sofa it is commonly called "nubbins."
The disease is characterized in the
field by definite plant, fruit and leaf
symptoms. When plants are attacked
while very young, they are markedly
dwarfed by the action of the disease,
growth is slow, the runners are very
much shortened, the leaves are CORE
spondingly reduced in size, the plants
blossom sparingly, and the amount of
fruit is very much reduced. When old
err plants become diseased the principal
visible effects are on the subsequent
growth of vines and fruit, the vine tips
and leaves being dwarfed and notified
and the fruit malformed as described
elsewhere.
The leaves of diseased plants are
dwarfed, often curled and wrinkled,
and usually have a mosaic or marbled
appearance in which areas of light and

celain filter and still retain its ability
to reproduce the disease when injected
into healthy plants. The sap or juice
of any portion OF diseased vine, if in
jected into a healthy vine, Will pro-
duce the disease. The period of incu-
baton, that is, the time which elapses
from the incubation of the vine to the
first visible symptoms of the disease
in the greenhouse Is from seven TO
fourteen days, while In the field Ii is
usually fourteen to twenty-five days.
The agencies of transmission of the
disease from diseased to healthy plants
are doubtless many, 1t has been def
nitely proved that plant lice trans
ferred from diseased TO healthy plants
will carry the disease. 1t is highly
probable that other insects will be
found to act as carriers 1t is also
practically certain that the disease is
spread by pickers when harvesting the
cucumbers.

French Aviator, After Astounding
Flight, Is Captured in Poland
Does Not Bombard Berlin.

Paris, July ga French army
aviator has flown across Germany,
dropping proclamations on the city of
Berlin. News of this world-astonish-

oner by the Austrians.
In the cou.se of his long flight, the

Marchal covered about 1900 kilo-
meters, or approximately 6O6 miles, In
a straight line.
This was the first time the east

where the Australians had established
themselves on one side OF the main
street. with the Germans on the other.
Unremittingly the German guns
Kept Il curtain there, with burst after
burst of shrapnel, raining bullets and
high explosives, their black bursts
churning the earth. On the other
side of the massed remains OF that
village, which is precious high ground,
the British guns placed the same kind
of curtain, as il serving the same
kind of notice that no one might pass
the barrier of dead and join in the
struggle of the combatants surround
ed by an Internal ring.
But back from the scene came
mere prisoners and two guns taken,
and news that the Australians. not
content with holding one side of the
street, now had both, and, digging,
bombing, drcking. and rushing amidst
piles of fallen bricks and debris, were
pressing on to the mastery OF the
whole village.
This and some sections of trench
beyond Bazantin-le-Petit were the
gain for this sultry day, with the
thick dust of the traffic in the rear
/ and the smoke of shells hanging low
over the field of battle.
Never since the battle of the Somme
began has the correspondent of the
press seen more Smelling by both
sides.
Pounding, with no recess, is pro-
ceeding on every part OF the line, but
is particularly heavy on the right OF
the line, as well as on the left at
Pozieres.
The Germans are pouring in an I'M
ceasing volume on the Trones wood,
where the British infantry face the
village of Guillemont, and answering
thunders are deluging Guillemont.
What Pozieres is to the left, Guile
mont and Ginchy beyond are to the
right. Apparently, the Germans have
brought still more guns and troops
from verdun for the issue at stake
here.
The loss of life on both sides has
been very heavy.
Petrograd reports to London say the
Russians have pierced the German
front on the Riga-Dvinsk line, and the
Slavs have driven the Austrians back
into the mountains on the Hungarian
border.

Fruit From Plant Affected With Mosa-

Dark Green.

dark green alternate. In some cases
the leaves brown and die back from
the tip. ~ lae'~..s-.. ~
The fruits are very conspicuously af-
fected, being dwarfed, more or less mot
tied or bletched with areas of darker
green on a background of light green,
greenish yellow, or almost white. In
the most decided cases the green areas
are raised and appear as definite warts
or protuberances, sometimes of consid-
cradle size, and the fruits take on
many abnormal shapes. In some cases
the fruits are almost white, hence the
name "white pickle" This name prob
ably is due to a confusion Of this dis
eased condition with the white or al
bino plants which typically bear white
colored pickles, and which have been
for many years. The discoloration and
warty condition of the fruits, which
often appear on cucumbers not more
than an inch or two long, render them
unfit for picking purposes, so that in
addition to the great reduction in yield
caused by the disease, many, if not all,
of the fruits produced by diseased
vines are unmarketable.
In the greenhouse the disease is
quite similar in its principal symptoms
to those found in the field, the princi-
pal differences being that the disease
appears to be more viruient, many OF
the plants whiting and dying.
Nature of the Disease.
The mosaic disease belongs to the
same class as the mosaic diseases of
tobacco, potato, tomato, poke weed and
other plants, which have been known
for some time. The exact cause OF
this class of trouble has not been dis
covered, but it is considered TO be what
is known as the filterable virus, an
agent of infection which is so finely di-
vided that it will pass through por-
