Which Snks in Two and a Halt Minutes Alter Striking a Mine or a Torpedo Crew Lost -Torpedo Bost Sunk and Another Ship Injured. Distressing disasters continue to follow the Kussian fleet at IVrt Ar thur in its conflict with the Japanese. List Wednesday another of its large ktttlcships was sent to the bottom, w ith nearly all its crew and the com mander of the licet. Admiral Maka nd!. The Vtniavlovsk tl'ctcr and I'aul' was one of the finest battle ships of the Russian navy, and the lost admiral was her best lighter On the next day the Japanese sank a Russian torpedo boat, and another ship Mas inj urti by a mine. St. Petersburg, April 13.- The aw ful disaster of the Itattleship I'etro pavlovsk at Port Arthur, with the loss of almost her entire crew of over Mill men, and the death of Viee Ad miral MakarolT, has been a terrific blow. It would have fallen less heavily if the shipand thccomnianil-er-ilH'hief had lieell lost ill kittle, but as the result of another accident following u'n the In vis of a succes sion of tragedies of which the Port Arthur fleet has Uvn the victim, it has rivaled something like eonsler natioit. "Kcvcrses we can stand," said a prominent Russian, "hut to have the IVtropavlovsk imrt the fale of the Itoyann and others is heart-breaking." Itcsidcs it has just lieeome known that the battleship Poltava several weeks ago had a hole rammed in her by I he Imttleship Sevastopol, while the latter was maiioeuvering in the harbor of Port Arthur. Vice Admiral Mak'arofTs death is really a greater loss than would lie that of several battleships. He was the pride of the navy and enjoyed the implicit eoiitideuce of his sov ereign as well as of the otlicers and men of the service. Speaking of his ileal h the otlicers here all remarked upon the strange fatality that he should lose his life ou a heavily ar mored battleship to which he had a particular aversion. This morning for the first time he raised his Hag on a battleship. Previously he had gone out on board the cruiser Novik or the cruiser Askold. It was at the urgent ropiest of his friends that he did not risk his life in this fashion, so transferred his Hag to the IVtro pavlovsk. The emperor held such a high opinion of him that he declined to consider other candidates, although it was pointed out that Rear Admiral Rojcstvnsky, chief of Ihe general stall of the navy, who has just been appointed to a rommand in the Hal tii1 squadron, and who is now des tined fo succeed MakarolT, as well as others, were anxious to distinguish themselves. The emperor in his summons to Vice Admiral MakarolT said, "My hoice has fallen on you, and 1 w ill not take a refusal," anil so the admi ral went to Ihe far Kast. The em peror's sorrow is doubly kirn on this accounl. SI.

Ijiter and Exact Account. St. Petersburg, April 15 - Out uf Ihe maze of conflicting reports re garding the seipience of events lead ing up to the destruction of the IV tropavlovsk, it is now established I hat. Viee Admiral .MakarolT, early Wednesday morning, took out his squadron to engage a weak division of six Japanese cruisers which up wared ou the horizon after the Jap anese torpedo Imats, which sank the Hc.strashni. Particulars of the tor pedo lxat fight are still lacking. The Kussian commandei-in chief pursued the Japanese cruiser divis ion until it was reinforced by eleven battleships, when he retired into the outer roadstead, where he was draw ing up in line of battle when the dis aster to the IVtropavlovsk occurred The exact circumstances of the de si ruction of the battleship are not known. It is certain that IhiIIi her boilers and magazines exploded, but it is not absolutely sure that she touched a mine, although the weight of opinion at the admiralty is that such was the case, and if so it was a Kussian, and not a Japanese mine. It is absolutely denied that Admiral MakarolT' s ships participated in a naval engagement. The injuries to the I'obieila arc said to lie slight. The corresK indent of Ihe Associ ated Press learns that twenty-eight otlicers were lost on hoard the IVtro pavlovsk, including ('apt. Vasilieff, lielonging to the ship of Admiral Makaroff; fourteen members of hi staff, including Hear Admiral Moles the chief of staff, and Lieut. Von Kids', the aide-de-camp of Grand Duke Cyril.

The adult, striped liectle apcars in the spring aland the time the im tato comes up, having passed the w inter underground. They U'gin to feed at once on I lie foliage, mate and lay their eggs. The eggs are yellow and laid in clusters of from thirty to fifty, usually on Ihe underside of the leaves. In a few days the egtrs hatch to small, soft Untied, reddish larvae with black head and legs. The larvae are slug like, ami moist of skin, and are very ravenous, doing much more destruction than tin adult beetles. The larvae grow quite rapidly, shedding the skin from time to time to make room for more growth. When fully grown they are of a dull, n ddish pink color. Then they leave the plant and go under the ground where they change to Ihe pupa stage. In this stage the insec! is inactive and takes no food, but is simply U'iiig transformed from the larva to llie adult liectle. Within a week or ten days the pupa trans forms to the adult licet lo which then comes mil ol i tie groinui, auai Ks nil plants, provides for other geneia lions, etc. There is no stage in its existence w hen the insect feeds oil, or lives ill, the tulier of the potato, hence it can not Ik' shipped almut in the seed polalocs, unless it lie that they are simply gathered in bodily in the bar rels in the lield. A single adult female liectle may, in the course of her existence, lay live or six hundred eggs, and as the larvae become ny'iire within four or live weeks, there are. four, live or six generations produced in a season, the exact niniilicr lieing obviously lillicult to determine. In the fall. after the vines are all dead or re moved from the fields and the frosts leirin. the adult liectle, go under ground to pass the winter. If the ame land lc planted m potatoes a t .i i .1 second year, I lie mimes may e e up in the spring at the same time that the potatoes do, thus making it appear that they were in the seed Hitaloes. We have always stated that this could not lie Ihe case. Remedies. l'he rcniedv to lie used against the imtalo Ixi'lle is so simple, sure ami heap that there is no reason wny one should sutler seriously from its attacks. Paris green, applied dry in mixture with air-slacked lime or plaster, or in solution with water anil lime, or in the bordeaux mixture, makes a pcrfirtly safe and sure anti dote. The fears that some have that this will poison Ihe tulicrare abso lutely without foundation, although if used to loo great strength the poison is apt to have a burning ef fect upon the foliage of the plants. I,et us consider the three methods mentioned. Paris (iicen and Air slacked l.imc Mix good quality of paris green with thoronihlv air slacked lime at rate of one ounce of the green to four pounds of the lime. He sure that il is tlioroudilv mixed. Better mix with the hands, stirring it together again and again until there are no snots or streaks in the lime which show more irreeiiish color than oth ers. Annlv bv sprinkling by hand. or bv shakini: it from sacks made of loose cloth, or wilh a powder-gun or lsdlows.

Mix oIm- miliee of pans ' green with n little M.tti r iu a cup or saucer to form a thin p.Hc ami then wash il all out into the water with the lime. This gives: one miriiv parts green, two oinui-s lime, to ti n gal Ions of water. Apply with a spray pump.

Pour equal parts of the Milestone solution and the lime water together to make the a rfivt liordeaux mixture and mix in paris green at rale of one ounce io every ten gallons. If the bluesli ue and lime solutions are kept separate, thev may lie poured together, in equal quantity, at any time as iiirded lt ing kept .separate, each will keep through the season, but once the two .ire poured together to make the lior deaux, it should lie used within forty eight hours. Apply with regular sprav iug pump. or with watering pot if pump is Hot to lie had. The advantage of Ihe Imrdiaux mixture and paris green over the others is that it is a remedy for blights as well as the licctles, and thus by proltvlmg Ihe plant from a niniilicr of enemies at once the gen eral vigor and health is so improved that the yield is much heller. The w riter is strotiglv of the opinion that our potato-growers would do well to spray their potatoes thnr or four times each season with Imiileaux and paris green. The first application; should lie made as soon as the plants are well started, the second, ten days; two weeks later, an I the third. or two weeks after tlic second, llie Idea lieing lo kivp the phut well protect ed by continuous app'iealious so that the lurtles will not have a chance to gel started. If you have doubts almut the rem edies here siigg'stcd, why not try one or more of theiu on one-half of your patch and let the other half go as you have done liefore'r' Then, when you sir plainly just what the results are, let me know.
