Curio .ities About Worms.

A leading authority of the United
Agricultural Department, at Washing
ton. is responsible for the assertion that
there should be at least 50, 900 angle
worms to every acre of fertile farm land.
One of the wonders of the worm
world is Netnatoxis eocena, creature
--tsssalt eats ice with as much avidity as
the silkwork does mulberry or osagt
orange leaves. Professor Plntori, .
Smithsonian Institute authority, of few
years ago, believes that these ice-eating
wonders will finally (on account of ths
rapid increase in the Arctic regions
gnaw through the icebergs and make Q
trip to the pole an easy task.
The earthworms of Cape Colony.
South Africa, specimens of which may
be seen in any well-regulated American
college museum, have a maximum length
Of six feet five inches and are thick ac-
cordlngly. When Mr.. Meer and the
other Dutch explorers FIRST visited the
Good Hope regions these Shiny creatures
were regular article of diet.
In China there is kind of worm that
regularly fall prey to species of para.
site fungus. In the course of time this
fungus pervades the poor worms entire
anatomical structure, converting him in
to woody fibre, in which state he is
esteemed as being valuable medicine.
New Zealand, Australia, the Samoan
and the Solomon Islands, as well as por-
tions of the Hawaiian group, are the
homes of various specimens Of worms
with thick, heavy bodies, and with Q
well-defned ncck connecting the body
with head that is startling reminder
of that of the monkey. In the Sand
wich Islands they are called ssme-ta-lu-
XII" which means sscreeper with
child's head" An old New Zealand le-
gend says that at one time they were q
immense proportions and threatened the
extinction of all human life on the ISL
and. st. Louis Republic.

business population of /. 035, 900, q gain of
twenty-one per cent, the number OF busi-

the principle of having only main lines
operated, which extend between Chicago

to be the garden spot of the world. One
of the most pleasant features to travellers

John Coy of the East End had rather
novel and exciting experience the
other day one which might have ended
badly for him. He was digging well
for A. Il. Earhart and had put a blast
Of dynamite in, and while he was being
drawn out of the well the dynamite ex-
ploded, throwing Mr.. Coy out OF the
well and up in the air about thirty feet
landing him on the roof of Mr.. Earhart's
kitchen. Mr.. Coy sustained no injury
but we are safe in saying that he was
somewhat shaken up and scared. He
doesn't fancy such quick means of being
hoisted out OF well.

Commenting ON errors which creep
into newspapers, the Oil City Blizzard
says: Mistakes are sure to occur in
the best regulated newspaper office now
and then. Articles are printed which
should have been left out, and arti-
cles are left out which should have
been printed. The more or less able
editors have so many things on their
minds that they seldom or never know
where they are at, and sometimes in
mad haste and general confusion things
are printed in advertently which cause
great deal of remorse when remorse
is too late. The worst of it is that the
average reader takes little mistake
too much at heart; he just pines and
sickens and grows pale, when he really
should not breathe single sigh"
