THE DEADLY KELEP
THE G'JATEMALAN ANT WHICH MAKES WAR ON BOIL WEEVIL.
Experiments Being Carried On by the Government at Victoria, Tex, and the Results Thus
 Far Obtained.

The cotton boll-weevil sees it's finish q rather it would see it if it could appreciate the full meaning of the ex- periments which the agricultural de- partment has been carrying on at Vic toria, Tex. with the Kelep, or Guate- malan cotton boIl-weevil ant. In Tex as and some other sections of the south cotton cultivation has been well nigh ruined by the deyastations of the boll- weevil, and hitherto no natural enc my of the pest had ever been discover ed and all methods of fighting the lattle insect failed.
 The "kelep" was discovered by acci- dent. Dr Cook went to Guatemala to investigate the rubber industry but in his travels he noticed magnificent cot ton fields where the cotton seemed to grow without molestation of any sort
 At first he thought he had discovered a cotton immune from the destructive work of the weevil. Closer investiga-

THE KAISER OFF DUTY.
Emperor William Enjoys Poking About the Machinery of
 His Yacht.

Everybodys Magazine says perhaps an insight into Emperor Williams char acter can be better gained during his long cruise to Norway than at any other time, for it is then that he throws off all the restraints imposed on him by GUS tom and lives as he would really like 10 live. Even on the HohenZollern he is not entirely free from care, as dispatch boats frequently arrive to keep him in touch with the affairs of the government, but the fresh air and the freedom from the necessity of dressing formally and meeting uneongenial persons is a great relief to him. That the emperor is the boss" of the yacht there is no doubt. It amuses him to go poking about among the machinery, and he even pays ire quent visits to the kitchen to watch the cooks and perhaps take a hand himself in the preparation of the food. Those who have had the privilege of being pres ent on such an occasion say it is a great sight to see his majesty ascend from the kitchen 10 the upper deck with plate of pork and beans and mashed peas sit down on a little chair with the plate be- tween his knees and proceed to polish off Its contents with evident relish and a tin spoon.

When the Deaf Hear.

Gen. John H. Ketcham, the veteran representative from the Thirty-first New York district, is so deaf that it is surprising that he manages to keep abreast of the business of the house. Yet it is doubtful if any member of that body is better posted in current affairs than he. Few members give as close attention to the wants of their districts or have better acquaintance with their constituents.
 Recently one of the generals New York friends called on him and eX- plained that he desired the loan of S5,
 What did you say" inquired the general. Naturally supposing his first request had not been understood. the constituent repeated, in loud tone; 'I would like you to loan me S10.'
 You said you wanted S5.s replied the general, much to the astonishment of the would be borrewer.-N. Y. Times.

THE TEXAS COTTON BOIL wEEyl1

THE TEXAS COTTON BOIL WEENIL ton evinced the fact that the cotton plants owed their splendid condition to an effective little protector=the Ike tep." Four thousand were shipped to the United States, and this army is now on the government plantation at Vic toria, Tex, under the personal care and direction of Dr. O. F. Cook, tropical botanist for the agricultural depart ment Somewhat dubious as to the wisdom of using one pest to counteract the work of another, certain cotton planters tried to keep the government from bringing the ants into the coun- try. An injunction was sought, but it was explained that the experiments would be conducted entirely on the United States property and the injunc- ton was dissolved.
 The ants now have been fully tried and found 10 do all that was expected of them. Under the direction of the government experts they will be put into the fields of any cotton planter who wants them. and it is confidently believed that they will in time make weevil devastation a thing of the past
 When the ants arrived at Victoria Dr. Cook was not long in giving them a trial.
 Some of the colonies" he said, were released by placing the jar in which they were confined on the ground and inserting a bent cotton stalk on which the insects could climb out They immediately began digging a burrow at the base of the adjacent cotton plant. and in the course of two hours the workers were ready for the queen and a delegation of two or three of them brought her out The very strong homing instinct of the ants would have made it safe to release them in the plantations for study, even if their other habits had been less known Instead of scattering or be- coming bewildered under the strange con- ditions. they act from the first as though they were thoroughly familiar with thelf surroundings. Many colonies have been tested on a table isolated below by wa ter. The insects were allowed to climt out of their cages by means of ladder consisting of cotton leaf with tht stem bent back. There was no hesita. lion or preliminary exploration. The ants filed out at once and spread them selves over the table. Weevils were often caught. stung and carried back 10 the cage within a minute or two aft CT the release of the ants from their captivity"
 Despite the ferocious attitude held toward the weevil by the ant, Dr. Cook says that the fear that it might inter-

iere with the cultivation or harvesting of the cotton is entirely groundless
 The fact that the ant uses it's sting in capturing its prey has led some to confuse it with the stinging ants which are serious pests in some tropical coun- tries,' he said.
 The "kelep' does not belong, how ever, to any such category. It is pred aeeous or hunting ant. which very sell dom stings except to paralyze it's prey and thus render the game easier to capture and carry off; but at other times it has no inclination to sting and does so only when actually seized or injured. The sting however. is toe small and weak to penetrate the skin of the inside of the hand, so that the insects can be picked mp with entire impunity.
 If accidentally squeezed between the fingers or caught under ones collar 8 'kelep' may be able to sting, but the wound smarts, in most people, for only 8 few minutes. and is on the whole a less formidable injury than a mosquito bite. since the irritation is less pro- longed.
 They do not crush or chew their food and are apparently unable to eat any thing except liquids or substances soft enough to be lapped up, as it were, by i their tongues. While the insects are 1 feeding their jaws are usually opened wide as though 10 get them out of the way

The Society Spy.


 The out-of-work man in the smart set, who formerly tent himself. for a consideration, as a guinea pig direc- tor. stouted' for tradesmen on com mission, or sold furniture, country houses. or motor cars, has found a new profession It is that of society spy. " According to a correspondent of Truth (who signs himself "A Shop keeper and a Gentleman'0, the so eiety spy" is invaluable. If West end man is in difficulties, or his wife has everrated his patience, the society spy" informs the trade at once.
 If West end man who has been for years on the brink of bankruptcy wins large sum t'the card table there are intimate friends who profit by making the good fortune known. At time when there are so lany who are rich, or appear to be ricl. whose names are unfamiliar the shopkeeper might make serious mistakes were it not for the in formation which is so given.
 The tradesman is only too happy to pay for information which enables him 10 avoid a severe loss.
 Tradesmen in former days seldom yentured to ask such questions; and their customers, as rule, supported each other. Now, says Truths inform ant, the difficulty shoplleepers have to contend against is that most of their customers, especially if they are inti- mate friends, have not good word to say for each other. Modern English society is to-day an association of enemies who profess to be friends. - London Leader.

LEARNING THINGS
We Are All in the Apprentice Gas,


 When a simple change of diet brings back health and happiness the story is briefly told. A lady of Springfield, H.. says: After being afflicted for years With nervousness and heart trouble. received a shock four years ago that left me in such condition that my life was despaired of. I could get no relief from doctors nor from the num- herless heart and nerve medicines tried because I didn't know that the coffee was daily putting me back more han the Drs. could put me ahead.
 Finally at the request of a friend I left off coffee and began the use Of Postum and against my convictions I gradually improved in health until for the past or s months I have been entirely free from nervousness and those terrible sinking, weakening spells of heart trouble.
 My troubles all came from the use of coffee which I drunk from childhood and yet they disappeared when I quit eoffee and took up the use of Postum. g Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
 Many people marvel at the effects of leaving off coffee and drinking Postum but there is nothing marvellous about st--only common sense.
 Coffee is a destroyer-Postum is a -sbuilder. That's the reason.
