GERMANS SINK -FOUR
MORE NEUTRAL SHIPS
Norway Loses Three and Swe.
den One by Submarines.

London, May 4.-Word of the tor.
pedoing of four more neutral vessels
since the attack on the American
steamer Gulflight was brought to Lon
don, indicating that the German SUBJ
marines are striking particularly at
neutral shipping. Not a single British
or French vessel, with the exception
OF few trawlers, has been sunk in
the last day or two. The victims of
the submarines reported are three
Norwegian and one Swedish steamer.
The Norwegian steamer Baldwin was
sent to the bottom in the North sea
after the crew of seventeen men took
to the boats. The men were landed
at Leith. The American and the Lai-
la were the other two Norwegian
vessels sunk. 1t is understood their
crews escaped. The Swedish steamer
Ellida, timber laden, from Helsing.
borg for Hull, was sunk after the
crew of sixteen men and one woman
were given scant time to take to their
beats.
Aberdeen, Scotland, May 4.-Trawl-
ers making port declare that a Ger.
man submarine sank two trawlers
within fifty miles of Aberdeen on the
End. The crews of the two vessels
escaped in small boats and came into
port today.

SUICIDES TO THWART INK
Indiana Man Long Pursued by Trou-

Bloomington, Ind, May Along
pursued by adversely, Isaac Grubbs, a
farmer near South Union, eight miles
southwest of Bloomington, committed
suicide in the presence of his ten
year old son, with whom he had just
talked over funeral arrangements.
For two years Grubbs had seen many
troubles. First he was charged with
being a whitecapper and never out.
lived the stigma which he thought
this charge placed upon him. Later
his home was destroyed by fire. Re-
Gently he had suffered breakdown
in health, and the latter blow is be-
heved to have prompted him to end
his life.
Grubbs chose a novel manner of
committing suicide. While in field
with the boy, he took a shotgun,
placed 1t against his breast and, with
stick, discharged the weapon. A
hole was torn through his left side,
but the man, fully conscious, lived for
ten minutes. During that time, how
ever, he did not utter a word, nor so
much as groan.

Michigan Orchard Laws.

Nearly 80 years ago the State OF
Michigan passed law requiring the
owners of orchards infected with peach
yellows to destroy them, and providing
for the appointment of officers 10 en-
force Its provisions. Later on. as the
necessity arose. the "black.knot" of the
plum, fire blight" of the pear, and
little peach" were included In the
law.
In 1895 a compulsory spraying law
was passed, and after the San Jose
scale made its appearance in the state,
an orchard and nursery inspection law
to urevent the introduction and spread
of dangerous insects was passed in 1897.
The Legislature in 1905 passed law
which included all Of the above acts,
and this is still in effect.
In addition to providing for the in
spection of nursery stock, it mekes it o
misdemeanor to grow or sell nursery
stock in the state without taking out q
license, for which the fee is five dol
lars, and bond for 81 ,OOO conditioned
upon complying with the requirements
of the law, is required.
1t also requires owners of trees in
fected with peach yellows or little
peach to destroy them, and to remove
PORTIONS infected with "black. knot"
and 'fire. blight" Trees infected with
the San Jose scale, canker worm and
other dangerous insects and diseases
must be effectually sprayed.
The inspection and licensing Of the
nurseries, and the general enforcement
of the nursery and orchard laws is
placed in the hands of the State Inspec.
tor of Nurseries, to be appointed by the
State Board of Agriculture
The law also requires township and
village boards and city councils, where
the San Jose scale or other dangerous
insects or infectious tree or plant dis
eases are known to exist, to appoint
three local inspectors. Their duty is
to examine trees likely to be infected.
and if dangerous insects or diseases are
present, a written notice must be
served upon the owner or occupant of
the premises, Informing him of their
presence and ordering him to take
proper measures (which should be spec
lfied) to control them, and allowing
him reasonable number of days in
which to do it. In case the owner fails
to comply with the requirements Of the
law, he may be prosecuted and the
work may be done and the expense as.
sessed as special tax against the prop
er'y. The penalty under the law is fine
or imprisonment, or both.
Many townships land villages where
fruit cultureiis carried on upon com.
mercial scale have active and efficient
local inspectors, and since it is impossi-
BILE to save our fruit trees where the
San Jose scale is found, much less grow
first class fruit, all persons interested
in fruit culture, or in the growing of
81 rubbery about their homes. are urged
to call the attention of the local boards
to the requirement of the law, aud de
mand the appointment of inspectors

gerous insects and diseases are known
to exist

1903 PATIENTS TREATED,
At Vermont Sanatorium During the Past
Year,

The seventh annual report of the YER
mont sanatoriumis now in the hands oil
the printer. TIE advance sheets show
there were 80 patients in the sanatorium
Jan. |, 1914, and that 02 patients were
admitted during the year, making u TO-
tai OF los who were treated. All OF
these except five we're tuberculous. OF
the 92 patients admitted during 1914
10 were incipient; 66 were moderately
advanced; while II were far advanced.
The average length of stay was ''ye
months. The average number q patlehIs
during the year was over ~, beng about
three more than in 1913 Of the pa
tients who were discharged during the
year, IL were apparently cnredi u were
arrested; % were improved; 10 faled
to improve and one died. Sixty-seyen
gained weight, making an average IN
crease of 1866 pounds. The IA patients
who did not gain had an average OF
5.3s pounds. The greatest number OF
patients are very naturally natives OF
Vermont, 81 were from this state; 10
were born in other statesi one in Cana
da, while the remaining Ia were Eu-
ropeans. The sanatorium has completed
its seventh year, and up to Jan. |, 1919,
has admitted SIG patients.
The method of treatment has not va
ried greatly during the past year. The
greatest reliance is placed upon rest,
fresh air and liberal diet, The build
ings are so constructed that every pa
tient is enabled to sleep out OF doors
Forced feeding has never been used,
though the dietary is carefully watched,
and every effort is made to make IT am
pie and appetizing, Bed treatment Is
used for all cases having temperature,
and exercise is given only after careful
observation and under direct supervision
of the medical authorities. Three cases
have been treated by means OF the arti-
fetal pneumothorax and two have MADE
marked and distinct improvement, while
the third has undoubtedly been beneht-
ed. This method of treatment has been
extensively used throughout America Tor
the past four or five years, but it is by
no means applicable to all classes OF
cases
A number of patients have been sup,
ported at the sanatorium by the Red
Cross society and by the state Of YER
mont. No cases are received at the san
atorium until they have been examined
by one Of the sanatoriun examiners,
who are. conveniently located through
out the state.
The financial report shows that the
disbursements during the year we're SD
1858. while the receipts were S22,-
$685.. leaving deficit Of Ss9l.4s, which,
as usual. has been made up by Mrs Emi-
.ly J. Proctor. The income from the en-
dowment fund was s7,344.42. The orig
inai endowment of 100000 has by three
gifts been increased to a total OF $780,
600. The income from patients board
and laundry was sl4,73s77, while the
income from tenements, farm and forest
ioots up to s7s6.4T.

MAYOR or BIRD LAND.
How the Beautiful Lizard Canary Got
Its Unique Name.

The lizard canary is one of the most
dniuue varieties in the cage bird world.
Its beautiful ground color, 50 nicely
licked. and pretty little cap make 1t
a thing of beauty and a JOY forever.
1t is, however, the only variety that
mouths out its plumage at the end OF
the first season. BY this it is meant
that although the bird possesses so
beautiful a coat for the first year, the
plumage disappears altogether at the
second moult
Thus it is show bird for only one
/. e.. the first--season. and this is con-
sidered a drawback to its popularity.
On account of its wearing such gay
apparel for one year and then putting
it aside the lizard has been aptly term
ed "mayor of Birdie Land"
The little story connected with the
lizard and a mayor is well worth re-
peating. 1t was at well known cage
bird show being opened by Sir William
Treloar. then lord mayor OF London.
that this celebrity in few well chosen
words likened himself unto the lizard
canary, many grand specimens Of
which were on view at the show. The
stately robes he then wore were only
for season. Such is the case with
the lizard. Boston Herald.

The church of ST. Johns, Waterloo
road, has an interesting association
with Mendelssohn. The late r. j..
Horsley. r. A., tells in his reminis
cences how the great musician. while
staying with friend on Denmark
hill--in the house where he wrote ehe
Spring Song"-was induced 10 go TO
st. Johns one Sunday morning and
give recital on the organ. On reach
ing the organ loft Mendelssohn was
annoyed TO find himself exposed to the
full view OF the congregation and
vented his displeasure in thunderous
improvisation which greatly startled
the worshipers, used as they were to
the "subdued" music then in vogue.
Not being in the secret. they were
still further surprised when the music
ceased and the eccentric performer
sprang up. clapped on bis hat and
abruptly left the building.-Westmin-

may be that familiarity had dimmed

had been a stodgy little debate with a
dozen members In the house, and the
reporter, with his colleagues perched

the whole business. His feelings FOUND
outlet in a muttered remark as some
noble lord on the cross benches rose to
continue the debate.
"Why don't you move the adjourn

He said II louder than he intended,
and the words reached the noble lord
who had just risen. He on his part
believed the words to be private mint

disregard the suggestion, he said, MY
lords, move the adjournment OF the
debate"
