MR.. INVESTOR
Pennyroys! and Fteas.

When it comes to talking about feas
the writer knows just where he is at.
When he was boy the country
swarmed with them, and perhaps one
of the things he will remember longest
will be the sleepless nights and the tor
ments that the feas gave him when
sitting in Quaker meetings, where he
did not dare to scratch. For many
years the people seemed to put up with
them as an evil from which there was
no escape. yet there was an efficient
remedy growing on every farm in the
shape of modest little plant called
pennyroyal, which is familiar to every
country bred boy. The odor Of this
plant seems very offensive to many
kinds of insects. A freshly bruised
bunch Of the plant put in small bag
and rubbed on the bed linen and then
left In the bed will evict the last flea
In very few minutes. A few drops
Of the essential oil Of the plant. which

sprinkled about room infested with
heas will clear them out.-Forest and

1T is an age of electricity" declar-
ed one CT the engineers of the Cen
eral Electric Co., "and thee lectrical
industry is yet in it's infancy" Even
now electricity applied to motors
gives the best form of motive power
in the world. In the electric arc and
incandescent lamps it produces the
best artificial light known to man
lighting thousands and thousands OF
buildings, cities and villages. AS a
source of heat it is rapidly coming to
the front. The electric furnace gives
the highest temperatures know min
the laboratory. Electricity is SO
tra,table it can be transmitted hun
dreds of miles over slender copper
wires to run at once the tiny dentist
drill or the mammoth machinery of a
steel mill. 1t is in daily use in nearly
every business. in all professions and
by large percentage of the worlds

New and greater electrical wonders
are produced every year. What the
future will bring forth no one car

by rubbing amber and glass. No one
knows for a certainty the truth about
electricity. Some held that it is a
form of matter, kind of force, va
riety of motion, disturbance in the
ether and still others that it is a
weightless fluid.
For the sake of simplicity. however:
scientists assume that electricity may
be fluid; that is, in the sense that

the form CT magnetism or has pc
culiar influence to bring about chem
ical action. We live surrounded by
electricity, but it becomes evident to
us only when in motion or when the
quantity present in anything is more
or less than the average amount.
Electricity flows through all sub
stances in some degree; some almost
wholly oppose it's passage and others
allow it to move with the greatest
freedom. Those materials through
which electricity passes easily are
called good conductors; these which
obstruct it's passage are called non
conductors or insulators. Silver is
the best conductor, copper being al
most as good. The latter metal is
used almost exclusively where good
conductors are wanted. Over al 900,
600 pounds of copper were used last
year in the electrical industry. AL
the metals and their alloys are con
ductors. Iron and steel conduct fairly
well, but less than one-seventh as vel
as copper. All gases, including air
are practically absolute non-conduct
ors. So are oils. resins. glass, crys
tails, gems, porcelain, clay, dry woot
and leather, rubber, gutta percha, pa

and cotton cloth.

> Washington, D. c., May "a two
ton racing automobile moving at
something more than a mile a minute,
while an impenetrable cloud of fog
gray rock dust hung to the horizon
and marked the speeding course of
the big machine, was the sight wit
messed by travellers on the famous
conduit road a dozen miles from
Washington on Thursday, April 49,
The seemingly pronounced violation
of the speed ordinances was coun-
tenancad by two of the nations fed
eral departments = agriculture and
war-however, the rushing motor car
having been pressed into requisition
by L. w. Page, director of the Office of
public roads, and DR.. Allerton S.
Cushman, assistant director, in the ef-
fort to determine the effects of auto
mobile traffic upon macadam high
ways, and the stretch of thorough
fares was placed at their disposal by
war department officials.
While the racing car and others of
various weights and types made many
trips over the selected stretch of a
mile and half at varying rates of
speed, from to IS miles an hour, a
corps of skilled photographers, equip
ped with the most modern devices for
'photographing vehicles at very high

1t has long been known to highway
engineers that automobiles were rap.

which, first, Tresauget of Limoges and
later MacAdam of Ayr, worked wher

They reasoned that a road surfaced
with bits of stone would improve un

tires of the passing vehicle would con
stantly crush the stones and form
rock dust particles; that those rock
