PAGE TWO THE CITIZEN, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1913. TAR PAPER TO PROTECT TREES A correspondent from Venango County wrote to Prof. H. A. Surface, State Zoologist, Harrisburg, Pa., and asked "if tar paper would be all right to put around young trees to protect them from the rabbits which are very bad this year.'-' Tho in quirer 'added, "I expect to use slat ers' felt and wrap them with good strong cord so it will hold." To this communication Professor Sur face replied as follows: "It will be all right to put tarred paper around young trees to pro tect them from rabbits and mice. I can say that this can be done all right if the papers are removed in the spring, but if they are left abound the trees during the summer they protect 'the woolly aphis, which is lloblo to become a serious pest, and also certain insects that may injure the trees, and also that make the bark tender, and liable to in jury, from various pauses. "In other words, I recommend them for use only during tho winter. "Take a piece of paper of such size that it will make a collar, and lap over when bent around tho tree. Tie it in place by the use of several strings. See to it that there is no rubbish in the way of leaves, weeds or grass standing under it. In other words, push it down into the loose earth and mound other earth around it an inch or two. Remove them in the spring time." TOURISTS HAVE ADVENTURE They Moot Ijiou and Panther in Fon tainblcau Forest. Who says that adventure is dead? Only the other day a motorist and his wife were taking a turn through the forest of Fontainbleau when they got a "turn" of the sort they hardly bargained for. They found themselves being am bushed by a Hon, and wo know on Shakespearean authority how im pressionable the fair sex is at the approach of that kind of "wild fowl." The, woman promptly faint ed, and monslour shut on the clutch at grande vltesse. No sooner had madame revived than they encountered a panther. This was too much of a good thing. Monsieur was about to say so with all his Gaelic eloquence when the explanation turned up. A troupe of pseudo Arabs with bernouso and spear came up to ex plain that they wore working off a lilm for a cinema firm, and the beasts were drugged. It was a sorry climax, but it all came "into the picture" and es pecially the changing emotions on tho motorists faces from alarm to action and from indignation to re lief. New York Sun. MJ3MOIIY PliAVED ISTRANGE TRICKS. In later life Emerson's memory played him some strange tricks. Jas. Cabot, his biographer, says that he met him one day in tho streets of Boston, apparently at loss for some thing, and asked him where he was going. "To dine," said Emerson, "with an old and very dear friend. I know where she lives, but I hope .you won't ask me her name." Then he went on to describe her as "the mother of the wife of the young man the tall man who speaks so well," and so on, until Cabot guess ed to whom he was referring. Em erson was often at a loss for the names of common objects. Once, when he wanted an umbrella, he said, "I can't tell its namo, but I can tell its history. Strangers take it away." This failing led to a pa thetic scone at Longfellow's funeral. After gazing long at the face of his lifelong friend, as he lay in his cof , fln, Emerson said to a bystander, "That gentleman was a sweet, beau tiful soul; but I have entirely for gotten his name."

THE MOST NEEDED INVENTIONS A communication sent to the Sci entific American by P. E. Edelman, Minneapolis, Minn., will undoubtedly interest a number of our readers. His list comprises the following most needed Inventions: 1. An electric light as efficient as the motor. 2. A storage battery as cheap as dry cells, light, efficient, and fool proof. 3. A new product which will uti lize or require the use of vast quan tities of chlorine to advantage. 4. A wireless telephone which will cost no more and use no more power than the simple sets now used on short inter-communicating lines. 5. A glass or substitute therefor which will withstand strains with out breaking, without losing the usual transparency 6. An economical crude oil engine light enough and adapted for auto mobiles and similar service. 7. Cheap substitutes for leather and rubber which have the properties of the natural material and which can be made on a large scale at low cost. 8. A lifeboat which will not sink or capsize and which can bo launch ed safely in a heavy sea. 9. Means to prevent railroad wrecks which will, within human error, prevent such wrecks entirely. 10. Heal cures for consumption and cancer, 11. A detector for radio commun ication which without sacrificing tho sensitiveness, rigidity, and practica bility of present long distance types, will still be of Itself, or in conjunc- RESULTS TELL SGRANTON BANK TELLER ATTRIBUTES BLOOD POISONING TO HANDLING MONEY Eugene Tropp, teller of tho Dime Bank, Scranton, is back on duty af ter ten days' illness with blood pois oning, Vhich he ascribes to money he was called upon to handle during the' pursuit of his daily avocation in the bank. His neck and the upper part of his- chest were affected and he suffered considerable pain before tho trouble was finally eradicated. According to Mr. Tropp an in grown hair on his neck became fes tered and ho scratched It after hand ling a quantity of bills received in tho cage during the course of the day's business. A day or two later his neck became sore and commenc ed to swell up and he was compelled to retire from work temporarily and send for a physician. Dr. Falkovysky who attended him found that the patient was suffering from a well de veloped case of blood poisoning and after rigorous treatment managed to stop tho spread of the infection and finally effect a cure. tlon with a positive'' rapid- relay mechanism, capable of automatically transmitting tho received energy in to loud or visible signals under all conditions met in practice. And so the list might be contin ued. Many of the items are of course already receiving attention with, encouraging results; certainly we shall see at least some of these problems solved and perfected. It would be interesting to note tho in dividual opinions of several hundred readers engaged in the various arts and industries. Then, perhaps, It may please some to guess at .the ten most urgent. EATS A SQUIRREL AND DIES E. O. Halo Poisoned by Animal Which Ato Blighted Nuts. Hartford, Conn., Nov.. 27. Pto maine poisoning from eating a gray squirrel which is known to have eat en chestnuts from trees affected by blight is given as the cause of the death to-day of Everett O. Hale, son of Mr. and 'Mrs. Addison Hale, who livo near tho Manchester line. Although Mr. Hale, who was a cousin of John H. Hale, the peach man, had not been well of late, it is not thought his previous condition caused his death. Six other persons have died in Connecticut this fall from eating blighted chestnuts. Mr. Hale was seized with con vulsions Monday night. When the seriousness of his condition was realized Dr. Thomas G. Sloan was summoned. All efforts failed to re lieve the man and he died in a con vulsion. Dr. Sloan was positive thaj; death was caused by ptomaine poisoning. This at first seemed improbable, as he had eaten nothing unusual. - Up on learning, however, that Mr. Hale had eaten some squirrel and that the chestnut blight was prevalent in this section the doctor decided that the squirrel had eaten affected chestnuts.

OP We note that in a contemporary journal a correspondent has made the suggestion as to the cause of the recent earthquake shocks in Pan ama, which is more ingenious than it is convincing. He draws attention to the fact that over 200,000,000 cubic yards of material has been re moved from the Culebra cut and de posited elsewhere. This, he argues, involved a readjustment of weights on the surface which, taken in con nection with such heavy blasts as that of forty tons of dynamite, which was used to destroy the Gamboa dike, may have had some predispos ing effect on the recent earthquake shocks.

There Can bo No Doubt About tho Results in nonesdalo. Results tell the tale. All doubt Is removed. The testimony of a Honesdalo citi zen. Can be easily Investigated. What better proof can be had? Miss B. Tolan, 142G Spring street, Honesdale, Pa., says: "Several months ago when suffering from pains in the small of my back and other symptoms of kidney trouble, I procured Doan s Kidney Pills at A M. Leln's drug store. They remov ed the pain in my back and re stored my strength and energy. I am now enjoying good health." Later Testimony. When Miss Tolan was interviewed at a later date, she said: "I still recommend Doan's Kidney Pills highly and I hope that my state ment will prove of benefit to other kidney sufferers. I know of other cases besides my own where this remedy has been used with success." Price 50c, at all dealers.

The old scheme of tying the line around one's big toe and going to sleep prob ably would work, all right so far as rousing the fisherman was concern ed, but tho sequel might not leave him in a condition to give undivided attention to landing his prize. To this end the officers and sailors have hit on an ingenious plan. Instead of taking in their lines when the dinner gong sounds, or when for any reason they are on duty elsewhere. they run a stout piece of marlin twine from tho shark line up to the steam whistle, leaving it for the man-eater himself to announce the event of his b6ing hooked by sound ing a toot.
