answers very well, and 1 quart of it may 
be taken in lieu of the hard soaps. 
In limestone regions, or where the water 
is very hard, some of the soap will com¬ 
bine with the lime or magnesia in the 
water, and more or less of the oil will be 
freed, especially when the emulsion is di¬ 
luted. Before use, such water should be 
broken with lye, or rain water employed. 
For use on locust trees, dilute 1 gallon 
of emulsion with 2 gallons of soft water. 
Pure kerosene and pure petroleum will 
effectually kill the insects, but may do 
some damage to the bark of the trees. 
Experiments with carbolic emulsion in¬ 
dicate that this preparation is of no value 
to kill the young grubs. 
According to Dr. Howard, Chief of the 
Bureau of Entomology, the brown and ap¬ 
parently dying condition of the yellow or 
black locust trees in the States of Virginia, 
Maryland, Pennsylvania, West Virginia 
and Ohio is caused by the insect known as 
the locust leaf beetle. Nearly every sum¬ 
mer the brownish appearance of these 
trees attracts attention and causes consid¬ 
erable inquiry and some alarm. However, 
with a few exceptions, the trees recover 
and come out fresh and green the follow¬ 
ing spring. 
A more complete description of the lo¬ 
cust borer and methods for its control may 
be obtained from Circular No. 83 of the 
Bureau of Entomology, which is written 
by A. D. Hopkins, in charge of Forest In¬ 
sect Investigations. The bulletin contains 
photographs of the borer. 
Old Clocks and Their Makers 
(Continued from page 304) 
scruple by the clock-makers of the neigh¬ 
borhood, and a group of clocks, all made 
by other makers than Terry, are shown 
on the first page of this article. The two 
which flank the tall one in the center are 
clocks with stamped brass works, by Seth 
Thomas and Chauncey Jerome. The size 
of the clocks had begun to shrink, you see, 
for these clocks are later than the wood¬ 
works clocks. All these clocks are owned 
by one collector in Kinsman, Ohio. 
Two tall clocks, also owned in Kinsman, 
are shown in the lower left-hand cut on 
page 304, both thirty-hour wood works, 
the one at the right made by Riley Whit¬ 
ing, of Winchester and Winstead, Conn., 
a maker who was at work till 1835, and 
the other by A. Merrell, a name which I 
have not met before. The home-made 
cases are interesting and are still in good 
condition. 
Chauncey Jerome has also a large claim 
to consideration for his inventions in clock 
works, since he it was who first considered 
the idea of making a one-day clock with 
brass works. This was about 1837. In
