bareback, harnessed with a piece Of thread
to a card, was able to draw o load weighing
1913 times its own weight.
In a second test, a bareback placed un-
der an inverted glass dish was able to push
a load l41 times it's W weight.
In q third trial, q hardback was able to
move a load equal to 400 times It's OWE
weight. In this trial the insect was placed
under a small metal box which was so shall
low that 1T rested directly on the beetle, and
the load was partly carried and partly
dragged.
In a trial more recently made,'it was found
that the figures already published gave no
adequate idea of the real strength of this
small insect. A beetle weighing O.s52
grammes WAS placed under "a glass paper
weight which had q hollow on the under
side. The thickness of the beetles body
was greater than the depth OF the hollow III
the glass, SO that when one end of the papar
weight rested heavily on the insect the other
end rested on the table. AS the insect
showed its ability to move the paper-weight
additional weights were added until q load
OF DISC grammes was moved. This load
was actually moved forward, not twisted
about, SO that the whole bulk must be con-
sidered to have been moved.
The proportion of weight of insect (0*352
grommes), to the weight of load, $3.50
Grammes is found to be l to about 1,473.
In oth>r words, the bareback mlved a load
1,473 times its own weight. This is "a
record of remarkable strength. This great
strength has probably been developed in
these insects to meet the requirements Of
their habits of life. The bareback grub
lives in the soil and after pupation in the
earth the adult finds it necessary to force
its way to the surface, and to accomplish
this requires the ~exertion of a great amount
of strength.-49riculturaI NetoS, 1Ith July.

A LESSON IN TOXICOLOGY.

This IS the time of year when poison ivy"
is most dangerous, for the young shoots and
newly maturei leaves are much better
supplied with the volatile oil that so i~rritate
the human skin than they are later in the
year. 1t is also the time of year when peo-
pie. not familiar with the appe lrence and pro-
perties Of the pant are roaming the fields in
tho greatest numbers; constantly exposing
themselves to q toxic substance the effects of
which are always uncomfortable and not
infrequently serious.
Rhus toxicoIendron grows in considerable
Quantities in the city parks arl o9materles.
it abounds in the suburbs, and is to be found
almost everywhere in the real country:
Nobody is altogether imnune to it. while Il
few it can poison from a distance of several
or many feet. Antidotes innum 3rable have
been recommended from time to time, ana
many Of them are IN more or less extensive
USE, bat as always-when medical opinion
differs widely and persistently as to proper
treatment, the cause of the Disagreement is
the fact that none of the treatments is salts
factory. After the irritation of ivy poisoning
is once we'll started, palliation AMI abbre-
Walton of the suffering are about the most
that can be expected from any remedy.
The time to act is immediately after
exposure. The hands, Of course, are most
often affected, and the best thing to do
is to remove the irritant oil before it has
worked beneath the outer layer of the skin.
Water is useless, since in it the oil is
insoluble, but alcohol, if promptly applied. is
usNallyeffectual with those not particularlysus-
ceptible. For those who wish to try an exper-
iment, it may be stated that The New York
Medical Journal quotes in apparent hope
fulness q doctor who writes in The Thera-
fAI1fin Go2atfo GoViDn tbof sodium GnlphIfp
in supersaturated solution will C re rhus
poisoning within three or four days, even
in severe cases. 'The solution according
to this authority, 'leaves the parts with
the appearance Of having been w%hitewash-
ed" which is at least interesting. at
quickly relieves the burning, itching, and
swelling, and cnuaes no irritation. The APP
p~lication is also effective in the eruption,
which is apt to return each Spring in per-
SONS who have been once attacked"
Possibly this remedy, like so Il any of it's
predecessors, is most effective in cases that
would get well in three or four days if
nothing at all were done, but il is given
for what it may be worth. The best of all
ways to escape ivy Poisoning is to learn to-
know the plant at sight and then to keep
away from it. Rhus toxicodendron has a
m~alicious sly close resemblance to the common
woodbine, but the fact that it's leaves are in
groups of three instead of five always be-

There are square miles of the beau

Storage OF Potatoes.
+. r. BENNETT.

In community that produces
many potatoes, storage houses be-
come necessity. In colorado the
underground or dugout storage
house has proved the most success
full. Potatoes stored in an ordinary
storage room lose weight rapidly and
soon become shriveled and of podf
quality. The underground storage
combines all the qualities for keep
ing potatoes in the best condition.
Possibly the most important re-
quisite is to keep down the tempera-
ture of the cellar. These cellars
should be built lengthwise with the
currents of air so that in the fall
when the potatoes are put in, draft
through the cellar can be established
at night to carry off the heat brought
in with the potatoes during the day.
The practice is to fill in the bins in
layers OF not more tnan one foot each
day and lei this layer cool down dur
ing the night. After the potatoes
are all in, the ventilation is regula-
ted so that the temperature is kept
as near freezing point as possible
without freezing the potatoes. This
ventilation ls necessary, not only to
regulate the temperature, but to keep
the air pure and dry. If the air be-
comes foul and damp. moulds will
grow and dry lot or Fusarium will
develop. Many potatoes are spoiled
in the stores and in the store rooms
of dwellings. Frequently load Of
potatoes is taken to a grocery and
stored in an above ground store
room where the air is warm and the
room light. 1t is thought that be-
cause the potatoes are in sacks or
barrels that they will keep until sold
out and used. Such is not the case.
however; very little light, espe-
clally where the air is warm. will
make potatoes unfit for food in two
weeks.
The same is true in the home.
The potatoes are frequently stored
near a furnace with more or less
light. Before the sack or barrel is
all used the potatoes become greened
by the light and are not only un-
wholesome, but to a certain extent
poisonous.

Steamboat Pilot.-The Republican
county papers are printing canned
editorials sent out from state head
quarters begging the people of Routr

publican party on account Of the
vicious forest reserve policy. In
stead of attempting TO Justify the
antics of Pinchot, which would bt
too raw for the people to swallow
the aforesaid canned editorial,
makes the statement that Bryan
favors the rotten system even more
than Roosevelt and Taft. a lie from
start to finish. 1t is not forest re-
serves that are Objectionable, but the
method Of their administration. The
Democratic national platform strikes
a powerful blow at the abuses of the
forest reserve, and Bryan stands
squarely upon the Democratic plat
form. 1t has come to a pretty pas.
when an administration has to con.
