THE CAUSE AND PREVENTION OF
PEAR BLIGHT.

Pear blight may be defined as a
contagious bacterial disease OF the
near and allied fruit trees. 1t attacks
and rapidly kills the blossoms, young
fruits and new twig growth, and runs
down in the living bark to the larger
limbs, and thence to the trunk. While
the bacteria themselves rarely Kills
the leaves, at most only occasionally
attacking the stems and midribs OF
the youngest ones, all of the foliage
on the blighted branches must, OF
course, eventually die. The leaves
usually succumb in from one to two
weeks after the branch on which they
grow is killed, but remain attached,
and are the most striking and pro-
minent feature of the disease. The
most important parts of the tree kill
ed by the blight are the inner bark
and the cambium layer OF the limbs
and trunk. OF course, when the bark
of limb is killed, the whole limb
is simply girdled by the disease, II
NAV send out leaves again the next
season and then die. All parts OF the
tree below the point reached by the
blight are healthy, no more injury
resulting to the unaffected parts OF
the tree than if the blighted parts
had been killed by fire girdling.
Blight varies greatly in severity
and in the manner in which it attacks
the tree. Sometimes it attacks only
the blossoms clusters or perhaps on
ly the young tips of the growing
twigs: and again it extends down on
Nv a few inches from the point OF at
tack. The sudden collapse OF the fol-
iage on blighted branches has led
many to believe that the disease pro-
crosses more rapidly than 1t really
does. It rarely extends further than
two or three inches from the point
of attack in one day, but OCCASION
ally reaches as much as one foot.
II is an easy matter to determine
when the disease has expended itself
on any limb or tree. When 1t is still
progressing, the discolored, blighted
portion blends off gradually into the
normal bark, but when it has stop
ned there is a sharp line of demarcat-
ion between the diseased and healthy
portions.

Water Power.

w tCT ROVER.
The recent coal strike in Great
Britain put stop to all industry in
the United Kingdom. Coal is the
universal motor power, and when
the coal supply fails everything
comes to a standstill. That was the
threatened condition in Great
Britain, and it was rapidly approach
ing when government interposition
made compromise possible and the
miners returned to work.
The English coal strike has put
economists to thinking more than
ever of the great increase in the
consumption of coal and the inevita-
BILE exhaustion of the available sup
ply in the course of time.
In 1900 the coal mined in the
United States was approximately
27O,000, 600 tons. In 1910 this was
over 500,000,000 tons, an increase
of IS per cent. being accompanied
by an increase in population of
approximately 20 per cent. This
doubling in the output of coal over
a decade has been the rate of growth
for some time. The cost of mining
coal is increasing every year and
will probably continue to do so, even
with the improvements in methods.
There are great untouched depos-
its of coal in Alaska, China and
other remote parts Of the earth, but
the transportation Of coal from such
sources would be at an immense
cost.
Some other source of heat and
power must be found, and for that
reason economists and capitalists
are beginning to give attention to
electricity generated by water power.
The May number of Scribner's
Magazine has several we'll written
and very instructive articles concern
ing water power, its development
and various uses. One of these is
Water Power in Industrial Life"
by David Rushmore, that will be
found full Of interest by those who
attention.
It has been estimated by the Geo
logical Survey that the available
water power of the United States at
minimum fow is approximately
100000 orse-power, and that
this can be increased five or six times
by suitable storage facilities. A
recent report by the Commissioner
of Corporations states that 100000,
horsepower has been developed in
the United States for electrical and
other industrial purposes.
Those localities and sections
where abundant water power is
available will be the chief manufac-
turing centers Of the future. This
fact lends interest and importance
to the proposed development of the
power afforded by the, 0eoee and
Caney Fork Rivers. for which cor.
poratien with capital stock Of $R9,-
000, eco was lately chartered in Ten
nessee. Much money and labor is
required for the development and
utilization Of water power, but as
the writer in Scribner's says: tThe
creation of permanently useful value
by bringing into existence something
which WITH labor usefuily for all
time is thing we'll worth while, and

Democratic Suicide.


candidate than the Speaker of the
House of Representatives. For
Mr.. Clark personally the World has
only the friendiest feelings, but his
nomination for President would be
equivalent to certificate of election
for his Republican opponent.
Mr.. Clark's friends proudly declare
that he could poll the full Demo-
cratic vote. Perhaps he could; but
much more than that is required of
a Democratic candidate for Presi-
dent this year. He must not only
poll the full Democratic vote but he
must poll hundreds of thousands of
independent voters.
Mr.. Bryan polled the full Demo-
cratic vote in 1908, but Mr.. Bryan
was overwhelmingly beaten. Mr..
Taft's popular plurality was 1862
904 and Mr.. Taft's majority in the
Electoral College was 1859
There will be 531 votes in the
next Electoral College with 266
necessary to choice. Mr.. Bryan
had 1872 electoral votes in 1908.
Maryiand's vote was divided.
Assuming that Maryland will go
Democratic next fall the States that
gave 1872 electoral votes to Mr..
Bryan in 1908 will have 174 cleo
toraI votes in 1912 under the new
apportionment. The successful
Democratic candidate for President
next fall must obtain so votes from
States which Mr. Bryan failed to
carry. Giving AriZona's votes to
the Democrats and conceding that
Missouri's Is votes will swing back
to the Democratic column, there is
an adverse majority of II electoral
votes to overcome. Where are they
to be obtained for Champ Clark?
New York, with its IS electoral
votes, must be considered first. Mr..
Tafts vote in this State was 870,070
and Mr.. Bryan's was 667, 468, the
Taft plurality being 202,602. What
chance would Champ Clark have to
overturn huch a majority? What
appeal could he make to the great
body of independent voters who
decide the elections in New York?
New Jersey, with IA electoral
votes, is almost certain to go with
New York. In 1908 Mr. Taft had
265,326 In New Jersey to Mr..
Bryan's 1S2,567, Republican plu-
rality of BATES. Champ Clark
would make as sorry an appeal to
the independent vote of New Jersey
as that of New York.
Like New York and New Jersey,
Connecticut has elected Demo-
cratic Governor since 1908-and by
the grace Of the independent vote.
Mr.. Taft's plurality over Mr.. Bryan
in Connecticut was 44,660, and
Champ Clark's nomination would
give that State to the Republicans
too.
New York, New Jersey and Con-
necticut have sc of the II electoral
votes that must unquestionably be
gained in order to elect Demo-
cratic President. Champ Clark can
never get them. To nominate him
is to give these votes to the Republic
can candidate, whoever he may be.
Where, then, are the Democratic
votes coming from? Ohio? Indi-
ana? They have only 80 electoral
votes between them, and Champ
Clark has no especial strength in
either of these States. He has no
especial strength anywhere, and it
would be difficult for the Demo
cratic party to name a more vnlnera-
BILE candidate.

The statistics Of the fire department
Of New York show that at least Is
per cent of the fires in that city are
caused by the careless use of matches
and of lighted cigars and cigarettes.
Is it not time that this awful risk to
others by careless smokers should be
taken account Of by the law? 1t is
not a trivial matter. The tossing
aside of lighted matches and cigar
butts without seeing where they land
should be as much Of a penal offense
as bomb-throwing or incendiarism. A
careless cigarette, as far AZ known,
caused the great fire in Baltimore, n
of the biggest In the worlds history
and wholly preventable. A careless
match caused the recent IRE in New
York, with its loss Of valuable life and
much loss Of property-also wholly
preventable. The careless user Of a
spark of fire is an enemy of the pub
lie welfare and ought to be treated as
such. We are as yet primitive in out
outlook upon vital facts.
