Ferocious "kissing Bug"

The discovery of kissing bug"
larger and more ferocious than the
mysterious insect that was so often
reported in various parts of the Unit
ed States few years ago is reported
by Prof. A. l.. Herrera, chief agricul-
tural entomologist of the republic of
Mexico. A description of the bug,
which Prof Herrera says is known in
Mexico as chinche voladora, and is the
cause of considerable apprehension Of
serious injury, especially to children,
which it attacks by puncturing the
skin with its beak and sucking the
blood, has reached the bureau of en-
tomology Of the United States depart
ment of agriculture.
The real name of the insect is mcc-
Gus pallidipennis, belonging to the
Reduvil family, being larger than
the native American SO called kiss
ing bug" and is closely related to con-
orhinus, the genus which includes the
cone noses, the most bloodthirsty Of
the species. 1t measures upward Of
an inch and quarter in length and
five-eighths of an inch in width, and is
black in color, with light converging
bands like the markings of a turtle.
"The insect is so large and Of such
formidable appearance" says the bu-
reau's report, that we would natural
ly expect it to be capable of a danger.

HAS NEW PAINT FOR VESSELS.
German Professor Claims to Have
Discovered Preservative.

A German inventor has been expert
mentng for years with various pre-.
seryative paints for the bottom OF
ships Among those used at the pres
ent time even the best permit the
growth of barnacles and marine yese
tation uEon the wood or metal shea tn
ing, and the ship has to go into dry
dock TO have her bottom cleaned OF
the growths which so materially re.
tard her progress.
The inventor in question has devot-
ed his time of late to the determina-
ton of the chemical construction OF
the coating found upon the scales OF
fishes. He declares that the agility
of the fish is due to this coating.
which enables ii to overcome the re-
sistance of the water, while at the
same time it prevents the growth of
foreign matter.
He asserts that he Is row able to
produce this coating in a form permit.
ting it to be used for vessels and that
ships thus treated will not only be
able to keep clean bottoms but that
the paint will materially reduce the
resistance of the waves and permit
faster time to be made with the same
expenditure of power.

Lapland Baby SWINGS.

Little LaplanderS spend the first ten
months of their existence in baskets OF
wickorWork, provided at the top with a
conical framework too close for baby
to fall through, and yet giving the
infant plenty of light and air. Before
commencing her work for the day the
l.app mother places her child in the
basket and hangs it on the limb OF
some nearby tree, occupation being
found for the little ones by stringing
toys upon a cord passed across the TOP
of the basket. Thus provided the child
spends the entire day in the open, and
yet at the same time is guarded from
the troubles and dangers of outdoor
child life in other countries. The bas-
ket idea curiously parallels the Indian
idea of strapping the pappoose into
carrying case, but the Lapp baby has
the advantage over its Indian fellow
in that its limbs are uncontined and a
certain amount of liberty of movement
is afforded. The child is carried from
place to place in the same basket, the
cord by which it is attached to tree
being slung over the shoulder.

friendly glace he got was from Mr..

watching the proceedings with inter.

under arrest. His case was called
first, and he was fined $50 for vagran-
Cy Then the charge against Mr.. Fitz
Iusher was on, and he, being guilty,
was also fined $50 and costs.
It's an outrage, miserable out

''It is, fer fact" agreed Footloose
Freddy.
Which gratuitious consolation so
pleased Mr.. Fitzrusher that he paid
the fine of Footloose and walked with
him from the justice court, continuing
his comment upon the outrageousness
of the proceedings.
"There's no such thing as justice in
this community asserted Mr. Fitz

CHAPTER XXXVII.
A TURN OF THE WHEEL.

Three days went by; three slow
footed miserable days, and another
evening was nearing its waning. and
no ring at Miss Rogers house bell lad
as yet announced the artist, nor had
the post brought her any message to
relieve her anxiety or explain his neg
lect. The only comfort she had re-
ceived was that which came with tho
discovery that the name of Hamilton
Degraw had not appeared among the
list Of cabin passengers sailin. in the
Etruia. The manner in which he had
cut short his approach after her song
argued suddenly conceived determi-
nation. He did not wish to acknowl.
edge her deyotedncss. He felt that 1t
