A Use for Prairie pooe.

Science may some time find use FOR
mosquitoes. On the Western plains
prairie dogs have been regarded as
even more useless pests. and now
comes a man who says that they
serve such a purpose that hsnceforth

them they will encourage the propO-
cation Of the little beasts. Louis
GrOsmentir has, according 10 the

says that alfalfa 10 grow. must be in.

Red Light
For Smallpox

According to press dispatches, one
of the Noble prizes. which are sums
given annually for the greatest
achievements in science, literature
and art, will be awarded in the medi-
cal section this year to DIR. Niels r.
Finsen. of Copenhagen. who first stir.
red the scientific world in 1898 with
his article. "The influence Of Light
on the Skin" He aroused general at.
tention by declaring that in cases of
smallpox cures could be effected by
placing red curtains before all the
windows OF the sickroom.
In 1894 the year following the publi-
cation of his article, smallpox be
came epidemic in Copenhagen. Short
ly previous, Dr. Syensen, of Bergen.
acting on the suggestion, had tried
the "red-room" treatment with splen-
did results Professor Fjellberg did
the same thing with the Copenhagen
smallpox cases. Everywhere the
medical fraternity applauded the re-
suits obtained, especially because, by
preventing suppuration, the disease
could run its course without leaving
those dreaded scars
In 1896 the Municipal Hospital Of
Copenhagen placed a piece of ground
at the disposal Of Professor Finsen.
Here were erected several unpreten.
tious buildings, but sufficient for the
time being. The Finsen Medical Light
institute was organized through the
munihcence of Messrs Hagemann and
Jorgensen. two wealthy residents Of
Copenhagen. The Danish government
likewise gave considerable sum for
the furtherance OF the institution
which, beginning with two patients,
now treats hundreds daily.
Finsen, in spite Of all that he has
done for the health Of others by his
light cures. has prohted little for him
self and is a sick man. his heart, llv-
er and digestive organs all being AT.
fected The advances made in his
light cures during the past year won
him the Nobel prize.

GREAT CORK FORESTS.
Immense Tracts in Spain and Portu-
gal Are Covered with the
Evergreen Oak.
And so indeed it was.
THE END.

The cork forests of Spain cover an
area of '620,G00 square miles, produc-
ing the finest cork in the world. These
forests exist in groups and cover wide
belts of territory, those in the region
of Catalonia and part of Barcelona be-
ing considered the first in Importance.
Although the cork forests of Estre-
madura and Andalusia yield cork of
a much quicker growth and possessing
some excellent qualities its consist
ency is less rigid, and on this account
it does not enjoy the high reputation
which the cork of Catalonia does, says
the Boston Herald.
In Spain and Portugal, where the
cork tree, or Quercas suber, is in
Cigenous, it attains to height vary
ing from 81, to so feet and the trunk
to a diameter of 80 to SO inches. This
species of the evergreen oak is often
heavily caparisoned with widespread
ing branches, clothed with ovate OBJ
long evergreen leaves, downy under
meath and the leaves slightly serrat-
ed. Annually, between April and May,
it produces a flower of a yeuowish
color, succeeded by the acorns. Over
10000 square miles in Portugal are de-
voted to the cultivation of cork trees,
though the tree virtually abounds in
every part of the country.
The methods in vogue in barking
and harvesting the cork in Spain and
Portugal are rtually the same. The
barking operati is effected when the
tree has acquired sufficient strength
to withstand the rough handling it
receives during this operation, which
takes place when it has attained the
fifteenth year of its growth. After the
first stripping the tree is left in this
jHvenescent state to regenerate, SUBJ
sequent strippings being effected at
intervals of not less than three years,
and under this process the tree will
continue to thrive and bear for up
ward of $50 years.

The shades of night were falling fast
AS to the dining-room there passed
A youthful pair, who gayly bore
A box, on which was this-no more
"Ping-pong.
They cleared the table with a swish,
From dolly down to butter-dish;
Then through the center stretched net
And soon the ball the racket met
"Ping-pong
'"Try not the gamer the housemaid cried.
1.-The dinner is ready now" she sighed,
"And mustpu it on the board.
The young man turned and hercely roared /:
"Ping-pong." o.
The cook strobe to the open door.
And cautioned them to cease once more.
1.-The roast" she urged, sis sure to burn. -
@ The maiden gasped: I'm bound to learn
Ping-pong."
The family iurked in the hall.
And moaned: care we to eat at all?'
But still they heard the ping and pong
That made the cadence of a song
Ping-pong.
And back and forth they smote the sphere
Until the dawn of morning clear.
The father, mother, sister. too,
Walled hungrily: ALAS! We rue
Ping-pong!
One day the searchers. out of breath.
Found allfthese people starved to death:
The cook, the housemaid, beau and belle,
The family-and, sad to tell,
Above them pinged the pongful knell:
"Ping-Pong!"

No USE FOR MALES.
specie. of Ants That MULTIPLY aas
Produce. Nothing But Work
ing Females.

Many who are not sluggards have
gone to the ant and considered her
ways, but the diligent ittleswomans s
store of wisdom is not yet exhausted
says the Chicago Tribune.
Woman is correct and so is 'sher,' for
most of the ants, as well as the bees.
and all the workers OF both species are
females. And of these females all but
the queen are old maids, eschewins
matrimony as a nuisance and an I'M
pediment TO useful work. Now the
astonishing discovery has been made
that their celibacy constitutes no bar
to their perpetuation of the species.
at least for several generations 1t
has long been known that virgin
queens, both of bees and of ants, lay
eggs, and it has become known more
recently that the workers, which never
mate, do the same thing, but it has been
assumed from imperfect observation.
that these eggs always hatch into
drones or males, never into females OF
either the queen or of the worker va
riety.
A German naturalist named Reichen-
bach has been putting the matter to a
simple test, which, however, has occu-
pied several years. In the spring OF
1899 he imprisoned IL worker ants in
an observation nest. Soon they laid
eggs which Matched not into males, but
into workers. Later in the season,
at the natural mating time in July, a
few males were Matched out. The
same thing was repeated next year
Then the colony had increased from the
original IL to some 300, only two OF
three dozens of which were males.
The process was repeated in 1901, but
the colony had begun to dwindle, and in
1902 it persisted from unknown
causes" and thus put an end to the eX-
pertinent.
No perfect females (queens) were
produced, although the insects were
provided with an abundance of food.
which is commonly supposed to favor
the production of queens. But the
workers were far in excess of the
males, which. according to the prevail
ing theory, should have constituted the
entire product.
The remarkable fact is that these
workers. instead of producing only
males, which cannot carry on the spe-
cies without ma ing, produced workers
like themselves, which could and did
do so. This went on for several gen
eratiOns
