Whan the deslenebivonem of the chinch bugs was at its height, according to Prof. La. Fl. Sayze, it was discovered that an epidemio had set in among them. Dr. H. Sohimer Brut dis. covered this disease in 1867, and several years. Inter practical use war xosde of it in desteying these pests on a fargo sonle. It was found that the spores of the fungus, Sporotrichum globilforum, would be propagated on goletin or other organic matter. I was only necessary tebuster colonies of the spores to the corn fields, and these nnder favourable cironta stan cos would some in contact with the chinch bag, cames infectious disease, and exterminate the post in a few days. Infooled bugu vero sup- plied fris an experiment station in Kansas, and it is estimated that in 1891 the 444 farmers who tried the romedy wore saved $80,000. A serious diawback to the general silaption af this plan has since been found in the fact that acortain amount of moisture in the air it meccssary to insure the spread of the disease,
Coming from so ominent an authority as Prof. W. E. Ayrton, this prophony is of inte rest. The day will come, maybe when you and I are forgotten, when copper wire, gutta- percha coverings, and iron shenthings will bo relegated to the maserm of antiquities. Then when a person wants to telegraph to a friend, he knows not where, he will call in an electro- magnetic voice, which will be heard. lond-by- him who has the electromagnetic car, but will be sent to every ona alas, be will call, Where are you? and the reply will come loud to the man with the electromagnetio var, I am at the hottem of the coal-mine, pressing the Andes, or in the middle of the Pacifio. Or, perhaps, no vajce will come at all, and he may fhm ox pect the friend is dead,"
