"A Remarkable Voyage.

The arrival at Manila OF the squad
ron comprising the gunboat Annapolis
and the ocean tugs Frolic, PiscataQua.
and Wampatuck, which sailed from
Hampton roads early last winter. com
pletes a remarkable voyage. This Is
the longest trip ever accomplished by
such tiny naval craft and was prob
ably never equaled by similar war
ships. The distance covered was near
ly t%wo-thirds around the world. cross
ing n ocean, skirting the southern
part of Europe, thence through the
tornado seas of the Indian ocean, down
to the Philippines at a season when
~typhoons are usual. There have been
trips OF small ships across the Atlantic
and once an old monitor was sent
around to San Francisco by the Horn.
but no vessels of such light displace-
ment have yet covered SO much dan
gerous water ares as the little squad
ron of American boats.

Testing warninxs at Sea.

Twenty-Five years have elapsed
since Prof. Tyndall. at the instance OF
the Trinity House corporation, car
ried out a series OF experiments at the
South Foreland. near Dover, England,
to determine the value OF various
sounds as warnings to the mariner OF
his approach to dangerous spots IN
thick weather. The result was a large
increase in the number OF fog signals
all round the British coast. Much
knowledge has been acquired and
many new inventions have been made
in the intervening period. and q spe-
cial committee OF the elder brethren
of the Trinity House. assisted by Lord
Rayleigh and other eminent scien-
lists and engineers have been en-
gagged for some time In making elab-
crate tests Of all the latest improve
ments In the different kinds OF APP
paratus for making cautionary noises.
The scene OF their operations Is the
Isle OF Wight. One Of their chief OBJ
iects Is to determine the relative mer-
It's OF reeds and sirens as sound pro-
ducers. Much attention. also. has
been given to the trumpet and various
notifications OF that instrument.
Other careful experiments are to de-
termine the carrying capacity. In GER
tain conditions Of notes Of differen!

nation OF sound of the conformation
OF the coast line, etc. Another point
to be considered is the question Of the
most effective and the most economical
utilization OF powcr.-New York Post

Drsstic Anti. Gsmblins Laws.

Some little time ago the Belgian
chamber OF deputies passed a some
what drastic anti-gambling law. The
bill has reached the upper house, and
Is being discussed in a somewhat
acrimonious tone, and meeting consid-
cradle opposition. Some OF the e n
alors point out that gambling Is in
herent to human nature, and that II
the law were carried into effect II
would tend to foster clandestine
gambling-houses on an extensive scale.
This argument has been put forward
before, but where the shoe really
pinches seems to lie In the fact that
the fashionable watering place OF Os-
tend would be the principal sufferer.
The casino there ranks with the fam
Gus gambling hell at Monte Carlo. and
many Of the senator's are said to be
financially interested, and hence their
opposition. 1t Is claimed that II the
casino were abolished the loss to the
town would lie between ~, 500 900 and
81, 900. 900. and that most Of the public
works now In progress would have to
be abandoned as they were undertaken
on the strength OF the de-
rived from the gaming tables.

fact that there are eighteen mountain
peaks more than $500 feet In height

glories OF Lake Champlain, which

fourteen miles wide. or all the New

Tho Laughing Plant of Arabla.

The laughing plant Is a native OF
Central and Eastern Arabia. II gets its
name, not because the plant laughs,
but because II Is the cause of creating
laughter in any one eating its seeds.
The plant is OF moderate size. with
bright yellow flowers In clusters, and
soft. velvety seed pods, each Of which
contains two or three seeds resembling
small black beans, which, II eaten,
produce effects analogous TO those OF
laughing gas. The flavor OF the seeds
10 somewhat like that Of opium; they
taste sweet, while their odor produces
a sickening sensation. The seeds are
p~ulverized and taken in small doses.
Any one taking them begins to laugh
loudly and boisterously, and then
sings, dances, and cuts all kinds OF
fantastic capers. The effects continue
for about an hour, and. when the X
citment ceases, the exhausted individ-
ual falls into a deep sleep, on awaken
ing from which he Is utterly uncon-
scious OF any such demonstrations hav-
ing been made by him when under the
influence Of the seeds Of the laughing
plant.

HOW TO KILL MOSQUITOES.

IL Is the experience Of the average
housckceper in Philadelphia that no
matter how thoroughly the doors and
windows OF "a house are screened, mos
Quitocs will get inside. Many Of them
do not understand that a small pool Of
stagnant water In a cellar or water
standing in pitcher plants is a birth
place for thousands Of mosquitoes. In
flower vases on the table, where the
water Is not frequently changed, mos
quito Eggs are found In great numbers.
Applications of kerosene oil will stop
that. The general question Is how to
get the small insect pests out OF the
house when once they are In. TO per-
sons of careful habits chlorine gas Is
recommended. Pour into a plate on
tainipg four teaspoonsfuls Of chloride
Of lime about ten drops of crude sui
phuric acid. This liberates the chlorine
gas which Is said to kill the mos
Quitoes. The plan car be used only II
rooms not temporarily occupied, or In
which the gas vapors can be allowed
to remain for several hours. The burn
ing Of pyrethrum powders In a room
will also kill them. The powder should
be moistened and then made into lit
tie cones, which are dried In the oven

WESTERN WATER FARMING.
wIsoonsin's Many Lakss Give Promise

1919
Of 0reat Promo.
Scientists who make II their business
to look ahead into the far future are
now busy telling what will happen
after all the land In the United states
has been put under cultivation. When
there are nj NOR quarter sections up
on which the settler can establish him
self, IL IL predicted that water farm
ing Will become a general occupation.
This information Is comforting to resi-
dents OF Wisconsin. No state In the
Union has better facilities for water
farming than the one famous for the
number and beauty of its lakes. When
the time comes for men TO fence OF
acre plots on the crystal waters of the
inland sea Wisconsin will have a
boom worth while waiting for with pa
thence. or course there will he draw
backs TO water farming, but the in
dustry. offers great possibilities. Al
though II will be difficult to keep ones
crop OF fish from being mixed with
ones %neighbors', there will be no plow-
ing or narrowing, no wrestling with
stumps, and no trouble over irrigation.
After the fish arc planted each seaso
there will be nothing to do but to wait
until harvest time. BY a little diplo-
matte advertising water farmers may
persuade city men to spend their v
cations on the lakes az assistants dur
ing this harvest season. Households
on the water farms would be idea
places of residence during the no,
months. II Is estimated that the fsh'
cries Of the United States produce food
OF the value Of $45, 900 900 every year
As o as the water farming industry
has a good start, Wisconsin Will bt
able to add millions to this amount
IL the calamity bowler cannot find any

calls attention To the peculiar and per-

since the earliest time. The Deiugr
lasted for forty days and forty nights:
Moses an Elijah tasted forty days; the
Israelites wandered In the desert for
forty years; the spies spent forty days
examining the land Of Canaan, before
making their report; and Jonah. 1t
will be remembered, gave the In
habitants of Nineveh forty days In

repent. The miraculous fast of Moses
and Elijah Is reproduced In that OF
Christ, and the latter Is now observed
by the church In the forty
days Of Lent. The mysterious,
Import Of the iorty-day period
has been recognized in the leg
islation OF France and Of England from
the earliest ages. Louis TX. Of France,
called Saint Louis, established the
Kings Quarantine, during which no
man could avenge an injury. We use
the word quarantine to signify, speci-
flcally. an enforced stoppage Of travel
to prevent the spread OF contagious
diseases. hut its real meaning Ia a
period OF forty days. William the Con-
queror OF England ordained that no
man should be allowed to remain iS
England longer than forty days unless
he was enrolled In some tithing. The
Magma Charta provided that a widow
should be allowed to remain In her
husbands mansion for forty days at
ter his death, during which time her
dowry was to be turned over to her.
These are only a few limitations Of
the use OF the forty-day period. How
that use originated. no n knows.
Forty days Is not a regular division OF
time like a week or a month, but Ia
wholly arbitrary. The only plausible
explanation is that this period approx
imates a division OF the carly lunar
year by the mystic number 8.
