THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, MAY id, 1011. Wow Late Can We Spray With Lime-Sulphur Solu tion For Scale I A BtlfcOessful commercial sprayer in Blair county, Par., who has for some years lieen acting upon the 'advice of State Zoologist H. A. Surface, and making a business of spraying trees, just as owners of threshing machines make a business of threshing grain, has Just written to Professor Surface asking "how near may the buds be out until there is danger of scalding by the Lime-Sulfur Solution." The reply, which is Important and practical, is based upon experience, and may prove useful to mnny read ers. "I know from observation and ex perience that you can safely use it until the pink of the blossoms is seen, or, in other words, until the blossoms are ready to expand. t This Is true not only of apple, but also of peach. Last year I sprayed my peach trees after one-fourth of the blossoms were open, and while I .im not sure that these opening blos soms wertl uninjured, I do know that.) there was such a heavy crop of fruit on the trees that 1 had to hire help to do considerable thinning by hand, and keep the trees from overbearing. 1 am thus satisfied that no Injury came from the application, in which I used the strong lime-sulfur solu tion, made to the hydrometer test of 1,03, which is the strength now gen erally recommended for scale. Spray ing with this material, even when in bloom, will not injure bees because it contains no arsenical poison, and the bees will not take up the lime sulphur liquid. Doctor Funk sprayed his apple trees when the round pink balls of the unopened blossoms were plainly visible. This was after the leaves worn nut. He destroyed the scale, i and did not injure his trees nor the fruit crop. This I saw, and conse-, uuently know that I am safe In glv- ing this answer to your very Import- ant question. Hundreds of persons this spring will make this same in quiry, and 1 shall consequently pub lish this reply, as soon as possible, In order to aid others who are need ing the same kind of help." How to Prevent Injury by i Spraying Solution 1 How To Prevent Injury 15y Spraying Solution. An extensive York county fruit grower recently wrote to State Zoo logist H. A. Surface, asking how to avoid, and how to treat injury to the hands by coming in contact with strong spraying solution. This Is a very timely topic, and somo persons will find It quite applicable to their own need. The answer of Professor Surface was as follows: "Replying to your letter concern ing the injury to the hands of your men who use the lime-sulfur solu tion. I can say that thjs can be avoided If you will direct the men to get cheap gloves of any kind, and drop them right into melted tallow or paraffin. I myself use cheap leather gloves, although I have been told by those who have used them, that cloth gloves treated In this way are likewise mado impervious to the liquid. The hands should be rubbed with vaseline, as should also the neck and face, or exposed parts of the body, before the men start to spray. They should also protect themselves by goggles, such as can be had for ten cents at almost any notion store. If the apparatus is in the proper working order, and proper precau tions are taken, they can spray with out getting the liquid on their hands. I have sprayed all day, using a strong liquid, without injury to my hands. To do this 1 wish to be sure, first, that I have a good hose, a good wash- ered stop cork, and a good extension rod, and, next, that there is a disk of thick leather, like sole leather, about as large as a man's hand, around this rod toward the top, to Hum away any spray liquid that may run down from the nozzles. This is to serve as a drip disk, and I like it better than the tin drip disk, soldered firmly in place around be low the nozzle, as it being pliable permits the operator to use the rod among the brush without catching and tearing. While the lime-sulphur solution is injurious to one's hands if they are constantly soaked, it will not give trouble if tho operator will take but reasonable precautions. It Is a strong material, and must nec essarily bo strong In order to db its work of killing the scale. Where one has been injured by the mater ial burning his skin. It is best to apply some healing ointment or vasollno, and bandage the part, so as to prevent further wearing upon the place where the skin has been made thin by the liquid. You can spray any trees until the blossoms are opening, but you can not spray after the blossoms have expanded, without danger of de stroying your fruit crop." Not the I. C. S. The officers of the Correspondence Institute of America, Scranton, were brought before the United States Court of this district at Harrlsburg Alonday, May 8, on a charge of us ing the United States mails with in tent to defraud. The officers of the Institute, Lowis Conrad, president; Conrad Lotz, secretary, and W. M. Bingham, business manager, were arrested on December 15, 1910, and given a hearing before a United States commission on February 15 in Scranton. Over seventy witnesses will be. present from all parts of the United States from Maine to Okla homa. The three officers were given a hearing before a United States Com mission in Scranton on February 14 and were held to await the -action of the Federal district court.

New "ioi-K. for nearly twenty years and Is not nearly completed, but is fur enough along to be dedi cated. Is in inanv respects different from the famous cathedrals of the old world. Those noted structures all hnve dimly lighted chancels, while tho pulpit in tho Cathedral of St. John the Divine is brilliantly illumined by !!00 tungsten electric lights. These lights are so arranged that they will not be seen by the congregation, but their radiance will keep tho pulpit in a brilliant light. The. system of lighting was devised because chandeliers would not con form to tho architectural effects of the Interior. The picture above was made solely by the light of the regular illumination of the puluit. Many of the lights are behind reflectors Installed across the oerspiing of the arch, while the rest of the lamps are behind the columns supporting the dome. TheRe col umns are ninety-five feet hlgii, and the dome has a helcht of 130 feet. To put the lamps In place the workmen swung In a boatswain's chair from a spike driven in the top of the dome. More than $:t,500,000 has already been spent on the cathedral, and the work Is going on as rapidly as funds are available, anyone who is recommended at the beginning of their correspondence course. Tho institute Is familiar as advertising In the general magazines with the use of a comic cartoon and requesting anyone to reproduce the picture as a test of ability as an artist. The advertisement says Copy Mo and Win a Prize." When the copy is sent in the applicant is offered a prize in the way of a spec ial rate scholarship In the school. After pursuing the course for a short time the student becomes dissatisfied in many cases and on endeavoring to quit the course is compelled to continue his installments for tuition, it is alleged. As indicative of the quality of the school are the facts brought out in the hearing at Scranton. It was shown that while the school has 7,000 students enrolled It has not graduated over seventy-five of its nunlls anrl nnnp nf fliaen hnA . --W..W H1.K tlU- quired tho proficiency in drawing iiiuiuiseu uy me institute. Among tho witnesses wh'o will testify against the officers of the cor respondence school are many poor people who have endeavored to bet ter their condition after reading the ilowery circulars of the Institute. The Institute was before the grand Jury once before several years ago when the International Corre spondence School of Scranton was the prosecutor. The case was drop ped. The Investigations which led to the arrest were carried on for a long time by Inspector A. C. Earshaur and W. M. Caovert, both of Phila delphia. Mr. Caovert said Saturday after noon that tho case would be one of the longest and hardest fought criminal cases ever before the local Federal district court. Tho case will be before the Federal court for about two weeks. THY IT AGAIN. When the world looks blue, and you ve lost your grip, .lust take a fresh hold and avoid the old slip; The darkest cloud has its lining of gold, So take on new courage, make bat tle, be bold! When others sink drowning it's the fighter who swims He pushes aside all the troublesome whims, And forges ahead with success his sure aim, While his friends, ever ready his courage acclaim. So this lesson well heed, ere you die in despair, That who falters will fall; 'tis the brave wins the fair, And at last when you've won, re member the day, And admonish your friends it's the happiest way. Then try it again life's too short to say quit; It's a lesson to others to exhibit pure grit. And the progress you make shows others the road, While it cheers the faint-hearted and lifts ihelr aad load. W. D. Mr the Divine, which has been In process A Drop of Water. Figures are sometimes Impressive simply by being so stupendous that the human mind grasps them with difficulty. An instance in point is af forded by the illustration once offered io his hearers by an eminent scientist, who, in order to bring to their com prehension the Idea of ultimate parti cles of water, stated that if ho was to empty a tumbler containing half a pint of wnfer, letting out each second a number equaf to 1,000 times the population of the earth, it would re quire somewhere between 7,000,000 and 47.000,000 years to empty the tum bler. Lord Kelvin lias assured us that if a drop of water was magnified to the size of the earth the particles would be between the size of cricket balls and footballs. If that statem6ht Is correct the drops of water in nil the oceans are not many times so numer ous as the particles, or molecules, In a single drop. St. Louis Republic. When Baronets Were Bold. It was In the reign of good King James that baronets first came into existence. Today you could hardly toll a baronet from a banker. But In the year 1011, when James I. needed ready money and created 2Q0 "little barons" to supply him with cash, they swag gered about In their baldrics and sash es and behaved in the courtliest of fashion. Each baronet In order to justify his title had to maintain a small army of thirty soldiers for three years. In this way the crafty king not only Increased his revenue, but actually lightened his expenses. It Is not generally known that tho title of "baronetess" has twice been bestowed on women. One of these was tho mother of n Dutcli general. The other was r Nottingham lady named Dame Maria Bolles, who won her way Into the good graces of Charles I. and received the title from his hands. London Tit-Bits. Naturally, A girl feels flattered when told she looks well in anything, but a wife thinks such a compliment only a plot to get hor'to wear old clothes. KOUK-LEAF CLOVERS. I know a place where the sun is like gold, And the cherry blooms burst with snow. And down underneath Is the loveli est nook. Where the four-leaf clovers grow. One leaf is for hope, and one Is for faith, And ono is for love, you know. But God put another in for luck If you search, you will find where they grow. But you must have hope, and you must have faith, You must love and be strong, and so If you work, if you wait, you will find the place Where the four-leaf clovers grow. Ella HIgginson.
