OF last resort. and no defendant has
ever hcen known TO "stnnd on his coll
siitutional rights" or seek to bribe the
ministers Of justice, who convict about
seven out of every ten defendants that

smoky Cbimneys.


To know the cause of n smoky Chin
ney Is half its cure. In most cases ii
may be ascertained without difficulty.
and very simple remedy will be ef-
ficaclons. When the draught is slug
Sish. it may be accelerated by intro
ducing cold air Immediately in front
OF the fire. Say. for example, through
a hole in the hearthstone about six or
eight inches in diameter. covered by a
ventilator and protected from cinders
and ashes by the fender. Generally
speaking, the air from underneath the
floor will be sufficient; but If not. n
greater supply can be obtained by con-
structing an air drain communicating
with n passage or with the external
air. The plan has succeeded perfectly
in curing smoky chimneys. which pre-

Cockroaches have invaded American
warships to such an extent that il has
been found necessary TO institute a
war of determination. y vigorous
campaign has been arranged with n
view to making the war short. sharp
and decisive. An expert cockroacl
killer has been engaged as an auxili-
airy. who contracts TO rid the navy OF
the pests at the rate OF $50 a ship. He
asked double that amount for the
work. but the department deemed tie
rate excessive. and he finally agreed
to undertake the work at the figure
stated. Cochroaches are introduced
on board the warships principally by
means of the subsistence stores. and
they breed rapidly. 1t is reported
that there is a yeritable coclSroach
plague on the warships at the League
