AND THE SENATOR SuBSIDED
Edison's ReJoinder to Statesman Who
Had Corrected His Pronuncis-
ton Was Crushing.

Thomas A. Edison. whose question
naire 10 college graduates excited q
good deal 0f wrath In college circles,
can hold his own with anybody.
Once at a dinner in New York a
learned senator from Harvard took
Mr.. Edison to task for pronouncing
the word Curator" in the Scottish
way-the inventor Is of Scottish Pres
byterian descent-with the accent on
the first syllable.
"A1r. Edison" the senator said, at
is the usual custom 60 pronounce this
word edr-A-tor, following the analogy
Of the Latin, in which tongue, as
you're doubtless aware, the penulti.
mate syllable is long"
"Thank you" said the great In
ventor II suppose you know, how
ever, that il Is the Scottish custom to
follow the analogy of the English, and
TO accent the word on its first rather
than its second syllable; but Of course
l bow to the authority of so learned
senator and so eloquent an ora
tor as yourself"

The old Quaker meeting house at Eas-
ton, Md, is probably the oldest frame
building standing in the United States
just where it was built and as II
was built, without any change addi-
tions or subtractiOns and with an au-
thentic record since 1858. An occa-

roof and of the weather boarding are
all the repairs it has had. Its frame.
inside and woodwork, and some Of the
weather boarding are the same as
when built about the same time that
William Penn, who visited the build
ing, was trading with the Indians and
laying out Philadelphia.
The only preservative used on the
wood has been old-fashioned white
wash ON the outside. Seven OF the
original plank seats and the wood
work inside have had no paint what
ever. White oak, white pine cypress
and Southern pine from the Maryland
forests were the woods used.

New Expanding Bullet.

A new form of expanding bullet
for blg-game hunters has been de-
signed. 1t Is for rifles of .30-calibre.
1t supersedes the old soft-nosed bull
let's to which there were many objec-
lions. In new bullet the tip ID
made Of tinplated gliding metal, and
upon impact is forced back into the
cover, expanding the point Of the
bullet, which is slotted In such man
ner that Il retains its pointed shape
until this impact occurs. This is UNI
like the old soft-nosed bullets which,
from their nature, were liable to be
deformed by handling before they were
loaded into a rife. The weight of the
new bullet is $50 gr., which is general
ly considered about the best shooting.

considerable distance is expensive and
subject to the danger of introducing
troublesome weeds, insects and plant

An easier method of field soil in

where only a small amount of inocu-
lated soil is available Is TO coat the
seed with inocuIated soil by means of
ordinary furniture glue.

and pulverize It, Scatter this dust

habit, and as nearly as possible in the
section where they are to be planted.
No harm is likely to result from trans
ferring such trees from northern points
to more southerly locations in so far
as reaction to temperature is con-
cerned.
The suitability of the black walnut
for home planting Is now being recog-
niZed as never before. That II is one
Of our most valuable American trees
and that its numbers have steadily
been decreasing has long been real
lied. To considerable extent this
tree was planted on the western pfair-
les by the first settlers in compliance
with the timber and stone act, repealed
In the late eighties, which required
that trees be planted In proportion
to land taken up from the government.
Some planting has been going on in
states and districts beyond the range
to which the species is indigenous.
Even now the forest service of the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture does not advise its planting In
pure stands on land from which in
come is necessary during the lifetime
of the average planter, as no returns
In timber are probable under at least
IS or 40 years from the time of plant
ing.
Department experts recommend that
the walnut be included among the
species for planting in public parks,
ON large, private lawns and dooryards,
along highways, and In out-of-the-way
places on the farm. 1t is invariably
the single tree planted In the open,
apart from other trees, that develops
into the most perfect specimen. II Is
such trees that produce the greatest
quantity of nuts. Usually the finest
quality of kernel is from this source.
