Youth and vigor, with elastic step,

race is subject. 1t is truly said that
what prevents the successful colonial
ton of many tropical countries, and
what throws the greatest obstacle in
the way of civilization and of good
government in vast regions of central
Africa, is not climate, not distance
from home, and not unfriendliness or
the part of the natives. The obstacle
is malaria, and nov we find that the
prevalence of malaria, so far as man is
concerned, depends on the mosquito.
and that this pestilent little insect, in
addition to irritating and annoying, is
the means by which the poison of ma
laria is propagated and distributed. For

1t is generally supposed that the
machine is quite a modern
invention, but there is a record in the
archives of the English Patent Office
for 1714 of an application for a patent
for such Il machine. Exactly 100 years
later the firm of Balm X Wri ght APP
piled for similar grant, and the CON
struction of their machine afforded a
basis that enabled Il Mr.. Thurber, at
Worchester. to improve the system.
In the year 1915, n Frcnchman of the
name of Foucall obtained an English
patent for very ingcniously conceived
writing machine which was shown
in London the same year, and created

Very few people realize at what ire
mendOus heights birds sometimes
traverse the air OF course. most of
the common British songsters, the
thrushcs and warblers. do not as rule
rise higher than the tree-tops except
when migrating; then they fly at an
average height of 200 feet or 300 feet
higher or lower. according to the pre-
vailing currents. HeronS and wild
ducks. geese and swans when travel
ling long distances fly at greater
heights. often as much as 1000 feet.
But it is the hawk, and more par
ticularly the vulture tribe. that con
stantly wing the air at far greater
limits than these. The common buZ-
Zard spies for carrion suspended a
mile above the earth, and the great
condor of the Andes has been watched
through a powerful telescope floating
at the amazing height of 21,0OO feet,
over five miles. above the sea level.

Probably the most satisfactory in
expensive rug is one of body Brussels
carpet. These are usually kept in
stock at the large carpet houses, made
from remnants as they accumulate.
They can be had in various sizes from
square of nine feet or even some
what less in size that will serve in a
large room. They come, too, in beau
tful Persian patterns, and well made
as they are. with borders carefully
matched and seams lined and pressed,
they are both handsome and durable.
good domestic Smyrna costs n little
more, and has the added advantage
of use on both sides. The ingram art
squares are not to be recommended in
room where the wear is at all seri-
Gus. They are useful and effective,
as they come in excellent designs, for
light service. their extreme chcapness
being another advantage. The i'm
ported rugs of this character are more
durable. as they ought to be. costing
twice as much or more, but their pat
terms are rather dull. and their grade
of colors limited and difficult to tone
with furnishings. Jute rugs are to be
found in most attractive patterns and
in variety of cOlorings dark and
light, and at very low price. They
should be purchased, however, with
the knowledge that their wearing
qualities are very poor.

UNHEALTHY FED CLOTHES.
Rendered Deadly by Devices of the Nam
ufacturpr to In crease Weight


Science Thy name is adulteration.
Another terror has been added to exist
ence by the revelation made by an
English trade paper of the processes by
which certain manufacturers "fill'' the
sheets and blankets with which they
flood the market. We are told that af-
ter a piece of waste sheeting has been
woven the cloth is passed over trough
containing a solution of zinc, sulphate
of magnesia commonly known as Ep-
som salts) and water This is called
sprinkler. A revolving brush plays a
spray of these noxious ingredients
upon the cloth, with the result that a
fifty-pOund piece after the operation
weighs seven and one-half pounds more
than when it left the loom. AS the
goods are sold by the pound the object
is evident. But what about the pur-
chaser? A piece cuts up into ter pairs
of sheets. Each plir, therefore, con-
tains three-quarters of a pound of
misunderstanding material. The re-
suits are appalling. AS soon as a wet
day comes the SHEETS become damp
and the luckless wight who sleeps be-
tween them is apt to contract chill
that may send HI m to the bourne
whence no traveller returns. Even if
suspicious are arol sed and he boldly
casts aside the sheets and wraps him
self in the blankets it may avail him
nothing. For the blanket makers have
learned the trick, and the same Hire
suits may ensue. Next we shall hear
that the counterpart makers are equal
ly astute. and the mid sleeper may be
driven to provide himself with the wool
en- sleeping bags that suggest travels in
the furthest north. The only advantage
of these filled" or h cavity sized" sheets
and blankets is that they are death to
insects. But if they kill the sleeper
as well as the pulex irritants-to say
nothing of the elm exlectularius-wh
boots it?
