THE EARTH'S JOURNEY.
1t Is Now On Outward Stretch of
400, 900, OOO-Year Trip.

1t Is Now On Outward Stretch OF
100000, GOODYEAR Trip.
Our worlds journey in space is
long one if we are to accept the con-
illusions of DR.. Turner of the univers-
ity observatory of Oxford and Prof.
H. C. Plummer, royal astronomer of
ireland. Recent astronomical work
suggests that the sun and its planets
form single unit in vast system,
the stars in which, though separated
by enormous distances, have COM
mon center of gravity and in re-
Spouse to gravitation all move in uni
son like a stupendods machine. The
paths of these stars, instead of being
nearly circular, like those of the
planets around the sun, are much
like the oscillations of a pendulum.
The calculations show that on this
elongated course our sun must travel
400, 100000 years before completing
a revolution, and that it passed near
the center less than million-per-
haps not more than 900, O00-years
ago, and is now on the outward
stretch.

He said: You kids go slow on

Observation-Disclosures for the

presented to President Wilson today
by committee of national leaders in
the movement. Mr.. Wilson was urg-
ed to recommend to the special ses-

amendment, but he told his visitors
he had not made up his mind on the
suffrage question.
The president was courteous and
sympathetic throughout" said Mrs.
Ida Hustled Harper of New York, one
of the leaders of the National Wo-
mans Suffrage Association. He said
there were many pressing questions
to come up at the extra session and
that if he did not recommend action
on the matter he did not want it to
be taken as an indication of his gen

Calls Own Words On Him.
Mrs. Harper smilingly Informed
the president that there never were
such arguments made for woman suf-
frage as he himself had given in his
last book. She quoted the following
passage:
Il don't want SNUG of experts to

HAS LIVED 100 YEARS.
Mrs. Eliza Littlefeld Brown, Rutland's
Oldest Resident.

Rutland, Sept. l2.-Mrs. Eliza Little
field Brown, widow of Oscar Brown, was
100 years old to-day, being the oldest
resident of this city and probably of the
county. She has lived 81 years of her
life in Rutland and she now resides with
her step-daughter, Miss Helen Il. Brown.
While Mrs. Brown has spent most
OF her time in bed during the last year,
she is able to sit up and be partly
dressed each day. She has recently been
i'll but has nearly recovered from the
attack. She greatly enjoys conversation
and her intelligence is as good as it ever
was, although her memory has taken
advantage of its long usefulness and re-
fuses to respond as promptly as in
days past. Miss Brown reads to the cen
tenarian, who takes more pleasure in
this than in almost any other enter
tainment. While her eyesight might
permit of her reading, her strength is
scarcely equal to holding book or
magazine.
One of ii children, Eliza Littlefeld
was the daughter of Levi and Jemina
Bragg Littlefield, who came of Massa-
chusetts stock Of Revolutionary activity.
Her grandfather, Alexander Bragg.
fought in one of the first battles of the
revolution and her uncle, Simon Little
field, enlisted when boy of is and
served the entire eight years, of that
struggle. He was later physician in
Arlington.
All of Mrs. Browns brothers and sis
tiers are dead long ago, but her parents
and their children, with one or two ex-
ceptions, lived to- extreme years. Five
Of them lived to be over so years and
four TO over 80. None, however, before
Mrs. Brown, reached the century mark.
Ninety-seven years ago Mrs. Browns
parents came to Rutland and stopped at
a tavern located on what is now the
farm of DR.. J. A. Mead, south of the
city. Their first home was on farm
on Cold river, and they later moved to
a house on South Main street opposite
the fair grounds. There Eliza Littlefeld
became Mrs. Oscar Brown and she then
went TO the house in which she now
lives, to make her home.
Mrs. Brown is the oldest living mem
Der of the Congregational church. Three
of her sisters were prominent in the
choir of that church for number of
years, at the time the church was in its
first building of the East parish, on
North Main street. Mrs. Brown was
church organist several years in the six
ties.

Increased Output of Natural Gas in
Tayap

The quantity of natural gas produced
from wells in Texas in 1912 was 1870
$4,000 cubic feet, valued at 81, 405,077,
according to B. Hill, of the United
States geological survey. This is an in
crease over the production of 1911 of
900, 100000 cubic feet in volume and
of $390,l32 in value. The greater por-
ton of this gas was supplied for domes-
tic purposes, the value of which aggre-
gated S906,4l2, or nearly double the
value of the gas consumed in manufac-
turing and generating power, which was
S49s,665 in 1912. Some gas is used in
Texas for brick manufacture. For the
generation Of power it is utilized in OPP
Grating gas engines and boilers at water
works, ice plants, cotton gins, and large
ly in field work.
The total number of gas wells in
Texas at the close of 1912 was 81, of
which "a were drilled in 1912 The
number of dry holes drilled was %, and
the number of gas wells abandoned 9.

FIGHTING SAN JOSE SCALE.
How the Pest May Be Recognizable
Treatment of Infected Trees.

The San Jose scale is an exceedingly
minute and inconspicuous insect no more
than a quarter as big as the head of a
pin, writes w. c. O'kane in the Country
Gentleman. Hold an infested twig at
arms length and you will note merely
that the bark has a roughish, slightly
ashy appearance. Bring it closer to the
una ided eye and you will make ont tiny
er, with lighter spots between where
some of the specks have fallen off.
On young wood strip off a thin silver
of the outer bark and minute red dots
will show beneath--the points where the
slender beaks of the pests have been
sucking the plant juices, poisoning and
discoloring the tissues, Examine the
leaves on badly infested tree and you
will find the same tiny specks along
the main veins, each spot surrounded by
small red ring. Look over the fruit
and You will very likely discover many
of the specks clustered in tine shelter
of the blossoms and stem ends, with the
same surrounding discolorstions. AT
this point hand lens will assist your
diagnosis. With it you will be able to
make ont clearly the shape of the in
dividual scale-almost round, rather fat
and showing a clearly marked nipple in
the center, an elevated point surrounded
by shallow depression. This nipple
is the most important distinguishing
mark.
For the treatment of trees or shrubs
on which the scale has gained a foothold
the remedy in most general use is a
chemical combination OF calcium oxide
and sulphur, known as the lime sulphur
wash. Formerly salt was added to it,
but this ingredient has been discarded.
If one has a moderate number of trees
to spray the most satisfactory plan is
to buy concentrated lime sulphur, which
is clear, reddish liquid without sedi-
ment. To precipitate it for use you sim
ply dilute it with water. Usually 1t
is put up in such strength that the prop
er dilution is one part of the concentrate
TO eight or ten parts of water.
If only a few shrubs in the dooryard
are scale invested, whale oil soap is
often used. dissolving two pounds in
gallon of hot water. This material is
rather more pleasing to handle.
Spraying for San Jose scale must be
done when the plants are dormant, eth
or in the fall or Just before the buds be-
gin to swell in the spring. The sub
stance used viii injure or Kill plants in
leaf, OF if too much diluted will not
penetrate the waxy covering that pro-
tects the scale.
