Caterpillar Fever.
From the London Mail.

From the London Mall.
Zeal for nature study. not tempered by

doctors have been called in to diagnose an
epidemic of rash which has affected whole

The symptoms of the ailment. well known

times on the face. accompanied by num-
Der of bhster-like swellinss. which, when
they occur round the eyes. sometimes have
the effect of obstructing vision.
The preventive is for the nature class to
loaye hairy caterpiilars alone. AS the
palmer worm" the hairy caterpillar Of the
gold-tail moth, one of the coEnmonest and
most beautiful objects OF the country at
midsummer. passes from hand to hand, It
leaves on every palm few of Its loosely
attached hairs, and those hairs are pos
sessed. for the protection of the caterpillar

"Urtica" Is the Latin for '.nettle.'
Many other hairy caterpillars are almost
as bad as the palmer worm" and. as a
general rule the less you handle any hairy
caterpillar the better.

Arrowhead Ornaments.
From the Pittsburg Press.


Men and boys who have lived in the
country have almost all picked up an Indian
arrowhead now and again in tramping over
pioughed fields. Many boys have large col
lections of these relics of the past, which
they have faithfully gathered during sum
mer vacations and Saturday holidays But
when the pure Joy OF the collection for Its
own sake Is abated 1t is found that the ar
rowheads are little adaptable to any use
excepting that of filling up glass cases
Scarf pins and belt pins may be made of
them. but this does not usually use up
many of the arrowheads, even IL the boys
list OF friends and relatives to which he
may give these pins is large. A New York
Jeweler has now devised a way for utilizing
a larger number of the arrowheads in the
ornamentation of a masculine toy.
The arrowheads are used in conjunction
with copper to make exceedingly attractive
smokers lamps. squat little cup of the
copper is the lamp proper, and the arrow
head Is used for the handle. The broad
part OF the arrowhead Is attached to the
lamp by copper wire silver binding. and
the tapering piece of stone or flint forms
the handle. Other lamps are made Of sill
yer with the same handles. In still others
the arrowheads are used around the bronze
cup which forms the lamp. They are placed
upright. the points toward the top. and are
bound to the lamp by wrappings of silver
bands.

How to Keep Friends.
From the Pittsburg Press

The other day lady forgot an enraee-
ment to pour tea at friends afternoon at
nome. The lady who was left in the lurch
managed as best she could, but felt little
incensed that her affair was overlooked
ana that chair of honor stood empty that
many would have delighted to All.
Inere were all the materials for breach
Of friendship, particularly as the Iadv who
ialled TO appear was reported as out walk
ing on the street. But being person not
given to quick Judgment the offended lady
waited. In the early morning came a ring
at the telephone. at the other end OF the
WIRE woman full OF frankness and apol-
ogy. What excuse did she offer? None
actually none, but with honesty confessed
that she had forgotten the engagement en-
tireiy. told her distress. offered eager apollo

suit Is that the two women are dearer to
each other than before. for each feels she

stanch an outside layer of hard plaster was
employed. upon which woven fabric was

Frame Of Galleys.
The construction of the beams of the
framework is often ingenious. A beam was
sometimes formed of single piece, and in
other cases of two superposed pieces nail
ed together. In order TO form long beam
two pieces were sometimes placed together
with lap Joint. and the whole fastened
by three large copper nails.
The deck flooring was made of planks
nailed to the beams. method of Joining
the planks by keys was also employed, the
keys running in two rows alongside the
beam. Although mostly copper nails were
round, 1t ID not unlikely that nails of iron
were also employed At all events. one OF
iron was found; the others (unless they are
still undiscovered) have probably rusted
away. The copper nails range in length
from twenty inches to one inch; the larger
may more properly be called spikes. In
driving these soft copper nails II not In
frequently happened that a knot or other
obstacle was encountered. The result was
that they curled into the form of spiral.
In order to recover these ancient vessels
many projects have been proposed. II Is
obviously impossible to raise the crumbling
hulls bodily. Therefore Malfatti has sug-
gested the draining of the entire lake by
means of a tunnel. Prof. Giuria, however,
has suggested the use of the old Roman
outlet. According to Malfattrs scheme the
valley of Ariccia would be partially flood
ed According to Giuria's scheme the wa
ter will be piped across the valley of Aric-
ella. and will be made to drive an electric
plant. If the bottom Of the lake is ever
exposed the bodily removal OF the two old
galleys will present considerable difficulty.
Prof. Giurfa has suggested the use Of iron
cradles built around the barges, upon which
cradles the barges will be pulled out upon
tracks.

Laziness and Suicide.
From tho Chicago Chronicle.

F1o' tho SniSako Nsiroincle
1t is interesting to learn from distin-
euished expert in nervous derangements-
in other words. "alienist'-that the ten
dency to suicide in hot weather is due to a
sort of exaggerated laziness. Most OF Us
have already entertained the suspicion that
there was connection between self-mur-
der and indisposition to work. People who
kill themselves not only in hot weather but
In any other weather usually leave word
that they are tired Of life The truth is
that they are tired OF work and of respon-
sibi!ity. They rebel against the ordeals
which all humanity has to face in one form
or another and they take up arms against a
sea of troubles-more or less real-and
think by opposing to end them. Whether
they do end them or not is a question that
has not been perceptibly enlightened since
Hamlets day. The man who makes his
own quietus has to take the chances.
But from a merely physiological stand
point the theory OF the relationship be-
tween laziness and hot weather suicide Is
interesting. We are told that the DISPOSE
ton to suicide is due to the relaxation of
the blood vessels and reduction of the blood
pressure which heat naturally causes. Thus
the cerebral centers are depressed. Affect
Ing the viii power. In most persons this
produces mere laxiness. more or less pro-
nounced. but In persons suicidally predis-
posed, or. In plain English. congenitally
lazy, It causes anaemia of the brain. tend
ing to self-destruction.
This theory fails to explain the fact al
ready noted that most suicides. no matter
what the weather, may be traced to hatred
effect upon the cerebral centers do not ex-
plain the cases of self-murder which occur
during the winter months. We may, there
fore. assume that hot weather is only Incl
dentally a predisposing Indictment to sub.
eide and that in the majority of cases the
temperature has nothing to do with it.
Laziness coupled with cowardice. must be
fallen back upon as the true explanation OF
all suicides except In those cases where the
victim Is demonstrably insane.
The old school Of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS main
tanned that every case Of suicide was Q
case of insanity. but that theory has been
abandoned because OF the preponderance OF
testimony against 1t. Acute mania some
times causes suicide. but In the large ma
Jority Of cases sheer iaziness and poltroon-
cry furnish the plain evidence of motive.
The lazy theory Il. therefore. approximate
Etricted to hot weather suicides. It really
applies to all.

Cats Hear Call Of the Wild.
from the Fort Scott Tribune.

From the Fort Scott Tribune.
An interesting study of animal nature is
found by possum and coon hunters of this
city in the 1000 or more acres of dense
timber OF the Marmaton river bottoms. west
of town. It Is found that many once tame
house cats are now inhabiting the timbers
as wild and more ferocious fighters when
freed than any other species of animals
which hunters are apt to encounter in these
woods.
Nearly every hunting party spending a
night In those woods comes up with a cat
that has gone back to the wild" The sup
position Is that these cats have been tempt
ed to the woods by the field and wood mice
and other prey upon which cats like to feed
and that they gradually become accustomed
TO wild life and make their hom, there.
frequently a party of hunters has chased a
cat half night to have an exciting fight
when the dogs finally cornered It,
The cats thus returned to the native life
Of their species are said by the hunters to
grow considerably larger than their CIV
ilized brothers and sisters and to be able to
engage a whole pack Of dogs single handed.

Feat Of a Tramp Telegrapher.

From the Commercial TeleGraphers' Journal
Henry Bogardus was the original tramp
telegrapher. He had travelled all over the
world and undoubtedly was one of the nm
est operators In the business but he
wouldn't hold Job down for more than
two or three weeks. One night he wan
dered into the office of the Atlanta Times
and asked for job. The paper needed
man badly and put him to work.
The chief operator got hold Of the other
man on the wire and told him he had
new man on and to work him out. That
was the day before typewriters came into
general use. Everything was written out
in longhand The story began coming In.
Bcgardus asked for a pencil, leaned back
in his chair and slowly began to sharpen II.
The sounder was pounding away as fast
as the man at the other end OF the wire
could send. The editor spoke to "Bo' and
told him he had better get busy, as the
man was q rather fast sender and he
would set behind. DO" told him to never
mind, that he would attend to that He
got up and walked around q moment,
picked up the poker and stirred UP the fre.
got a drink OF water. then seated himself
and started to take tho message.
He sat there through the night and took
between 1900 and $4,000 words, which
were written In beautiful hand. The feat
went the rounds of operators all over the
country and became q legend a. one Of the
greatest ever.
