State EntomoIogist Says Best Time ls
 About June |.
 The spraying of the elm trees, at this season of the year is not recommended by the State Agricultural Experiment Station. The state entomologist, W. K. Britton, in letter to MT. Joseph 8. Adam, of this place. who wrote for in- formation concerning spraying, says:
 "The only advantage in spraying elm trees at this time of the year Is to kill the pupae around the base of the tree. This Is the bright yellow stage into which the oaterpillars pass after des cending to the ground. This state lasts only ten days, and by spraying then on the ground and on the trunks of the tree with kerosene emulsion, or common laundry soap dissolved in water at the rate of one pound in eight gallons, you greatly reduce the numbers for next year. Personally. believe that spray ing with lead arsenate on the foliage about June 1st is the very best treatment, but, of course, it is too late this year to do it, and the destruction of the pupae will help some in reducing the number for next season. l do not favor the tangle-foot bands. Some caterpillars are caught and killed, and then others are turned back and pupate higher up in the trees. If there are no sticky bands nearly all will come to the ground, where it is easy to destroy them"

Old News.

The Bridgeport Standards Forty Years Ago" column contains these items from the issue of Aug. 1, 1873. The first relates to the ill-fated expedition of the balloon Graphic" which collapsed after tempestuous voyage, in East Canaan. The second refers to we'll remembered conductor on the old Housa- tonic road:
 The Balloon Graphic" is for sale by Mrs. Wales on Bank street. It contains full account of the balloon expedition with illustrations from the plans of the aeronants.
 Conductor Thomas, so long and fav- orably known to the passengers on the TOO train from this city to New York, has been relieved at his own request from his position, on account of impaired health, and transferred to a less arduous post. The Bridgeport people who use that train, as great many do, will re- gret the change, as Conductor Thomas was a most accommodating man and a general favorite.

 Dr. Ross returned Monday afternoon from his months sojourn at the Ohatie- mac Club, at Lake Ohatiemac, in the Adirondacks. He reports fine fishing and cool weather in the mountains. When asked about the cat that "came back" to Farnum's drug store, from which he had taken it to the Club, 1S0 miles away. he said it seemed remarka- ble that the cat could have found it's way back. He said the cat was petted by all the Club members and their wives, who were greatly worried over its departure. the second day after it's arrival. It seemed contented enough, that first day. and caught two pet chip hunks belonging to Mrs Ellsworth Ross, the Doctors sister-in-law. After it had disappeared some of the Club members thoroughly searched the boats, outbuildings and bungalows in the neighborhood of the lake but could find uO L16CC Ol ID.

 Since his return Dr. Ross has answer ed t7,963 questions about the cat, and in some instances has been sorely grieved by the skepsioism of questioners who seem to almost doubt some of the details ot the cats adventure.

The jokes, songs and sketches are new, bright, clean and thoroughly enjoyable. The opening part was brilliant stage picture in &C., tion, richly staged and costumed, and the joshery and jokes by O'Brien, the mirth-compelling Eddie Mazier, Peter Detzel, George Faust and Casper Nowak kept the audience screaming with laugh ter. The singing was exceptionally fine and the funny situations in the various skits and sketches were side-spliting.
 There were ingenious and Imaginable travesties on Suffragettism, the Parcels Post, etc., which made great hit, and the accordion playing by Peppine. and yodling by Ward Baron were much en- joyed and generously applauded.
 The O'Brien company have achieved a fine reputation at Manager Howitt's popular house, and are assured of a large audience at every return engagement.

A Hint forsthe Teachers.

A Waterbury boy has been fatally poisoned by eating dogberries while out in the woods. The incident says the Ansonia Sentinel, suggests that our pub lie schools might do practical work by educating the children not only concern ing the wild flowers which abound but concerning the poisonous plants. vines, berries and leaves which are very com mon throughout the woods of this sec. tion and which annually cause an untold amount of misery and suffering, very much of which follows as result of ig- norance and might be avoided.

pr. Dudley's Gar Has Mishap, but with
 No Serious Result.
 If Dr. E. B. Dudley, father-in-law of K. L. Roberts, were not a safe and sane auto driver, there would certainly have been casualty to record, last Friday. Dr. Dudley, with his daughter, Mrs. Roberts and the two Roberts children on board. was driving at moderate rate of speed toward East Canaan, when at a point near Wallace Canfield's house, the rear axle on the right side suddenly broke short off, letting the body Of the auto down with 8 jolt. The wheel ran off and travelled several rods, across the lawn beside the road. Nobody was burt, though all the occupants were very much surprised by the jolt. If the auto had been travelling at rapid speed there would have been more serious oonse- quences to record.

New Club Formed.

Twin Lakes is fast growing in popu- larity and as arule the people who spend their summer there are awake to shs splendid possibilities of that section and it would not take prophet to foretell fine future for that beautiful spot, says the Lakeville Journal. Another step im its development Is the formation oe a country club. the organization of wiioA is now we'll along. A club house will bs erected by the members of the Twia Lakes Association whose members with others who will doubtless join later will form the club. The building vial preb- ably be on the south shore of the lAke on knoll. The grounds will haveawat frontage and will be ample to afford ten his courts and other outdoor sports. The greater part of the funds have already bcen raised for the building aud acoesso ries. The purpose of the club is not only to foster the soclal life but will probably be used on Sundays for religious pur~ poses. 1t is thought that with this addi- tion to the Twin Lakes colony many new members will be gained for the Twim Lakes Association. The committee hav- ing the matter in charge are MT. W. A. Miles of Twin Lakes, MT. O. w. Rieoks of Brooklyn and MT. W. K. Mnlford uf Philadelphia.

Autos to Preserve Scenery.

The use of automobile as conservators of the scenery of the countryside is a suggestion put forward by the national highways protective society, which is distributing requests to machine owners in the state to the effect that they rid the highways, so far as they can, of dis figuring advertisements pasted on trees and fences.
 The statutes forbid the use of rocks, trees or structures within the limits of a highway for advertising purposes and an automobiles can tear down these signs without fear of prosecution.
 The movement is not entirely new as Representative w. s. Pardee, of New Haven, was the author of the statute and for many years has represented an organization which has aimed to keep advertisements off highways.
