Caesarta, or New Jersey.

What is now the state of New Jer-
sey was part of the territory claimed
nv the Dutch under the name of New
Netherlands. Before the English seiz-
ed the country something had been
done to settle this part. although it
had not developed as might have been
expected in the fifty years of Dutch
occupancy The Duke of York, as pro-
prietor of the territory newly acquired.

Woman,s Work.

According to the last volume Of the
British census returns In the United
Kingdom women have succeeded in
establishing themselves in a number
of industries where their presence Is
unexpected.
Several women are paper-hangers
and whitewashers, and four are brick
layers-all of them widows. There is
only one woman coachman. Three
women appear under the heading of
"clergymen, priests and ministers.
and four are coalheavers.
Then there are BAT women car
men, and wagoners, and 231 women
blacksmiths and strikers"
One woman occupies herself with
making patent fuel, and there are
three women shipwrights, and five
women "tramway tar makers"
Finally, England and Wales can
boast of Sc women carpenters and
joiners, and IA women masons. OF the
latter IL are widows

According to recent experiments In
Europe radium is instrumental in pre-
venting diseases of plants. For sew
eral years workers in agronomic sci
ence have been experimenting upon
the effect Of radium on vegetation by
mixing radioactive substances with
the usual fertilizers. The numer-
GUS results obtained in this work
show that most plants, either grain
or flower, are remarkably stimulated
and give a better yield both in size
and quality, this being often seen in
the fine and healthy color of the green
plants or leaves. The same plants are
in better condition to resist attacks
from various sources of disease, es-
pecially diseases known as cryptogam-
ic, which arise from spores or mold. 1t
seems that radium is to act as pre-
ventive for such diseases as wheat
rust, rotting of potatoes, grapevine
mildew and many others which cause
detriment to agriculture.
