* THE ARMY WORM. *
* *
Jit***********#,,;:*
Information card No. 2, "The Army
Worm," is the title of a* brief
timely publication issued by the entomology
division of the extension
service of Clemson college to meet
the need for the army woim out1
* break.
Specific instructions are given as
follows: "For army worm on forage
crops and grasses make and apply
poison bran mixture as directed
below:
- - Bran . 50 pounds
Arsenate of lead or.
' senate of lime or
Paris green 1 pound
Oranges or lemons ~ 6 pounds
Cheap syrup or molasses
r.. 2 quarts
Water 2 gallons
"Mix the dry bran and the poison
in a wash tub. Add the syrup. Chop
the oranges or lemons finely and add
, the juice, pulp and all. Then add
the water and stir to fdampen it
thoroughly. Then add as much water
as may be necessary to make it
; a moist, crumbly mass that will sow
easily. (Usually one gallon of water
is required.) While fresh the
wet fruity mash is very attractive
but when dry or stale it is not eaten.
This mixture is applied late in the
evening or very early in the morning.
It should not be sown just before
a shower as the rain may wash
the poison from the bran flakes. Little
of the mixture is eaten after the
first day and a second application
may be necessary.
"The above formula will sow ten
to fifteen acres. Neither domestic
animals or birds can get enough of
the poison to injure them ii sown
as directed. Never place in heaps or
scatter thickly. Keep out of reach
- of domestic animals and children.
"After cotton and corn has become
infested dust the plants with arsenate
of lead or arsenate of lime using
about two pounds of the poison per
acre?less for very young plants and
i two and one-half to three pounds for
A ? J3
cuiluu over luree leet. Arseuaie ui
lead or arsenate of lime are ready
for use when purchased, but may be
diluted by mixing with airslaked lime
equal parts. Instead of pole and bag
the hand or traction 'duster may be
. used.
"Applying the poison to small areas
th? most practical method is to dust
it through a cheese cloth bag attached
to the end of a stick. On large
areas the better method of application
would be. to use two sacks and pole
carried on horse back. This is made
as follows: )
"Take a strip of wood three inch- .
es wide, one inch thick and one foot
longer than width of -rows. Six inches
from each end bore a hole one
inch in diameter. Make two sacks
? . of eight ounce duck six inches deep
and twenty inches long and about
the width of the strip of wood. The
open sides are tacked to the ends of
the strip (called pole) and these can
be filled with poison through the auger
hole in the ends of the pole. A
funnel can be used to advantage.
"One man can poison about twenty
acres per day with the bag and pole
and mule1 method. All live stock
should b? kept out of the poisoned
field for at least three weeks or until
one or two heavy rains. Muzzle th^
mule while applying the poison. Do

XIUL ILLUttlO iuc uuat.
To Prevent Worms from Spreading.
"Plow a deep furrow Ground the
field and when the worms pile up in
the furrow drag a log through it.
Poison the adjoining margins or corn
and cotton fields. Graze the infested
area heavily. If ground is level use
heavy roller. If a road or driveway
separates the infested field from the
threatened crop, use drag in killing
the caterpillars when crossing. Cut
and cure the infested grass or hay
if far enough, advanced and plow and
plant to another crop."

NAVY HANGAR BURNS.
Spontaneous Combustion Relieved to
Have Caused the Blaze.
Charleston, July 25.?With all its
contents of naval stores a hangar at
the Navy Yard was destroyed by fire
yesterday afternoon and last night.
A rough estimate placed the loss at
from $100,000 xto $125,000, while the
value of the material in it was not
known accurately.
The fire was reported at 2:30
o'clock well under way and threatening
to spread to nearby hangars. The
Yardr fir? department, including fire
boats, responded to the alarm, and
after a strenuous fight the flames
wer? under control at 4 o'clock. They
were still burning shortly before midnight
and there was no "expectation
of doing more than to guard against
their spread.
Spontaneous combustion was probably
the cause of the fire, according
to a yard official. The material stored
> in the hangar was of a nature that j
could well produce a fire from such ,
an origin.
GATHER TO WELCOME "JACK."
.
Federal Officials Disappoint Negroes.
"Lii Arthur" Absent.
Chicago, July 25.?Tjro thousand
negroes-gathered at the depot today
to welcome Jack Johnson back to
Chicago after a voluntary exile of
eight years, a fugitive from justice in
foreign lands, but 'Lil Arthur,' idol of
the southside, failed to appear.
Federal officials removed Johnson
from the train at Joilet and hurried
him to the jail when they learned the
size of the welcoming throng there.
When the train reached Chicago
the waiting negroes stormed the gates
in an effort to see the ex-champion
heavyweight of the world. Police re- I
serves from two stations were forcedj
to beat the crowd back with clubs!
to clear a passage for Lucille Camer- j
an Johnson, white wife of the former j
pugilist who wore a red hat,
a blue serge suit, and clasping
a Mexican hairless dog to
her bosom. Policemen loaded the
{ woman and her eight suit cases into
I a brace of taxicabs and assisted her
L. out of the crowd.
B\ No effort was made today to obtain
I bail for Johnson and prospects to
night were that he would remain in
the Joliet jail until arraigned in court.
MOUNTAINS OF THE SEA.
Bottom of the Ocean is Hills and
Hollows.
At the captain's table on an Atlantic
liner a young woman idly inquired
how far the ship was from the
nearest land. Several passengers have
said offhand, "About eight hundred
miles." But the captain turned the
questioner over to a quiet gentleman
who looked at his watch and at a
chart and amazed his hearers by answering
"Just about seventy yards."
"The land I speak of is just thirtySix
fathoms beneath this ship," continued
the expert oceanographer. "It
is the summit of the Laura Ethel
mountain, which is 20,000 feet above
the lowest level of the Atlantic basin.
If it were some two hundred
feet higher or the sea were two hundred
feet lower you would call it
an island." '
In effect, the Atlantic is a huge
continent boasting a superficial area
of 25,000,000 square miles. It is
9,000 miles long and 2,700 miles
broad. The depth of the water that
.. , . j
covers it is Dy no means so consicmrable
as people used imagine. Oceanography
as a science may be said
to date only from about 1850, but-?
thanks chiefly to the labors of the cable
laying and cable repairing ships
?our knowledge of the configuration
of the bed of the ocean grows greater
every year.
The Laura Ethel mountain, discovered
in 1878, is the uppermost
peak of one of-the most celebrated
submarine elevations in the Atlantic.
Mount Chaucer, at the eastward
of it, was revealed to oceanographers
in 1850. Sainthill, which is westward
of both, has the honor to be the
first mountain discovered in the Atlanlftc.
It became known in 1892.
Prior to the laying of the first Atlantic
cable Lieutenant Maury, United
States navy, made it known that a
wide plateau exists beneath the ocean,
running from Iceland to Newfoundland.
It seemed so admirably
suited to the purpose of cable laying
that he modestly called it Telegraphic
plateau, but in most charts it bears
the discoverer's name.
The location of "Davy Jones' Locker"
might be said to have been estab"
lished with the discovery of Sainthill.
It has been estimated that at the
back of this eminence the relics of
not fewer than seven thousand
wrecks lie scattered. Or one might
ascribe that gruesome, distinction to
the. Faraday Hills, discovered in
1883, and lying between Mount Chaucer
and Laura Ethel mountain. These <
hills are noted among oceaographers
fnr thp amount of wreckage which
they are the monument..There
are cavernous depths, of
course, in the Atlantic, as well as
majestic heights. Four miles and a
half may be taken to be the greater
The average is probably about two
miles. Heights and depths alike are
merely hidden land, which may some
day be exposed by the mighty workings
of nature.
Meantime comparatively few ,
changes occur. Beneath the ocean
there are no frosts, no lightnings, no
glaciers, no meteorological agents at
work. If it were not ?or the eddies
and the destruction and accumulation
of animal life, these Atlantic
hills and vales might rest as immutable
as the peaks and craters of the
moon, where there is no atmosphere
to cause decay.
FLORENCE WOMAN RELEASED.
Will Leave For Atlanta Within Few
Days?Case to be Called in Oct.
?: i
Florence, July 24.?Mrs. Edna Burgess,
the woman who shot and killed
her husband, Guy Burgess, here Tuesday
afternoon, was released from the
county jail yesterday afternoon, bail
being granted her in the sum of $1,000,
which was furnished by J. F.
Stackley and D. M. McEachern of this
city. Several of her relatives from '
Atlanta have been with her since
Thursday morning and she will leave
Florence the first of next week for
Atlanta where she will spend some
time, courv not convening here until
October at which time her case will *
likely be tried.
"This is not the way ne combed his '
hair or wore his tie" were the first
words of Mrs. Burgess when she went
fVia rnnrp-na tn view, for the last
IV l,UW vw --- - ,
time, the remains of her late husband.'
With these comments she proceeded
to rearrange his hair and tie almost
as casually as if he had been living
and no such tragedy had been enacted.
"It's a shame. Guy, that you are
lying there that way, but you didn't
do right," she commented in concluding
her service to him.
Mrs. Burgess went from the county
jail to the undertaking parlor to view
the body before it should be taken to
Atchison, Kan., for burial. It was reposing
then in an open casket and box
for shipment. She broke down upon
returning to the county jail and for
some time was unable to control her
grief.
AIRPLANE KILLS PASSENGER.
Pilot Enable to Wrench Control Stick
From Man Asleep or Frightened.
Asheville, N. C., July 25.?One man
was killed and another seriouly injured
today when an airplane owned
by a local automobile dealer crashed
to the ground near here just as the
plane was leaving the landing field.
The machine fell a distance of 250
feet, instantly killing Everett Frady, I
a local plumber, the passenger in the
machine, and breaking both legs and
one arm of the pilot, Lieut. Theodore
Whitt. It is supposed that Frady,
who was sitting in the front seat of
the machine, either fainted and fell
against the control lever or else grabbed
it when he became frightened as
the machine banked. The pilot stated
that the passenger froze to tjhe
control stick and that efforts to make
him release it were of no avail. It is
expected that Lieut. Whitt will recover
as he suffered no internal injuries.
The plane had been in operation
here eight days during which it had
carried some SO passengeis. The accident
is the first of its kind to occur
in this section of the state.
