J. Costello, Leo Haggerty, Edgar I Gibbons, Henry M. Butler, Frank Kel Although the wholesale price of butter has dropped twelve cents and the wholesale price of eggs has come down six cents, these products are not yet within the reach of the average household and will not be until the stock which retailers have purchased at advanced prices is sold and the retailers have an opportunity to realize on their purchase. The fact that the drop in the wholesale price of butter has been so great 13 to blame for the failure of the retailer to keep pace, a prominent wholesaler declared yesterday. This man said, however, that within a day or two the retail price would be relatively as low as the wholesale allowing of course for the customary profit of fire cents per pound for the retailer.

"We have butter for breakfast and cannot have eggs." or "we have eggs and cannot have butter," was the Winter chours in many boarding houses. All of that is of the past for the strike of the chickens and the boycott of butter is almost over. The prevailing wholesale price for butter is 29 and 31 cents a pound wholesale and of eggs S3 and 34 cents a dozen. What caused the drop?" one wholesaler was asked. "The newspapers," he replied.

"So much publicity was given to the in creased price and there was so much talk of boycotting butter and eggs that the consumption fell off and the bottom fell out of the market. The board which fixes the prices overshot the mark." Was there an organized boycott ere" the wholesaler was asked. Xot organized, exactly, was the reply. "It was mighty effective, however. There was scarcely any call for high grade butter." BODY OF JOHN LANGAN WEST SCRANTON DIES FOUND ON D.

TRACKS Extra Conductor On Erie Rail road Discovered Near Lang cliffe Crossing. When the hour is 2:35 a. and the place is Lackawanna avenue and two small boys, of perhaps fourteen years, come hurriedly along, it is time for the cop to keep his eyes Patrolman Wesley Kresge, whose eyes, for that, matter, are ever open, saw this siafht yesterday morning. And as the' patrolman observed the boys, he noticed that as they aproached they seemed to increase their pace and to look askance at the blue coat and shining star. In fact, so distinct was this phenomena of interested locoino tion that when the two boys got under the iee of the big fellow they were fairly running, and to catch them he had to work his own legs some, too.

But lie caught them: caught them red handed and wild eyed, and when he bad bundled them into the patrol wagon and taken them to the city hall Patrofman Kresge was mighty glad that lie had spotted them, for these two boys were none other than a pair of desperate desperadoes that had run away from home. Steve Sernlak, aged fourteen years, one of the boys, had $1.80 in his pock ets and a couple of pocket knives Steve Telyn, aged thirteen, didn't have any money, but he had what was much more to the point a belt with a pistol pouch in it, a pistol in the pouch and some cartridges in the pistol. "I want to throw the revolver in the river," cried Telyn, who, the po lice believe, had been devouring the Bishle penny novels. The boys had secured the money from the plumbing shop cf Serniak's father In Mayfield, where the boys live and whence they had wended their Steps in quest of adventure. The police turned the lads over to the House of Detention.

They will be given a hearing in juvenile police court this afternoon and their parents will be asked to come down from Mayfield to take the boys home. Each of the boys blamed the other for running, each saying the other ias 'fraid of the copper." MEMORIAL SERVICE FOR Co. L.

Emerson. Ripened by Electricity. More than twenty years ago Sir Wil liam Siemens exhibited fruits and plants that had been ripened by being exposed to eletcric lights, iater, fro fessor Lenstrom, of the Helsington university, tried the same experiments and found that crops grown under electrical conditions were above the average in quality.

For some time it has been a common practice of the peasants In trance to set up a network of iron wires above their fields with a small lightning conductor in the center. The atmosperic electricity thus obtained increases the crops by no les than 50 per cent. In weight, it Is said, and stimulates the growth of cereals In even greater proportion. Until recently most of the experiments in this line were done abroad. For some years past, however, one of the principal market gardners of Massachusetts has used electric light and electric energy in the cultivation ot vegetable beds of various kinds, with truly astonishing results.

He first experimented in lettuce growing five years ago. A copper plate was sunk in the loam of the bed at one end of a greenhouse. The plate was connected by an overhead wire to a zinc plate in the bed at the other end, A current was thug caused to flow between the two plates through the earth, acting in the same way as an ordinary electric battery. Lettuce was also grown in another bed some distance away and shielded from electricity. The plants grown in the first bed ripened from a week to ten days earlier than the lettuce in the ordinary bed and were much larger.

This saving was very great, for the capacity of a single greenhouse was from 30,000 to 40,000 plants and in addition the bed was ready for the planting of a new crop a week earlier, The two beds were watched mos: carefully and many facts were gather ed concerning their growth, all of them favoring the bed where the elec trical assistance was used. Mushroom, Good and Had. Of the G000 fungi of the Fnited States three are poisonous. further three unwholesome, but the larger number of the rest afford as appetizing and nutritious food as man could ask. In the shops cultivated mushrooms bring from 50 cents to $1 a pound Many of the wild ones are finer flavored and are to be had for the gathering.

six bad varieties of the mushroom family prevent the utilization of 6000 good ones and yet it is easy to distinguish the poisonous kinds, nor difficult to identify the others. The trouble is that the works treating of the fungi are rare and costly, hence not to be found outside of libraries. Here is a field fop public interven tion and some oT the states have recognized this. The state of New York has published a volume, beautifully illustrated, describing the fungi found growing within its territory. T.

C. Clements, state botanist of Min nesota, has Issued the fourth volume of "Minnesota Plant Studies," which deals with the mushrooms of that state. He describes over 300 varieties. The three deadly amanitas (phalloid, vernal and fly) are figured and described, so that they could not fail to be recognized by any person of average intelligence.
