Likes Carson People

Corporal Evans writing to the Wood
land Mail says:
The people of Carson have been quite
good t" us, especially the local Red Cross
society. They have given US an open air
concert and entertainment once a eek.
and the beautiful women and Young
ladies are quite conspicuous by their pres
ence i'll camp, especially at dress parade
They are not at ali over reserved, but
seem 20 be quite willing to talk to us
and make our camp life as pleasant as
possible by their presence and their
genial lady like ways. They do not hest
tate to introduce the ladies of their ac-
~quaintance to us and by these acts Of
kindness we have become acquainted
with a large number of Carson people
and Carson seems to become more and
more like home 1t is needless to say
that we appreciate it. God bless you
kind friends, your acts of kindness will
never be forgotten.

Artesian Well Machine.

An eight-horse team arrived in Carson
yesterday afternoon with the big aries
ian well machine Purchased hy Douglas
County Artesian Well co. eight years
ago. There has been no demand for ar
tesian wells since it was bought and the
machinery has lain idle most of the time
since; but the present drought has
created a demald for water which will
doubt keep the machinery busy

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR NOTES

Tomorrow's Christian Endeavor topic is
"Christ's Mission on Earth" and many of
the District societies have planned to have
missionary meetings. The Scripture lesson
is John 10. I-1S, and on this the Rev.
Teunis s. Hamlin,/ DID. pastor of the
Church of the Covenant, this city, and one
Of the trustees of the United Society Of
Christian Endeavor. says: Our Lord here
distinctly defines His mission; He came
that we might have overfowing life; and
whoever of us lives meageriy, pinched and
half starved as to grace, does SO only be
cause he falls to accept what Christ came
to bring to every believer"

Church has unanimously chosen Miss Flor

From the Pittsburg Tines
The Pittsburg Bank for Savings has is
sued a little leafiet on the subject of saw
fngs banks in schools. and the matter pre-
sented is worthy of reading. One great
fault with the American people is the want
of economy. Money received on pay day
is parted with unsystema tically but COM
pletely, before the next sum is due. and in
large number of American homes where
thrift should reign and a tidy sum should
always be on hand there is a continual and
needless struggle to pay the bills that are
regularly coming due. The chief idea of a
school savings bank is not the accumula-
ton Of money by the childish patron but to
acquire the habits Of economy that are thus
taught. u
In matters Of money the average man
and woman are children They have a dol
lar, and they see something that it will
buy. The dollar goes. The prudent way of
getting value for that dollar would be to
weigh the advantages Of the many things
that dollar would buy and to select the
most valuable one. Money is worth what
something of more value than what it will
bring today there Is profit in waiting un-
til next week before parting with it. II the
school savings bank can impress this upon
the mind of the child benefit greater than
imagined will be conferred. The child who
learns the use OF money and to keep his
money until he gets value for 1t is the most
useful citizen, other things being equal. He
is always a reserve force. and when panic
comes it is he who supplies the power that
tides over. Were all people thrifty there
would be no serious panics and no great
save against an emergency and do not save
is the difference between comparative COM
fort and the Intermittent poverty of hard
times.

She hovered weakly between him and
the door. The shrill little voice within
kept on insistently and helped them out.
The professor deposited the drowsy baby
carefully on the floor and laid his watch
on top of it with propitiatory intent. Then
he faced the little woman boldly.
Il didn't mean to run away with 1t. l
thought she was there, too-hOper-may die
if l didn't think 50, little woman. But the
little chap is safe enough. l took care of

baby Oh, where did you get this one?
What have you dOne?
She was down the floor beside the
soiled. tumbled baby, peering into its little
puckered face and lingering the tiny moist
hands. 1t was a baby, anyhow, however
it got there.
Cousin Agatha's got the baby?-this isn't
cousin Agatha's baby?" mumbled the pro-
fessor stupidity. Then reviving sudden
ly hers was the black one. There wasn't
any other white baby but this. 1 guess |

''Oh, Pom, wat-do wait, You've got

the professor, getting mental view of the
putting train into focus. His hair rose in

THE MOSQUITO SONG.
Caused by Action of Wings md tho
insects breathing.


You can best observe the mosquito in ac-
ton by letting one settle undisturhed on
the back of your hand and waiting while
she fills herself with your blood: Won ca,
easily watch her doing so with pocket
lens. Like the old lady in "Pickwick
she is soon swelling w!sibly" She gorges
herself with blood, indeed, which she
stra!Ghtway digests, assimiiates and con-
Verts INTO 100 eggs But IL, while She is
sucking, you gently and uaobtrusiyeiy
tighten the skin of your hand hy clench-
ing your list hard You will find that she
cannot any longer withdraw her mandi-
bies; they are caught last iii your flesh %,
thelr own harpoon-like teeth. and there
she must stop accordingly ill ynu cno,sa
to release her. If you then XIII her i'm ,he
usual manner by smart slap OF she land
You Will see that she is literally f,5ll of
blood, having sucked a good drop of it,
Inc hummlng sound itself by which the
mosquito announces her approaching visit
is produced by two distinct manners The
ueeper notes winch go to make up her
drcnlng song are due to the rapid vibra-
tion or the female insects wings as she
flies; and these vibrations a,e found nv
means OF a siren ian instrument which
measures the frequency of the waves in
notes. to amount TO about 5000 in a min
ute The mosquitoes wings must thare-
lore, move with this extraordinary randi
lty, which sufficiently accounts for the diff
hcuity we have in catching one.
But the higher and shriller notes of the
complex melody are due to special stridu-
lating organs situated like little drums on
the openings OF the air tubes; for the adult
mosquito breathes no longer by one or two
air entrances on the tail or back, like the
larva, but by a number of sDiracIes as
they are called, arranged in rows along
the sides of the body and communicating
with the network of internal air chambers
The curious mosquito music thus eener-
ated by the little drums serves almost be-
a q ~
male mosquitoes. for II is known that the
long hairs on the antennae of the males
vibrate sympathetically in union with the
notes of a tuning fork, within the range
of the sounds emitted by the female. In
other words, hair and drums Just answer
to one another. We may, therefore, rea-
sorably conclude that the female sings in
order to please and attract her wandering
mate, and that the antennae of the mate
are organs of hearing which catch and
respond to the buzzing music she pours
forth for her lovers ears. A whole swarm
of gnats can be brought down. indeed, by
Ittering the appropriate note of the race;
you can call them somewhat as you can
call male glow worms by showing a light
which they mistake for the female.
