Sleeping Sickness in Maine.

Ten deaths from sleeping sickness or
lethargic encephalitis have already been
recorded in Maine with the State De-
partment of Health, while the number of
cases which have occurred, but have not
resulted in death, is impossible to esti-
mate as all physicians have not yet come
to understand that the disease is report
able.
DR.. L. d. Bristol, commissioner of
health in Maine, offers the following
brief explanation of the nature and his
tory of this mysterious disease. He says:
Sleeping sickness, as it is popularity
known, is not to be confused with the
tropical disease of that same name. Its
medical name is lethargic encephalitis
and it has also become popularity spoken
of as influenza of the brain. Whether
this is proper term to apply to the dis
ease or not, it is thought by some author
tiles to be an aftermath of the great in
huenZa epidemic, while others consider it
an entirely distinct disease.
''Its past history shows that it was
known in Europe as far back as 1918 and
in more recent times during the two
years of 10000 it appeared in Italy,
France and Hungary and few cases In
this country.
'Its present history dates back to the
winter of 1917 in Vienna; next it appear
ed in England and France in 1918; and
since that date has been prevalent in this
country.
'Its symptoms include the drowsiness
or sleepnesS from which the popular
name of the disease was conceived; in
famation or pain in the eyes, with dou
bic vision or twisting of the eyes in the
head; fever; headache; infection of the
nose and throat; mental depression; slow
or rapid speech. The patient lies in bed
usually browsing with expressionless
face.
"The disease is thought to be mildly
contagious and has been made reportable
in this State so that statistics as it occurs
here will be increasingly available."l

To wait for state flower or a

DESTROY PEACH TREE B0RER
Fine CRYSTALS Of Para-dichIorobenzene
Sprinkled Around Base Of Trees
Is Efficient.

( The horticulturists Of the United
States Department of Agriculture
have found a new agent for the eradi-
cation of the destructive peach tree
borer which has done $6,00O,0O0 dam
age annually. The most effective
remedy known heretofore has been to
dig the larvae out of the trunks of the
trees or to kill them with long sharp
wire. The new treatment consists of
sprinklirg crystals of para-dichloro-
benzene around the base of the trees
and covering slightly with earth. The
substance is highly volatile, readily
changing to a gas which is heavier
than air and settles down through the
soil. The gas is an effective destroyer
of the pest. The para-dichlorobenzene
can be obtained at any drug store. A
pound is sufficient for eight or ten
trees and costs only about % cents.

PASS PENSION ALLOWANCE.

Public utilities bills bid fair to keep
before the lawmakers until the last
day of the session. The Osborn bill,
in the senate, was revamped in an
effort to make it agreeable to home
rule advocates and at the same time
strengthen the state utilities commits
sion, and a vote on II was delayed
while 1t was being reprinted. The
Dafoe bill, in the house, was held in
committee because the Osborn bill
had been given the right of way.
The newest of the pending utilities
bills is one that would empower the
state commission to order the connec.
ton of two electric lines for through
service, the object being to allow in
terurban cars in Detroit to go through
in the event that the city takes over
some of the lines now held by the
operating company.

mothers pensions to a maximum of
SO a week and minimum Of 81

favor. 1t passed in the same form in
which 1t came from the senate, so now
goes to the governor.
Both houses have passed the bill to

having considerable amounts Of sedi-
ment (15-2O-50 formula) was less de-
structive to the eggs but the young
psylas which Matched for the most
part failed to reach the opening buds
and these succumbed to the action of
the sediment which became attached
to their bodies after leaving the egg
shells.
While the adult psyllas seem to
prefer to spend the winter under the
loose bark of the trees, they may
seek shelter under any waste which
affords protection. Matted weeds.
tufts of grass, leaves, or rubbish on
or about the trees present ideal hid
ing places for the insects.
The rough bark not only provides
a shelter for the psyllas during the
winter but II also constitutes the chief
obstacle to thorough spraying during
the dormant season to kill the hiber-
mating flies. Its removal is desirable
for two reasons: first, to render the
trees less attractive for the purposes
of Information during late fall, win
ter and early spring; and, second, to
facilitate more thorough spraying
of the trunks and lower portions of
the larger limbs. The loose bark
should be removed by dull hoe or
floor scraper, preferably during a
wet period, as the bark Is then more
easily detached. Care should be taken
not to cut into the live tissues as the
wounds may become infested with
disease. The bark should be collect
ed and burned to kill the insects
which are attached to the scrapings.
The chief factors which make for
efficient work against the alternating
psylla flies and their eggs are Q) a
knowledge on the part Of the grower
of the habits of the flies and an ac-
quaintance with the eggs; (2) an un-
Outstanding of the conditions under
which these stages are most vulner-
able to sprays; (3) thorough work In
spraying.

An AirpIane Brake.

The newest idea for airplane wheels
is to mount upon the periphery of each
wheel a number of little wheels.
This arrangement, says the Popular
Science Monthly, helps to retard the
forward motion Of the flying machine
on making landing. The little
wheels, brought successfully into po-
sition by the force of impact. tend
to check the plane and bring 1t to
a quick and smooth stop.
