PECULIAR MEANS OF DEFENSE
Small Dagoers Of Light Sent Out BY
the csntlpeds.

Among the peculiar powers OF AMI
mails there are none harder to explain
than the power of being self.luminous.
II Is sometimes termed phosphores-
cence, but it is not now supposed to
depend upon phosphorus In the AMI
MIL. A correspondent OF Nature de-
scribes her experience with a lumi-
nous centipede which shows the evil
dent purpose Of the luminous sub
stance as a means of defense. Atten-
ton was first attracted by a light OF
brilliant bluish-green that moved for
ward over the gravel, leaving behind
a trail Of light, which, gradually sep
arating. became a scattered mass Of
brilliant points. The scattered points
proved to be red ants, which were pur-
suing the centipede. 1t had discharged
this luminous liquid over them. The
centipede was picked up and put in
q tumbler where it flashed out q
mass of light. When the hand was
placed over the tumbler to prevent
the escape of the captive, a strange
prickly sensation was felt as from a
slight charge of electricity. The GEN.
tipede would writhe the light out OF its
body in blue-green flashes until 1T had
exhausted it's luminosity and ceased
to shine. Defense seems certainly TO
be n of the uses of this secretion.

NEAR DEATH THROUGH SNAKE
Sleeper Awoke to Find Monster Colled
Around His Neck.

r. E. Feve, an employee OF the
Northern Electric, had a thrilling ex-
p~erience with a snake Tuesday morn
ing. Feve with two companions occu-
pies a tent made out of gunny sacks
in the western portion of Oroville.
He was awakened by a feeling OF
s~trangulation. He attempted to cry
out, but so tightly was his throat
hound that he could make no sound.
AS he became fully awake he realized
that something must be done or he
would choke. He grabbed frantically
for his throat and his hand slipped
over the scales of a huge snake which
had coiled itself around his neck. He
frantically pulled the coils loose, the
reptile resisting him and biting him
In the cheek.
His two companions, awakened by
the noise, came to Feve's rescue. The
two pulled the snake away and threw
IT to the floor, where it glided away
while the men attended to Mr.. Feve's
wound. The reptile was a gopher

Firm Flesh Well Carried Is Not Un-
gainIy-HoW to Reduce. =

There is a wonderful new German
reduction method which calls for a
rubber blanket, in which the fat wom-
an is wrapped. Sometimes she is put
into a rubber suit. And with this
SO tight that it both congresses and
sweats her she does her exercises.
The result is a rapid loss of weight.
And particularly does this weight
around the belt line disappear, just
where it is the thickest and looks the
worst. Make the room quite hot and
go through a simple course of gymnas-
tics, the most important of which is
the bending exercises. She a lie
fiat on the floor and elevate her feet.
She can stand and bend over. She
can lie upon the floor and lift n foot
and then the other.
The rope gymnastics are extremely
good. A rope is slipped over the foot
and the handles are held in the hand.
The rope is seesawed by the handles,
and the patient is strengthened as to
her back and b%roadened as to her
shoulders. The second of the rope
exercises is taken lying fiat upon the
back. The patient lies down, lifts one
foot, throws a rope over it, and see
saws 1t, pulling the handles back and
forth. This is for the reduction of the
belt line proper. Incidentally it devel-
ops the chest.

SETS RAT TRAP FOR HIS WIFE.
Pennsylvania Man Stops Leakage
From Pockets at Night.

Centerville, Pa.-Philip Rodney, q
prominent business man of this place,
discovered recently that his wife had
been taking spending money out of
his trousers pockets while he slept.
He demonstrated with her, but the
wifely differing continued, and seri-
GUS quarrels followed.
The other night Rodney, determined
to break his wife of the practice, put
a small but strong rat trap in his
pocket, with the jaws toward
the opening.
He was awakened shortly after mid.
night by his wife's screams, and,
jumping out of bed, discovered her
hand tightly wedged in the jaws Of
the steel trap.
The woman begged to be released,
but Rodney allowed her to suffer for
awhile before freeing her. Her hand
was badly lacerated.
Mrs. Rodney left her husband the
next day and took up her residence
with her parents. She says she will
no longer live with him.

IN SUMMER GIVE IT A REST FROM
ARTIFICIAL CURLING
Those at the Seashore Should Never
Allow the Salt Water to Remain
In the Hair-To Protect
the Skin.

Women intending to pass the sum-
mer or a portion of it at the seashore
much be very careful of both skin and
hair. The salt of wind and wave, as
well as the glare on the sandy beaches,
play havoc with the texture OF the
skin and the beauty of the hair.
Pounds and more pounds of the best
cold cream should be used on the
skin, and the sea water should never
be allowed to remain in the hair. 1t
is better to wear oil-skin caps and so
protect the head entirely, but with.the
utmost precaution an occasional wet
ting occurs, and then the salt water
should be rinsed out as soon as pos
sible and the hair dried. A little salt
is good for the hair, but not the real
salt water of the sea; it leaves the
hair sticky and in time destroys its
gloss beyond restoring.
1t should be the rule to rest the
head from all, or as much as possible,
artificial dressings, and helps through
the hot months; no curling iron should
be used at all, for one reason that the
curl will not stay in, and another, that
the hair may have the rest it so much
needs from the constant dressing in
the whirl of the winter festivities.

ests to feel acute sorrow yer their
broken crockery was disproved the
other day when Mrs. St%uyvesant Fish

store in Newport with a friend who
stopped to watch a man who was
selling cement for cut glass and called
to Mrs. Fish: "Oh, here is a cement
for cut glass which not only mends
1t but makes it ring as clearly as If
1t were new" Mrs. Fish called back:
my servants break so much of my
glass now that it is heartbreaking and

Advice for the Stout Woman

For reducing the chin and the waist
at the same time there is an old phys
ical culture exercise which resembles
in a way the puss in the corner game
of the nursery folk. The n who is
reducing kneels down in the corner
puss fashion, throwing the rope to
some n else, who pulls on it in a
sort of tug-of-war fashion. If there is
no one to assist the puss can play it
by herself, throwing the rope over
something and seasawing the handles.
This is excellent from the viewpoint
of exercise. The kneeling position, the
exercise with the arms, the vigorous
chest movements, and the fact that
the chin is kept constantly on the go
makes it quite varied and enjoyable.
When all is said and done about re-
ducing those who are stout never need
look or act unsightly if they are fas-
tidious about their daily baths-two
a day, the hot at night, the cold plunge
in the morning-dainty about their
food, eschewing the grosser sorts and
taking the fruits and vegetables in
abundance, with no water at meal time
and plenty within two hours of meals.
and if, besides, they indulge in regular
exercise-walks, golf, swimming, horse
back riding, or some other favorite
physical practice. So long as the flesh
is firm and well carried and pure from
internal and external impurities, it is
not ungainly or unpleasant to the eye.

IAN OLD PAINTERS IDEAS.

The autumn season is coming more

suitable time for housepainting. There
is no frost deep in the wood to make
trouble for even the best job of paint.
Ing, and the general seasoning of the
summer has put the wood into good
condition In every way. The weather,
moreover, is more likely to be settled
Tor the necessary length Of time to
allow all the coats to thoroughly dry, a
very important precaution. An old
n successful painter said to the
writer the other day: House owners
would get more for their money If they
would allow their painters to take
more time, especially between coats.
Instead of allowing barely time for the
surface to get dry enough not to be
'tacky,' several days (weeks would
not be too much) should be allowed
SO that the coat might set through
and through. 1t is ~inconvenient, Of
course, but, if one would suffer this
slight Inconvenience, it would add two
or three years to the life of the paint"

BIG NEW SHOE BUILDING.
It Is Dedicated by the w. l. Douglas
Co. at Brockton.

The dedication a short time ago of
the new administration and jobbing
house building erected by the w. l..
Douglas Shoe Co. as a part of it's mann
moth manufacturing plant at Montello
was marked by the thoroughness and
attention to detail characteristic of the
firm in all it's undertakings.
The dedicatory program included
open house from II a. m. to s p. m.
with concert by the Mace Gay orches-
ira and the presence of a Boston
caterer to attend to the wishes of all.
The building itself afforded a feast
for the eye, especially the Offices,
which are marvels in many ways.
Fifteen thousand invitations we're sent
out, including over 1000 to the re-
tail dealers in the United States who
handle the ". L. Douglas Co. shoes,
the others going to shoe manufactur-
ers and all allied industries in Brock
ton and vicinity. Mr.. Douglas will be
glad to have anybody who is interest
ed call and inspect the new plant, and
says "the latch string is always out"
All departments of the plant were
open for inspection, the three factories
as well as the new building, and Wis
itors were received and escorted
through the industrial maze by ex-
Gov. Douglas, assisted by the heads
of the various departments.
Under the present system all shoes
are manufactured to order, and Gus
toners sometimes lose sales waiting
for shoes to arrive. With the new
jobbing house they will be enabled to
have their hurry orders shipped the
same day they are received.
The new building is 260 feet long
and 60 feet wide and two stories in
height. The jobbing department will
occupy the entire lower floor, while the
Offices will occupy the second floor.
The jobbing department will carry a
complete stock of mems, boys, youths,
misses and children's shoes, slippers,
rubbers and findings equal to any job
bling house in the country. Buyers are
especially invited to come here to
trade, and every effort possible will be
made to suit their convenience. There
will be a finely appointed sample room
on the second floor, with an Office in
which both telephone and telegraph
will be installed, with operators, both
Western Union and Postal Telegraph
wires to be used. There will also be
arrangements for the receipt and des-
patch of mail.

Sinai, the "rurouois Land"

Sinai was known as the %"turquois

his recent book on the subject DR..
Petrie tells Of the various expeditions

ment. At the head of the party was
the Commander" or bearer of the

official staff consisted of masters OF

Nicotine In Tobacco.

A scientist writes: The essential
quality for which tobacco is smoked
or chewed lies not really in the leaves
themselves, but is contained IN thou
sands of hollow-knobbed hairs which
cover their surface. The vital nicotine
is garnered in these pearlike balls, but
as it is impossible to shave on these
hairs, and would be a scarcely com.
mendable achievement If it could be
undertaken, it becomes necessary to
preserve the whole foliage for com
mercial purposes"
