RAISING MEAL WORMS.
A Profitable Industry That Perhaps
Affords "a Puzzle for NaturaIists.
From the Denver Republican.

From the Denver Republican.
A worm farm is one OF the features in
a store e. f. Achert runs at 1915 Seven
tenth street. Mr.. Achert and his wife
have been in the worm raising industry
in Denver for over twenty years; never
theless no account of their farm has yet
appeared in the state agricultural reports
This happened, perhaps, because 1t is
the only institution Of it's kind in the coun-
try, and was overlooked on account of
its novelty.
The worms are chiefly bred to furnish
food for hooking birds, and about 300
Denver people who own feathered mimics
of this variety are regular customers of
the Achert farm. All soft-billed birds
nightingales, thrushes, black BIRDS etc.
eat the kind of worm the Acherts raise
but there are not many of these birds
in Denver, so the Achert farm provides
delicacies almost solely and entirely for
the hooking bird tribe
Although Mr.. and Mrs. Achert call their
worm plant farm, there is very little of
the agricultural about it. 1t looks more
like a chiffonier than a ranch Standing
in the middle of the little shop is large
wooden contrlvance, fitted out with four
drawers. Each drawer is filed to the
brim with moving, living mass. on the
top of each wrggling heap Is a heavy lin
en- cloth, eaten through here and there
into holes. Out of nearly every hole just
now sticks the brown head of a wriggling
meal worm.
Az explained by f. +. Achert, the pro-
cess of raising meal worms for the feed
of soft-billed birds is quite a complicated
business. The history of the Denver farm
is also interesting. To begin with the
Acherts came to Denver twenty years ago,
bringing with them a pair Of mocking
birds In the old country feed for the
pets was easily obtained in the Touring
mills. They ate q yellowish worm, which
seems to generate and breed in ground
meal. flour and bran. After arriving in
America the Acherts could obtain none
of these worms. They did not seem to
grow here, and they had a hard time
keeping their birds alive, ignorant as
they were of what other food the mock
ing bird would eat.
1t happened that after a couple of
months stay in Denver, Mrs. Achert was
called back to Germany and before leav-

A CHAPTER ON DEADHEADs.

A sEMICOLON BEFORE SUPREME
COURT.
Legal Treatise OnPunctuatiOn or n
Changed Method Needed.
From the Indianapolis journal.


From the Indianapolis Journal
II appears that If the matter had been
correctly reported. the force of law
before the supreme court for construction
depends upon a semicolon. That mark
OF punctuation may change the whole
tenor OF an important act in the legisla-
ture. II is not the first time that the
semicol1n has made trouble in laws a
semicolon in two or three sections OF
tariff laws has led TO decisions hostile to
the revenue and to home industries. It
was some trouble of that nature in the
Morrill, tariff act which gave the tin
plate industry TO Great Britain. IL was a
semiColOn which caused thousands TO be
refunded to the importers of Women's
hat trimmings. though the intent OF those
who passed the law was perfectly clear.
In these instances, and probably in
the law of Indiana, over whose semicolon
the supreme court is said to be cogitat-
ing, the trouble seems to arise from an
inability to fix the function of the semi
colon. In the rules of punctuation In the
old WebSter's spelling book the comma
indicates "a pause long enough 10 count
one and the semicOlon IA pause long
enough to count two, the colon three.
and the period -four" with a fall OF the
voice. II those who have been writing
rules for punctuating compositions had
stopped there. we would not have had all
this trouble but these teachers have been
going on making new rules for years I'M
til no one can undertake TO FOLLOW them
but each punctuates according to his
pleasure. rather than his familiarity with
rules. Many writer's have adopted the
plan OF punctuating as little as possible
leaving the reader to gather their mean
ing from their clearly constructed sent
ences, rather than from the intersection
of commas and semicolons. Unfortu-
natey, the Verbosity and tintricacy OF
the language and construction, or lack OF
construction, in which statutes are writ
| ten, renders punctuation necessary. This
being the case, IL seems that so much
trouble comes from the indiscriminate use
of punctuation marks that there should
be legal treatise on that subject netin-
| ing the force Of the different marks as
they are scattered through the statutes.
II this cannot be done, why should not

Daughter of Judge Thurman Said

Gold.
From the Philadelphia Press.
Los Angeles, Dec. 9.--News comes from
the Colorado desert mining camp of Pr
calcho. near Yuma, that Mary Thurman,
now Mrs. Halliday, daughter of Judge
Thurman, has made the richest gold strike
known in any of the desert camps for
years She was prospecting in the hills
and found a vein that promises to make
her a bonanza queen.
Mary Thurman was once the belle Of
Washington and there she married Lieut..
Cowles, now United States naval attache
in London, who recently welded Miss
Roosevelt sister of the Secretary OF the
United States embassy. Cowles and she
soon disagreed, ana he permitted her to
get divorce. Then she came west TO
San Diego, and lived az TIA Juan, an the
Mexican line. There she met and married
Thomas Clifford, dashing adventuref,
who proved to have a wife and two little
children living. She got divorce from
Clifford, and then surprised her friends By
marrying Bug" Halliday, the base ball
player. She is known in all the mining
camps Of Southern California.

THE Wilmington Fire Department COW
cred itself with glory last evening and
showed that it is fully able to cope with u
big fire. That our fire laddies know no
fear, was fully attested by the manner in
which they went about staying the pro-
gress of the fire at Second and Walnut
streets. That the life of fireman. VIM.
McNeal of the Washington company
should have been sacrificed, although by
an unforeseen accident, is to be deplored.
The loss to Messrs. Baird & Co., Jones Il
Co. and Garrett Il Barr, will, 1t is thought
foot up to over three hundred thousand
dollars. The loss on flushed morocco
stock and machinery will fall heavily on
these three firms. Garrett and Bars fac
tory is total loss, while the other two
factories are nearly Il wreck. Such a large
fire has not taken place in our city for sew
eral years. There seems to be strange
fatality about morocco factories taking
fire, which necessarily makes carrying IN
Insurance upon them very heavy. With
our present volunteer fire department, the
people of Wilmington can rest assured
that if their property gets on fire, it will
be saved if possible.

A reporter Of the journal says that o
prominent Regular Republican remarked
to him that letter Of Addicks' to the
Street and Sewer Department, relative to
the gas plant here, is nothing but big
bluff and bid for votes" He thinks Ad-
dicks does not want to lay pipes, but he
wants to brighten the stockholders Of the
Wilmington Gas Company into selling
out at panic prices whom he will buy the
whole thing up, and then keep out all
competition in the future. His assump-
ton that he is friend of the laboring
man, is ridiculous.
1t may be possible that this Republican
Is fright. At any rate, Addicks is busy
man, as he Is interested In numerous in.
dustriel establishments. He is shrewd
and souothing of q manipulation, yet
many working people have been given EN-
ployment through his enterprise 1t Is
unfortunate, however, that his schemes
sometimes interfere with other parties and
thus give rise to different opinions of the
expedienCy Of their adoption. The effect
upon the interests OF the working peopie
may DO secondary consideration, but to-
day the companies in which he is interest
ed are giving employment to several hun
dred men and thousands of dollars are be-
ing paid out weekly for their benefit. At
any rate it is natural that Addicks should
wish to have this suit disposed of whether
he should ever put down another gas pipe
or expend another dollar among our work
ing people. The matter may be discussed
pro and con and every one can draw his
own conclusions, Addicks, however Will
