NEW TYPE OF SPRAY NOZZLE
Effectiveness OF Spraying Depends
Largely Upon Character Of Ia
perino Tube Employed

The effectiveness of spraying de
ponds in large measure upon the
character Of the nozzle used. and IL is
should be adapted 10 the specific pur-
pose for which 1t is to be used. G. f.
Stone of the Massachusetts station
has devised nozzle which he has
used with very satisfactory results in
spraying large trees from a high-pres-
sure machine.
This nozzle is shown in Fig. l, at
A. 1t consists of a nozzle screwed
tightly on to the tip of standard at
tachment provided with shut-off, such
as is often employed in spraying work.
(See b. The attachment, however, is
incidental, as it may be fitted to any
suitable metal connection threaded to
fit, and provided with a hose connec-
ton at the lower end. The essential
part of the nozzle, as shown at A, con-
sists of a small brass tip, t, about ! u
inches long, provided with an aperture
at the end one-eighth of an inch in
diameter, although sometimes an aper-
ture of $50 or 3-16 of an inch in diam
eter has been employed. About an
inch or more above the center of the
aperture there is placed solid brass
rod, c, one-fourth of an inch in dame
ter. This is attached to another rod,
d, by means of a thin sheet of brass;
the rod, d, works in a socket and al
lows the pointed brass rod, c, to be
thrown in or out of center at will. The
object of this center brass rod, c, is to

Lament RELIGIOUS Apathy.

In Japan all kinds of Christians are
amenting the religious stagnation that
seems to have settled on the country,
says a writer in America. a Roman
Catholic paper. OF the $4,000 Catho-
les, 10000 are descendants of the con-
verts Of the seventeenth century, and
he Greek Catholics have only 10000
followers. after 40 years Of evange-
ization there are only somewhere be-
.ween 10000 and 100000 Protestants
If all sects," says the writer, who adds
hat the Japanese are t.t irreligious,
out like other peoples they are suf-
,ering from the religious apathy and
lnconcern of the times. Just as in
Europe and America, the modern Jap
anese adore the golden calf and. as
elsewhere. are struggling for money
and place, the natural result of TIE
adoption OF a materialistic civiliza-
ion"

GRAVE CAUSE FOR DISPUTE
Romanticsts and Others Have Oppor-
tunty to Squabble over This
Happening.

The Winans will has upset the the
DRY of the cynics that romance is dead
in the world. Here is an innkeeper's
daughter who receives fortune of
100000 just for being kind to an old
man. In all her dreams of the future
she never thought of being able to
present to the Prince Charming that
would eventually come along such a
princely dover. She went about her
work delivering the milk and cream
from her fathers dairy, little think
ing that the old gentleman, who year
after year was her fathers guest,
was all along planning to make her a
rich heiress as a reward for her lit
tie kindnesses. The picture is idyllic.
Unfortunately, some of the rightful
heirs of the deceased multimillionaire
fail to see the poetry of it and have
already given notice of a contest
There is a son who has been cut off
with a paltry 100000 and there are
two grandchildren who have been en-
tirely forgotten. In the case of the
son the will is particularly significant,
since the relative smallness of the
amount can be traced to the fathers
disapproval of a marriage that was
wholly romantic. The cynics may still
claim that their contention is support
ed by the courts.

FOUGHT HIS WAY TO FREEDOM
Courage and Pluck OF
Caractacus.

One of the most unique captives
ever brought home to Rome by Julius
Caesar was Caractacus of the early
Britons. This great chief lost every
thing In fightihA to drive out the
Romans and was taken prisoner with
his wife and children. When brought
before the Roman emperor the proud
ruler of the primitive people never
showed the least fear. His arms were
chained. and the emperor roared to
try to brighten Caractrcus. but the
brave chief never so much as quaked
Instead he looked the monarch In the
eye and said:
You hght to gain the whole worlo
and to make everybody your slaves !
fought to keep my own land and for
freedom"
The great courage the chief showed
finally touched the heart of the EN-.
peror. and the ruler of the Romans
resolved to see If Caractacus would be
as brave when facing warriors On
one OF the great holidays in Rome
Caractacus was taken to the great
open-air amphitheater where the popu-
lace gathered. He was told that If he
could defeat the bold knight that
would be sent against him he could GO
back to his home. Caractacus fought
as he never had before; for some
thing sweeter than his life was at
stake-that of his wife and children
Justice seemed to have tempered the
metal of his weapons, and when he
struck the strong armor of his antag
onist gave way before his fearful
blows. The result was that Caractacus
and his family returned to Britain and
TO happiness.

take the spray as 1t comes out of the
one-eighth-inch nozzle under high
pressure and break it up into fine
mist, and with the pressure which We
used it is capable of throwing the
mist 20 or 25 feet. This is sufficient
to reach, from ladder, most of the
foliage on a large elm tree. In case
it is necessary to reach higher, the
adjustment is thrown out of the CEN
ter and the spray goes directly
through the one-eighth-inch aperture.
BY this means a greater distance and
carrying power are secured, although
not so fine a spray.
In the drawing the nozzle is shown
surrounded by shield, C, which was
for the purpose of protecting the
point, c. The nozzle as originally con-
structed was not provided with a
shield, being used for some days with
out it, but with the hard usage which
it received lit was] found that the
adjustment was likely to be injured.
The nozzle was used in connection
with a machine giving $50 pounds
pressure. and the spraying mixture
was carried through a one-inch hose.
This nozzle was used in
spraying over 1000 trees having an
average diameter of about 22 inches.
Careful estimates made showed that
the average amount of arsenate of
lead per tree was IT pounds, or about
II gallons of arsenate of lead solu-
ton. The cost of spraying each tree,
including the labor, gasoline and lead,
was So cents.
The spraying was just as thorough
and the cost was about one-third Of
that by the ordinary method, using
Vermorel and other fine-mist nozzles.

They Saved His Life.

Does 1t pay to stop your motor car
after an accident and go back to see
what has happened? Two young mo
torists on the south side believe 1t
does
With green chauffeur these two
boys were trying out a new model
touring car. They were sitting in the
back seat when the greenhorn at the
steering wheel gave 1t twist and
came within an ace of hitting an old
man at a crossing. The victim was
80 shocked that he fell to the pave
ment, and a crowd gathered in an In
slant.
Looking back, the motorists decided
lhat things looked bad. but that they
had better go back and see whether
the old party was killed. Finding him
all right, but winded, they took him
for nice ride around the parks. So
pleasant did they make it for him that
when they took him home to his wife
he introduced them as THE two young
men who saved my life"

oak and other woods. They exist In
all kinds of trees, but in many, as, for
example, the chestnut, they are so fine
as hardly to be seen with the naked
eye.
1t is correct to speak of the rings Of
growth as annual rings" for as long
as the tree is growing healthily a ring
is formed each year. 1t is true that
two false rings may appear in one
year, but they are caused whenever
the growth of the tree is interrupted.
This happens when the foliage is de-
stroyed by caterpillars and grows
again in the same season, or when a
severe drought in early summer stops
growth for a time, after late frosts,
and in similar cases.
An annual ring once formed does
not change in size or place during the
healthy life Of the tree, except that it
is covered in time by other younger
layers.

SHREWD IDEA OF DIPLOMAT
Where Russian Officer Of Embassy
Proved More Than a Match
for Abdul Hamid.

D.plomatists abroad tell how dis.
tinguished member of the Russian
corps diplomatique cleverly outwitte1

key. The Russian displayed a curious
ingenuity In introducing the business
of his country in the guise of personal
pleasure
1t appears that the Sultan had abso-
lutely refused to grant an audience to
any member of the diplomatic body at
Constantinople and that during the
period in question Abdul Hamid spent
the greater part of his time in cock
fighting, an amusement whereof he
was passionately fond.
The Russian heard that his imperial
majesty stood in need of fresh birds
to supply the place of those killed in
fight, whereupon the willy Muscovite
procured a fine-looking white fowl Of
the barnyard species, caused il to be
trimmed and spurred to resemble a
gamecock, and sent it in a richly deco
rated cage to the Sultan.
The ruse was successful, but the
Sultan, at first delighted with the gift,
soon sent for the diplomatist to ex-
plain, If he could, why his bird had
shown no inclination to fight. The
Russian went, examined the bird in
the presence of Abdul Hamid, and
with great establishment and regret
acknowledged that it was quite unable
to cope with the royal gamecocIs,
which were undoubtedly of a superior
breed
| A conference followed on the subject
Of gamecocks in general; and when
this was finished the Muscovite sue
ceeded in drawing the Sultan in a
mood for conversation of a different
| character, and in time adroitly intro
duced the political matter he had so
| long awaited an opportunity to discuss.
After a long interview he returned to
his embassy triumphant over his col
leagues.-Harper's Weekly.

SALT LAKE CITY, April 6.-An
attack Of smallpox will be no bar to
social activities in Utah hereafter.
Under the policy announced by the
state board Of health today hospitals
known as pest houses will be closed.
The resolutions adopted by the as
sociation of health officers of the
state in session here, advocating the
discontinuance of quarantine against
smallpox, called for statement from
DR.. Beatty, secretary of the state
board of health, that the board al
ready had issued such orders. Flags
are to be put up ON houses where the
patients are under treatment but in =.
mates may move about freely as il
the disease were whooping cough.
This extreme reaction from Shot
gun" quarantine OF former years is in
line with conclusions reached by the
national medical organizations. Nu-
merous bodies Of physicians have rec
commended that the smallpox quaran-
tine be released but Utah is the first
state to make the experiment. 1t is
maintained that the quarantine sys-
tenn failed to prevent propagation
of the disease and by giving the pub
lie a false sense of security discour-
ages resort TO more effective pre-
