is that it is furnishing free transpor-

which. having devastated Massachu-
sets, has escaped into New Hamp-
shire and Connecticut and is now be
ginning to invade New York. The fe
male gypsy cannot fly, SO the spread
of the pest is attributed to the inter
vention of vehicles, of which the auto
mobile is the longest traveller. Ac-
companying the gypsy moth on its
Journeys is the brown tail moth, which
can fly very we'll and thus has larger
radius of action. State Entomologist

Man Who is Ahead

IN almost every newspaper you piek

lot of gush about the man behind

gun, the man behind the buzzsaw ana
the man behind the son, the man be-
hind the times and the man behind his
rents the man behind the plowshare
and the man behind the fence, the man
behind the whistle and the man be-
hind the ears. the man behind the ko-
dak and the man behind the bars, the
man behind his whiskers and the man
behind his fists. and everything is en-
tered on the list. But they've skipped
another fellow. of whom nothing has
.een said-the fellow who is even or
d little way ahead. who pays for what
he gets, whose bills are always signed.
He's blamed sight more important
than the man who is behind All the
editors and merchants and the whole
commercial clan are indebted for ex-
istence TO this honest fellow man. He
keeps US all in business, and his town
is never dead, and SO we take off our
hats to the man who is ahead.-Judge.

Conditions Under Which Ships Sails
Sometimes Sing.
Some curious facts have been noted
with regSrd to the sound conducting
qualities of ships sails. When rem
dered concave by a gentle breeze, the
widespread sails of ship are said TO
be excellent conductors of sound.
4 ship was once sailing along the
coast of Brazil, far out of sight OF
sand Suddenly several of the crew,
while walking along the deck. noticed
that when passing and repassing a
particular spot they always heard with
great distinctness the sound of bells
Ginning sweet music, as though being
rung but q short distance away.
Dumfounded by this phenomenon,
they quickly communicated the discov-
cry to their shipmates, but none of
them was able to solve the enigma as
to the origin of these seemingly mvs-
terious sounds which came TO them
across the water.
Months afterward, upon returning to
Brazil, the crew determined to satisfy
their curiosity. Accordingly they men,
toned the circumstance to their
friends and were informed that at the
time when the souaGs were heard the
bells in the cathedral of San Salvador,
on the coast, had been ringing to Gel
citrate feast held in honor of one of
the saints.
Their sound, wonderful to relate, ia
rored by a gentle, steady breeze, had
fraW,le distance OF upward of 100
miles over the smooth water and had
been brought to focus by the sails at
the particular locality in which the
sweet sounds were first heard.
This is but one Of several instances
Of similar kind, trustworthy authori-
ties claiming that this same music is
often heard under somewhat the same
circumstances ana especially in a mois.
