Evident Almest from Landing Chil
dren of Sicilians Not So Lono-Head-ed,of
Hebrews Not So Round-headed.
Washington. D. C. Uncle Sam
nulokly makes Amorlcana of the chil
dren o tanxalsranta. Bran what ha to
been deemed th moat enduring racial
haracteriatlcfl are rapidly onaaeed.
So the Immigration Commission
states in a preliminary report present
ed to Congress. The atatomeat la re
gard od as of importance to anthropo
logical eclenco, tor It Indicates the
derelopmeat of a distinct American
type In persons of European descent.
The lnrestigatlon was conducted
chiefly br Prof. Boas of Columbia Uni
versity. Tho Inquiry has beea con
fined so far to New York City and
to Immigrants from Sicily and from
the Bast of Ehtrope and tholr children.
Prof. Boss's measurements go to
show thai TJnclo Sam gets busy at
once to make his chlldron from abroad
as much like his native sons and
daughters as possible. The roport
shows that the amalgamation is most
rapid during the period immediately
following the arrival of the Immi
grants. The difference In type be
tween parents and ohlldron manifests
itself almost immediately after their
arrival hare. Among individuals born
a long time After the arrival of the
parents In Asaeriea the dlSsreaoe fa
increased, bat only slightly as com
pared to the great difference that de
velops at once.
It Is shown that the American born
children of the long-headed StoiUnns
and those of tho round-beaded Bast
European Hebrews have very nearly
the same intermediate head ferm. The
eh 11 Aran of the long-headed Sicilians
aro more round-headed, the children
of the round-headed Hebrews are
more long-headed than tholr parents.
Similar changes are traeed la the de
velopment of the faces of these types.
The commission finds fewer chil
dren are born to these immigrants
after they arrive here than blessed
them In the old country. The children
of Sicilians are not so healthy in New
York as they would be among the isl
and's vineyards and groves. But tho
children of people from Bastorn Eu
rope are far sturdier than thoso who
remain In the Ghettos.
8HOOTS WELL WITH QLA8S EYE.
Sportsman's Instinct Strong Enough
to Kill Rabbits.
Sayvine, L. I. Raymond Stryker
was out gunning whan a rabbit sat up
about fifty yards away In a clump of
puss willows. Btryker, who has been
wearing a glass oye for a couple of
weeks, leveled his gun at the cotton
tail, then shut his good eye and blazed
away. When ho opened the good eye
the rabbit was dead. He did the same
with three other rabbits.
"I am so used to cocking that eye,"
said Stryker when he returned to
town with his bag full of game, "that
I just forgot the other eye was a glass
one. You can take It from me that I
saw those rabbits with my glass eye.
Else how could I havo hit 'em? My
idea Is that tho sight of thoso rabbits
Jumped into the glass eye for a second
or so. Why, I could see them as plain
as day. There's no doubt about It."
" 'Pears to me that 'ere glass eye
gave you a kind of second sight," re
marked Uncle Ike Chichester.
FUR HELMETS NECESSARY.
Alto Automobile Goggles to Officers
on Board Torpedo Boat Destroyer.
Washington, D. C. Officers on
board the torpedo boat destroyer Flus
se whose duties expose them to the
elements, have been equipped with a
fur helment, in which Is placed a pair
of automobile goggles On her trial
trip the Fluaser made about 32 knots
an hour. The fur helmets are neces
sary not only to protect the officers
from the wind and spray but also
from smoke and sparks from the
tunnels, which on this type of vessel
are very short It is probable that
the use of these helmets will be ex
tended to other torpedo boat destroy
era. The riusser Is the swiftest vea-
sol In the navy.

About Diagnosing Troo Ailments.
Many of the requests for Informa
tion in regard to trees and tholr ail
ments that are received by State Zoo
logist H. A. Surface, HarrlBburg, Pa.,
aro not definite enough, and it is dif
ficult to give tho proper remedies in
consequence of not having sufficient
information.
A manufacturer of Hanover, Pa.,
wrote to Professor Surface, inquiring
what, to do for the trees in his gar
den pear. plum, cherry, quince and
apricot, which are suffering, and ap
parently dying. Following is the
Professor's answer, and it will be
well for those intending to write for
information concerning their trees to
observe the Instructions given:
"Replying to your letter as to what
to do for your fruit trees, I beg to
say that tho remedy depends upon
the kind of disease or trouble. I
would strongly suspect thnt 'your
trees are infested with San Jose scale,
but I am not euro of this. Tho scale
attacks all varieties which you men
tion, and it will certainly mako them
look sickly, and whose within a very
few years. If you will send mo some
twigs from your trees, I can examine
them, and if tho trouble be San Jose
scale I can let you know exactly about
this. I can then toll you Just how
and when to treat them. You aro at
liberty to write to tho Orchard In
spector for your county, asking him
to stop and seo your trees at any
time when he is in your neighbor
hood. He will doubtless let you know
when hla business will take him
there.
"It I am passing that way soon, I
can come personally to seo your trees,
but I think the first thing is for you
to send me some of the twigs, and if
they have scale, or any evidence of
plant disease, which can be detected
by an examination of them, I can give
you the diagnosis and outline the
remedy. This will answer the same
purpose as though I, or one of my in
spectors, would take the time to come
and see them. Please be sure to put
your name on or In the package,
which may be sent to mo by mail."
Cost of a Spraying Outfit.
Tho Master of a O ran co. located In
Jefferson county, wrote to Professor
H. A. Surface, the State Zoologist,
Harrisbure. Pa., for information as
to the cost of a spraying outfit. He
mentioned a double-acting sprayer
with 25 feet of hose and a ten-foot
extension nole. as about the kind of
an outfit that the members of his
Grange would want. As different
members had determined to procure
the necessary apparatus for spraying
their trees, the information was re
quested to be given before the next
meetine of the Grance.
The coat of snravlne apparatus is
a question which has agitated quite a
good many farmers, some or. wnom
hn.ve deferred caring for their trees
and permitted thevSan Jose scale to
do great damage, because or tne iaea
that an outfit is expensive. The let
ter of Professor surface, tnereiore,
In reply to the one received from the
Grange, will be ot general interest
HYiltcvwine: la a codv of the letter:
" Replying to your recent letter, I
think you can get a spraying outfit
such as vou mention for about fifteen
or sixteen dollars. I would recom
mend the following as a complete
outfit with the pump: two ix.
sections of hoso (making twenty-five
eeti with hose connections complete:
a 10-foot pole, or extension rod; a
stopcock or shutofr at the pump, ana
nnother between the hose and exten
sion rod; an eighth-turn to go on
the far end of the extension roa; a
"Y" attachment which will carry
two nozzles: and two Rood largo noz
zles of the "Mlstry Jr." or "Friend"
or "Brown" type. I believe tnat tne
upright lever sprayer will prove
satisfactory than the ordinary
barrel pump. It will not cost much
more, and will give higher ana oven-
nr nressnre. with less labor. You
can buy such apparatus from various
firms, as, for instance: xno uouias

A Sensational Roport Shown Up.
Tho sudden death of George Hob-
son at West Grove, Pa., was alleged
to have been due to eating grapes
which wero sprayed with arsenate of
lead, or some other poison. John
Wilson, the grower of the suspected
fruit, insisted that the vines had not
been sprayed at all. Nevertheless,
the report was sent broadcast that
poisoned grapes had caused Hobson's
death.
Prof. H. A. Surface, State Zoolo
gist, Harrlsburg, wrote to tho West
Grovo postmaster, requesting that a
sample of tho suspected fruit be sent
him for analysis, and further stating
that a report like this had a hurtful
effect among fruit growers, as It
tended to check necessary spraying,
which is entirely harmless.
The analysis showed that there
was no cause to attribute Hobson's
death to having eaten grapes which
had been sprayed with an arsenical
poison, and, In reference thereto,
Professor Surface wrote to the post
master at West Grove as follows:
Dear Sir: I beg to Bay that I duly
received the box of grapes which you
sent me, and had them tested by a
chemical expert, and found no trace
of arsenical or other poison present.
I can not bellevo that they were In
jured by poisonous sprays. There
Is nothing whatever to substantiate
the theory. Had there been any
poison present It would have been
there on the grape berries and
stems. Thanking you for your In
terest In this feature, which I con
sider but calumny against the justi
fiable art of spraying, I beg to re
main,
Very truly yours,

Economic Zoologist.
