AN ADDRESS BY DIR. LONGFtELD
SMITH ION SOME MATTERS OF
GREAT IMPORTANCE TO THE
CANE GROWERS OF
SANTA CRUZ.

The remarks which l have to make this
afternoon are chiefly concerned with tile
subject Of disease among our canes. Through
out the island everywhere there are evidence
es of disease in the crop. Planters have u
happy way of dismissing disease by attribut-
ing it al, to the dry weather. This is wrong.
The poor appearance of our canes to-day
is not due to dry weather, but to disease
aided by dry weather. venture 10 say
that had the canes had no disease among
them they would have been at least $780,
better than they are to-day. To attribute
a bad effect to ~ wrong cause is q very uH-
fortunate thing because it very effectively
prevents the application of the right remedy.
The recognition Of a pest is always the first
step towards conquerIng it. It is true that
in a year of good rains canes do not dry out
and wither up as they do in a period Of
drought, nevertheless the diseases are still
there and doing damage, only the canes
happily grow faster than the diseases and
the effect of the diseases is comparatively
little noticed.
In dry weather the diseases grow faster
than the canes and conquer them.
What is disease, and from what diseases
do our canes suffer most in st. Croix?
A living thing, like the sugar-cnne plant,
rs Sh4u " SuAOL lIOA " UIS0ttS6 Wien some
other living thing is feeding upon it aud
sapping its growth.
The living things which cause diseases
belong principally to two great groups, viz
/. Fungi. 2. Insects.
The fungi are organisms which belong to
the Plant Kingdom. They are never green
in colour but are usually white, grey, or
yellowlsh. It is the absence of green colour
which makes them SO destructive. Ordinary
green plants obtain their food from the air,
the soil and water, aud it is the green colour
which enables them to make use of these
simple materials. The chemical process of
building up the substances which compose
the body of u plant-such as sugar, starch,
protein &c.-from the simple materials found
in air, water and soil, is one which requires
the absorption of much energy, and it is the
green colouring matter of plants which
catches the requisite energy from the sun.
The fungi having none of this green colour
ing matter cannot build up their bodies from
simple materials, but require to partake of
ready made sugar, starch, protein &C., and
this they get by feeding OIL the living or
dead bodies of other plants or animals. Those
fungi which live on living matter are called
Parasites; those which live on dead matter
are called "~Saprophytes."
The fungi all life as tiny
specks of living substance, usually too small
to be seen by the unaided eye. These tiny

An Arab Honeymoon.

For seven days after the wedding
the Arab bride and bridegroom are
supposed not to leave their room. The
bride may see none of her own family
and only the women folk of her hus
band, who wait on her. She remains
in all her wedding finery and paint and
does absolutely nothing. The bride
groom generally slips out at night aft
er three days and sees few friends
privately, but he persistently hides
from his wife's family. and should he
by accident meet his father-in-law be-
fore the seven days are over he turns
his back and draws his burnoose, or
haik, over his face This Is their view
of a honey and they grow as
weary of 1t as any European couple do
of their enforced continental tour

DAINTY TINY NESTS.

Those Of tho Humming Bird Arc About
the Size Of Walnut.
The most exquisitely dainty home
built by the bill and feet of birds Is
that of the ruby throated humming
bird When completed it Is scarcely
larger than an English walnut and Is
usually saddled on a small horizontal
limb of a tree or shrub frequently
many feet from the ground.
This dainty domicile is composed al
most entirely of soft plant fbers. frag-
ments Of spiders webs sometimes be-
ing used to hold them in shape. The
sides are thickly studded with bits Of
nchen. and practiced indeed is the eye
Of the man who can distinguish 1t from
a knot on the limb. The eggs are the
size of quinine pills.
Although the humming birds nest is
exceedingly frail, there appears to be
nothing on record to show that any
great numbers of them come to grief
during the summer rains. II is, how.
ever, not called upon for long tenure
of occupancy. Within three weeks
after the two little white eggs are laid
the young have departed on their tiny
pinions.-Craftsman

Cold, Heat and Humidity.

In hot weather less food is needed;
there is more blood In the internal
organs, the skin acts more and the
kidneys act less than In mild weather
In cold weather more food is needed;
the skin acts less and the kidneys more.
There is more desire for active ex-
ercise.
Humidity reduces the actual heat of
the air in summer. but increases its
oppressiveness and makes people le-
thargic and relaxed. The perspiration
does not evaporate and the pores get
crogged. In cold weather dry air leaves
the body free to retain or give up its
natural heat according to its needs,
but moist air brings about a leakage of
bodily warmth that is difficult to pre-
vent. Clothes will not do 1t, and wind
increases It, That is why we feel
damp cold so much more than dry

FIRST SLOT MACHINE.
Il Was Invented by Hero Of Alexa ndris
About 1875 3. C.

II Was Invented by Hero Of Alexandria
About 1926 q. C.
Hero Of Alexandria (about 1875 B. O.,
was an ingenious inventor of mechan-
zeal toys. In his works, "Pneumatics'
and "Automata." he describes some
hundred small machines that he prob
ably never carried beyond the "moder'
stage.
These included a steam engine and a
double forcing pump to be used as a
fire engine.
Hero was also the inventor Of the
automatic delivery. or penny in the slot
machine. He describes "a sacrificial
vessel which flows only when money
Is introduced"
When the coin is dropped through
the slit 1t falls on one end Of a bal
anced horizontal lever. which being
depressed opens valve suspended
from chain at the other end. and the
water begins to flow.
When the lever has been depressed
to certain angle the coin falls off and
the valve, being weighted. returns to
its seat and cuts off the supply. The
mechanism is practically Identical
with the present system. - Baltimore

Audaoious Test of Marlsman's 0kiil
In a Duel.
N. Colombey, in his history Of duel
ing, tells an anecdote Of q certain
noted duelist of his time.
One day this man. M. D., was at
Desenne's shooting gallery in Paris
watching the pistol practice. There
was one man who was shooting very
well and Desenne was threatened with
the loss of all his glass balls and
swinging dolls. Every shot was greet
ed by the spectators with exclama-
lions of admiration.
B. looked on for awhile and finally,
In a calm voice. made the remark. HE
could not do as well on the field"
The object of the sighting remark
turned around. and In loud and
angry tone cried: who are you to
say that? Would you like to test the
truth Of your remark"
Willingly" replied the unrecognized
dentist as he led the way out to a
secluded place. After taking their re-
spective positions. they drew lots. and
1t fell to B. to shoot last. He waited
in silence for his adversary's shot The
man fired-and missed
b. lowered his pistol. what did
tell your" he said, with a smile
Then. putting his pistol In his pocket,
he walked away whistling.

A Peer and His Pate Mt.

After it is once issued the patent for
the creation of new peerage cannot
be altered. Otherwise Lord Glerawly
would be written Lord Glenawley, as
Gerawly was written by a clerk In
mistake for this word. Another in
teresting case of similar nature is
that of Charles Pawlet, afterward
third Duke of Bolton. who died in
1854. In 1717. while his father, the
second duke. was still alive. Pawiet
was made peer as Lord Pawlet 4
