POLITICAL ADV. inch WILKES-BARRE COUNCILMEN CRITICISE THEM AND REC-OMMEND THAT THEY BE SUSPENDED. Wilkes-Barre, Aug.

10, Council yesterday severely criticised chauffeurs In the fire department for fast and reckless driving through the streets of the city and recomfnended that such firemen be suspended from duty or discharged. The criticism of the fire drivers came after John Boyle, oi Scranton street, and Frank J. McAvoy, of Loomis street, appeared before the council to complain against Stanley Williams, who drove the auto of Chief Frank Hookrelter up on the sidewalk on July 30, Injuring sons of Boyle and McAvoy. The parents wanted to know If the city would pay the doctor bills. The city solicitor declared the city could not be held liable, but that the driver of the machine could be prosecuted.

The solicitor stated, however, that the city might be able to make some arrangement to help out the parents of the two Injured boys. As a result of the alleged speeding through the streets at a rate entirely too fast council may call upon the police to enforce the ordinance regulating the speed of fire apparatus. BEARINGS.

Jones is placing his hopes for escape from the chair uppn the governor, the pardon board having refused Ao commute his sentence. A petition to the governor for executive clemency is now being circulated by friends of the condemned man. Palma Is renting his hopes upon the pardoi) board, his appeal bejng listed to be heard by that body in September, Of the three condemned men, Palma Is suffering the most from the nerve-racking strain of awaiting a murderer's death. He protests his Innocence and says that he was convicted because he had no friends' or no money. "They are going to put me In the chair! Wont some one save me? he said between Sobs yesterday afternoon.

"I didnt kill Mike. If I killed him, I should be put In the chair, but I didn't have anything to do with it. The other men -who were arrested got away, but I have to go to the chair. I trust In God.

Let whera'er I will, 1 hear a sky born music till. It sounds from all things old; It sounds from all things young. From all thsts fair, from all that's foul. Peals out a cheerful song. It Is not only In the rose.

It is not only lu the bird, 1 Not only when the rainbow flows Nor in the song of woman heard, But in the darkest, meanest things There alway, aiway, something sings. 'Tts not In the high stars alons, Nor in the cup of budding flowers, Nor in the redbreasts mellow tone, Nor In the bow that smiles in showers, But In the mud and scum of things Thers alway, aiway, something sings.

They are like "Home, Sveet Home, and Annie Laurie. We never tirq of those hymd and songs, which appeal'to the heart and emotions, the songs which our mothers sang to us when we were babes. But there are the Gospel hymns. Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6, with a elections of later compositions with the old, which were used at services marking the advent of Moody, Johnson.

Sunday and other noted revivalists. What a power these hymns have had, and are still having. As a writer says, the modern student who analyzes things and picks them to pieces and sees what they are made of, would probably say they had dramatic construction or something of that sort. But at the camp meetings about this time of year, a long time ago, you knew only that somehow they stirred the people. Was it the hymns, was It the religious spirit peculiar to the time, was it the environment of those days that made saints and sinners, old and young, lift, up their voices mightily at the camp meeting and the country schoolhouses? "Hold the Fort For I Am Coming.

Remember it? It was sung mostly at Sunday school In the country sohoolhouse. So was "Whosoever Will a Joyous carol by P. P. Bliss. Safe In the Arms of Jesus was one by Fanny Crosby (the blind poet songstress, who I once heard recite and tell the story of her life In Washburn Street Presbyterian church in West Scranton), the time has served only to mellow like old wine Ring the Bells of Heaven and Revive Us Again" were sung with such spirit that you could almost hear the bells ringing and Burely could see the audience revived.

Only An Armor Bearer who can measure the power set in motion when P. P. Bliss gave the world the simple philosophy In that song? Only an armor bearer, proudly I eland. Waiting- to follow at tha King. command: Marching If "Onward" shall the order be.

Standing by my captain, serving faithfully. And the chorua: Hoar ye the battle cry? "Forward the call. See! See the faltrlng onea! Backward they fall. Surely the captain will depend on me. Though but an armor bearer 1 may be.

How many of the men who have done things In country and cities were spurred by that old song? And there was Beulah Land," "Bringing In the Sheaves, When te Mists Have Rolled in Splendor, "Work for the Night Is Coming," "On Jordans Stormy Banks, "Gathering Home," "Just As I Am, "Lead, Kindly Light." "The Ninety and Nine." My Faith Looks Up To Thee, The Sweet Story of Old," Almost Persuaded, Happy Day "Sweet By and By, and a host of others they are still sung and they carry with them pictures of a time and place awav back In the score of years. Those old hymns of the country schoolhouse and the open-air meeting have a comer all their own In the mental house a corner nothing else could adorn. Old they are, but not worn; always can they be revived in their first sweetness. The Slaves of Ant. Recently there appeared In this department of The Times a couple of articles on the aphidae or plant lice.

There was one interesting feature in the history of the above Insects upon which I touched very lightly, and which Is worth knowing by those readers who care for natural history. The aphids grow In a large number of forms and suck the Juices from various kinds of plants. The most remarkable thing about some of the aphids is their partnership with other insects. Many forms of the aphids are fostered and protected from the beginning to the end of their little lives by the industrious ants. The partnership seema to have reached a most perfect form In the case of the, corn-root aphis and the cornfield ant, and It is usually found that where there are aphids there are ants.

The partnership of ant and aphis operates In nearly every section where corn Is grown east of the Rocky mountains. The workings of the partnership have been compared to a subterranean dairy, with the aphis as the ants cow," the ant directing the enterprise, the aphis doing the work, and the ant getting the profits. The ant is not directly harmful to the corn, but the aphis is. Without the ant, however, the firm would have to go out of business, and that Is tvhv the department of agriculture tells farmers who want to get rid of the corn root-aphis to get rid of the ant. The same advice applies in the case of certain other forms of root-aphids.

This is how the subterranean dairy works: In the fall the ants carry the eggs of the aphids to their nests and care for them as they do for their own young. In the spring, when the eggs hatch, the ants tunnel along weed roots and place the helpless aphids on the roots. Soon the aphids begin to give off honeydew, made from the Juices 'Of the plants on which the aphids are resting. The ants dearly love honeydew, and they tenderlv watch over and care for their "cows. The aphids are wholly dependent throughout their life on the ants.

The first two or three generations of aphids live entirely on the roots of weeds, but as soon as the newly planted.corn sprouts the ants transfer the aphid to the more succulent corn roots. After two or three successive generations, many of the aphids may be winged, and some escape from the ground through the ant tunnels and fly away to a new field. If they chance fo alight near an ant hill they tire seized immediately by the watchful ants, carried Into their burrows, placed oji roots and honeydew" production starts agnin. When cold weather la approaching and the ant carries the aphids eggs and the young ants deeper Into the soil the ant goes at leasCelght Inches under the soil and eight Inches Is deeper than the ordinary plow furrow. The particular aphis that attBcka corn Is called the com root aphis because of Its preference for that plant.

In gardens It Is very common on astepa and related plants. There are many other varieties of apjjds, however, and for many of them ants have a tender feeling. For are the aphids that attack orange Itrees In California.
