Hectrocuting Insects

Electricity as an agent to destroy
| the coddling moth is described in
The Electrical Review and Western
Electrician (Chicago) as the largest
innovation of modern app orchard
ing in the Spokane valley where w.
I'M. Frost, inventor of the device.
and j. C. Lawrence. practical
grower of Spokane, recently made
demonstration: We read:
"The apparatus consists OF
storage battery to operate i2candes-
cent lamps netted with fine steel
wires. Attracted by the bright
light in the tree to which the globe
| is strung, the moth fles against the
network, completes the electric cir
cult and is instantly killed, the body
dropping into receptacle beneath
the globe. Mr.. Frost thinks that
one apparatus to an acre of trees
will keep the moths under control.
thus eliminating spraying and saw
ing many dollars for, equipment and
fluid. If central station service is
extended to the orchard tracts as
they are in the Spokane valley, the
expense Of batteries may be saved
by making a direct connection and
using the commercial current. The
cost Of covering the globes with wire
net is small item. "

Gilchrist of Florida-large bodied

tined with the broad southern &C.
cents Of his voice. charmed his
hearers and claimed their closest at
tention when he spoke: and he
spoke often. and everyone present
would have been better pleased had
he spoken still oftener.
Although not past middle age, he
was one of the few bachelors pres
ent; why, do not know. as his de-
vOtiOn to the fair sex was at all
times apparent. So much SO, in
fact, that Gov. Spry, of Utah. and
myself, who were constantly with
him during our New York city visit,
almost persuaded him to attend the

on woman's suffrage. Coy. Haw-

For the past week or two the

that snow has fallen in many places.
and that raw and disagrceablc wealth

When it was cold here the people

Having the subject brought up by
an outsider, we turned to an out

this: There is hardly one person in

TURN ON THE GAS LIGHT.

Perhaps some q rS Lave imagined
that the gas question for Lakeland
had but one side, and could be SET
tied without argument Some time
ago. Mr.. Sloan very wisely suggested
that sufficient time be taken in de-
c:ding SO important a question al
fecting the welfare of Lakeland for
the next thirty years. The cOmmuni-
cation by &c. X. S." in Fridays Tele-
gram suggests a reason for caution.
That the people CT Lakeland want
eas is foregOne conclusion, but we
mist have it at reasonable rctes. We
appreciate the kindness of the CITY
Council in submitting this question
to a popular vote. and also that of
the editor of the Telegram in fur
nishing space for its cOnsiderat ion,
and while the promoters of this en-
terprise may be anxious for de-
c!siOn. its Importance is a sufficient
reason for the exercise OF extreme
caution.
