the Queen of Sweden to the Salvation
Army. one of these is to the effect
that her majesty wears the Salvation

Her connection with the army is eX-
planned by Booth Tucker in this way:

II GbaIfLY Dispafcb.

A CHASTITY dispatch is hat from Ber-
lin about the interesting target prac-
tice' going on at the imperial military
grounds, where the experts are test
ing the capacity of the latest Mauser
model. AS targets, says the dispatch,
'several hundreds of pauper corpses
are being used" and it goes on to
describe the frightful effect of the
bullets upon the bodies. If the CORE
spondent had taken the trouble to in
form us how many hundreds of pau
per corpses' constitute the daily sup
ply of Berlin and vicinity, he would
have added a little to the veri-simili-
tude of this extraordinary tale. That
such an experiment might be made
upon one or more dead bodies is con-
5ceivable and would be a proper means
of as%certaining the actual effect of the
bullets. But the "severa hundreds"
~carries the tale into the region of the
grotesque. 1t may be suggested, how
ever, that the German military author
tiles would not hesitate to carry ex-
periments of this kind to any extent
possible. The way in which the Ger
man troops i'll China are described as
Shooting Mauser bullets into living
bodies does not indicate any super
fuous tenderness, whether or not a

alent of a dead German for expert

The center of population is the cen
ter Of gravity of the population of the
country each individual being assumed
to nave the same weight. The method
of determining that enter is as fol-
lows: The population of the country
is first distributed by square de-
grees," as the area included between
consecutive parallels and meridians is
designated. A point is then assumed
tentatively as the center. and the cor
rections in latitude and longitude to
this tentative position are computed.
In 1890 the center was assumed to DE
at the Intersection of the parallel of 80
degrees, with the meridian CT sc de-
grees west of Greenwich. This would
have made the center of population of
the United States just two miles due
north of Seymour, in Jackson county.
Ind. From this assumed base the veri-
fications were made and the true cen
ter was located.
The movement of the center has
been steadily westward. On the ac-
c~ompanying map its %unwavering
march toward the west, with occasion
al dips to the south and the north, is
shown. In 1880 it was east of Balti-
more twenty miles. In ten years It
had moved forty miles westward. The
annexation of Louisiana brought it
south and west, and in 1920 it was
sixteen miles north of Woodstock, Va.

Agricultural Department Tells How to XIII
Insects.
The experts of the Agricultural De
partment have discovered q Contagious
disease which can be disseminated by
insects with deadly effect to the pests,
but without danger of spreading an
epidemic among members of the hui
man race. BY close observation il has
been discovered that many annoying
insects have distemper, some of a high
ly contagious character. BY propagat-
ing these disease germs and spreading
them, so that the insects will be af-
fected, c%ontagion Is spread and havoc
follows. Farmers will be especially in
tereSted in the announcement that a
disease among grasshoppers similar to
leprosy has been discovered and that
experiments conducted in Mississippi,
Nebraska and Minnesota demonstrate
that it is possible to distribute the
germs in walls through the mail, with
instructions to farmers as to the meth
od of using the contents so as to pro-
duce the best results.
The farmer becomes in n short time
the manufacturer Of his own grass
hopper poison. The germs are placed
in a tumbler of water, Il number of
healthy specimens of grasshoppers Sc
lected, immersed, and afterward fed
upon greens that have been dipped in
the water. The disease rapidly devcl-
ops, the g~rasshoppers are given their
liberty and are permitted to spread the
contagion. The scientists believe that
the method of determination will not
be only ~etiicacious in freeing the farm
ers of the harmful grasshoppers. but
that the principle can be adopted with
equal success in driving out other in

as they could do nothing more for her.
She began taking Peruna with the re-
suit that she is better now than she
has been in years. and her cough has
almost left her entirely. The soreness
has left her lungs and she is as well
as she ever was in her life. with
thanks, as she says, TO Peruna. Yours
