DISEASE OF CHESTNUT TREES. Within the past few years an en tirely now disease of tho common chestnut tree has appeared. It is evidently spreading In all directions from the neighborhood of New York city where It was first observed. On Long Island, Southern Connecticut and Northern New Jcrsoy It hns proved so virulent that nearly nil the chestnut trees are affected, and many of them havo already died. in Pennsylvania It Is quite abund ant throughout tho eastern counties, bat In the central and western por tions of tho state It Is still either lacking or but sparingly distributed. Like nil other plant diseases It doubtless has Its limitations and it is not likely that It will thrive in all sections where tho chestnut tree grows, it is not unlikely that it may have already nearly reached the limit of Its extension. However, that may be, it is well worth the attention of all who have chestnut trees or timber. A strong effort should be made to arrest the progress of the disease so soon as It appears. This is not specially dif ficult; and now, before the leaves fall, Is the time to do It. When a tree is attacked and becomes infect ed the fungus rapidly spreads In the bark and growing wood of twigs and branches. It progresses so fast that these parts In larger or smaller patches are soon disorganized, killed and somewhat shrunken. The leaves which depend upon these parts for their water and food sup ply wither and shrivel, but do not fall. These twigs or branches with their attached dead leaves are very plainly seen in contrast with tho na tural ones and mark the presenco of this particular disease. Of course, branches may die from other causes. particularly attacks of boring in sects, and mechanical breakage, but the difference is not difficult to de tect. If during the next six weeks a careful examination is made for this disease, particularly west of tho Susquehanna, and in sections not yet known to be infected, It Is prob able that It can be arrested or even entirely prevented. Affected limbs should be cut off well below the dead wood and burn ed. Any trees, the trunks of which are diseased should be cut down and the bark and branches burned The wood could be used for any purpose desired; It will not spread the disease. While the State Forestry Depart ment Is personally directing work of this kind It behooves every Individu al to exert himself immediately, and co-operate for the common good. Within the sections named complete control or destruction of this chest nut disease seem assured if proper effort is made. We are now showing the largest line of Oak Heaters in Honesdale.

Tho reporter gets a Wall street tip and goes to his chief for money with which to back his belief, giv ing Peyton his promise that If his plunge falls, ho will reimburse him by bringing In tho biggest newspa per "beat" New York lias known for years.
