MORE FINE WEATHER

The weather man says that the ideal
weather which prevailed Easter will
continue for several days, with some
what rising temperature, and that
Easter bonnets and new spring clothes
may be worn for at least few days
more without fear of pneumonia. The
reports at the weather bureau show
that Easter was rainy along the At

is clear weather turnout practically the
entire United States: The atmospheric nosp
berta, causing higher temperatures in
northern Michigan, Minnesota and the
northwest. AS this low pressure moves
eastward the temperatures will rise in
this vicinity tonight, but not sufficient,

MERRuLs REACH ROME

A cablegram received at the Mime
today reports E. A. Merrill, president
of the company, and Mrs. Merrill safe
at Rome, Italy. 1t was the plan of
Mr.. and Mrs. Merrill to drive thru the
cities at the base of Mount Vesuvius
and friends in Minneapolis were not
sure whether they. might not have be-
gun the tour just before the eruption
took place. In that event, they would
have been exposed to great danger.
It is probable that the Merrills will
abandon that part of their itinerary.

MOSQUITO A PEST
But not A PERIL
MALARIA AND YELLOW FEVER
IN THE STATE.
American Mosquito determination So
ciety Might Well Find Followers in
North Star Commonwealth, but Only
for Battle Against Annoyance, Not
Menace.

Malaria spreading mosquitoes are
found among the twenty-five varieties
which spend the summer at Minnesota
lakes, and yellow fever carriers have
been found in ATTITUDES as far north as
this.
This is the statement of Professor F.
L. Washburn, state entOmologist, but he
mitigates it's effect by adding that, as
there are no malaria or yellow fever
germs to carry, the presence OF these
varieties in Minnesota need not cause
alarm, tho they undoubtedly cause an
noyance after the ice is gone from the
shady side of the hills.
Professor Washburn is listed as one
OF the consulting entomologists of the
American Mosquito determination So
ciety, which held it's annual convention
in New York city last week, but he
is not actively engaged in the exter-
mination campaign, as he thinks that
there is little opening for a movement
of the sort in Minnesota.
Little Trouble Here.
"There is little similarity between
the conditions here and in the east so
far as mosquitoes are concerned,' said
Professor Washburn. fThere, the sea-
swamps along the Atlantic coast and on
the outskirts of the great cities are
CHe preceding place OF millions OF JneSe
insects and their determination is es-
sential to the health as well as the
comfort of the people. >-.. f
Minnesota mosquitoes are a nui-
sance, but they are not the pest that
they are in other localities. That is no
reason VIII " people should not know
how to get rid Of them or at least re-
duce their, numbers. Drainage is the
solution of the problem. Stagnant
water, whether it is ma swamp or
in a battered tin can in the back al
ley, is the breeding place of the mos
quito. Get rid of stagnant water and
the mosquito will die out for want of
a place to develop. 49, -.
| Doing a Good Work.
"The determination society. is un-
doubtedly doing a1great and good work
in bringing this subject to the front
and informing the public how to fight
the pest, and it's. work should be en-
couraged. I doubt if it will be possible
entirely to exterminate the mosquito
thru any agency, but the society is Ger

visible. A boat model was then lowed along the tank, and a silhouette of the waves produced was obtained by plac- ing white screen at a short distance behind the tank. The waves were al- So photographed by fashlight, and the results showed conclusively that waves actually were set up at the boundary line between the two liquids.
 Further experiments, were made to verify the sudden loss of speed due to dead water The boat model was drawn across the tank and the towing string suddenly slackened when the boat was about half way across. Ill cases where the tank contained salt water only the boat stopped gradually, moving some boat lengths after the towing string had been slackened. When the tank contained layer of fresh water rest ing on salt water on the other hand, the boat slaokened speed quite suddenly and moved only very short distance These experiences, carried out on a small scale prove conclusively that the difficulties encountered within a dead water zone are really due to the resist anee experienced by the vessel in gen. erating invisible waves at the fresh wa ter salt water boundary, although in some particular cases the influence of undercurrents must also, doubtless, be taken into nt.-Scotsman.

BIRD MILLINERY.

It is devoutly to be hoped that the death knell of bird millinery has been sounded. The Queen of England and the women of her household will no more wear birds upon their hats. There are indications that many Americans
 who both social influence and unseared .cosctences will emphasize the layalty to
 beautiful birds, which are beautiful in
 field and forest, but are at best the
 ghost of beauty when borne aloft like
 scalps of commercial conquest
 The fashion of fresh flowers and
 fruits in summer time would indicate
 the taste and skill of the home rather
 than the purse of the father. Here is
 what one young woman says she did
 last summer with a cheap rush hat In the morning she would garland it with
 pink and whate sweetpeas for a sally down the street for errands. In the af- ternoon she would change the shape an
 adon it with a spray of roses. She made dainty boating hat by wreath ing 1t in poppies and corn, while at another time 1t was adorned with a chain of buttercups and daizes. She would sometimes have 1t graeed with clusters of ripe cherries, crab apples or blackberries She was admired and envied because her crown of beauty
 was not merely a milliner's exhibit. are teachers who win the gratitude of

Appointed by the cemmltteee' carefully chosen for their trustWoftHl- ness, these agents dispatch every item of information of interest to the shlp- ping community to Loyds by the quickest possible route telegraphic or otherwise.
 The arrivals and departures of ves- sells from the various ports, the tact that they have been signalled at sea, the occurrence of wrecks and casual' ties, are known at Lloyds within an ill., credibly short time, a shipwreck being often announced within 15 minutes of its happening, while prior to the es- tablishment of telegraphs the govern ment was largely dependant upon Lloyds for early news as to what was going on in the various parts or the world.
 All intelligence thus gathered and re- ceived is at once embodied for refer ence in the Index gigantic com- pilation comprised in 12 folios, and kept for consolation in the reading room. Thanks to the index, an under writer can learn by a search which is only a matter of moments where and in what condition is every vessel in the British mercantile marine and great number of foreign ships.

By or der of the government, all information that reaches the state registrar-genral of shipping and seamen is at once fur nished to Lloyds, so that the diction- ary, in. which over 10000 pages are posted up in the course of the year, is as complete and as perfect as unceas' ing revision can make 1t.

 When insurances is effected at Lloyds the procedure is different from that of an ordinary insurance com pany. For Lloyds does not insure as a body, the business beings done by In dividual members. These members split up the risk; each takes a small portion only thus insuring stability by the extension and consequent curtail- ment of the risk as far as each individ- ual is concerned. The names of these members are indorsed on the policy, to- 1 gether with the amount of risk under taken; they are written on the policy one under the other-hence the term of 1 'underwriter."

KEEP BEES IN AN AQUARIUM.
Good Way of Finding Out How Doth
 the Little Busy.

Good way or Flndlng out HOW Dotn
 the Little Busy.
 Everybody is curious to see bees act ually at work. By following the ex- ample of writer in Suburban Life this curiousity may be gratihed.
 Take a rectangular glass aquarium and place it on window sill, elevated slightly at the side nearest the win- dow, so that when the latter is raised an inch the bees may pass in and out. If desired the bees may be kept for some time in confinement, by raising the acquarum an inch on blocks and using a strip screen cloth to prevent the bees from escaping.
 When confined, the bees should be fed a syrup of equal parts of sugar and wa- ter A frame or two of bees may be purchased for a trifiing sum.
 Put within this glass acquarium some rustic supports to represent pro- jecting, undecayed portions of the in- side of the hollow trunk. Keep all cov- cred by an opaque cloth when not ob- serving what is going on within this glass bee home,

 | In the artificial hives the combs are attached only at the edges but In na- tural conditions with the bee tree or in | it's counterpart, as represented by the old fashioned box hive with opaqua sid- and in our transparent inverted aQuar- | ium, the bees can build combs and at- tach them in any way that they see fit. | One of the most interesting objects off study Is to note when the bees think 1 1t necessary to put out a side support from a long comb. They seem to be- lieve that they are really within a hol- low tree and that it is likely to be swayed by the gales. Of course, when so swayed long combs laden with honey or with young bees would be too much for the unyieldlng rigiditly of the up- per part of the combs These, if they have no side stays, would bend, crack and be crushed against each other.
 The bees have learned this and give the combs a firm support whenever it is necessary. They do this, it Is true, to a certain extent, in the regular eight or ten frame hive, but not with the

DEAD WATER AND SPEED.

One of the most curious marine phen- omena known to seamen is that called by Norwegian sailors dead water" which without any visible cause makes vessel lose her speed and refuse to answer her helm. The sailors only de- finite knowledge of it's origin is that it exists solely where there is surface layer of fresh water resting upon the
 salt waters of the sea, Several ex- plantations have been advanced by the captains of ships of the effect of dead water, the commonest of winch is that the two water layers move in different directions. The true explanation, how ever, recently offered by Swedish na- vigators and verified by mathematical calculation experiment is that in ad- dition to the resistance waves at the surface the vessel creates a second line of subaqueous waves between the two strata of water
 The experiment. carried out to de- monstrate the truth this theory was an exceedingly pretty one. A large plate glass tank was first mounted on a wooden frame. The tank was then fill ed to certain depth with salf water and layer of fresh water was care fully poured onto the surface, so that two separate water layers were obtain ed. The salt water was blackened with liquid Chinese ink before the water layers were prepared, and in this way the different layers were made clearly
