1894, and reached its climax In 1896

TO be serious in 1911; during the ten
prior years the loss of swine ranged
from As to So per 1000 per year, in
1911 1t jumped to SO. then to ITO in
1912, and to 119 last year. about 90

EYESORE ON ORCHARD TREES
Silken Webs Filled With CsterniIl,r,
should Be Cut Out and Burned
With Kerosene
cBy L. VAN BENrHuYsEN1

There is no greater eyesore in coun.
try surroundings than the silken webs
hled with .dark-colored. whlte-haired
caterpillars which abound on the trees
of orchard and lawn.
Those should not be COMPOUNDED
with the tent caterpillar, which
abounds in early summer. They are
the larvae of a moth which flies at
night, and varies in color from pure
white to white thickly studded with
brown spots.
The moths emerge in May or June
from pupae which have passed the
winter under loose soil and rubbish at
the foot of the tree.
The eggs are placed in clusters near
the tips of the branches. On Matching.
the process Of web-building and eating
begins, and soon a large cluster may
be formed
Cut the nests and burn with kero-
sene, or spray with srsenites. using
sufficient force to penetrate the web.

What do | think OF the new

laugh. well, let me tell you a story.
"A young man and a girl in even

fountain trickled and gurgled in a
marble basin before them Palms
dropped their long leaves over them.
The light was dim. Distant music
sounded softly
suddenly the young man, overcome
by the girls beauty, seized her in his
arms and crushed her madly to his
breast.
Why, Mr.. Trevanion, she said.
putting her white hand on his shirt
bosom and pushing him coldly away,

thing isn't proper-here.'

A billion pounds live weight produce
nearly s00,000.0o0 pounds of dressed
/ meat and lard. This amount would ha
suhicleht to furnish every family Of
the United States average four and a
hair persons) about 40 pounds. IF
there had been no such loss. probably
increasing scarcity OF meat would
nave been largely prevented.
The losses OF swine from disease
are usually heaviest In southern states
and lightest in northern states. Esti
mates OF losses have been kept for
90 years. The states showing the
heaviest average yearly loss in these
80 years are, in their order, Arkansas
lls per LOCO; Louisiana, no. Florida,
lo9; the states showing the lightest
iosses are Maine. 10; Wyoming. 10:
New Hampshire, %. In Georgia the
average is "a, in Alabama and Missis-
slpp1 each 80; in Texas, &c; whereas
In New York the average is e6.. in
Michigan, "a; in Minnesota. 46. in
North Dakota. 81, and in Washington
and Oregon. &c.
The epidemic has abated somewbat
In the past year, as compared with tho
preceding year, In most southern
states, but has increased greatly IN
the northern states. Thus. in Florida
the loss has decreased from 10 per
l,ooo In 1912 to $50 in 1913: in Geor.
gla, from los to 90; In Alabama from
llo to 100; in Mississippi, from 1874
TO l04' in Kentucky, from 95 TO 90
IN Missouri from IT'S to 90: whereas
IN Iowa the loss has increased from
100 per 1000 In 1912 to 255 per 900
In 1918; In Minnesota. from SIS 10 PA.
IN Nebraska, from 10 to IT'S; in South
DAKOTA, from SO to $50, and in North
Dakota, from 20 to rs. The tendency
or the three epidemics appears to

 And to this end has been organized the Life Extension Institute to be ne :
 t.onal in scope. There Is nothing
 esoteric about 1t. no mystic rites or
 mummeries, no ritual. no secrets. The
 learned gentlemen who organized the
 society are convinced that we may all

 Still some of the common sense
 things are the most difficult to do. For
 instance, submitting ourselves to our doctors at stated intervals. say every
 year or every two years. in order to discover our physical impairments in time to head them off. This is what the Life Extension Institution wants ua to do. The first objection to the plan will of course he that it is business -getter for the doctor. and naturally when we are in good health there Is nothing we abhor with fervor g., biased as the prosperous physician.
 The plan. however. can easily clear itself of this charge. for It's details lcok to minimizing of the cost of exsmina tion by various devices of or- ganizion until the only interest the doctor will have in 1t will be the hu- mane satisfaction of beeing healthier world.

The experts of the office of Naval Intelligence who struck the Oregon. the Massachusetts and the Indiana from the ofilciai list of United States battleships in the Navy Year Book be cause they are obsolete might con- slider with advantage the remarks of Admiral A. T. Mahan in an article on Ancient Faliacies Upon Naval Sub jccts." printed In Harper's Magazine. June. 1898.
 Admiral Mahan vigorously disputed the notion that battlcships soon be- come obsolete. and called it "one of those half-truths which. as Tennyson has 1t .are ever the worst of lies"
 There is. of course" he added. "a line on one side of which the term 'obsolete applies, but it may be said that no ship Is obsolete for which fighting work can be found. with a toierable chance-a fighting chance of her being successful: because. though unequal to this or that posi- tion of exposure, she. by occupying an inferior one. releases . better ship"
 It may be that Admiral Mshan is no longer an expert. or is an expert only whom he agrees with the experts os the oface of Naval intelligence New York World.
