Now commenced my work, and I de scended on my rope to terra as after terrace, forcing my way through thick rows of prickly pear, a most painful operation. And now we found that there was nobody below to signal as where tbe nest 1st. The Inevitable re sult wsa that after descending more than 100 feet I had to signal to be hauled op again, always through the prickly pear. Again did P descend. and again did I fall to nod tbe nest On tbe third occasion I reached a re cess in tbe greet cliff, whence, after 'unbending my rope and securing it to a bosh (or obvious reasons, I made a cast along a ledge to tbe sooth and reached a point which I Identified as being not far from the nest as eeen from below. - Bo 'I retraced my steps and, regaining my rope, was hauled op for a third time, .poring thai op eration I Deseed a ledge where a pere grine falcon was nesting. The old female swept close around with shrill cries and eventually alighted on tbe aandy shelf of rock within a (ew feet of me and, with outspread wings and very feather standing on end, low ered ber bead and screamed furiously. I bare no doubt I was close to her young, but I bad more serious Work in band, and so I left ber alone. I now made my fourth and last descent and found myself immediate ly over the nest, but before I could go down to it the party handling the rope had to work their way down toward me. since the rope wns too short Fi nally I reached the nest, an enormous mass of big sticks measuring more tban five feet across and doubtless the result of many yearn' work. In It were two eggs much Incubated. By stand ing on a ledge close to the nest and pressing the camera between my body and the face of the cliff I was able to take some long time exposures with fairly good results. It was near sun set, and the cliff was in deep shadow, which did not facilitate my task. Be tween the shsly nature of the cliff, the slippery terraces covered with loose soil and stones and tun fl-Satable prickly pears I never hud -ore un plesaant or arduous tssk oo a cllif be fore.

Pear Blight. A letter from J. F. Myser, tittle. Colo., to tbe "Fruit Uroaer" In re gard to pear blight. I nave leoeivea a oopy oi we uareo Issue of tbe Fruit Uiower, in wblob I find ao aitiole written by me entitled Planting an Irrigated Orohard," wblob was read before the Colorado State Horticultural Society, Denver, Colo,, during the last week in Jena ery. I trust thf artlole will be of some value to tbe many readers of tbe Fruit Uipser, especially to those wbo wish to embark In tbe business en inrlgsted section. The most important euojeot, now. ever, to horticulture la tbe disss sse wbioh II devastating the orchards throughout the entire fialt growing sections of tbe United dtates, name ly, pear aad apple tree blight I no tice quite aa extensive aitlcle la your paper oa tbe subject written by some of. the soleotlfio people ot the country, and sa sorry to say that their theory of tbe cause of blight Is absolutely sioneous aad misleading to tbe people of tbe country. 1 de sire to make a short statement in re gard to blight foi the benefit of tbe growers of trait, so tbey can study tbs prob em for themselves, and know sumetmng or it from tneir own ex- perienae. 1 nave given tnirteen end diligent etudy to tbe subjeot of blllgbt, and am familiar with it in all its posses,, ana know wnereoi speak. Now, I wish to say tbat science is mistaken as to tbe bacterial germ be ing the cause of bllgbt or baring any signncanoe whatsoever in relation to it. The baoterlal getm It tbe result of blight, instead of the cause, and does not become present in tbe limb uutil alter tbe limb la absolutely dead. Ibe preeenoe of tbe bacterial germ ia tbe reault of k natural law after tbe deatb of the limb takes plaoe, and Is Indigenous to tbe limb, and always originates in tbe sap and never from any outside source. The bacteria germ Is tbe first evidence In nature's law aftel tbe limb ie blight ed, towards tbe pntrefaotloa of tbe limb, and la furthermore never trans mi ted to other trees, and Is there of not contagious la any form by Its own agenoy, and cannot no reproduc ed except by Inoouatlon. botsntlsts claim that Vllght la doe to bacteria germa, for tbe reason that when a limb ia taken into tbelr laboratoiy and a culture Is made of It a germ is found, wbioh I do not deny, -and it oould not be otherwise, as nature provides for It, and In tbelr profes sion they are compelled to proooanoe It so, for tbe reason tbat their ver diot must be in accordance with the finding In the limb, and any other verdict would be presumptive and not eolentiflo. In truth and (act, tbelr experiments are always on the teeult instead of the cause, and they have been working wrong end to. In all their research work In seeking (or tbe oaua. of bllgbt Now, whet la blight ana how is It produced! I will answer this briefly. All tbe trouble of this eharaoter whloh we have on trees Is dne to two causes, namely, blight and its ally, both ot wblob oonform to natural lawe pure and aim pie. These two elemente in nature are beat and oold. Bllgbt Is due to beat, wbile its ally is due to oold wbioh is frost, and in result they are identical, and no sotentlfio man can tell the dltferenor between tbe two. It must be undeetood that when this trouble originally occurs on trees, the tree ia always in active life and aap It flowing freelly. Now, wnen a pear tree is nealtnv and vigor ous and sap flowing abundantly to tbe outer ends of tbe limbs, oausing them to become very tender, and at tbla time we have from 98 to luO de grees Fehenbelt, wltb an aoeolute etlUneee of the atmosphere, oo the limb le not fanned In the breeze, tbe sun scalds tbe limb aad Ufa therein becomes extlnot, and tne work la done. Now, reverse tble with frost, whieb occurs most always while tbe tree ie In bloom. Toe bloom freezes. aad you have the same result, oa: yon osnnuot discover the result until from Ave to seven days after the frost Public Libraries Worth While. la aa address at the opening of tbe Salisbury Eng.) publlo library Lord Avebory ei pressed the opinion that sooh Institutions, Instead of in creasing the rata of taxation, as Is often com plained, wars Important factors la reducing that rate.

Post Hide by tide In tbe wilderness onr forefathers planted tbe church and tbe school j and on these two supports the nation oaa stood firm and grown great But a tripod la neoeasary for stable equilibrium. At tbe country bat grown, its industrial, euonomio and polltloal problema bare giowu more numerous and more complex, and tbe nation required a broader base Of intelligence and moralty for its sicuritv and perpetuity. Tbe third support for a wider and higher national life has been found In tbe publlo library, wbioh, cooperating wltb tne school, doublet tbe value of the education the obild receives In school and there lnoites him to con tinue bia education after leaving school and furnishes btm with fecit ltiee (or doing to. It also enables tbe adult to make op (or tbe opportuni ties he negleted, or, more often, did not have In early Ufa. It doea tbla, too, at an expenee to tbe community of not mora than one tenth of the cost per capita oi school education. Therefore, as tbe last Saturday Jev- ont aald: "on omitting tbat email ex penditure in a universal system of libraries whloh would enable voung i and women to oontlnue tbelr edaoatloo, we tpend tbe 97 and stingily deolline tbe 3 really needed to make tne best of the 100 effect ive," Or, 1 may aay, In homelier phrase it is like giving 119.50 for an oveicoat and refusing another half dollar (or buttons to make It thor oughly serviceable.
