THE CITI7.K.N, WEDNESDAY, NOV. , 1010. (Jrnln Weevil Aliundant. There has been considerable In quiry, at the ofllco of tho Division of Zoology, ot tho Department of Agriculture Harrlsburg, I'n., for In formation concerning tho destruction of weevil In grain. To one of tho numerous Inquirers, Prof. II. A. Surface, State Zoologist, replied as follows: "Your Inquiry concerning tho de destruction of weevil In wheat coinos at a very opportune time, because It Is easy to destroy those pests when one knows bow, and it Is very Im portant that they bo destroyed now rather than in the spring after they bavo accomplished a great deal od damage. "Tho weevil Is among tho worst pests in grain bins or stored grain, and effects tho destruction of hun dreds of thousands of dollars annu ally In tho state of Pennsylvania alone. It must not be presumed for a minute, however, that It or any other pest Is any worse In this state than elsewhere. It lives by laying eggs In tho grains, and from these eggs hatch larvae or minute grubs, which feed within the seeds, exca vating them to merely hollow shells of bran. The presenco of many of the larvae feeding at once often causes tho grain to heat by their mechanical irritation or gnawing, just as two sticks nro heated by rub bing them together. When grain becomes warm in tho bin, it is often to bo taken as an Indication of the presence of weevil or the Angou mois Grain Moth, which Is a moth whoso larvae have similar habits, and it Is likewise a very serious pest of stored grain in this part of the country. "Tho remedy consists of putting the infested grain into a bin that can be so tightly closed as to be almost, If not practically, air-tight, or put ting it into a large box, hogshead, or some other vessel, which can be; thoroughly covered. Then set shal low vessels like pie tins on the grain, and for each one hundred cubic feet of space, or for each one hundred bushels of grain, pour Into the pie tins a pound of the liquid known as carbon bisulfide. Lay sticks over the plo tins containing the carbon bisulfide, and spread over them wet blankets. Heavy blankets should be used for this purpose. They are dipped into water to make them moro nearly air-tight, to keep down the gases or fumes from the carbon bisulfide. This liquid Is a foul-smelling liquid, whoso fumes are poisonous but not Instantly dead ly. Ono can breathe it without im mediate Injury, although It la very offensive. These fumes are inflam mable or explosive, the same as those of benzine or gasoline, and, consequently, fire should be kept away from them. Two or three thicknesses of wet blankets laid over the top of the grain will bo sufficient to keep the fumes down, and prevent ventilation until the pests are kill ed. These fumes are heavier than air, and will fall down through the grain, killing all Insects and even mice should such be present, In tho bin or granary. They will not de stroy tho milling property of the wheat nor Its germinating powers for seeding. This Is the proper time of year to treat the wheat, and thus prevent the loss which will come from carrying It In an Infested con dition In the bin during the fall, win ter and spring. "Let it remain covered for some hours, and there will be no danger from letting it remain many hours, or even two or three days thus cov ered. After at least five or six hours or more, the covers can be re moved, and hung to dry, although no special ventilation of the grain bin or vessel Is necessary. The chief point Is, to avoid breathing the fumes any moro than one Is com pelled to do, and keep fire away from them. "Concerning your particular case, there is a little more to be added. Treat your last year's wheat In the granary thoroughly by this fumiga tion, and kill tho pests, and you will not be obliged to remove it, or if you wish to remove it to store somewhere else, you can do this with the full knowledge that the pests will not be present, and be passed from It to tho newly thresh ed wheat. If, however, you do not Intend to treat it, you should get rid of it at once. Clean It up and sell It, or otherwise get It out of the granary, and away from the building where you intend to store your un tbreshed wheat. "I would not recommend putting the wheat In old bins in which there Is a little old wheat left. Sweep out these bins, dust them down, and roast tho sweepings In an oven to kill tho Insects. Then feed the grain to the chickens. After tho bin is cleaned and swept, you can store the new grain In It, but, as said above, In order to kill the pests that may even now be In the grain, I would recommend fumigating with tho carbon blsulfldo, after this is placed in the bin." Washing Soda Docs Not Improve Lime-Sulphur Solution. A correspondent recently wrote as follows to Prof. H. A. Surface, state zoologist, Harrlsburg, Pa.: "In making Lime-sulphur 17-22-50, would it Injure trees for mo to add 4 pounds of washing soda to this? How would I dilute this for summer spraying?" The state zoologist replied as fol lows: "I must say that I am not certain to what extent trees would bo In jured by adding four pounds of washing soda to tho 17-22-00 formula. In my experiments a fow years ugo, 1 killed the twigs and destroyed the fruit buds, and, of course, severely Injured tho trees, by using eight pounds of caustic soda In the 17-22-50 formula. Tho wash ing soda is as had as tho caustic soda which I used, but it does not appear to mo that it is necessary to add anything to tho 17-22-50 formula to muko It efficient In killing tho scale flud destroying plant disease gorms. "1 suspect that If you add tho four pounds of soda, It will Injure tho fruit buds if applied shortly af ter tho leaves drop in tho fall. At tho same time I bellevo It will bo safe It applied when the buds aro swelling In tho spring.

SCHOOL TEACH Kit FINED $30. Convicted of Whipping a 7-Ycar-Old Hoy Pupil With a Itawlilde. Recorder A. C. N. Thompson, of Mlddletown, on Wednesday found Ja- oez v. .Mullison, a school tencher of that city, guilty of cruelly beating one or Ills seven-year-old pupils and lined him 30. Mullison was ar rested on the chargo of assault In the third degree, for whipping Jas. Manzo, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Manzo. A rawhide was exhibited In court as the instrument with which Mullison Inflicted punishment on sev eral pupils on Monday when there was severe trouble In the truant school of which Mullison Is teacher. It Is said one of the pupils took a rat to school and turned it loose In tho school room. Another boy set fire to the hair of one of the pupils and a third Jabbed a schoolmate with a rusty file. Mullison has taught the school for years. He is an old teacher and a good disciplin arian. This conduct was more than he could stand and he proceeded to conquer the obstreperous youngsters with his whip. In court the Manzo boy exhibited severe welts on his back which had caused the blood to run. Mullison contended that he had done nothing wrong and would have done the same tiling by his own son under similar circumstances. He said the Manzo boy was one of the worst he ever knew. Some years ago Mullison was arrested for severely whipping one of his pupils and fined $30. An other warrant has been issued charg ing Mullison with whipping a ten-year-old boy on Monday, but It is not believed the case will be pressed. Besides being In charge of the tru ant school Mullison has been for some time city sealer of weights and measures. "WHEN IS AN AFFINITY" AFFINITY?" AN Mrs. Van lluskird Says Husband Mndo Her Jtctlrc at O p. in. Harrlsburg, Pa. An affinity is an affinity even though it have a wood en leg. One of the witnesses in a divorce case heard by Additional Law Judge McCarrell at Harrlsburg last week told of the cork-legged soul mate that figured In the appeal Samuel Duncan made for divorce from his wife. "Mrs. Duncan told me one time that she didn't care about Sam any more; that she hud found another fella' she loved more. She said she was havln' it good now better than when she was a hired girl. Besides that she says she can have a new hog every year If she wants It now her new man '11 buy It for her. And then she told me something else " The witness half hesitated and was jogged along by Duncan's attor ney. "Well, the only other reason she gave for leaving Sam was that she didn't love him any moro and loved her new man, even," stammered the witness, blushing, "oven though ho has got a wooden leg!" Duncan, who sat close by was nervous throughout the trial and ad mitted it. Onco he interrupted a witness to suggest a date in spite of tho caution of his attorney. "Will you please shut up?" ad vised the attorney. "Well, I happened to know that date-" "You have had your opportunity to testify," suggested Judge McCar rell. "I know, Judge," explained Dun can, smiling nervously. "I need a rest. I'm all worked up. I guess I'm sort o' aggravatln'." To lied ut O 1. M. Another divorce bearing was the appeal of Mrs. Thomas Van Iius klrk. Her husband not only cruelly treated her, but finally deserted ier, she said. "Ho was a railroader," explained the girlish-looking wife, "and when ho used to go out on tho road at C o'clock ho used to make mo go right to bed." "You mean to say that your hus band required you to go to bed at C o'clock?" Inquired Judgo McCarrell. "Some times he'd mako it 5 o'clock," replied the wlfo naively, "if he was ordered out on tho road at that tlmo." Just to tease her Van Dusklrk in sisted upon feeding their small baby whiskey, Mrs. Van Dusklrk declared furtively, dabbing at her eyes with a bit of handkerchief.

Ho was sitting on his broomstick and waving at tho crowd below. "Ha, ha! I'm flying away, messieurs; why don't you catch me?" he shouted. Unfortunately for Dupre there was scarcely any air currents nnd for more than a minute the rude balloon slowly spun around, never passing beyond the walls. Officials of the in stitution marvelled at the strange af fair, which was of many colors. It was about fifteen feet In dlametor and very ragged at the seanu. Finally the head guard went to the hospital roof. "Let the air out of that and come down or we'll shoot," ho cried. Dupro was becoming llus- tered at his failure to soar higher. In about three minutes the balloon was much lower. It was dropping slow ly. When the balloon reached the ground two guards seized Dupre and hurried him to a cell. After Dupre had been calmed he explained how he had made the bal loon. "I used to fly at the country fairs before I got hurt on my head," he said. "I've been trying to get out of this place, and one day I happen ed to think that possibly I could make a balloon. So I stole little scraps of silk In the tailor shop and sewed them together. When it was all done I dipped tho thing In a wax mixture that made It almost air tight." PUTS SUCCESS IN DRAINS. Patent Office Aero Expert Says They Count Moro Than Machine. Multifarious as are the new de vices being applied to the navigation of the air, none has been or is likely 10 oe lounci to tako tho place of brains in tho aviator. This is the opinion of James H. Colwell, the Patent Office expert at Washington, who has immediate charge of all flying machine inven tions and who has given personal at tention to almost every application tor a patent in that line. Summing up his views to-day, he said: "Ten per cent, of the success of every aerial flight is due to the ma chine, 15 per cent, to tho motor and 75 per cent, to the man. The man of indecision, poor judgment, weak nerves or slow Judgment is as much out of place In an airship as a de fective motor." Airship invention has received a stirring Impetus within the last few years, and there Is no moro reliable index to this activity than that dis played by tho records of tho United Stntes Patent Office. It began with tho first exhibitions of the Wright Brothers on the North Carolina coast, and has increased in geomet ric ratio since that time, with the consequence that up to date about .i.uuu patents have been Issued on theso machines themselves or on do vices connected with them. Tho bureau at Washlncton Ik now handling an nverage of about ninety cases a month. Tho work is con ducted in the division of the office which gives especial attention to in ventions having to do with army ord nance and marine propulsion. Im portant as are those branches, more than half of tho forco is engaged up on the air machine portion of tho work. Inventions looking to tho use of tho airship in time of war aro also pouring Into tho office, as are count er Inventions which contemplate pro tection against them. As tho Patent Office views the situation, tho diffi culty in using the neroplane for dropping projectiles is found in the uncertainty which must necessarily accompany such effort. With a ma chine going from 50 to 75 miles an hour, as most of them do, It is ex tremely difficult to drop a projectile so as to Insure its striking tho mark, even though tho mark may bo a bat tleship or an extensive fortification. Illumlcr Makes People Hesitate. Tho singular blunder of William H. Berry's administration of the State Treasury In sending a big, fat check to a bank which had been closed five months before has caus ed people to laugh and others to stop and wonder what kind of a man ho would bo at tho head of stato affairs. Tho Pittsburg Gnzetto-Times says of tho romarkablo transaction: "Knowledge of tho occurrenco has chagrined tho Berry followers In Lewrenco county. It has set nil that section to laughing. Tho vot ers aro asking whether a man of such haphazard mothods whero the peoplo's money Is concerned Is enp able of occupying tho highest offico In tho gift of tho peoplo of Pennsyl vania. "District Attorney Thomas W. Dickey, of Lawrence county, Bald of Berry's blundor: 'It was a most amazing proceeding on tho part of Berry. FIvo months after the In stitution wont Into the hnnds of a receiver along camo that largo de posit from the Stato Treasurer. Carelessness Is hardly tho word to bo applied In reference to tho mat ter.' " Tho looso business stnndnrdB of tlorry nro best described by Attor ney John II. Palntor, receiver of tho Now Cnstlo Savings and Trust Com pany. "A number of onuses led up to the failure of tho bank," he Bald. "Prominent nmong them was the Inability of tho bank to realize quick ly upon securities when pressed for funds. Tho doors were closed about February 9, 1907. For a time the Stnto bank examiner ncted as tem porary receiver, and later I was ap pointed receiver by Judgo Ktinkol, sitting In the Dauphin county court, Hnrrlnburg. "Along In July I received a check from Berry for $25,000 as a deposit for tho Institution. It certainly stumped me. The bnnk was Insol vent, yet the Stnte of Pennsylvania, through the Stnto Treasurer, mndo a deposit of $25,000. "Although tho Incident nmnzed mo very much, I nlso had to laugh. I never said nnythlng about the mat ter, but put the check In n safe and waited for developments. Three months afterward, or about nine months after the bank failed, some person realized the blunder that had been mndo and wrote me, request ing the return of tho check. I Im mediately sent It back." SUNFLOWEH PHILOSOPHY. Atchison (Kan.) Globe. A woman who wants to be nn In valid, Is very apt to be. Every man feels like a hero when ho turns In. a fire alarm.
