utflity of Mosquitoes.

The utility of the mosquito has been
fully demonstrated by entomologists.
Born and reared in pestilential swamps,
this insect does valuable work by con-
suming animal and vegetable matter
which. if allowed to decompose, would
still further poison the air.

Llquld AIR,


Many scientists are devoting their
attention to the difficult task of
rapidly and cheaply liquefying air.
This, when accomplished, will be of
great value for many purposes, of
which refrigeration and the moving
Of engines, stationary and locomo-
tive, are the most important. By the
most successful method hitherto
used a German experimenter was
able, with a copper tube apparatus
weighing 1872 pounds and a pressure
averaging more than 100 atmos-
pheres, to liquefy air in two hours
without resorting to auxiliary cool
ing expedients. BY means, however,
of a machine exhibited last month
before the Dublin Royal society,
liquid air was produced in 25 min
utes. The air pressure in this case
was less than 81 atmospheres and
the apparatus weighed only 20
pounds. The liquid air was not in
quantity large enoughto be of COM
meroial Importance, but the system
was a marked Improvement over all
its predecessors Exchange.

Many of our farmers have had to
replant their corn. This will cause a

The Fool and Els None,

There is another old saying that
"the gods give us everything for
TOLL" Those who are outside of the
class of fools ought to ponder this
saying. There is no royal road to
anything. We get everything by
toll. We get it in no other way. The
notion that you can drop 500 in a
slot and draw out $25 a week profits
is,so utterly preposterous, 80 wildly
absurd, that it is difficult to think
of any man in his right senses be-
ing deceived by it. But many are
deceived by it. To all to whom this
warning may come, we say,
Don't" There is no operation Of
anything in civilization that can
yield such profits. The suggestion
that somebody has mysterious in
formation by which he knows Of
deals and combinations that are
making, and SO shrewdly buys ahead
and then turns around and buys
back, and thus catches the market
coming and going, g quite of a piece
with the fantastic notion that profits
of rs per cent a week, or 5 pen cent
a week, OF 800 per cent a year, or 80.
per cent a year, can be paid on in
vestment. Indianapolis News.

Color Photography.

While most photographers are
probably still inclined to view with
suspicion or with positive incredul-
ity the claims made by its inventor
for the Chassagne process Of pro-
ducing pictures that duplicate the
colors as well as the forms of nature
by a purely chemical operation, yet
some presumably hard headed Eng
lish capitalists have demonstrated
their entire confidence in the Pa
risian's solution Of this old problem
by purchasing from him the patent
rights which he has obtained or ap-
piled for in all the countries that
grant such rights. The syndicate's
plan Is to keep the process a strict
monopoly. No one will be allowed
to buy the formulas for preparing
the four liquids by the use Of which
the colored photographs are pro-
duced, but in each country one or
more agencies will be established
where the liquids will be sold and
Instruction in their employment
given: It will cost some money to
secure such an agency.

 And echoed through the plain, "No more does moody fortune
 frown--
 The president is home again." And from the east and from the

 "rhe president is home again." The older statesman of renown Sets out to lead the hopeful train That cries, "Once more the bars are
 down!
 The president is home again!" And mighty armies join the quest. They're coming, seventeen abreast, To pick the places they like best. The president is home again! Washington Star.
