knife and scrape the bark at the roof care-

if so, search for a borer beneath and remove
it. The writer set 2000 peach trees five
years ago and tack as many as seven borers
from a tree, but few having none. The
work was so thoroughly done and'no orch-
ards being near to furnish mature insects to
impregnate them, that there has not been a

A Remarkable Engineering Nat.
One of the most remarkable engineering
feats appears to have been achieved in China,
in the face of extraordinary physical &Soul-
ties—namely, the successful stretching of a
steel wire cable of seven strands across the
river Duman, this feet having been accom-
plished by the Danish engineer Delinde,
assisted only by unskilled native labor. The
*sable extends between two points at a dis.
tanes -of 4,700 feet apart, the height of the
first support being about 470 feet above the
present level of the river and the second
about. 740 feet. The cable in question is
said to be the longest in the world, with
a single exception—nam sly the (tibia across
the Kistnah, measuring some 5,070 feet.
There are also two cables across the Ganges
of -2,900 and 2,830 feet, respectively.

Compton, the Gladstonian candidate, was

Wentworth, the Conservative representa-

Liberal, had a majority of 2,508, so that in
the present' election there is a falling off, in
the Gladstonian majority of 57 votes; but
the total number of votes polled was increas-
