T1IE CITIZEN, FK1DAY, JUIA 22, 1010. call fok thihd iaiiti Document la Out, With 81 Signa tures Conrcntlon July 28. , Tho offlcial call for tho lndepend dent party state convention to bo held In Philadelphia Thursday, July 28, was Issued Sunday nnd at tached to It arc tho names of SI citizens. After the great heralding of tho alleged strength and popularity of this movement, a glance over tho list of names appended to the docu ment made public Sunday must prove disappointing to those who ex pected to find an imposing array of prominent and Influential Pennsyl vanlans Identified with tho cause. Such an aggregation of profession al political agitators, former office holders, rejected or disappointed place hunters, and habitual notoriety seekers with a few well meaning, easy-going cash producers for any old thing that is labeled "reform" has raroly been presented to tho voters of tho commonwealth. Familiar high-sounding platitudes, such as have been employed in the various anti-Republican campnlgns In Philadelphia and this state during the last twenty-five years, ring throughout the address to "the Free men of Pennsylvania" nnd recall many previous efforts in the same direction with which not a few of tho gentlemen whose names are now exploited were conspicuously Identi fied. Behind this stage setting of the leaders in tho movement will be found the same old tactics, the same old methods and tho samo old ma chinery of political adventurers, who will frame up tho slate of candidates for tho convention nnd put it through, If possible, with -characteristic disregard for criticism of boss ism or "gang rule," which they so vehemently and persistently employ In condemning the men who domi nate the affairs of other party or ganizations. There Is not a syllable In the ad dress giving sincere men who are looking to the new party to accom plish reform of real or Imagined evil an Inkling as to how they can figure in the convention or as to the Ism or "gang rule" which they so em tho election of delegates to the proposed gathering. 'Who'll Hun For Governor of Jfcw York State? Despite the fact that the state conventions of the big political par ties will not be held until late Sep tember, 1C candidates for the gub ernatorial nomination In the Demo cratic and Republican parties are either In the field personally or their friends are active in their behalf. Col. Roosevelt at Sagamore Hill has been asked to "O. K." the eligibles in his party, but so far is under stood to have refrained from ex pressing a preference. The names submitted to hltn include William Loeb, Jr., collector of the port of New York; James Wadsworth, Jr., speaker of the state assembly; Wil liam S. Bonnet, member of congress; Henry L. Stimson, attorney and pros ecutor of the sugar trust; Horace White, lieutenant-governor, who will succeed Gov. Hughes when he re signs in September; William Hotch kiss, state superintendent of Insur ance; Clark Williams, state comp troller, and William R. Willcox, pub lic service commissioner. The Democratic eligibles now seek ing support upstate and from Tam many include William Sulzer, con gressman and runner-up for the nom ination at tho last two state con ventions; Thomas M. Osborne, for mer public service commissioner and gold Democrat In 189C; Edward Morse Shepard of Brooklyn, attor ney and Democratic candidate for mayor against Seth Low In 1901; James S. Havens, a Rochester Con gressman, who defeated George W. Aldrldge In a supposedly solid Re publican district; Martin H. Glynn, former state controller and news paper editor; John S. Whalen, for mer secretary of state; L. P. Fuhr raann, mayor of Buffalo, and Wil liam J. Gaynor, mayor of New York. Delaware River Jersey Town Wants Postal Savings Hunk. Postmaster John W. Davis of Bur lington, N. J., doesn't believe In put ting off important business until tho eleventh hour. Tho fact that he was one of the llrst men In the country to apply to the government to have his postolllco selected as a postal saving bank, under tho new law enacted by Congress, is evidence of his adopted policy of "striking while the Iron's hot." Long ago ho noticed that foreign laborers employed In tho town and vicinity wore sending back to the old country hundreds und thousands of perfectly good American dollars an nually. And as a rulo, tho foreign money orders out of Burlington alono would net $1000 a week. Farmers, many of them, he ob served, were still dubious about placing their hard-earned cash in local banking Institutions, and wero resorting to tho family money chest or to the antiquated idea of burying the dollars somowhero they Imagined would bo "safe." They had heard too much about the banks being looted by trusted clerks nnd em ployes, who had proved thomselves untrustworthy. The postal savings bank met these two propositions, In tho estimation of Postmaster Davis. And when tho law was passed ho said ho waB of the opinion that much of tho mon ey that had been going across tho Atlantic at regular intervals and in increasing largo amounts could bo kept hero In tho United States. Tho farmers, too, ho suggested, might put moro confidence In Undo Sam, and patrontzo tho postal savings bank. Burlington letter to Doylcs town Intelligencer. ABOUT THOSE FREE BRIDGES. Expcnso of Repair nnd Maintenance to bo Borne by State. A story Is being circulated In this county, probably for political effect, that In tho event of the state buying tho bridges and mnklng them free tho burden of their repnlr and main tenance will bo placed on tho coun ties In which they nre, says tho Mll ford Press. Mr. Mnrvin, who Is chairman of the commission in Pennsylvania, says there is absolutely no truth In the story, that the bill which he Is preparing will provide for nil ex pense In connection with free bridges being borno by the states. With some few exceptions nlong tho Del aware tho bridges pay small divid ends to stockholders, and they aro at best risky property. In tho case of Mllford bridge, af ter the one wns carried away In 8S8 it became a grave question whether a new bridge could be built, but the great inconvenience and ser ious loss of trade was incentivo to a number to rebuild. A debt was in curred and the stockholders waited for 10 years, while the receipts were being used to pay oft the debt, before they received a dividend. There was more sentiment than prolit In the venture, but It was real ized that the town and citizens of New Jersey wero suffering loss In business because of its absence. It benefits the whole county, as does the one at DIngmans, which Is also financially unproductive, nnd even If the adjoining counties had to bear some share of the cost of maintain ing them the people could well af ford to do so for the sake of the accommodation they afford. ABOUT CANKER WORMS? SUite Zoologist Examines Apple Twigs From Mercer and Reports. A Mercer county fruit grower has -written State Zoologist H. A. Sur face that there appears to be some thing wrong with his 100 12-year old apple trees and encloses speci mens for examination and informa tion as to the trouble and remedy. The professor replied: "The apple twigs sent are infested with the fall canker worm. The eggs aro just hatching. This is tho fellow that, as it becomes larger, is known as the looper, span worm and measuring worm. There is only one thing to do now, and that is to spray all the infested trees with an arsenical pois on. Use either one-third pound of parls green or two or three pounds of arsenate of lead In fifty gallons of water. As this is about the right time for one of the sprayings (or the codling moth, you will not lose any thing by making the application of the poison at this time. It will In sure the destruction of this pest, which otherwise might destroy your leaves and fruit crop for this year, and will also help to Insure fruits free from the 'worm,' commonly known as tho codling moth. "It is also advisable to make up tho Bordeaux mixture by using three pounds of copper sulphate and four pounds of lime In fifty gallons of wa ter, and add your arsenical poison to this the same as though you were going to use it alone. TIiub you will have a spray that will not only kill the young canker worm and the codling moth larva, but will also prevent plant diseases which might otherwise attack leaves and fruits of your trees. "It is very Important that your spraying for this pest bo done soon. I would advise you to prepare to mako the application Just as soon as possible, as this will help you to prevent the severe destruction of leaves, which will mean a loss of fruit for this year, and a drainage upon the vitality of tho tree, so that it will not set good fruit buds for next year. Prompt action Is one of tho most Important points in the de struction of the canker worm." Carving the Grand Canon. The popular idea that earthquake and volcanic explosions plnyed a part in farming tho Grand Canon of the Colorado River is thougbt'by Uio host Authorities to bo without foundation. W aro now told tliat tho canon was cut out entirely by tho water ot tho river, and that the moat effective tool employed was tho quartz sand brought down from the HourcoB of tho river in tho mountains. This Bond Is harder than any of tho constituents of tho rock strata in which the canon has boon carved. Ilarlod by tho swift water against Uw sides and tho bed of the stream, it cuts the rod as eas ily as a flia cuts do ft iron. The Electrio Railway. Perhaps tho earliest hint of tho electric railway waa that given by tho Veianont blacksmith, Thomas Daven port, who In 1835 exhlbltod in Spring field. Masa, tho model of a circular railway and an electro-magnetic loco motive. Tho first practical trip made by a motor car In this country waa that given by Dr. Charles Grafton Pago in 1851. Aidod by an appropri ation from Cangrcea, he constructed an electric locomotive with which a trip was made from Washington to Bladonsburg. on tho Washington branch of tho Baltimore & Ohio Rail road, on April 29, 1851, on which oc casion a rote of speed was attained, on a noorly level plane, of somo nine teen miles an hour. WEIGHT OF THE DRAIN. Difference Between Savages and Races Long Civilized. Prof. Frederick W. Mott, lecturing before tho Royal Institution of Great Britain on "The Brain," said that al though In 88 per cent, of the cases In which the brains of great men had been weighed the weight was above tho average, brain weight itself did uot always mean brain qunllty. When thero was lack of tho func tionating tissue, the lecturer explain ed, tho structural material might re ceive moro than Its normal sharo of nourishment nnd the extra weight bo due to overgrowth of "brain scaffold ing." This accounted for tho very large and heavy brains sometimes found In congenital idiots. Pointing out that tho brain weight of a raco long civilized surpassed that of aborigines, the lecturer stated that whereas tho ordinary European hospi tal patient had n heavier brain thnn a savage, tho Chlneso coolie laborer's brain, developed by centuries of Use, weighed 1 1-2 ounces more than of the European hospital patient. Referring to the relatlvo brain weights of Caucaslon men and wom en, Prof. Mott said that the female brain had a good start, weighing near ly 1 1-2 ounces more than the malo brain at blrtli. In adult lift however, the average man's brain weighed about 5 1-2 ounces more than tho woman's. Tho average weight of tho Euro pean male brain was 2 pounds 15 ounces 9 drams to 2 pounds 10 ounces 9 drams and of tlio female brain 2 pounds 10 ouncea 11 drams to 2 pounds 10 ounces 14 drams. Among savages there wns not this difference, since In the struggle for existence tho female had to apply her brain as fully as the male, henee It has developed at practically the same rate. Utilizing Volcanic Steam. An Italian engineer, Signor Glnorl Contl, has put Into practice the curi ous idea of utilizing the steamjets from the natural vents called sufllonl for driving motors. Sufllonl abound In certain parts of Tuscany, and In other ancient seats of volcanic energy. Jets of water vapor, at a high temper ature, are discharged from them with great regularity. Some of the sufll onl In Tuscany, according to Signor Glnori-Contl, have remained Invaria ble In their discharges during 15 years that they have been under ob servation. He thinks that a consider able amount of mechanical energy can be derived from these Eources. One of the principal difficulties In the utilization of this natural steam arises from tho corroding acids that abound in it The Useful Rat. From letters received It would seem posstble to make out quite a good case for the rat. Not only has he served as food Dr. Kane on his Polar expedition attributed his com parative Immunity from scurvy to tho soup made from the rats which his servant shot with a bow and arrow but Mr. Frank Buckland has suggest ed that their skins are eminently suit able for glove-making. At any rate, rat-skins have sometimes been ueed as clothing, for we read of a lady at Glasgow who had a pair of shoes from rat-skins, which were as soft as the finest kid, while by way of a freak a complete suit of rat-skin was once made by a Cornish miner. The Jamaica Firefly. The Jamaica firefly, a species over an Inch In length, emits a very bril liant light, which comes from the sides of tho head and beneath the thorax. The light Is a fluctuating one and not the steady glow of the glowworm. A very remarkable fact Is that this fluc tuating or pulsating light may con tinue after the death of the animal. If we Buppose that tho light of the liv ing Insect Is due to oxygen supplied under Us control to the luminous mat ter wo may conclude that after death the oxygen of tho air might obtain ac cess to It and produoe a like effect It is difficult, however, to account for the pulsations In the light of the dead firefly. Camels for America. Plans are being made to import a herd of camels for use In the mining regions of Nevada, and the Death Valley region of California. They will be used to transport tho ore through the desert region to the smelting mills. It Is believed the camels will thrive In the rugion nnd their usefulness to the mining people will bo best understood when it is considered the average camel will shamble off at a forty-mlks a day gait with 600 pounds on his hump, ent sago bush for his supper, and go with out a drink for seventeen days. The Doctor's Data. A Howard (Kans.) girl who was uncertain as to her exact ago, as her father and mother were not agreed on tho year of her birth, decided to go to the physician who "attended ilvo caso." He said: "Why, certainly, my dear girl. I'll go and oxamlno my old books." When he camo back to report he said: "I Und your father chnrgod with n girl baby born on the steenth day of April, 18 , and I also observo he still owes mo for you." Yankee Trade Abroad. Tho conservatism of 'Austria-Hungary is a proverb, but Yankoo inven tion and enterprise have boon able to break through tho old lines to a sur prising degree. In the groat Bohemia Moravia Machine Works in Prague, ot the 520 machine tools In service throughout tho various department and slkops, 102 are of American origin When wo really get down to it w shall be selling to all the word. Tree-Culture In English 8choole. In an effort to stimulate the local fruit Industry In tho county of Suf folk, England, the East Suffolk Educa tion Committee has Instituted n sys tem of establishing npple-treo nurs eries In connection with the custom ary school gardens. A competent In structor has been engaged to visit tho different schoolB, and many of tho children nre now as export In the art of grafting nnd budding ns a veteran horticulturist. Only a nomlnnl price Is charged for these apple trees, and the villagers Immediately rocognlzed the opportun ity that awaited thorn and have been eager to purchase the entire supply. A number of orchards have been es tablished, and In a single town more than five hundred of these trees havo been transplanted. Canon Abbny, the head of the pro gressive and successful Frnmllngham Agricultural Co-operative Society, Is enthusiastic over the efforts made to restore to prominence the fruit Indus try nnd Is superintending tho work. Nearly three thousand of the young trees aro now In stock, and a thousand more aro to be produced this year. St. Elmo'G Fire. St Elmo's liro Is a name popularly given to a luminous appearance, some times seen on dark :nd stormy nights at tho masthead nnd yardarms of vessels, and also on land at tho top of church spires and trees and even on horses' manes nnd about human heads. It Is due to tho presence of electricity, generally at elevated points, whore It accumulates more rapidly than It can be discharged, and Is named after St Elmo, the patron saint of sailors.
