POISONING GROUND SQUIRREL
Results of Tests In California to Xii!
Destructive Animal.

Destructive Animal.
Interesting results were recently an
nounced by the forest service as a re-
suit of the campaign conducted in
southern California by Stanley Z.
Piper, expert of the biological survey
of the department of agriculture. to ex-
terminate ground squirrels and 60
piers.
Extensive experiments were made to
determine the best means of killing off
these destructive little animals, and 1t
was found that the most effective re-
suits were obtained by using poisoned
green or ripentng barley heads. The
squirrels are exceedingly fond of this
green herbage and eagerly ate the poi
soned food placed along Their runways.
Tests were also made with oats, wheat,
barley. raisins, prunes, dried apples
and cracked corn, but these did not
prove so successful.
While green barley proved most sue
cessful for poisoning ground squirrels.
yet the difficulty of procuring a suffi-
cient supply in all localities led to
dried barley grain being tried. The
grain was treated with strychnine sui
phate, saccharine and eggs, and, al
though this combination proved very
destructive to the squirrels, 1t had
practically no effect upon doves and
quail. In fact, q deliberate attempt
was made to poison these birds at
their watering places, but no bad eff
feet resulted. The poisoned grain was
also used in fields grazed over by
sheep and produced no Ill effects what
ever.
The experiments also proved that
gophers were partial to raisins and
dried apples, and these were success
fully used in the poison experiment. 1t
was found that by sprinkling the ap-
pies or raisins with the strychnine So
luton as effective results We're pro-
duced as could be obtained by insert
ing the poison into the fruit
The experiments for determination
of squirrels also resulted In the death
of a considerable number of rabbits.
and In other experiments 1t was found
that poisoned oats proved very effec-
tive in killing both jacks and cotton
tails. Green alfalfa was also used with
good results for the same purpose.

PAULHAN, FRENCH AVIATOR.
Winner of Worlds Record For Dura-
ton of Flight at Rheims Meet.

IiOH OF dI meets
Louis Paulhan, the French aviator
who recently won the worlds record
for duration of fight at the aviation
meet In Rheims, France, is twenty-six
years old. While still a mechanic in
the workshop where the dirigible Vile
de Paris was constructed two years
ago he won a prize for toy aeroplane
at Nj. Lepine's toy exhibition. The
prize was an aeroplane offered by Vol
sin, and it was In this machine that
Paulhan made his great fight the other
day.
When he won the prize Paulhan eX-
hibited it to his friends, but as it had
no engine and he was not rich enough
to buy one it was of no use to him at
that time. \ few friends, however.
formed a little company, bought a mo-
tor and sent Paulhan out TO give ex-
hibition flights.
His experience accordingly dates
from the beginning of July OF this
year. when after very few practice
flights he exhibited his machine at
Douia. where he reached the record
height of 45O feet He also flew for
hour 80 minutes. Later on he exhib-
tied the aeroplane at Dunklrk. where
he won some $1,000 in prizes. Paul

Mems Dress.
According TO the opinion of Mr..
Thornton, who presided at a recent
conference of the foreman tailors of
London, mems dress will soon undergo
a great change and the present styles
will give way to more classic" gar
ments. Knee brooches and fancy
waistcoats will be Introduced. and the
superiority Of these garments over to-
days long trousers and waiStcoats will
insure their popularity. y Russian
nobleman who visited London Il few
weeks ago said that he cared little
whether the style was introduced or
not; he would adopt it. Two things
were necessary. he said. "shapely
calves and courage" He took with
him forty-eight waistcoats made of
various patterns of embroidered silk.

NEW ERA IN OCEAN TRAVEL.
The Lusitania's Transatlantic Record

Now the nautical sharps are figuring

Never before has man crossed the
Atlantic so quickly as did the passen-
gers who stepped ashore from the
giant Cunarder. They had clipped a
day from the ocean barrier. They had
set new standard for speed. They
had smashed all previous records for
transatlantic travel. They were the
first voyagers to leave London on Sat
urday and Queenstown on Sunday and
arrive in New York on Thursday
Science. skill and unlimited expend-
iture have been striving for Il quar-
ter of century for the prize cap
tured by the Lusitania. The six day
boat set the early records more than
twenty-five years ago. The five day
boat came along ten years later. Fri
day landings in New York have been
common ever since the christening
days of Lucania and Campania, fifteen
years ago.
Then began the tremendous struggle
to eliminate another day. St Paul
and st. Louis of the American line
clipped off few hours. The Cunard-
ers got speed up to reach New York
Friday morning. The Germans en-
tered the race. Deutschland made
wonderful speed and established rec
ords that lasted for years. Kaiser
Wilhelm II. cut off more minutes.
Lusitania and Mauretania came out
two years ago and saved more hours,
but only to be forced to anchor late at
night down New York bay outside the
four day goal. Now that it has been
gained there will start afresh the race
of shipbuilders and engine builders for
a three day record.
