Facte Ahout Balloons.
No balloon has ever remained in
the air more than fifty-four hours at
one time, as far as Is known.
Neither has any air craft of this
kind ever traveled mote than 1,000
miles without stopping.
No person has evur been lifted
more than seven miles above tho
earth's surface in a balloon.
Unmanned ballous have attained a
height of fifteen uiilos above the earth.
One of the greatest dangers of a
lifph ascent Is the changing density
of the atmosphere.

Is not necessarily n fatal accident.
Every balloon Is provided with a "rip

Scottish Shepherd's Dancing Cure.
A curious Highland remedy was the
dancing cure as it was practiced many
yonrs ago in Strathspey. A Highland
shepherd, one Donald McAlpln, a fa
mous dancer, was reputed to have
cured his mistress of a mysterious
nialidy by means of dancing n reel
with her. and this story being noised
abroad gained him the reputation of
being a successful physician. His
humble cottage, overlooking Strath
spey, was besieged with crowds of
patients who hoped to get rid of their
alln ents by a dance with Donald. The
shepherd did not hesitate to take ad
vantage of This stroke of good luck
and toon hnd a large and thriving
practice. He engaged as assistant an
ancient piper, who did the duties of
apothecary, and the two between
them evolved a course of treatment

Music as an Anaesthetic.
A phyaicinn of Geneva, In Switzer
land, has successfully employed music
to soothe and tranquillize the dreams
of persons who have taken ether or
chloroform In order to undergo surgi
cal operations.
The music is begun as soon as the
anaesthetic begins to take effect, and
is continued until the patient wakes.
It Is said that not only does this treat
ment prevent the hysterical effects
sometimes witnessed but that tho pa
tient on recovering feels no nausea
or Illness.
Another physician uses blue light
to produce nnaethesia. The light
from a sixteen candle-power electric
lamp, furnished with a blue bulb, Is
concentrated upon tho patient's eyes,
but the bond and the lamp are en
veloped in a blue veil to shut out ex
traneous light. Insensibility U pro

Humor and Morality.
We have extirpated gross humor
from our modern literature: but we
must not suppose that we are there

whose literature was full of grosB

other. This kind of fear Is destruc

IMUNINfi AS TO
INDIVIDUAL Niacins.
1 The owner of a poach orchard of
several thousand trees, situated near
Pittsburg, wrote to Professor H. A.
, Surface, Stnto Zoologist, Harris-
1 burg, In regard to pruning. Hu
said:
"In pruning our Iron Mountniii
, trees, we Hnd, so many different con-
dltlons thnl wo aro pruning each In
j dividual tree about as wo think It
i will bear. Wo aro cutting all back
j pretty close, possibly too close for
, tho next crop; that Is, where a tree
! Is apparently In thrifty condition,
wo aro cutting the top limbs back
I about one-half, without regard to
! 'st year's growth. We aro also
opening up tho Inside or tho trees,
and spreading out the side branches.
These trees wero allowed to grow
too high.
"Also, In regard to the Bray's
Rareripes, which you advised mo In
a former letter to cut back closely,
with the viow of forming now tops.
Do you mean that the entire block
should bo cut back closely, or be
worked out by cutting a portion each
year for two or three years?"
The answer or Prof. Surface, In
regard to the above, was as fol
lows: "Your idea of distinct attention
to each individual tree, according to
lt3 needs, is the only one that can
be correct. We must tnku to work
ing at our trees as a stockmnn works
nt Ills stock, with a view to tho in-
uiviciuai needa oi each, it may be
that cutting back the top of a very
healthy tree as much as one-hair Is
not too much. Of course. If this In
volves the cutting oil of last year's
growth, it means, the removal of
many fruit buds some of which may
be needed tor tills year's bearing.
As you know, these fruit buds are
on only the growth of last season.
If there be not many fruit buds that
are healthy, this is the time to do the
cutting back and force new and heal
thy growth next summer, which will
bear well the following summer.
"In pruning your Rareripes, one
or two systems should be kept in
mind, one of which is complete top
ping for immediate renewal, and tho
other is partial topping each year,
with partial annual renewal. To
the uiu-killed person, or one who
would not give them constant and
proper attention, I would recom
mend the former method, but for you
.(and for myself if they wero my
trees) I should recommend and em
ploy the second method."
TREAT.MlXXT FOR
WOOLLY APHIS.
. Specimens of Hie AVoolly Aphis
came by mail to State Zoologist H.
A. Surface from Connellsville, Pn
and a letter was received In refer
ence thereto, the writer saying that
these Insects have been cnuslng him
more trouble than anything else, a
number of young apple trees having
been attneked.
Professor Surface, in telling how
to deal with the pests, wrote:
"These Insects, which resemble
little tufts of cotton, may especially
bo found where the bark Is thin,
owing to some injury or to attempts
at overgrowing pruned stubs, as also
upon the roots. They cause knots
and deformities which prevent the ' programme In the afternoon and the
ready flow of tho sap, and it is ad- same old supper at night. In the oven

on both the bark and tho roots. ' tho same old wife, and we watch the
"They may occur upon the trunk I same old neighbors and they watch
and branches without being present I us. AVe have good health, I have a
on tho roots, or upon tho latter
without being found on the former,
or upon all simultaneously. When
present on tho roots it Is best to kill
them by removing the soli from
around the roots, and dosing the
pests with a vory strong tobacco de
coction, or covering them with iinely
ground tobacco, then replacing the
earth to tho normal level. Tobacco
stems alone will not do for this pur
pose. It should bo tobacco dust.
This material is worth considerable
for Its fertilizing property, and,
therefore, you will bo well paid in
using It at the roots of the trees.
"Where the pests occur on the
bark, trunk, or branches, they can
be killed by spraying or wnshlng'
them with any of the contract sprays '
j that kill San Joso Scale. If you aro
I spraying for scale Insects of any
I kind treat the Woolly Aphis with
I the same material. It is important
to blow the spray liquid well Into
I the erncks which they infest. If
you nro not spraying, you can uso a
paint brush and cover them and the
spots Infested by them with a good,
strong lnsectlolde. Ono of the best
things to apply is regular oil paint
made with raw linseed oil and pure
white lend, just as for house paint.
Apply it with a paint brush, daubing
In or pushing it well Into tho in
jured pnrtB of tho bark. This not
only kills the pests but It makes
their hiding places unsatisfactory
for tho abode of othor Insects."
LIME-SULPHUR WILL NOT
IMPAIR IRON KETTLES.
In reply to a Perry county farmer,
who wrote to Prof. Surface, inquir
ing whether nn iron kettlo will be

Niagara Falls.
So far as our present knowledge
goes, the earliest printed reference to
the great cataract is In the record of
a voyage by the celebrated Jacques
Carrtler in 153a. Its position was first 1
mentioned by Champlaln in a map at-
tached to his voyages, published in
1613. The earliest description of tho i
falls is that of Father Hennepin, who
visited them in 1678. His account' was
published with a sketch giving a full
view of the cataract. The name
"Niagara" means "thuuder of waters,"
and was given It by the Indians. It
is impossible to answer the query
concerning the age of Niagara Falls.
Opinions differ, some placing It at
500 000 years, others as low as 20,000
years. The laiger figure Is probably
nearer the truth.
The Same Old Story.
"Permit me to use your shoulder
for a Walling Place." says a letter in
the Globe's mall to day. "In the morn
ing I arise at Uie same old time, go
to work, do the same old work all
morning, and return at noon to the
came old lunch. It is tho same old
fair income, we hava had no great
misfortune, but with all this to be
thankful for, this monotomy la killing
me. Can you suggest a remedy!
Are there no wise men who can com'
pound Contentment Pit's?"
