OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
THE PARANDRA BORER.
Attacks Orchards In Which the Trees
Have Previously Been Injured.

ATTACKS OrcnardS In Wnicn the reeS
Have Previously Been Injured.
Prepared by United States department of
agricultural
The parandra borer Is an insect
which can do very little harm to fruit
and other trees as long as they are
sound and vigorous, but which is quick
to take advantage Of any injury to
complete the work Of destruction. Or
chardists are therefore recommended
to keep their trees free from all ex-
posed dead surfaces. For example, the
not uncommon practice, when pruning
out large branches, of leaving stubs of
six inches or more Is quite likely to
result in ultimate injury from this in
sect. The stubs are practically sure to
die back to the trunk, and the decayed
spot or cavity thus formed attracts
the beetle as a place in which to lay
her eggs. Instead of leaving such
stubs, therefore, the cut should be made
nearer the trunk, where the natural
swell at the base of the branch will
insure rapid healing. The cut surface
should then be covered with a heavy
coat of white lead or some similar
paint.
1t frequently happens also that the
parandra borer takes advantage of in
jury caused by the entrance of the
common round headed apple tree borer
into a tree. For this reason whenever,
round headed borers are found they
should be removed at once while the
wounds made by them are still suf-
fciently small TO heal quickly. Acct
dental injuries to a tree should be
remedied by cleaning off the torn and
splintered bark and wood and painting
the surface thoroughly.
Precautions such as these, if careful
ly carried out, will probably protect

Kaiser Goes In for Making Bricks.

On the private estate of Emperor
William at Cadinen, Germany, a
brick kiln has been put in operation,
and immense quantities of bricks are
being manufactured to aid in the build

MATERIAL FOR BUILDING.

Houses made entirely of solid con-
crete are cold and damp, but concrete
blocks may be used with good results.
Hollow tile makes a very good poultry
house, and it can be bought in some
sections at price which compares
favorably, considering its durability,
with wood. This construction is well
adapted to incubator cellars and brood

TWO BOYS INJURED BY EXPLOSION
George Sansk of Aqueduct Street May Lose One Eye by Injury When Percussion Caps Went Of Sunday Morn ing-West Side Residents Awakened by the Explosion at 7:3O OClock-Jacob Sadnski Also Hurt

West Side people who live anywhere in the neighborhood of IA Aqueduct street were reused out of their slum- bers Sunday morning-except perhaps the rare few who are up at 7.30 on the day of rest-by an explosion or sev- eral of them all at once. The noise was quite contrary to the customary quiet of the neighborhood and 1t startled people as far away as Ann street. Chief Stanton, whose home on Fairmount street is close by the place where the trouble broke out, was up, being a habitual early riser. scented a fire or somebody shot, and so he pulled on his rubber boots and betook himself quickly to the seat of disturbance. So did about a hundred more people in the next few minutes. The chief got there just in time to see David Sadin- ski carrying off his unconscious son in his arms to the office of Dr. Harry E. Higgins.
 The noise brought Policeman Brock and the result of investigation was that it was learned that George Attle- man of Providence, R. l., who peddles dishes from wagon, had been the

cause of the trouble, although it was not altogether his fault. He had spent the night at the Sadinski home on Aqueduct street and one of the women who lived next door got interested in his wares. She had no money and so she offered to trade some copper wire for dishes. To get the insulation off, Attleman built little fire in the mid- dle of the street and put the wire in it. The two Sadinski boys were right on hand to see the fun. Then the thing blew up. It was found later when the wire was examined that 1t was evil dently used for blasting and that ii was connected with a number of per- cussion caps such as are used to ex- plode dynamite. which must have burst in the flames.
 Both of the boys were knocked down unconscious, and Dr. Higgins found that George, the older one, about 13 had been struck in the eye by a piece of the flying metal. He bled freely and it looked Sunday as if the boy might lose an eye. Jakie, his veal | old brother, got cuts and bruises on his i face and arms and foot and leg.

AT THE Y. M. c. A.
Rev. Joseph F. Cobb Spoke Sunday
 Afternoon on Be Strong"

Be Strong. was the substance of the practical talk given by Rev. oseph r. Cobb, the speaker at the mems meet ing in the Y. M. C. A. parlJTs on Sun day afternoon at 3.3G o'clock. Rev. Mir Cobb took his text from 1 Co. 3: 9: Ye Are Gods Builders.
 Rev. Mir. Cobb spoke of the thou stands employed in the construction of SolOmon's temple and said it could not be doubted that these workers grew tired of their tasks. But their work was essential for without them the temple could never have been built
 In the building of Gods spiritual temple there have been, and are many engaged in bearing burdens. Their lots seem to be tedious and tiresOne, yet whatever they do that makes for spiritual growlh serves Gods great purpose.
 We are told to be strong. We are not here to play. to dream, to drift, we have hard work to do; shun not the struggle for it is Gods gift.
 In closing Rev. MT. Cobb gave three things that should be considered in the building of temples: First, the foundation is a very important part; it must be strong, firm and good. In appearance it should be somewhat like the building that is to rest upon it, and of equal strength in every part. There is one foundation for man-the Lord. He is the chief cornerstone. Secondly-It is of the utmost inn portance to know what is to be placed on the foundation. The material must be selected.
 ThirdIy-As the ornaments and fur niture in the great temple were beau tiful and in keeping with the magni- | fCenCe of the building so in this tenn | pie we are building there should be ornaments. We should therefore place | therein at least three Christian graces l Faith life and If hp1T | this thought in mind, this coming | Christmas and every renewing Christ
 mas will be a merry, joyous, happy | Christmas and we shall spread the | Christmas joy.

DIMlNUTIVE PATIENT
 AT BAcKUS HOSPITAL,
A Pigeon Walked in the Front Door the Other Day to Get His Wing Fixed Up.


 There is a new ward at the Backus hospital, an entirely private one, and in it is one of the most interesting cases the staff has had under observa- tion this winter. Late Friday after noon, about 5, during a Hull in the days storm, the attendant at the main entrance looked down the front steps, and up them, in a manner that was quite determined and decisive, came hopping-a white pigeon. Straight up the steps and to the door walked the bird, and then when the maid opened the door, quite calmly it hopped into the vestibule. The attendant called for a nurse and, when she came, she found that the visitor was actually there as a prospective patient. She picked up the bird, found blood on its wing and wound that looked as if some boy airgun might have hit the pigeon. The pigeon seemed to be suffering and the formalities of admission were dis pensed with. The bird was taken right away to the accident room the wound cleansed and dressed and now MT. Pigeon is making a splendid recovery | in q box that is all his Own-the new l est ward at the hospital.
 l And just as soon as his wounded l wing is sound once more. the pigeon | will again be given his liberty, if he decides he wants to go.
