MAP OF THE UNITED STATES
FOR 1 CENT

SchoOl-teachers who are not fa-
miliar with the many and various
maps published by the United States
Geological Survey will be interested
to learn of small map of the Unit
ed States which is sold by that bu-
reau at the nominal price of cent.
This map shows rivers, lakes, State
boundaries, State capitals, and prin-
cipal cities, but not the less import
ant features, whose numerous names
and symbols tend to create obscurity
and confusion. This map does not
show heights or mountain ranges.
1t measures about 5 IL by IL inches
and its scale is 26O miles to / inch.
Five copies of the map are sold for
cents If an order for them is in
cluded in any order for maps
amounting to So.
The Survey publishes also maps
of the United States on larger scales,
one on scale of about 100 miles to
l inch for 5 cents retail, and one on
a scale of about 11O miles to inch,
with contours to show relief, or
without contours, for Is cents retail.
The wholesale prices for these maps
are cents and cents, respectively.
A relief map of the United States
measuring 18 by zS inhces, on a
scale of 110 miles to the inch, is
sold for Is cents, or TOR cents if an
order for it is included in an order
for maps amounting to SO. This
map shows the rivers, principal cities
and State boundaries, and is shaded
in colors to show the heights above
sea level of all parts of the country.
Orders for these maps should be
addressed to the Director, U. S. Geo
logical Survey, Washington, D. c.,
and accompanied by remittance, in
cash or postal money order.

Destroy The wild Onion.

The money loss for the United States due to
wild Onions runs into millions of dollars each
year, while the loss in Maryland from this
same cause Is very great while the discomfort
to consumers of tainted milk and butter is
almost as great as the money loss.
The County Agent says, to fight this plant
successfully. it Is necessary to understand its
habit Of growth. He says there are two sets
Of builds and consequently an overlapping of
carnations which is the secret of the remark
able persistence Of this weed.
According to his ideas the best time to
destroy the onion is when the food stored in
the parent built has been transferred to the
growing plant and before the new bulbs have
stated to form.
This condition exists in Maryland about
the first of Nobember or when the new plants
are from twelve to fifteen inches high.
When this stage has been reached the onions
should be plowed under fairly deep turning
under all the onion tops. The following spring
the land should be well cultivated from a
crop Of small grain or better cultivated crop
like corn. If the corn is given careful cult
vation so as to keep down all top growth of
the onion there should be little trouble in the
following crops.
An important remedial method is to SOW
small grain late in the spring plowing and pre-
pairing the land just before sowing; while this
VIII not destroy the onions it will give them
such setback that bulblets do not have time
70 mature before harvest SO that the grain
VIII DO comparatively free from them.
All seed grain should be free of the onion
bulbets as they are one of the means by which
this weed is spread.
The Same suggestions will apply to the Star
OF bethlehem, which is a weed of very similar
habit of growth.

A Collision in Midair
From the Rochester Democrat Clr..NnioIa

From the Rochester Democrat and
 Ch'onicle.
 Although the development of modern navigation of the air has required the sacrifice of many human lives, 1t Is only within q week that a serious col lision in mdair has resulted disastrous ly. Last Friday. while military dir tgible balloon, with seven expert aero nauts. was maneuvering above the army aviation field at Vienna, Austria. the great fabric was struck amidship by military aeroplane which rent the gas bag. Two pilots occupied the aeroplane, which was also wreck ed and the nine aviators fell with the burning wreckage of the two machines from height of 25O0 feet
 There are no survivors of this aerial collision to tell the story of the wreck and its immediate cause must remain a matter of speculation. In some guar ters there Is the usual disposition to put the blame upon the human factor: but the cold fact remains that the art of human flight, much as it has ad- vanced since the time of the Mont golfer brothers. yet baffles human skill and ingenuity. The assumed importance Of bot hthe aeroplane and the dirigible balloon in Hatlitary operations has led to q feverish competition among the great powers of the world. but the re- liable and even reasonably safe mili- tsry aerial cruiser is not yet.

In the region between the stars H. r and Aptares there are a great many other interesting clusters though these all re- quire telescope to render them visible), while at the point K there is an interest ing planetary nebula which shines as a greenish. misty, eighth magnitude star.
