W'ilkesl'arre Times-' Leader i Steam to Clear the Soil. A now piece of agricultural appa ratus has been developed for the pur f<0:?o of combating tho destructive ougs and undesirable vegetable growths by an application of steam to the soil pen etrating sumo distance below the sur face. Tho machine carries a stearn i;<*n<'rating plant and moves over the surface or. a largo drum, the periphery of which is ?tn;^"rcd wtih protruding stoum cutlets in the shape of blades or s; ines. As tho apparatus is drawn over the gTound tho spines embed them selves in tho soil and while In this po sition the steam is released ari l pene trates the soil for some distance around tho outlet, killing the worms, larvae and bugs and the undesirable crop of weeds which seed themselves from ono season to another.?Scien tific American Fiji Prince a PrivateSoldier. A translation of a young Fijian chief's impressions of the fighting In France is given in tho Field. Ho is Ratu Sukuna, a nephevr of tho late King Thakomban, who enl!stod in the Foreign Legion. Ho writes: "A thing that amazed mo were the shells that wero fired. Thoy seemed like the noiso of a trumpet; then liko a whis tle with a devilish voice, and wo woro not at all comfortable. It was as if the elements were kicking our side? ami our heads shook, and it was as if our stomachs wero on flro. When tho Germans attacked they came twice under tho iiro of our great guns, and wo scattered thein liko a flock of fowls, and then our artillery and ma chlno guns ate them up." Facta About the Bee. Dr. N. 10. M'lndoo of the Smith sonian institution, Washington, haj recently completed four yoars' experi ments on the senses of smell and taste In 6,600 honey bees.

Mr. Dwells ia his address t> the merchants of Spartanburg !a^t night ??aid: "You cannot 'spend to<> much money in advertising of the right; -ort." Mr. Owens spoke as the head of a department store of the most modern ty[m? With him advertising is a daily subject of thought and care. 5 He spoke as one having authority, and1 t ruthfully. The right sort ?if advertising gets results.- There is no question a? to] the truth of that. There are too many examples of success from the right j sort of advertising to permit question. .Mr. Owen's idea that the merchant' who regards the preparation of his advertising copy as a side line, and j does it without thought and purpose, Is losing money and business, is cor- i rect. He advocates greater care and | thought?i-ii?t4ie?preparathm of advertls^1" ing copy which is after all the se-, cret of advertising success.?Spartan-j huurg Herald. I FINAL DISCHARGE . ?
