70 Men Were Insects.

Out Of every FIVE animals N tne AM
NAL kingdom four are insects, Of which
there are 100000 species. In human
world Of that sort for every gigantic
man there would be four pygmies and
Of the pygmies 100000 distinct races.
These pygnies would be made up Of a
head, middle body and hind body,
each Of which would be composed Of
hard, shell-like rings, and because their
bodies were thus divided or insected
they. might be called insects. THEFT
legs would grow out Of either the mid
die body or the hind body. They would
breathe through holes in the middle
body and eat, drink, see, smell, with
all kinds Of apparatus made for the
purpose in various and often widely
separated parts Of the body. If some
Of these pygmies were young, weighed
a pound and ate like a silkworm, they
would in two months devour forty-fTe
tons Of food. It is scarcely remarkable,
therefore, what millions Of grasshop-
pers will do to 81 .cornfeld or gypsy
moths to an apple orchard.

Throwins Rre AT so,dsers.

Greek fine, which had several other
aames-wild fire, liquid IRE, wet IRE
and fire rain-was the most destructive
war material used before the introduc-
ton Of gunpowder. DISCOVERED by
Calhnicus, Syrian, it was first used
n the. siege Of Constanttaople. e73-61s.
and at Mecca, $50 According to an
eyewitness. it made a noise like thur
der, looked Ike q dragon fying through
the air and made night light as day.
This, allowing for a vivid imagination,
gives its striking characteristics when
poured from caldrous, shot from cor
per tubes in balls Of twisted fax or
expelled from catapults IN walls dur
ing sieges and naval engagements.
Water made it burn more flercely, and
wherever it fell it spread torrent Of
FIRE. So well was the secret Of its pro
duction kept that its precise mgredi-
ents and admixture were still un-
known, but it is certain that naphtha,
sulphur, gums Of resinous trees, char
coal, saltpeter, pitch and other btu
mems were used.

A Mistake Corrected.

1t is a mistake to combine in the same
remedy both stomach and liver lnedi-
cines, because the stomach is not al
ways out of order when the liver is, or
vica versa. While it is true that these
organs are so closely related that when
one is affected the other is likely to be
also, still there are times when one is
affected and the other is not. 1t is a
serious error to give liver medicine
combined with a stomach medicine
when the stomach only needs treat
ment, and it is not necessary to treat
the stomach when the liver only is dis
ordered. Rydale's method is the most
sensible one. He does not combine the
two, but makes tablet for the stomach
and tablet for the liver, which can be
combined if necessary. Guaranteed by
DR.. ". E. Brown & Co.

Tb. ..Juice of the Grape.

The Arabs say that when the first
grapevine was planted the demon ibis
sacrificed a peacock on the spot where
the plant was set. as soon as it be-
gan to sprout forth be sacrificed an
ape over it. When the grapes began
to appear he slaughtered lion, and
when these were ripe be offered up a
pig; hence It is that he who drinks
wine feels at first as proud as a pea
cock and becomes subsequently as
tricksome as an ape, as bold as a lion
and at length as stupid as swine.

not long ago. a certain man died, and
clergyman was engaged to offer a
eulogy. This worthy minister prepared
q sermon Of exceeding length and
strength, but just before he entered the
parlor to deliver it he thought that It
might be advisable to learn what the
dead mans last words had been. So
he turned to one Of the weeping young
er sons and asked:

CUTTLEFISH FARMS.
Where the Queer Creatures Are Cua-
tivated to Be MIXED.

Where the Queer Creatures Are Cul-
| tivated to Be MIXED.
Does any one know that cuttlefsh
are cultivated on farms to be MIXED
These cuttlefsh farms are located on
the coasts Of Great Britain, and the
cuttlefsh are kept in tanks or ponds
to be MIXED of their ink. The pond or
tank is connected with the sea by a
pipe, and a thousand or more cuttles
are kept in single one.
They form a most curious sight as
they move about, trailing their long
arms and staring out Of their bulging
eyes. They are guarded by screens
which prevent them from being scared,
for if. they are suddenly frightened
they will squirt their milk into the
water, and it would therefore be lost.
This fuio or milk is very valuable,
and a cutie will yield about So worth
year. It is secreted in bag which
can be opened and closed at will, the
cutie ejecting the fluid to darken the
water so that it may escape unseen
when attacked.
The best cuttlefsh are procured in
China, where for some reason or other
they produce the best quality Of milk.
When the farmer considers it oppor-
tune to milk the cuttles he proceeds by
opening the sluices of the pond and
gently agitating the water. The cut
ties then swim around the pond, and
as soon as one passes through the
sluice is closed. The cutie passes
down a small channel into basin OF
metal receptacle, and as soon as it is
securely there the water is drained off.
It is then frightened and at once
squirts the fluid from the bag. When
it is exhausted it is lifted out, the milk
is collected and the basin prepared for
another.

Deuey Calls For Fortified Ease
At HaDaii, Key to Pacific Coast

fleet to the Pacific has called at
tentiOn sharply to the military
needs of our western frontier i'll
case of war with Japan or any ma
ton with a fleet on the Pacific. The
coming session of congress will
have to deal with this problem.
The two most important recon-
mendations relate to the fortified
ton of our Philippine naval base at
Olongapo, and the creation of a
base with adequate Notifications at
Hawaii. Work at OlOngapo has
been rushed ever since early sum-
mer, when the threatening attitude
of Japan applied a wonderful slim
illus to the slow-moving bureaus to
whom the plans have been in
trusted.
But the most important immedi-
ate need, in the opinion of the gen.
eral board, is the fertilization of
Pearl harbor at Hawaii. Up to the
present all that congress has con-
sented to in Hawaii is the location
of cOaling station, with some
trifling Notifications. A hostile
fleet would have no trouble in land
ing at Hawaii and making it the
base of hostile operations against
the American coast.
In the opinion of naval experts
Hawaii is the key to the Pacific
coast. A hostile navy, coming from
| the far east. would be obliged tC
sto pat Hawaii to re-coal and fit
! before it could do any effective
work against the American coast
| The steaming radius of the Japa
uese fleet would take 1t just about
| to Hawaii. With Notifications there
strong enough to prevent its land
ing, ii would be impossible for il
to go on to San Francisco Los An
! geles, Portland or Seattle.
| One reason President Roosevelt
has insisted on the cruise of the
| battleship fleet to the Pacific, is tC
bring out, by actual trial, the ne
| cessities of a powerful armament
operating on that side of the con
tinent. He is convinced that the
presence in the Pacific of the big
ships will convince congress. not
only of the need for more big docks
and repair yards, but of an ade-
quate fertilization of the strategic
points like Pearl narhor in Hawaii
and Olongapo at Subig bay in the
Philippines.
