BEAUTIFUL AND UNIQUE
PUBLICITY BUILDING.
Palm and Bamboo Structure which Will
Fill All with Admiration
All Home Material.

The description of the plans fol
the publicity building. the con,
struction of which is already or
foot, sounds like a scene from
fairyland, and THE HERALD does
not doubt that the plan will be
even more beautiful in execution
than IN description. Entirely oil
native palm posts, bamboo and
palm leaves, built after the most
artistic design, and surrounded by
palms. trees, Spanish daggers and
other trees characteristic of this
section, and situated near the
station where passengers from the
North alight, it IS sure to attract
every eye. The building will be
constructed with palm posts, in
their native state, the walls being
of bamboo and the thatcll of Palm
leaves. These materials were all
donated by the Indiana Cooperative
Canal Company, the Piper planta-
ton and Adolph Jagou. Mr..
Benton of the Piper place not only
donated the material, but is also
lending teams to deliver it, and
will give his services gratis to the
supervision of the work of con
structing the house.
Charlie Starch has also genera
usly done his part by donatins the
heavy willow rafters which will BE
used for the roof.
1t only remains now to secure
the lumber for the floor and the
hardware. There will be very
little of the latter needed, as near
ly the entire structure will be put
together with the native Spanish
dagger fibre.
Most of the citizens have res
ponded literally to Secretary Her
mans request for. subscriptions,
and it is believed the success of the
building is not only assured, but
it is going to be a thing of which
every citizen may be justly proud.
The interior is to be most artis-
tically arranged also.
A telegram from General Man
ager Miller today notified Secretary
Herman that the ground near the
station might be had, and the en-
terprise is now being pushed. The
building will probably be ready by
the next homeseekers' excursion.

Supt. Bailey Says Shade Trees
Of the City Must Be
Trimmed.
PROSECUTION THREATENED.

Another threat has been made by
the police department in regard TO the
enforced trimming of shade trees.
This time it is by the superintendent
and he made special request that the
newspapers give the matter publicity
He was informed the newspapers had
sounded warning at least twice prev
ious and it is about up TO the police, if
anything is to be done. He replied:
We'll there is no doubt about it this
time. The police have notified about
$50 persons TO trim their trees and if
it is not done, there will be prosecu-
ton"
Threat number 2 deals with the
owners of lots who permit dirt to
wash down across the sidewalks. San
itary Inspector Young called the atten-
tion Of superintendent Bailey to this
matter and Bailey told the newspaper
men to add an item in regard to this.
In many places about the city soil has
washed from unsodded banks across
the walks and in wet weather the &C
emulation of mud impedes walking.
This must be cleaned away, or there
is liability to prosecution and the SUI
perintendent says it will come.

At GLEN MILLER
Young Coons Killed and Eaten
BY Elders.

Harry Meek, township assessor, has
presented the zoo at Glen Miller park
with a coyote, which has been placed
in the cage with the gray wolf. The
coyote is much smaller than his more
savage cousin. The wolf has shown
no inclination to abuse the coyote
The number of coons in the park has
been kept very low in the last
two years owing to the ten
denotes of the older members of the
family. Young coons are killed and
eaten by the older ones and as the
result all the young ones that have

been destroyed befare gazing strength

istence. They have not even had a

The name bookworm is made to Gov

is worm, though perhaps the fish
moth and silver fish come nearer to
1t than any of the others. There are
the book scorpions and mites, which
are not insects, but are primarily car
nivorous. Their presence in books may
be due to the fact that they find there
animal as well as vegetable food. This
is certainly true of the scorpions, which
feed on mites, book lice and other
small insects. The book lice, cock
roach, silver fish and fish moth can have
no reason for infesting books except
their liking for farinaceous substances
such as are used in and about the
labels and bindings of books. The
damage done by them is largely confin-
ed to the exterior or interior of the
bindings themselves The white ants
feed principally ON wood, and in and
about books there is more or less wood

voracious feeders. The moths and
beetles are the borers and burrowers
They seek retired places to lay their
eggs, where the larvae will have plenty
of food at hand when Matched. They
will sometimes tunnel from one cover

RICHARD BURBAGE.
He Was a Great Actor and Shake
spcare's Leading star.

spcare's Leading Star.
March 16, 1918 or 1919. Richard Bur
bage, player, died at Shoreditch, Lon
don.
The first Of the great English tragic
actors, Burbage was in every way
worthy to head the long roll of Eng
lands famous players. The son of an
actor, the friend and companion Of
Shakespeare, it was through him that
many of the heroes of the dramatist
first spoke to the eager playgoers who
thronged the Globe theater. He was
the original of Romeo, Hamlet, Lear.
Othello, Macbeth, Shylock, Richard
III. and many other of Shakespeare's
leading characters, and his name
stands next to that of the great poet
in the licenses for acting granted by
James /. in 1903 to the company of the
Globe theater.
His powers as an actor were not his
only claim to distinction, for he was
also a successful painter. The fame of
his abilities held a prominent place in
theatrical tradition for many years,
poem in his honor, dedicated to one OF
the great players of the day, being
written as late as the time of Charles IL.
His death, which was probably the
result of paralysis. caused the poets to
turn their thoughts to his successful
career, and it is from the numerous
elegies then written that most Of the
information concerning him must be
gathered Few players have ever had
the good fortune to be so well liked by
the dramatists Of their time, and all
praised him, one even lamenting that
his death hath made a visible eclipse
Of playing"
A shrewd, careful man in his bust,
ness affairs, Burbage left an estate
producing a yearly income of $500,
large sum for a player in those days to
bequeath to his heirs. Beloved and
respected by all, he survived his great
master by only a few years, his grave
bearing the simple, expressive epitaph
exit Burbage." - London Saturday

ing of Plants.
ChlorophyI is perhaps the most i'm
portant co:oring substance in the
world, for upon this substance depend
the characteristic activity of plants, the
synthesis of complex compounds from
carbon dioxide and water process, upon
which the existence of all living things
is ultimately conditioned. Only in
very few unimportant forms devoid of
chlorophyll can the synthesis of COM
pick from simple compounds or from
the elements be accomplished. The
function Of chlorophyll may only be
comprehended when its chief physical
properties are understood. These may
be best illustrated by placing gram
Of chopped leaves of grass or geranium
in a few cubic centimeters of strong
alcohol for an hour.
Such a solution will be of a bright,
clear green color, and when the vessel
containing it is held in such manner
that the sunlight is reflected from the
surface of the liquid it will appear
blood red, due to its property Of fluor-
escence, that of changing the wave

as to make them coincide with those Of

| light which has passed through solu-
| ton of chlorophyll. however, that the
greatest insight into it's physical prop
| critics may be gained. IL such a ray Of
light is passed through a prism and
spread out on a screen. 1t may be seen
that there are several large intervals
| of dark bands in the spectrum. The
rays of light which would have occu-
pied these spaces have been absorbed
by the chlorophyll and converted into
heat and other forms Of energy. This
energy is directly available to the pro-
toplasm containing the chlorophyll, and
by means of it the synthesis Of COM
pick substance may be accomplished.
