SATURDAY.JANUARY 7, 1905 HORTICULTURE -taati. *Sa>>fcr SCURVY BARK LOUSE. t?ost Which Destroys Orcharda arxd Methods of Combating the Evil. A correspondent at Altoona, Pa., wrltee tbe Country Gentleman: "Please tell me lf the inclosed twlgs are in fested with San Jo^e scale. My entire orchard looks like that. and last sum raer many trees turned yellow and dled." The twlgs are badly Infested with the coramon pest, scurfy bark louse, Chio naspis furfurus Fltch. a species whlcb ia aometimes quite abundant upon trees. though rarely numerous enough to kill those of any size. There is no slgn of the San Jose scale, Aspldiotus per niciosus Comst.. and the turnlng yel? low of the foliage axxd death of the treea would indicate some other cause for the trouble. We observed condl tlons somewhat similar to this at tha latter end of the season in western New York, and there it was due in all prob abllity to excessively wet weather. The acurfy bark louse may easlly be recognlrcd by its elongated. somewhat pear-ahaped forrn. the smaller end bear ing a mlnute yellow partlcle, the cast akin cf cp early stage. The male seales are elongaUd. with a small yellowish peliiek- at cix^ end of a much larger. three-rldged white scale. They are fre auently c-owded together in masses and give an almost snowy-white appearance to infested twigs. The female seales. when recent. are almost pure white. but as they age dust and dirt collect xipon them and they soon become graylab. The common name of scurfy bark louae Is beatowed on thia species becauaa of tha acurfy, scale-llke masaes it foruxa apaa Infested trees. The insect passas ?he wlater as purplish egga under tha praUctlng mother acale. the young appearing in thia latitude tha latter part ?I May or early ln June, and in Peansy? ?curvy Bark Louse-^Fomadea skswn at a, c; ma!es at b, d; a, b, natural atao; o, d, anlarged. ranla prob-\b!y about the middlaof May.

Tha San Jose scale Is very differeat, aad may be at once dlstlnguished from the aark louse by Its circular outllne. and alao smaller slze. The full-grown female scale of the scurfy bark louae ls about one-tenth of an inch in lingtb. whereas that of the San Joea acale ia oaly one-sixteeuth of an inch in diaxne ter. The young seales of the latter spe aisa are dark gray, sometimea almost hlack, with a distlsct central nlpple and a grayish riag.

CANNIBAL FFJST SHIPWRECXED SAILORS ALMOST GO ON SAVAQES' QRIDIKON. RESCUED IN NICK OF TIME Btory of Terrible Expericnce Related by Thomas Ellis, One of the Men Who Almost Was Eaten. To be captured by a hortie of wild cannibalB, fed until ho araaaaaad a most appetizing aaactacia to his captors, and to have a dangtrously near view of a large, rough gnuiron, where he was to be toasted until proptrly browned, was the recent experience of Thomas Ellis, a mexnber of the crew of the steamer Astrakan, which has arrived at this port. The story of how Eliis escaped thio fate and thus dlsappoint the ex pectant palates of the savages was told by him. At the time of his experience Ellis was a member of the crew of the sailing sihip Aigburth. Under the command of Capt John H. Reed and with a crew of seven men, the shlp left New South Wales for Java, where it was to take a cargo of sugur for Philadelphia. On July 10, when off the northeast coast of New Gulnea, the ship met a storm. The sails were carried away first, and the mast soon followed. The second day land was sighted, and it was de? termined to make a trial at reaching shore. When still eome distance away tho boat was swamped, aad the eight men, already exhausted, had to swim to shore. One of the men had brought a rifle with him, and he managed to keep this dry, knowing it to be their only hope of getting food. Wet and weakened, the party made their way inland for several hundred yards, when they were attacked by a band of naked savages. With the aid of the rifle, which kept their pursuers at bay, Capt. Reed and three of his men aucceeded in escaping, but Ellis and the others were captured. To the wonder cf the men, the sav? ages took great trouble to capture them alive, and seemed to express glee rather than hatred in their glances. Still more aurprised were they when they were placed in a warm, dry hut and given plenty of vegetable food. No meat was given them, and Uxia omi8Sion was due, they afterward found LYING BOUN^ BESIDE A HUGE FIRE. out, to the prevalence of tetse, a fly pest, which had exterminated most of tha animals iu that section of the couutry. It was not until the end of this time that they began to realize the fate ia store for them. Good living and little work had Its usual effe-et, and they began to fatten. It was when they noticed that thia in crease of flesh was appreclated by their captors that they realized that, having been long without animal food or flesb of any kind, tbe savages intended to have a gaia feast with them as the prin cipal dish. In the meantime, the other sailora had al?o been captured, but by another and more friendly tribe. This tribe had many dealings with traders. When they leamed that the rest of tbe party had been captured by the cannibals, they offered te rescue them. as lt gave them a chance to wreak vengeance on a tribe with whick, ftbey had aeveral scores to aettle.

"In the casematea of the forta one saw everywhere facea black with atar vatlon, exhaustion and nerve Ptrain. You spoka to them, but they did aot give answer, only starlng dumbly. "The lack of ammunitlon alone would not have suggested the asking of terms.

"The Rusaiana aat ln the casematea flring not more than once to the 200 shots sent by the Japanese. Whaa tha assault came they repulsed tha enemy wltlt bayoneta.

THe Japanese perennlally assaulted, and then, lf repulsed, they calmly resumed their bombardments. "So severe v/as the shell flre that few of the hospitals escaped injury. and many men were kiiled in their cots. Some doctors and nurses were also kiiled. Hundreds of the garrison are suffering from sores of the mouth, from tho result of eating diseased horseflesh. The sisters of charity and tho volunteer nursea worked night and day. Many of them fainted at their posts. "According to the registration of the hospitals, 65 per cent, of the offl? cers were kiiled or wounded. Only 20 of the 207 naval offlcers remain unin Jured. My father was in Sevastopol during the siege, but be never baw what I witnessed in the hospitals of Port Arthur. "The shrieks and monnlnjr of the wounded and the agonies >f the dying combined to make these places verit able hells. "lt is a simple story. Had the am munition held out the fortress would have heid out indeflnitely. For many months we he!d Port Arthur by bayo nets alone, until flesh and blood could do no more. When a man fell there was none other to replace him. Thus the garrison was gradually worn down. Two Hundred and Three-Meter Hill alone oost us 5000 men. The capture of that hill was the beginning of the end. The Japanese artillery was excel lently served. They had 400 guns bear lng on 203-Metro Hill. They advanced their trenches while the artillery was shelling the Russians out with a shower of metal and then occupied tha Russian positions. "In personal combat the Japanese were greatly inferior to the Musco vite8. One Russian could take care of three Japanese In a bayonet fight, and some of our scldiers have records vastly higher than that. The Japanese are good. brave soldiers, although I have little liking for them. "It cost the Japanese 80,000 men to take the fortress, while some say they have lost over 100,000. The number of our own dead 's not known, even to the hlgh offlcers. "The flghting since August has been merciless. When Rihlung Mountain was taken 500 men occupying a case mate were not able to emerge, so quickly came the rush of the Japanese. The Russians trled to emerge by the use of their bayonets in the face of machine gun flre. Tfius every man died?trying to resist machine guns with bayonet3 alone. The Japanese did not give them a chance to become pris? oners, but the men would have pre ferred death anyway. "Realize this end!

Glossine, queen of all bair tonics is the nxwt wonderful remedy for the hu man hair ever discovered and has astouudtd the whole world bv its xni raculous and myaterxous power in lengthening, straUbtenxng and beautx fying the human hair. It iatne result of long years of careful study and the ear nest researches of Miss Heleu Martin, a beaotiful and attractive woman who is ackuowledged to be the most skilful and fsmoua beauty doctor of the day. She is a wonderful and most magnifl cent apecimen of womanly grace ano beauty, and although now 58 years of age she scarcely looks to be 30. When asked by what mediums ah? had been abl? |w so successruliy preserve the at tractiveness and beauty of youth. Miss Martin said, Why it is very sixnple to me and every woman be ahe whxte ot colored, young or old or as ugly as sin xtselfcan become prettv, shapely and graceful if she will only do as I advise. As a child I was never considered pret ty, ia fact I was not even thought to be good looking and for this vtry reason ever sxnce I was a girl of sixteen I have made a study of such agencies and ma texials which tend to beantify and adorn the human person. In the glorious vegetable world which natnre has so bounteously bestowed up? on us there are hundreda of innocent mediums which after my long life of study and investigation I have been able to Buceessfully blend and fox mnlate into various preparations which enbance and preserve the life and beauty of the hair and skin. I owe my own good looks and youthful appearance to these preparationa which are the reaults of my life long work. Aa to Glossine I have never known it to tail to cause the hair to grow long, straight soft and luxurioua. It matters not how harsh and kinky it may be and I care not if it be short broken, splitting Bl the ends or falling out Glossine will positively make it Tocg, soft, Btiaight and ptiant. It will give to the hair laa tre. length, life and beauty and no head of hair can be so harah and refractory but that Ulosaine will make it so pliant and wavy that it can be dressed with eeee and m any prevailing atyle desired. It will restore gray bair to its former oblor, make tbe hair grow out on all bald spots. and on the temples where the hair is nsnally thin and unsight ly.
