THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG. WOMAH PERIL 15 GREATEST OF Mi In Wnr for Equality She Must Fail, and Ccrry Man to De struction with Her THE HUMAN RACE IS MENACED "Hr Revolt Against Her Woman hood," Says H. E. Armstrong, Brit ish Sclcntitt, "It Most Disquieting" -Through System of education. WinntpiM', Mar.ltcliM. "TIib most disquiet !nt? tVrttiiio or the times Is the revolt of women ii;stlnnt tluir mother hood nnd tliclr claim to be on tin equnlity wltii mrin .".ml to commute with man In every way." That win the ilcllherate, solemn declaration nt tln pesslon of porhnpa the moHt Imfinrtatit body of scientists Jn existence, the ltritlsh Association for the Advancement of Sell rvo. which held Its seventy-ninth annual convention here, meeting In ('atimU for the first time In twelve years. T'i eminent scholar who Hounded tl.u wnrnlns was I'rof. Henry Kdwaid ArniHtronR of the London Central in stitute, bond of the chemical Sertoli of the convention. He went on to s:ay In hlfl carefully prepared paper: "There should he 1,0 question of equnllty raised. When couiparl-oi Is made between complementary factors the question of equality does not end cannot come Into consideration. It Is clear that should the struggle nrise .rr The Newest Peril, and It Is to be feared that it Is com ing upon ub there can be but one Is sue: woman must fall and In falling must carry man with her to de.itruo tlon." Dr. Armstrong declared his faith In the ability of chemistry to solve the problem of life and sex, but found fault with present conditions of socie ty which place no hindrance In the way of the unlit. "Those who presumably are the fit test," he asserted, "are failing to con tribute In proper proportion to the perpetuation of their race. The con dition of affairs to-day affords a most striking exemplification of the slow ness with which civilized nation are learning to appreciate the lessous of science. No problem can compare In Importance with that of the future of our race. "Not only do we encourage deterio ration at the lower end of the scale of Intelligence. We are now, through our system of education, courting fail ure also nt the upper end. Herbert Spencer forcibly drew attention many years ago to the tendency which the development of Individuality must have to depress fertility and to the evil effects of severe mental labor on women especially. "It has been stated that In the Unit ed States of America the higher edu cation of girls has been proved to sterilize them." BUGPROOF POTATO FOUND. Bay State Preacher Claims to Hava Banished Pest.

He said: "The vines of my potatoes have a peculiar odor, which Is offensive to the potato bug. for It never goes near them. I have taken bugs from plants of the usual type In the next row In my potato patch, and put them in my new vines, and in half an hour I can't find one." A BIG MUSHROOM.

The Emperor as a Jack-of All Trades. The following list of Emperor Will iam's accomplishments reminds one strongly of our former strenuous Pres ident. He Is a yachtsman and an eques trian. He can write a song, aud sing or play it most creditably. (Here Is where he scones one on Mr. Roose velt.) He is a lover of games, ex celling at chess and (whisper It) peker. He is a capable artist and knows how to criticise other artists. He is an engineer und an experimenter in electricity. He Is a theologian and has composed a prayer. Ho Is a horse-breeder and keeps a Btud. His literary taste Is considerable, und hia library remarkable. He can command a ship or a regiment, a fleet or an army. He can discuss cookery In every detail and tench editors bow to run their papers. He thrums a guitar musically, speaks five languages flu ently, and can make speeches that fill the world with rumors of war. From Success Magazine. Backing Prayer With Worls. This is an old illustration of the adage "Trust In Cod and keep your powder dry." As told In Ramsey's "Recollections," the experience is attributed to a well-known Scotch di vine. Dr. Maclcod was ou a Hlghlund loch when a storm came on which threat ened serious consequences. The doc tor, a large, powerful man, was ac companied by a clerical friend of di minutive size and small appearance, who began to speak seriously to the boatman of their danger, and pro posed that all present should Join in prayer. "Na, na," said the chief boatman; "let the little ane gang to pray, but first the big ane maun take an oar." Ropes of Human Hair. The egg gatherers of St. Kilda con sider themselves rich if their prospec tive brides are able to furnish them with a rope of human hair. The ropes vary In length, a really good one of forty or fifty feet being especially prized. The usual kind is a stout hempen cord wrapped round and round with sheep's wool; over this is a lining of horsehair; finally strands of human hair. To manufacture such a rope is the work of yeara but the St. Kindan girl scrupulously saves her hair combings. A curiosity collector wished to buy a fine specimen of balr rope, but the $125 offered was refused. The cord in question was veneered with auburn hair-tho thirty yeara col lection from heads of parents, uunU and cousins. Coffee In England. The American opinion of coffee as understood in the English home la not high, and how the coffee of the Eng lish lodgings is esteemed may be un derstood from the following traveler's tale. It was his first morning in Lon don "apartments," and his landlady came up with the breakfast, and as he began the meal opened a alight conversation. "It looks like rain," she said. "It does," replied the American; "but it smells rather like coffee." Helium as for Airships. Helium is the ideal gas for all light-er-than alr airships, said Prof. Erd mann the other day In a lecture In Berlin.

A;tliri:i;h stnnny Marcavich is standing in the shadow of the gal lows with but only a few days more to live, he i the most unconcerned prisoner in the Northumberland county prison, and if he realizes that his end is near at hand be thus far has failed to show it by his actions. Since being placed in the cell from which he will be led to the instrument ot death on the day cif his execution, Stanny has showed no signs of breaking down, but to the contrary retains his cheer ful mood, which is remarkable un der the existing conditions. Kvery day since Sheriff Taby read the death warrant, Stanny has been constantly conversing with the death watch, and his main topic of conversation is baseball. lie keeps up this conversation until nine o'clock in the evening, when he prepares for bed, and his head hardly strikes the pillow until he is soundly sleeping, and his loud and continuous snoring shows that he is not in the least troubled in his sleep. It is not generally known that Marcavich is a natural born baseball player and had a brilliant future in this profession had he be haved himself.

GETTING RID Of CROTON lU'GS. "Is there any w;,y of getting rid of croton bugs?" was a question put to the State Department of Health by a Northampton county man. The question was referred to State Zoologist Surface, who re plied as follows: "Your letter addressed to the State Department of Health, mak ing inquiry as to how to get rid of the croton bug, has been sent to me for reply. I beg to say that there arc several methods ot instituting warfare against this pest. First. You can use a proprietary substance, .sold iu various stores under the name of Roach Paste, which is merely placed where the bugs can find it- Second. You can kill these pests by the use of powdered sugar and plaster of Paris, equal parts. Put the dry powdered mixture where they can get it. Third. Mix one part of arsenical poison with ten parts of powdered sugar, and ten parts of flour. Set where they can eat it. Fourth. Ulow powdered borax into the parts they infest. Fifth. Fumigate with carbon bi sulfide, or hydrocyanic acid gas, and thus kill these as well as all other insect pests in the rooms thus fumigated." CONTROLLING THE SAN JOSE SCALE A Professor of Clark University (Worcester, Mass.) wrote to Pro fessor II. A. Surlace, State Zoolo gist of Pa., as follows: "Will you kindly advise me whether the San Jose scale is being controlled in your State, and, if so, what remedies are being used to destroy it?" The answer of Professor Surlace was as follows: "Replying to ycur recent letter asking if the San Jose scale is being controlled in this state, . I beg to say that this depends upon the man behind the spray rod. We have many striking examples of men who are controlling it in on emi nently satisfactory manner, as well as examples of persons who have not controlled it. It is true that where no spraying is being done for it, or where the wrong materials, such as the soluble oils, or too greatly diluted commercial preparations of any kind, are being used, or where the spraying is not done thoroughly, it is not being controlled. But this does not dis courage our progressive fruit grow ers who know by experience that the Pan Jose scale problem in Penn sylvania is solved by the application of the boiled lime-sulphur wash, cither home-boiled or in the form of the commercial preparation. The latter should not as a rule be dilut ed more than one to eight, instead of one to eleven as the manufactur ers almost universally recommend Our frnit growers have found this year, above all others, that absolute thoroughness is the keyuote to suc cess, and that not a spot or speck of the bark from the most remote twig to the base of the trunk must be left uusprayed. "The fact that it is being con trolled in an eminently successful manner is indicated by the very ex pensive planting that is now goiug on in all the fruit growing sections ot this State. Our fruit growers are taking reuewed courage, and there never has been a year when WHETHER YOU WRITE 50 cr f.0,000 business letters a year, ii pays li pays wellto use a high-grade paper.

The Williamsport Gazette and Bulletin says: Butter prices are tumbling at a more rapid pace than the patrons of the curbstone mar ket realize, although the product of the dairy is being sold by the farmers and hucksters attending the twice-a-week fair at from five to eight cents cheaper per pound than it was a month ago. The in dications are that butter prices will descend still further to the joy ot the housewives and others who are compelled to do the family market ing on Wednesdays and Saturdays. The sellers of butter on the markets are doing their utmost to maintain prices, aud it has been frequently the case that large quantities of butter is carried away from the curbstone market and peddled about the streets during the after noon or carted back to the farm, the dairy or the home of the huck ster. It is during the house-to-house canvass for buyers that the biggest drop iu prices is apparent. Many instances are known where butter has been disposed of as low as twenty-five cents a pound and offers made to sell it at whatever figure could be obtained. Card Signs For Sale.
