The Aumid weather, of which we have superanuudanee in this locality, will destroy them ere many years have passed. This is the general complaint. Recently, however, patent has been taken cut in Germany for the treat ment of articles of plaster ef paris with an aqueous solution of ammonium borate. for the purpose of hardening them and rendering them insoluba in water The process referred to is said to give results decidedly superior to anything that has heretofore been pro- posed.

HAIR PLANTING.
Successful Experiments of a Turkish
 Physician.

Physician.
 4 Turkish physician has been ex- perimenting successfully on the trans planting of hairs one by one to bald parts of the scalp His results seem to show that there is no impessibility in the complete renewal Of a lost head of hair by this means. The physician. Dr. Menahem Hodara, according to foreign paper, tried his experiments in the case of a disease that had re- moved part of his patients hair. His plan was to scarify the bare surface and to implant thereon hairs removed from other parts of the patients head. I he aairs used for the purpose were ! with scissors at each end.
 ar weeks after implantation
 number of the hairs were f to have taken root, and in no lol time a gocdly new crop was pro- dueed Encouraged by these results, pr Hodara has since applied the method in other cases of badness fol- lowing faHus, and he thinks himself justified iu stating that "elinieally there can be no doubt as to this very curious faet-that small bundles of har stems cut with scissors and iHl- planted in the iheisions made with the seaTiaeH can take root and grow. form- ing in tlme long and visible hairs.

copenhagen,s War Against Rats.

So great a nuisance have the rats recently become in Copenhagen that efforts are being made to exterminate them. In order to encoura ge the new occupation of rat hunting for profit and pleasure combined, a premium Of 10 ore per rat is being paid for every one of the rodents prodsseed whole but dead. For the past three weeks war against the rats has been waged. In the first week 6,094 were officially re- corded as killed; the number grew to 6.616 in the second week, and for the last week it had swelled to 6,780. It is hoped to reach a weeks mortality among the rats of 10000 in two or three weeks unless the supply becomes exhausted in the meantime. It is pro- posed to extend the rat-catching op- eration to the whole country. The crusade has become of national in. terest.

 Maine Coast Pay None.


 Maine Coast Pay None.
 Lond's island an the coast Of EIaine, near historic Pemaquid, in the Lincoln county town of Bristol. is one of the very few places on earth where there are no taxes. This island, otherwise known as l6uscongus, was overlooked When Maine became . state, and was put into no town or county. It Is said that during the war the people cast their votes for tine i'll the town of Bristol until some election officer dis covered the iilegality of the vote. The island was first settled by John Loud. q deserter from a British man-of-War. and his at-grandehildren are now prominent inhabitants. By voluntary contributions school Is maintained, the parents paying $4 for each child. The school cerm averages eight months in each year, and there is an average attendance Of eighteen scbolars. Catch ing bait for the fishermen of Boston, Gloucester and Per is the most profitable business Of the people, out when bait is slaeA in running they turn their attention to lobstering. maekerel fishing and catching porgies for the big oil and fertilizing factory opposite the island in Bristol. After successful haul of bait large white flag is hoisted on the high ground in the center of the island With a glass it may be discovered far out at sea, whence come the Grand Bankers and

POINTERS ON MOSQUITOES.
Iaie Is Musician, but Female Is
 HlocGtElfrstE


 BIoodthirsty.
 When 6 nan hears for the first time that it is the female mosquito that does all the biting 1t makes him feel right glad. Further comfort is afforded 5y the knowledge that the male mos quito has probably the keenest musical seasibilities Of any of his class of in= seets. He has quite brush of hairs 9n his antennae and with them he hears. Mayer stuck one of his kind on q glass plate and sounded tuning forks about. When one tone was made certain hairs would vibfate. while all the otherz were still Another tone would atart another set to vibrating, and so on. Also. if the tuning fork ere at one side Of the mosquito, the hairs on that antennae trembled most violently so that when tue male hears or, rather, feels-the voice of his be- ioyed in one antennae. he wheels about SC that vibration is equal in both and flies straight ahead to meet her. That IS about al there is to the male mos quito, though, except that he cannot bite, for the sufficient reason that he has nc apparatus with which to saw through the skin. So 10 speak, he has the pumps, but no drill But the fe- male is thoroughly equipped for get ting through even g politicians hide. Tie cnly mystery is wha5 possesses her to want to bite at all. How did she come by her harkering for blood? The scientists give il ID If sine laid her eggs ill the wound. like tie zcarrion fly, it would be easy to answer tie question, but she doesn't If she stung to defend herself. like the wasp, il would be easy. It must be her brutal passion for blood that prompts her to attack helpless human beings. She cannot get this craving by inheritance, for the chances are that none of her ancestors as far back as William the Gonqueror ever had a taste of human blood, and yet sit out On your front stoop of an evening, and 8 mosquito, not half an hour out of the water, will make as straight for you as if she had been born for that purpose. When one thinks of the great clouds of these torments that live and die in swamps where no warm -blooded animal ever comes, for fear of being mired. one can easily believe the estimate of entomol- ogists that not one in a million ever samples red b1ood.-Ainslee' Maga- zine
