The Deadly centipod.

Travellers In tropical lands say that
the sight Of full grown centiped is
enough to affect the strongest nerves.
says the Chicago News. Ten to twelve
inches IL the average length, though
larger ones have been seen. 1t is said
that the common hen Is its most dan
gerous enemy. She will attack 1t with
delight apparently and sometimes
swallow 1t, head first. without killing
it. The cat hunts 1t, but Is careful
never to put her head near 1t. She has
a trick Of whirllng 1t around and
around on the floor SO rapidly as to
stupefy It, and then when she sees
good chance she will strike IL dead
with her claws. There are supersti-
tons about the centiped that have a
good effect In diminishing its tribe
One OF them is that II you kill one you
viii be sure to receive money soon,
and another Is that even to dream Of
killing one Is good luck

gives to his left hand neighbor the
names Of three things, beginning with

give three other things to the next In
line When any one Is unable to con-
meet the names he receives he must
pay forfeit, and the words are pass

FOR THE CHILDREN

Shadow Tag is Jolly Game.
Shadow tag is good game for the
early morning or late afternoon. when
the shadows are long and clear. says
the Washington Star. II may be- play
ed in any clear space where there are
one or two trees or q house to afford
shadows, for the shadows are the
goal" where the players are safe,
and the child who is 'it' instead OF
tagging the others tries to step on
their shadows as they run from one
shade to another. Ii is great fun. for
unless you are careful your shadow is
apt to bob up unexpectedly and will
be stepped on before you know 1t. We
played shadow tag very successfully
on a roof garden. where two sheds
gave US the necessary shade and an
open space Of sun In between made
the shadows Of the runners very dis
tinct
In cold weather. when you need
exercise and don't know exactly what
to play, 1t is a good idea to run races
and let one Of the children find prizes
for the racers. The prizes may be any
thing she finds at hand-the more
ridiculous the better-but 1t makes the
race more interesting to have them,
particularly II they are presented with
speech. 1t is well to let all the play
ers have prizes. though of course the
winner receives the first prize.

FEDERAL COURT DECISIONS

The decisions of Judge Hanford,
in the case of the Washington state
railway commissioners against the o.
II. & N. railway company, Is one of
the most dangerous opinions handed
down by federal judge in many
years. II 1t stands, the states are prac-
ticalIy barred from exercising any
supervision over railways or other
corporations doing an interstate bus
mess. His decision Is revolutionary
because 1t depriyes the states OF the
right to govern and control their in
ternal affairs without the interven-
ton of the national government. The
states have certain rights guaranteed
them by the federal constitution and
the decision OF Judge Hanford de-
prives them OF many OF these rights.
His logic is not good, for the reason
that II state cannot regulate rates
Of transportation lines between
points within Its borders. II Is moth

les whims and demands. instead OF a
free and independent state of the
union. It's laws are then all
subject to the supervision OF
the federal courts and not one
law passd by the state is sacred from
that unwarranted interference. The
federal courts have been gradually
intrenehing themselves on the rights
OF the states for number OF years
and because there has been no open
protest have become holder and bold
or. until their decisions, many Of
them. are dangerous to the liberty
and rights OF the people as guaran-
teed under the federal constitution.
1t Is time the people called halt.

PRODUCTION OF OZONE.
Proportion In che Atmosphere VarIes
With the Seasons.

-
Proportion In che Atmesphers Varies
With the Seasons.
The production Of ozone in the at
mospheFe is greatest in winter. It de-
creases In spring and reaches mini
mum In summer. The direction Of the
wind seems to exert an influence upon
this proportion. Europeans say that
north and east winds bring but a
small quantity Of 1t. The proportion
increases notably with the south and
west winds and with the winds ac-
companying rain and storms. CThis
being for Europe, the wind conditions
have to be reversed for the United
States.l
On the other hand, ozone Is less
abundant In the air of cities than in
the air collected in the country, in the
midst Of forests, and less in that OF
plains than in the air taken at high
attitudes. This diminution of ozone In
large centers Is due to the contact OF
organic substances. The ozone d.
minishes and disappears, and the pres
ence of this gas at any point Is capa-
BILE of giving data as to the purity of
the atmosphere.
Generally speaking. the afr contains
about one part of ozone for 100000
parts of oxygen and nitrogen. In an
atmosphere more highly charged with
this gas respiration Is effected with
difficulty. and beyond certain proper
tons its influence makes itself felt
very dlsagreeably. and 1t may exert
an irritant action. In small quaint
ties, therefore. 1t is a stimulant. 1t is,
moreover, disinfecting agent.
