port on the condition OF the gro wing

If it is true that the department Of
agriculture has discovered an effec-
tive enemy Of the cotton boil weevil,
it is the most important work that the
department has accomplished since its
organization, for it was becoming evi.
dent that the spread OF the weevil
would eventually destroy the whole
cotton growing industry. The depart
ment claims to have found species
of ant in Guatemala which preys upon
the weevil end has made 1t possible to
grow cotton in that country. The ant
has been brought to Texas, and the
department will spare no expense in
fully testing the efficiency Of It.

It is established beyond doubt, says
Harper's Weekly, that during the
Nineteenth Century there was in all
the civilized nations Of the world an
important lengtheniug Of the average
life, and that this improvement is
especially characteristic Of the last
half of the century. It is also clear
that the improvement is limited al
most wholly to the earlier half Of life
that is to say, there has been an i'm
mense diminution Of infant mortality,
large decrease of the rate of mortal
ity among children and youth, and,
on theswhole in general, an increase
in the mortality of advanced .l;ee,t
most particularly among males older.

Inventor Thomas A. Edison has
saokied the problem, ''Why do not
men go to church?' He thinks it is
largely because husbands have to stay
at home Sunday mornings and mind
the babies while their wives 60 to
church. To meet the situation Mr..
Edison has devised q system Of check
ing babies in the church basement,
pretty much as parcels are checked in
a railway depot. Under this system,
Mr.. Edison says, both husband and
wives can attend the services.
