BIG TREE YIELDED TO AGE
Chestnut In Which Washington Is
Said to Have Hidden Collapses
at Yonkers, New York.
Maybe there's no truth in the tradition
that George Washington once
hid In the hollow trunk of the great
chestnut tree thut Until recently stood
In the front yard of Charles F. Coy,
Yonkers. New York. But folk thereof
about believe he did. just as they he"
lieve that the tree was 700 or 800
years old when It died a few years
ago, and was the oldest and biggest
tree of any variety not only in Westchester
county but In New York state.
The trunk, which wus about 35 feet
tall and about 35 feet In cireumfer...ao

down by the department of public
works of Yonkers, and its dismembered
remains carted away. Said Mr.
Ooy:
"Before it died that tree produced
the biggest and sweetest-tasting
chestnuts I ever saw. After Its death
a vine that covered It made It still
an object of beauty. Just as Its vast
size and age mode It an object of admiration.
"The top was broken off about the
time It died. I never knew lt^ exuct
height. But I do know that a deal
of tradition had grown up uround
it and that It commonly was rated the
largest" tree in this part of the country.
I am sure It was the biggest In tills
county."
TO DESTROY INSECT PESTS
Two Forma of Insecticides Necessary
for Successful Protection of
Plants and Foliage.

Juices from plants anil follape. such
as lice, preen, black anil whi.e aphis
or fly, mealy hup. reil spider anil scale,
by tlirustlnp their proboscis Into the
leaf or stem, for they are not affected
by stomach poisons. Tlvey must
be destroyed by contact insecticides.
Those in powder form kill by closinp
the breathinp pores in the insect's
skin, or in fluid form by belnp absorbed
through these pores, the American
Forestry Magazine points out.
The best contact insecticides in powder
form are hellebore, slup shot and
tobacco dust. The best in fluid form
are aphine. black leaf 40, fish (whale)
oil soap, nicotine (tobacco extract),
kerosene, miscihle oil and lemon oil.
Insects Uiat eat plants, follape. vegetables,
fruits, flowers, etc., whether
bugs, beetles, worms, caterpillars or
slugs are more quickly and effectually
destroyed with a poisonous stomachic
insecticide such as arsenate of
lead, paris preen or hellebore. These,
If applied according to directions, are
so diluted as to be harmless to vegetation
and to animal life. Less poisonous
stomachic and contact Insecticides
are kerosene emulsion, slug
shot, etc.
Boy "Policeman"' Gets Results.
Bill Zerbe, formerly of Indianapolis,
io uiuiut vjrvit; jniiiieuimi 111 me i/(igansport
police department. Both the
young and old know Bill because of
his record as a tamer of speeders.
A few days ago the driver of an
automobile permitted the motor of his
/ -u machine to run while he went Into a
( store. When he came out he found
a piece of paper In the front seat of
the car. On the paper were these
words: "You are pinched for permitting
the engine of your machine to
run over 15 minutes. Bill Zerbe."
The driver of the car went to police
headquarters to pay his flue and
exhibit the evidence thnt he had been
caught. On being assured that the
paper presented had not been prepared
by Zerbe, the driver of the machine
recalled that he bad seen a
small boy with a broad grin on his
face standing near when be started
toward the police station.?Indianapolis

Electricity to Locate Metal.
The idea of using current trans/mitted
through the earth as a means
of locatlhg metal ores Is familiar, the
belief being that the greater conductivity
of these metalliferous regions can
be clearly Indicated, and the area
mapped out, says the Scientific American.
The location of oil deposits,
which according to the Electrical Review
Is now being Investigated elec
iiiiauj, iiicscuiB n iDuvrrw prouiem.
In this case the Insulating properties
of the oil diminish the current, and
oil-bearing regions are detected accordingly.
In view of the great depth
to which It Is often necessary to bore
for oil?oil that only exists simultaneously
with an almost oil-free area
above?the method would seem to
have limitations, but It has doubtless
possibilities In dealing with surface oil
areas.
That Decided Him.
George was In n despondent mood.
"But, Mnhei, dear," he said, "marriage
Is out of the question Just now. You
seem to have forgotten that I'm a poor
clerk on a meager salary."
"Oh, George, don't let poverty Interfere
with our happiness. We cnn live
on one meal a day, if necessary."
"But you know nothing of household
duties, sweetheart. Why, you can't
even cook."
"Indeed,"I can, lovec I hnve kept It
secret from you but the time has come
for my confession. George, dear, I got
a certificate from a domestic aclence
school three months ago."
The yonng man jjasped. "My darling,"
he said, "come to my arms. It
