Scouts Of Science Seek Strange
Places of the Earth.
American institutions Spend Vast
Sums In Exploration and Send
Their Men to the Darkest
Spots OF the Globe.

New York up on the fifth or Office
floor Of the American Museum Of
Natural History, just opposite the eles
vators, is a bulletin board, on which
are painted fifty or sixty names of
persons actively connected with the
institution, all of them well known
and many of. them famous through
out the scientific world. Opposite
each name is a little movable block
OF wood which shows whether the
owned is in or out
Inquiry discloses that some of the
outs are not far away, but that
many of them have been absent
long time; that they are in the lonely
corners of the earth and that they
are not likely to be in for another
year or two. These scouts Of science
come and go at long intervals, but
there are SO many of them connected
with the museum that every month
or so some one marks his departure
or arrival on the board.
AS matter Of fact such institu-
tions as the American Museum of Nat
ural History, the Field Museum in
Chicago, the National Museum at
Washington, and various European
institutions are doing the largest
share OF the geographic exploration
Of the earth just at present. The
plan that each follows is usually the
same.
First they send out one man alone,
or two together. to penetrate some
remote region about which nothing is
known. This is really a scientific
scouting party The instructions are
to move as quickly as possible. but
to make a thorough survey Of the
scientific possibilities of the country.
When the scouts come back and rel
port then large expedition is fitted
out, arrangements being made for T.
to stay in the field several years The
scouts do not accompany this ex-
petition. They are off ON another
reconnaissance in some other distant
part of the world.

VINE CUTTINGS FOR SPRING
Should Be. Kept Moist Until Rooted,
and Then Given Frequent cuIti-
vation-Hoe Often.

Cusrant and grape cuttings, planted
in beds in early spring, are mulched
In late summer, preferably with saw
dust or tan bark, and kept moist until
the cuttings are rooted. Later ON the
propagating bed is given frequent
and shallow cultivation. Hoeing Is fre-
quently done between the rows OF
plants, which are IS inches apart.
This keeps fresh soil around them,
keeps down the weeds and water is
given when the soil is very dry.
"A propagating bed for strawberry
plants also needs some attention. The
weeds must be kept out. It is best
to cut on the late runners, as tho early
ones make the strongest plants. If
several varieties are In the bed set
up boards between each to prevent
them running together, and be sure to
label each division with the name of
the variety.

Banana apple is wen worth test

The Banana apple is well worth test
ing.
Pruning shears can be used every
month in the year.
The quickest growing tree for shell
ter belt is the willow.
Pear trees planted on thin ground
are not so apt to become blighted
Prune the currants and gooseberries
as soon. as the leaves fall, or early
next spring.
Strawy, stalky manure makes an ideal
mulching fertilizer for both young and
old apple trees.
For farm Of 100 acres about 20
acres should be given up to the build
ings and orchard.
In ATTITUDES where crimson clover
will grow, try sowing 1t for cover

While sandy soils are probably good
for strawberries. any soil not too rich
will bring. good results.
The surest and quickest way Of
Graduating white grubs In green

Heel fruit trees in ON well drained
ground. putting two feet of dirt on the
roots and covering the tops with about
six inches.
Remember that the wood ashes that
come from the cook stove, fireplace or
furnace are the best kind of fertilizer
for the orchard, lawn or garden.
The best fruit trees for small town
lots or gardens are peaches and cher
ries. Apple trees take up too much
room and are much longer in coming
into bearing.

back to or IL inches, making the cut
lust in the direction in which the
limb should grow.
All trees should be kept low headed.
Be careful not to cut OF the lower
limbs when it is not necessary, as they
are usually the very ones to be left.
lowest limbs should be from 10 to "a
inches from the ground. # the tree
aas been pruned so that the top is
much higher than this, it is usually
best to cut the entire top of about
three feet from the ground and de-
pend upon forming the top from limbs
which come out below this point.
Peach trees can stand more severe
pruning than either cherry or apple.
Peach trees should generally be cut
Dff about Is inches from the ground,
and IL there are any branches below
chat point they should be cut back to
the first or second bud. Cherries or
plums need practically no pruning ex-
eept to cut the branches on q foot or
so from the trunk.

museum bird groups. he returned from
Colombia recently.
Just before Prof Andrews started
on his scouting expedition after the
Corean tiger, the writer asked him
what he feared most in venturing into
totally unknown, unexplored region.
Was it fever, or accident or hostile
natives, or all those things combined?
"The only thing / ever worry
about" replied Prof Andrews, "is
whether 1 will get enough to eat or
not On an expedition where you are
travelling alone with Just the smallest
number of servants and going into a
region that you know nothing about,
you can take only limited amount of
food. For the rest you have to rely on
the country.
/ ''If you can't kin enough game or
catch enough fish, or find food in some
way, you're going to starve. II you
have plenty to eat, you needn't worry
about anything else. Broken legs,
sickness, hostile natives and so on
will come your way il it's down in the
books that they're going to. But, no
matter what else happens, you abso-
iutely must have plenty Of grub. If
you don't, then you've got something
big to worry about"
But whether scout of science helps
the staggering dogs to draw the
sledge over snowy wastes or whether
he cuts his way through the jungles
of Java, the Moluccas or the Carolines,
he is always meeting some other
white man. Stefansson and Ander-
son encountered lone men Of the
Royal Mounted Police north of the
most northerly forts of the Hudson's
Bay company.
SO it is that on every world end
steamer they are likely to find some
one they know OF who knows some
one they have met. Therefore, lone
iy as their lives are. they no sooner
set foot across the threshold of civil
ization again than they begin to pick
w the threads Of gossip and adj
venture Of others just where they
dropped them two or three or five
years back.
