WILD LEMONS IN PROPULSION
According to Traveller, They Are q
Generous Gift of Nature to
Island Of Norfolk.

Lemons grow wild all over the island
Of Norfolk, British possession in TIE
South Pacific, according to Thomas j.
Mcmahon, in the Trans-Pacific Maya
zine, He writes that In every gare.@.
and paddock are clumps OF trees {, e..
bearing fruit in wonderful abundance.
and Of a variety full of rich Juice
and with a rind most suitable for
lemon peel.
Little factories, family concerns, are
dotted all over the islands. They are
usually roughly constructed wooden
buildings divided into three rooms.
There, with rather primitive instru-
ments, the women cut and squeeze
the lemons in huge frames, and the
skins are soaked in brine preparatory
to making lemon peel. During the
lemon season, which is most of the
year, the boys and girls are engaged
daily In picking the fruit.
While there are only 800 people
on the island, it could comfortably
and prosperously house 5000 per
sons, according to Mr.. Mcmahon. The
island is five miles long, three miles
broad and contains 5000 acres.

Finding speed.Rates Of Insects.

Experts of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture have just been
carrying out some tests to discover the
speed-rates Of different species of flies.
In a district Of northern Texas 234,-
600 flies of various species were
caught, were busted with finely
powdered red chalk, and were then
liberated. Fly-traps, baited with food
especially relished by flies, were placed
at measured distances from the point
Of release. 1t was found that most
flies would travel distances up TO
1000 feet in few minutes. The
house-f1y covered over six miles In less
than "A hours. The maximum dis
lance travelled by it in these expert
ments was 1914 miles.
Whether 1t made this stOpping-place
its permanent home or returned to-
ward the starting-point is not recorded
in the accounts that have appeared.

CITY TO NEED
MONEY SOON
Sinking Fund Points Out
Ways Funds May Be
Obtained
OPPOSE LONG TERM
BONDS FOR STREETS

Robert d. Kemp. David NJ. Hille
gas and John j. Monaghan. Sinkinl
Fund Commissioners. submitted theii
annual report to City Council last
night. with recommendations for
needed city improvements and the
best methods of financing the same.
The report shows that the amount
OF securities held for the benefit of
the sinking fund is s1S1.S0O. TO
which the sum Of $4,000 will be
added in August. bringing the total
10 more than 100000, which may
be invested in city, state or federal
bonds. The commissioners offered
recommendations. requiring legisla-
tive action, which may admit of
carrying out large prospective civic
improvements without drawing too
heavily on the sinking fund. The
r port closes with the following
statement:
I'VE wish to bring 10 your atten-
ton the necessary public improve
ments the city will have to consider
in the very near future; a sewage
system for South Wilmington, a
sewage system for the Eastlake and
north OF Vandever avenue sections,
important additions to the water
supply system, funds for completion
Of the harbor project. funds fo- i'm
provement and extension OF the
pL 5lic parks. And in addition there
10. the constant demand for street
paving and extensions 10 the present
sewer system will greatly increase as
the building of houses must soon be
under way to provide for the in
crease for our evergrowing popula-
tion.
with these improvements in
mind, and as we are fast approach |
ing the legal limit OF the borrowing |
capacity OF our cley. serious consld-
Grafton should be given any PROPOSE |
ton which would provide for the |
issuance of long term sinking funo |
bonds, and particularly to the mat |
ter OF issuance Of such bonds for
public works. which may be of
a temporary nature.
I'VE would respectfully suggest
that one source Of providing for
future street paving might be
through the. diverting OF the paving
liens now collected, for the new paw
ing. by the Street and Sewer Depart
ment into the sinking fund and thus
create a fund for the redemption
of street paving bonds.
I'VE would earnestly recommend
that as the average life of a street
as now paved is ten to twelve years,
that no bonds for such purposes be
issued in the future through the
sinking fund, as 1t at present
but that legislative authority be
requested to permit of the issuance
of bonds for such purposes for a
term OF years no longer than the

For Alleged Attack.

Arthur Thomas, colored. one of the
chop men of the Great Northern out

Phil McLoughlin at $3.50 this morn
