EUGENE EASTMAN

he lad been making his nome. Mr..
Eastman has been suffering for the
past three weeks from a severe shock.
Mr.. Eastman was a native of New
Hampshire and came<to Portland about
81 years ago to work for the local
ranch of the Western Union. having
Previously served his apprenticeship
in various cities, including Augusta.
Fe was marager of the local Office for
a Number Of years, retiring about six
years ago and claimed to he the first
operator in the country to use a type
writer in connection with the business
of dots and dashes.
For years and years Mr.. Eastman
took the press report for the daily pa
pers, sometimes two or three copies
at che time. again 10 or u. and it was
of cours a wearing strain. He de-
cided that if a typewriter could be us
ed in copying the dispatches direct
from the wire it would be a great
thing. The subject had been under
discussion a long time. and in some
large cities the experiment had been
made but without success. One OF the
best operators in the Boston Western
Union office had worked steadily for
a month attempting to master the diff
iCulties that arose from keeping apart
the two conflicting noises, namely. that
Of the Geographic sounder and the
click Of the typewriter. It was hard
work and the operator finally gave
UP in disgust. saving that the feat
could not be accomplished and that
nothing could take the place Of the
good old pen and ink
When the night clerk in the Boston
Office heard that Mr.. Eastman had
been practicing with a typewriter. he
called him up one evening and told
him he was throwing away his time.
that the matter was not practicable.
telling him OF the experience of the
Boston operator and advising him to
stick to the pen. Mr.. Eastman ~as
rot discouraged. however. and persist.
emily kept at II. sending messages ano
receiving them from his wife. who was
an operator at another branch office
Of the company. in spare moments.
It was in the summer Of 1882 that
lie first began using a trrewriter in
copying direct from wire. His machine
was a Caligraph and fer nearly 9
years he used 1t for all messages. He
was considered one Of the finest op-
orators in New England.
Mr.. Eastman has a beautiful orange
plantation and summer home at the
Isle of Pines. where he had recently
passed the winters.
Funeral services will be held from
his late home at 2 o'clock Wednesday
afternoon and the Masonic rites will
he performed. Officials and operators
from the local Western Union branch
as well as from other cities. will Re
present 70 pay tribute to the memorv
Of one Of the most efficient. genial and
pleasant men in the company's en-
plov.

Wire WORMS
Fall Flowing Is the Sur
est Remedy

Orono, Me, Oct. 1.-THE following has
been issued from the Office Of Director
Charles d. Woods Of the Maine agricu,-
tural experiment station:
Wireworms are slender grubs of yellow
ish white color and very hard bodi $
They are the young Oarvae) of clich-
beetles or swapping beetles, SO call-i
from the fact that when placed UP 4
their backs they will suddenly bend III
body and. with a sharp clicking scum
throw themselves 4 considerable Gistanc
into the air. They are among the mo. (
troublesome Of crop pests and as they
live underground it is difficult to combat
them.
AT the New York. Cornell, Agricultural
Experiment Station exhaustive eXper.-
ments covering a period Of three years
were made for the purpose OF testing
remedial measures. The statements here
made are based largely upon the results
of those experiments. Many methods
that had previously been recommended
for the destruction of these pests were
found to be inefficient. To cite but one
example: 1t was found that the wire
worms were still alive in soil to which
salt enough had been applied to kill the
vegetation.
One method, especially approved, was
fall blowing. The explanation Of the
benecial results that follow fail blowing
is believed to be found in the following
facts. Wire worms live for at least three
years in the worm or larval state. When
the worms are full grown they change to
soft white pupae during July. The pupae
state lasts only about three weeks, the
insect assuming the adult state in Au-
gust. But, strange to say. although the
adult form is reached at this time, the
insect remains in the cell in the ground
till the following April or May. nearly a
year. This period of quiescence is appar-
emily necessary to the life of the beetle,
for in every case where the soil was dis
turbed after the insects had transformed.
the beetles persisted. BY fall blowing we
can destroy the beetles in the soil and
thus prevent their depositing eggs the
following season.
After blowing Cat least six inches deep
the soil should be we'll pulverized and
kept stirring so that the earthen cells Of
the pupae and adults may be destroyed.
It will usually require at least three
years to render the soil comparatively
free from wire worms. AS only the pupae
and dults are killed the young larvae re-
naming ~uninjured.
