline blow-pipe is the
device. 1t is being used to cut out
the big steel pillars of the elevated
loop which are being removed to
make room for through route surface
cars to turn street corners. The proc
ess also is being used in cutting out
old steel piles which interfere with
the work on the new La Sale street
tunnel.
Thousands of Chicagoans have
watched with amazement the action of
the tiny blue flame OF the blow-pipe
upon the massive steel of the elevated
pillars. Before 1t the steel melts
away, vanishes in gas. 1t cuts as clean
ly as saw, and goes more quickly
through inch-thick steel than saw
would through soft wood. Inquiry
proved that the marvels of the oxy-
aceteline blow-pipe have been known
to scientists for a very few years;
and commercially they are just becom-
ing known.
So far as is known, the device has
never been used for criminal pur-
poses. But experiments have proved
that the flame will cut through the
strongest safe as easily as through the
elevated pillars. Before II the most
cunningly devised vault walls become
like paper. Manganese steel, upon
which the hardest drills have no eff

Just why steel melts before the
flame scientists do not know. The
flame is produced by combining pure
oxygen with aceteline gas. The acct

who had known the man the longest

When he finally started away there
seemed much pretense in the part

altogether unprepared for what soon
