Model Sermon.

A correspondent, churchman,
somewhat moved by parag raph re-
garding sleeping in church, wrote that
he has no particular objection to the
congregation going to sleep, when it
has an excuse for doing SO. But, >"
he writes, Il want to ask you what
you think Of this: l attend a church
where the assistant sleeps during the
sermon, and a few Sundays ago he
had the nerve to tell the rector 1t
was the finest sermon he had ever
heard him (the rector preach, when
he had been sleeping through it,"
This is certainly very shocking. We
submit, however, that If the assistant
slept calmly through the sermon he
could do no less than compliment it.

Durability of Csstlror

Though Castron is not now chosen

crank shaft of an engine built in 1850
had, in 1910, made 100000 revoIu-
tons and the stress on the neck at
the beginning of each stroke had
ranged from 1850 to $3.50 pounds a
square inch. In another instance q
cast-iron gudgeOn. put TO use before

HOW NEW BEDFORD CARES
FOR TWO THOUSAND ELMs.
A Splendid Spraying Apparatus That
Combats Elm Beetles Successfully.

New Bedford. in common with many
cities Of Massachusetts. has always
taken great pride in Its shaded resi-
dental streets. 1t has now more than
1900 elm trees on it's sidewalks, which
come under the care Of the city. The
majority of these trees are from rs to
100 years old
In the period when these trees were
set out it was much easier to main
tain trees than at present. for there
were comparatively few sewers built
to drain off the ground water. and the
streets were not paved with a water
proof surface. The greatest difficulty
now in making trees grow In city
streets is in furnishing them with O
sufficient supply of water
Until recent years there were no in
sect pests in that section Of the coun-
try that troubled the elm trees to any
great extent. and the spraying of shade
trees was unknown because unneces-
which had been imported to this coun
try at Baltimore about 1887. had OBJ
tanned strong footing in Massachu
sets, having spread out from the Con
necticut valley. where it first appeared
about 1895. In 1901 this insect had be.
come so plentiful in New Bedford that
the city found it necessary to spray
the elm tree foliage in the spring. and
the work has been continued every
year since.
For several years they used hand
force pumps. which required a great
deal of climbing to reach the uppe,
part of the trees. In 1909 high pow
er sprayer. consisting Of large mix
ing tank. a powerful force pump and
a gasoline engine. was purchased
Above the pump and engine is an up
per deck or platform fourteen feet
above the ground. upon which hose
and fittings may be carried and upon
which man can stand when operat-
ing the spraying nozzle
Arsenate Of lead. mixing ten pounds
to 100 gallons of water. Is used. The
mixture is constantly agitated when
the pumps are in action. With this
machine there Is no trouble In spray
ing the upper parts of the trees with
poison. The water in the mixture soon
evaporates. leaving the arsenical poison
as white coating on the leaves. This
does not readily wash off. so that one
spraying is generally sufficient. As
the caterpillars feed on the under side
of the leaf the spray should be so d.
rected as to coat the under side Of the
leaf as much as possible.
Other trees than the elm do not re-
quire spraying in New Bedford. for
among the various pests 1t Is only the
elm beetle that cannot be more effec-
lively cared for by other methods.
