DELAWARE & NORTHERN NOTES

The earnings of the d. & n. sta
ton at Andes for the month of Au-
gust, 1912, were $4,000, instead of
1,2OO, as recently stated. This is a
gain of 5000 over the same period
last year, and the increase is said to
be due to extensive building opera
tions of the Gerrys at Lake Della
ware. The improvements they are
making will, it is said, cost about
S2,00O,000, and will take about three
years to complete. Employees state
that if the Gerrys construct another
lake there, as is now talked, it will
be eight years before all of the i'm
provements are finished. 1t is re-
ported that the dam will be $50 feet
in height. All of the material used
by the Gerrys thus far for their man
sions is shipped via the d. & n. to

70 OPEN CANAL NEXT FALL
Navy Department viii Send Fleet to
Make First Examination,

The navy department is making IT'S
plans on the assumption that the Pan
anna canal will be open for business
in about a year. In order to give ma
val officers an opportunity to inspect
the locks and the mechanism of the
canal before the water is let in, the
feet will rendezvous at Colon this win
ter and special trains will be run along
the canal
The concrete work is about 81 per
cent complete, while the great Gatun
locks are about 95 per cent finished.
The excavations for August amounted
to 2,443,353 cubic yards, making a to-
tai eXcavated TO date of POS, ,252, ,4O5
cubic yards. Only 3S,SS2, ,598 cubic
yards remain to be excavated, and this
work offers few obstacles.
Secretary Meyer, on consulting with
the canal commission, discovered that
construction work had progressed so
far that unless action was taken i'm
medlately there was probability that
the men Of the fleet would have no
opportunity to examine the connecting
link between the two oceans before 1t
was in operation.

Nursery Inspection in Pennsylvania

During the month OF August the
semi-annual inspection of nurseries
in Pennsylvania was commenced un-
der the directions of State Zoologist
II. A. Surface and Secretary of Ag-
riculture. All of the nursery stock
grown in pennsylvania is being
thoroughly and Systematically in
spected, and wherever San Jose
Scale and other particularly pernici-
Gus insects are found, these and the
nursery stock containing them must
be destroyed before a certificate or
inspection is given, permitting the
nurserymen to sell and ship his
nursery stock. This inspection work
has been one of the great factors in
helping to check the spread of the
San Jose Scale in Pennsylvania. 1t
is the best means of insuring the
buyers of homegrown trees (Which
are the best to plant), that they are
free from serious pests.
As there are over one hundred and
fifty nurseries in Pennsylvania en-
bracing total area of over two
thousand acres, it can be seen that
the task of inspecting twice per year
grown as nursery stock for sale is
very great, and requires the utmost
care and application. For this pur-
pose Professor Surface has divided
the state into districts, and has as
signed to each orchard inspector his
respective district, while Chief Nur-
sery Inspector L. b. Engle is acting
as General Inspector. The inspector
spends from one to several days in a
nursery according to its size, ex-
amining carefully each block of trees
or shrubs that is of variety liable
to be infested with San Jose Scale
and certain other serious pests.
With microscope in hand he goes
from tree to tree, and wherever de-
structive pests are found, he breaks
over the infested trees and sees that
they are removed.
The Gypsy moth and Brown-tail
moth have not yet been found in
Pennsylvania, but State Zoologist
Surface says it is only a question of
time until they will be introduced
into this state. Therefore careful
watch is being kept for them as we'll
as for other insects and plant dis
eases.

LEARNED COURTS.

A probate judge in western Kan
sas wrote to the judge Of the juven-
lie court in Kansas City asking for
information as to how the court
should be conducted. He spelled it
"juvanil" first, then "juvinal," and
finally "juvanile"; three tries, and a
clean miss in all three. Charles
Blakesley, of Kansas City, recalls
that there was once a probate judge
in his town who spelled it "probat
jug" and a constable who used to
spell his own title "concible." The
celebrated Judge Noggle, of Wiscon-
sin, and a good judge he was, too,
once told a prisoner at his bar that
he, the judge, knew the man to be a
fraud as certainly as if he saw the
letters F-R-O-A-D stamped on his
forehead.

SEEKING AN ANTlT0XlN
FOR THE MEASLES.
Washington Scientists Base Hopes on
Experiment With Monkeys.

With every hope for success the sci
entists of the United States hygienic
laboratory are seeking an antitoxin
for measles. The search for a pre-
ventive is based on the success Of q
recent experiment with monkeys, con-
Quoted by DR.. John f. Anderson and
DR.. Joseph Goldberg in which, for the
first time in medical history, small
colony of the animals was lnoculated
with measles. With this as basis
the antitOxin is to be developed, al
though the measles germ is so minute
as to be undiscoverable even under
the most powerful microscope.
The medical profession is watching
the progress of the experiments with
the greatest interest. With the ex-
ception of diphthefa and Group, mea-
sles is the most dangerous scourge to
youth. According to the census bu-
reau figures, taken from the regis
tered area" in the United States. in
which approximately half of the popu-
lation lives, the number of deaths
among children in 1910 from diphtheria
and Group combined was 1882. while
measles exacted toll of 6,59S, or 1913
lives in every 100000 persons.

ALASKA SQUARE
 DEAL LEAGUE

The Alaska Square Deal League" i, tho name of late association formed Outside for the purpose of exploiting Alaska. Although the league is young 1t is said to be already financially em barrassed," and is now endeavoring tc persuade the Alaska Bureau of the New Seattle Chambe of Commerce tc assume the outstanding indebtedness by merger. AS the league has done il unto the least of these it's brethren, even so should the bureau do it unto the league, is the idea.
 According to circulars distributed by the league its objects are:
 q. The securing for Alaska of an elective form of government and the fullest possible measure of home rule;
 b. The prompt enforcement of exist. ing laws;
 c. The enactment of such additional Legislation as will assure the speedy development of the resources of the territory and tho proper care and edu- cation of Alaska natives; and
 d. The aiding in all honorable ways of Alaskans and their delegated repre- sentatives.
 The following arc the officers of the league: William Pigott, president; s. A. Perkins. first yice-presdent; J. F. A. Strong, second yice-president; Lewis Penwell, third vice-president; o. D. Fisher, treasurer; Rufus R. Wilson, secretary.
 The Square Deal League started of with heavier expenditures than its re- sources warranted. It seems also to have been tho feeling of substantial business men of Seattle that the pur- poses of the league were sufficiently served by the Alaska Bureau. In any case it would seem that the objects for which the league was established are being pretty well attended to by Dele gate Wickersham.

TOM THOMPSON HIS OWN SURGEON

Tom Thompson is the record amateur surgeon in Ruby, having recently cut of part of his toe when it became frozen. He received the injury while a considerable distance away from the city. In addition to the toe his nose and other parts of the face were also frostbitten.
 Upon his arrival in the city the toe had become white and hard as marble to some distance beyond tho end of the nail. Believing that nothing was re- quired to save the remainder of the toe but to cut off the affected portion, he did so with pocket knife. No blood came from the wound. of course, but at last accounts nearly all of the toe had become affected.-Ruby Record,
