kins, American consular agent in Puebla,
Mexico, conspired to have himself kid
naped, reached the state department.
Wednesday, These charges are looked
upon as an effort by Mexico to obscure

tion of Jenkins presented phases in
dicatiye OF connivance by Jenkins and
certain of his associates with the bandits,

cial representatives in Puebla.
The Excelsior says the consular agent
was kidnapped and that Cordoya. leader
Of the bandits. signed a receipt for
100000 pesos, although it says it is not
known how much Of this amount has
been paid or who paid it.

has been released on bail. IS believed to
have been brought about by the local
courts wanting to assure testimony to

SWATMAN, SPARE THAT FLY!
Swat Not a Single Wing; They Tell
Us TITS Surplus Fly and
Useful Little Thing.

Not all flies are enemies of man and
deserving of being hunted with the
swatter and trapped with fly paper, ac'
cOrding TO G. F. Fluke, entOmolOgist al
the Wisconsin experiment station. The
surplus flies, commonly called "sweet
bees and ''hover flies" are the chief
enemies of plant lice, according to Mr..
Fluke, and the latter would cause
enormous loss if their numbers were
not kept down by the flies.
The surplus flies are marked with
black and yellow bands on the aldo
men, but they neither sting nor bite.
The adult lays eggs among the colo
MES of plant lice, and when the larvae
hatch they feed upon the lice. But
for the flies, plant lice would destroy
large areas of fruit trees and field
crops, especially peas, Mr. Fluke says,
and they should therefore be protect
ed, rather than killed.

A TickIish Bit of TunneIino.

A very interesting bit of tunneling
was recently done on the Fourteenth
street tube under the East river, New
York. The heading was being run in
rock and at one point test holes showed
a thickness of only eight inches of
sound dry rock above the line along
which the top of the tunnel was to
run. AS the tunnel was being driven
without the use of compressed air it
was decided to drop the upper head
ing four feet until this thin cover of
rock was passed. The cast iron lining
was set in place at each side of this
section and the rock was removed
very carefully by using great many
holes, each loaded with about one
eighth of stick of dynamite. As each
bit of rock was removed the arch of
the tunnel lining was set in place. BY
this means the dangerous section was
tunneled without breaking through
the thin shell.

NEED TO SHOW CIVIC PRIDE
Individual Citizens Must Recognize
They Are Responsible for Towns
Good Appearance.

Prosperity and a spirit of progress
have caused a vast change for the bet
ter in the appearance and development
of the smaller towns of the country
in the past % years. This is strik-
ingly noticeable in Indiana, which for
merly showed too many villages with
ragged edges, uninviting streets,
tumbIe-down sheds and other unat-
tractive features.
Now the outlook of the traveller is
quite different. He sees clean, paved
streets, cement sidewalks, beautiful
shade trees, well-kept lawns, and a
general appearance Of cheerful we'll
being. There are exceptions to the
rule, however; Indiana has many beau
tiful towns, but there are still some
which are slipshod and carry the sug-
gestion that their public spirit Ian
cuisines. Some stimulus to their pride,
something to encourage local improve
ment and arouse the people to the fact
that they are not keeping up with the
times, is needed. 1t might be done
by a state society that would grade
the work, offer suggestions and show
that a town may be made beautiful
without great expense and with each
citizen doing his part.-Indianapolis

Dirty Piano KEYS.

It is more important to keep the
keys clean than many people are
aware, especially if several students
are practising on the same instrument.
Dirty keys are a source of infection.
They should be wiped with damp
cloth every day. Not so wet that the
water runs down between the keys,
but sufficient to cleanse them of all
matter. Dry with soft cloth, and
close the piano when the room is be-
ing swept, but open the lid after

ing Of citizens in San Rafael early in

The surveys show that the bridge

Mason. The Gate has total width at
that point of $500 feet, and sOundings
show rock formation in the center,
which would support the central span.
A San Francisco banker has offered

PLANT ELMS AND LINDENS
For the Parkway They Have Many
Advantages Over Others That
Might Be Selected.

A correspondent asks advice regard
ing the kind of trees TO plant in the
parkway in front of his home.
Several people advised elms," he
writes, but they are such slow grow
ers, and as / am not young l would
like to plant some kind that l will
have a chance to enjoy. l am also
thinking of planting four fruit trees
in the yard. probably three cherries,
as they seem to do better than most
fruit trees, and pear or an apple"
The American elm is by far the
best tree for this purpose. 1t grows
fast enough, starts to branch high and
does not obstruct the view. 1t arches
beautifully, high up over the street.
and is long-lived, hardwood variety,
not seriously affected by Insects and
fungus pests.
The American linden might grow
little faster, but the tussock moth likes
it too well. The American ash grows
faster, but it soon gets shaggy, is sus-
ceptible to boring insects and drops its
leaves in August. The sycamore is
good and faster grower, but its bark
is shaggy. The blackberry is just as
good as the elm, but slower growing.
The red, and pin oaks are better, but
no one has the patience to plant them.
Do not plant cottonwood, box elders,
soft naples, nor poplar where an elm,
hard maple, blackberry, oak or gingko
will grow.
