BOSTON CHILD KEPT DIGNITY
Matron Meant to Bo Kindly, But
Youngster Was Not Conversa
tionally Inclined.
This story has been going the
rounds of Boston about the ten-year-old
son of Director Russell of the
Boston opera houso.
Ono ovoning during an entr'acto at
Iho opera house Master Russell was
promenading alone In the foyer, in
faultless evening dress a very glass
of fashion. A Boston matron, seeing
that ho was lonely, began to make
horself "agreeable."
"You aro Director Russell's little
boy, aren't you?" sho asked, 'with
patronizing sweetness.
Master Russell resented this intru
sion on his dignity, but his courtly
manors were unruffled. "Yes, mad
am," ho replied, with an elaborate
bow.
"Where were you born?"
"In Franco, madam" Slightly moro
frigid.
"What part?" continued tho lady,
feeling tho conversation well started.
"All of me, madam."
And ho bowed and walked away.

Suicide Among German Children.
Why do so many German children
commit suicide? No one seems to
know, but there is no dispute about
the fact. Indeed, It has been said that
tho majority or suicides aro those of
children, and experts seem inclined to
connect tho grisly epidemic with tho
educational system. That "tho weak
must go to tho wall" has bocomo an
axiom that has been extended to tho
Bchools, and tho undeveloped mind of
tho child seeks relief in suicide from
tho discouragement of failure. It
would bo Interesting to know If wy of
tho so-called heathen countries of tho
world have ever experienced such a
horrid social phenomena as that of
child suicide.

POWER OF A PUMPING PLANT
One 8econd Foot of Water Delivered
Considered Ample to Irrigate
Eighty Acres of Land.
(By E. D. HOt'SR. Colorado Experiment
Station.)
Lcttera continually como to tho de
partment of Irrigation engineering at
tho agricultural collego roadlng some
thing llko this: "I wish to install
ft pumping plant on my land; I wish
to raise tho water twonty foot high; I
want enough water to irrlgato eighty
acres of land. What slzo pump shall
I order and what horso power engine
will bo noccBsary to do tho work?"
This brings up Immediately two
questions, tho duty of water and also
tho efficiency of tho pumping plant.
It may be safely stated that ono sec
ond foot of water delivered from a
pumping plant will bo ample to irrl
gato eighty acres of ordinary Colo
rado land and will furnish amplo sup
ply of water to ralso ordinary farm
crops upon It. In fact, wo should dc
hotter than this and should make one
second foot of wator irrlgato and take
care of tho crops on from 100 to 120
acres of our land. California fnrmor?
mako ono second foot of water Irri
gate from 300 to 600 acres and In time
wo will do tho samo, but much monjy
must be spent upon our canals and
laterals bofore this can bo done. So
for an amplo supply, let us say that
ono second foot will irrigate 80 acres,
Ono second foot of wnter equnls
450 gallons per minute, thoroforo a
pump delivering 450 gallons per min
ute should bo purchased. When wo
como to flguro horse power necessary
to ralso this amount of water twenty
feet high, wo go back to tho physics
wo studied when wo wora boys. II
you will think back' over those times,
I think you will refnembcr that when
one pound Is raised one foot high,
ono "foot-pound" of work has been
done; if that pound is raised 20 feet
high, 20 foot pounds of work has been
done. A good sized horso, weighing
from 1,400 to 1,600 pounds, can do suf
ficient work to raise a 550-pound
weight one foot high each second
and keep It up all day and day after,
consequently we have a unit for tho
rate of doing work which Is called the
"horse-power," and It is equal to 550
foot-pounds per second. Our engines
aro all rated In horso power. When
ono cubic footof water, or 450 gallons,
Is delivered each second tho weight of
this water Is 62 pounds. If this is
raised 20 feet high we would bo doing
20 times C24 or 1,250 foot-pounds of
work each second. Dividing this by
550, wo have 2.3 (nearly). This is
the theoretical horsepower required to
raise ono second foot of water twenty
foot high. Our machinery, however,
is not perfect for there is work lost
In friction, friction of the water In tho
pipe and also In the turns and elbows,
hence It will take moro than a 2.3
horsepower onglno to do tho work de
sired. The efficiency of nn ordinary
plant will not usually run moro than
50 per cent, perhaps 40 per cent would
bo a better figure, so tho 2.3 horse
power represents just 40 per cent ol
the power necessary, or tho sized en
gine to order would bo 100 times ono
fortloth of 2.3, which Is practically
bIx horsepower.
Overhead Irrigation. (
Tho overhead system of- Irrigation
Is being generally Installed at Krlngs
Station. Mr. H. H. Miahler, ono of
tho most progressive growers, has
placed tho overhead pipes in all his
greenhouses, covering more than an
acre, and tho system Is also used out
of doors. Artificial watering mokes
crop production much moro certain,
and it also increases yields and Im
proves tho quality of many vegetables.
Lottuce, cucumbers and tomatoes are
the most Important greonhouso crops,
and the overhead sprinkling lines aro
used throughout tho year.
V Tho good cow deserves liberal, well
selected feed.
The horses on tho grain tanks need
the best of care and feed,
Uneven speed means poor results
from using tho separator.

ANOTHER DESTRUCTIVE

Geoffroy, Injurious Insect Little Known Here, but Well Known
In Europe, Causing' Serious Damage to Elms In Vari
ous Parts of the United States.
(ny F. D. HILLMAN.l
Geoffroy, an Insect llttlo known in
this country, but well known In Eu
rope, whore it is a serious onomy of
tho elms In Franco, Is causing consid
erable damago in various parts of the
United States. Tho first locality in
our country in which this insect was
found was Wostchcstor county, N. Y.,
in 1884, whoro it was found on nur
sery Block in great numbors.
In 1887 it was wound on tho sllppory
elm at Cambrldgo, aMBS. It had boon
observed in Now York city tho pre
vious year. In 18SS it was found on

elms on tho grounds of tho Depart
ment of Agrlculturo at Washington,
and soon after on trees In tho strcots
of the samo city Up to this tlmo tho
insect remained unidentified in tho
American entomological collections,
but In 18S9 moro completo material
was received by the Division of Ento
mology of tho department of agricul
ture, from which tho Insect was de
termined to bo Identical with tho elm
pest of Europo (GosByparla ulml)
Geoffroy.
So far as Is known, tho insect con
fines its attacks In this country to the
elms, hut preBonts somo variability in
its preferences for tho vnrlouB species
of olms In different localities. In Eu
rope, however, It has boon found on
tho alder. '
According to tho reports of tho ob
servers at tho above mentioned locali
ties, tho lnsoct attacks tho American
elms moro vigorously than tho intro
duced European species, and thus it is
added to tho alroady long list of immi
grant animals and plants that havo
found In this country conditions moro
congenial than thoso of their foreign
homo.
Ono is' most apt to first notico tho
presenco of this insect by soeing great
numbers of circular whitish rings sur
rounding a dark ontor clustered along
tho under sldo of tho lower limbs nnd
branches. If tho bark is cracked,
rowu of tho insects will bo found to
covor tho cracks and so bo arranged
longitudinally to tho branch. Tbeso
light marglnod objects aro tho bodlos
of old fotnale llco and may bo one,
two or three years' standing. A clos
er examination will reveal tho fact
that many of tho contral darker parts,
which aro tho bodies proper of tho
llco, aro absent, these having fallen
away with ago.
Tho whlto marginal ring Burround
lng tho body of tho Insect, consists of
a somowhnt fibrous, waxy material, so
crotod by tho developing insect. It
becomes firmly attached to tho bark
and curled Inward, where its edgo is
somewhat fringed. The body becomes
with nge dark brown, smooth, convex
longitudinally, tho segmentation usu
ally remaining distinct.
Tho preceding description applies
to tho femalo only. Tho male Insect
asumes a very different form. Ab tho
males do not take food, they may be
found at any point on tho bark, usu
ally, however, In moro or less pro
tecting spots. On nearlng maturity,
tho males secrete a mlnuto pocket
llko case, or cocoon, within which they
cast their larvul skin, and acqulro a
