humps and Measles.

Probably the most popular pub
lie school boy i'll England is the
public school boy who had the
mumps, spread it and compelled
the disbanding of the school re-
Gently. That means three weeks
extra holiday for the whole school.
Such splendid chances come but
seldom TO the school boy. Eton
now and again gets a few weeks
extra holiday through floods. But
its rival, Harrow, being on a hill,
looks furiously across the few
miles. 1t cannot get flooded out.
1t can only hope for mumps or
measles.
There is nothing like measles to
scatter a school, and if you take
measles in the right spirit it is

writer has had his measles and
enjoyed every one of them. He
lay triumphant in bed with his
whole world of servitors minister

grateful to him. Measles, red

L0CUSTS DUE NEXT YEAR
Early Spring Will See Advance Guard
of Seventeen Year Bugs.

Seventeen year locusts are due
in West Virginia next year and
brood No. I will make its appear
ance in the early spring, while
brood No, ? will arrive in the
spring OF 1917. Getting rid of
these pests is subject now being
dealt with by state entomologist
and in their biennial report, much
prominence is given this class Of
vermin. The locusts injure plants
by puncturing their twigs and de-
posting their eggs. 1t is said by
persons who have made a study
OF this subject that if plants are
given good coating of some ma
terial Objectionable to the locusts,
the injury will be either entirely
eliminated or diminished consider
ably, and thus make the plants
distasteful to the locusts. Plants
that are injured may be treated,
however, and the vermin extin-
guished.
Special attention is called by
the entomologists to the injury
wrought during the past two years
to orchards and nurseries by vari-
Gus kinds Of pests and warnings are
being sent out, recommending that
owners of plants, trees, ect., take
extra precautions early against
this Injurious insect. The seven
teen year loCusts have been absent
from our midst for many years and
its return has been looked forward
TO with dread as it generally means
poor crops due to their harmful
influence on all classes of growing
fruits, grain, plants, etc, Within
a short time the locusts will come
from the south and deposit their
eggs to be Matched out in early
spring and even now, it is stated,
that to give all trees and plants
good coating of some material dis
tasteful to the locusts, would
prove a benefit.
1t is said that many injurious
insects and vermin are impaired
into the United States with nursery
stock, and special care should be
inspected and treated, especially
for gypsy and browntail moths, two
OF the most hurtful insects that
have ever been imported here from
European countries. Many other
insects and diseases are brought
here in this manner and the time
of the visit of the seventeen year
locusts, is said always bring with
il an abundance of other vermin
which proves disastrous to any
thing growing .-Wheeling Regis

CEMENT HOUSE GREAT INVENTION
Edison Says He Will Cast His First
Cement House Soon.


Two years ago | said that / was
working on plan by which | hoped to
cast a house out of cement as a foundry
man cast a car-wheel out of iron.
now feel safe in saying that l have
solved the problem. All my preliminary
experiments have proved successful.
and IN December or January. | expect
to cast my first house. If Il succeed. as
feel certain shall, the cement house
Will be my greatest invention. 1t will
solve the problem of housing. 1t will
take from the city slums everybody
who is worth taking. Why, | shall
make 1t possible to build house with a
good cellar, seven large or ten ordinary
size rooms and a bath for twelve hun
dred dollars. Come out and see nv
molds -
As Thomas A. Edison said this, he
clapped cap on his head and led the
way to his machine shop.
What he has accomplished is de-
scribed in the December number of
Munsey's Magazine.
In an open space, surrounded by
planners and lathes, were what appeared
to be the foundation walls and part of
the first story of an iron house. A
peep over the top showed that there
were two iron houses, one set within
the other with an eight inch space be-
tween. Into this space cement is to be
poured; then the two iron houses will
be taken down and the finished struc-
ture of artificial stone will be ready for
occupancy.
'1'll dig the cellar of this house with
a steam shovel" Mr.. Edison continued,
and cast it in six hours. Two locOmo-
tive cranes will lift the two hundred
and thirty-two cubic yards of cement
that the house will contain, and pour it
into the openings at the top. Cement
will pass through twelve sluice-boxes
and as it is being poured a number of
men will churn it with iron bars, at the
end of each of which will be a large
ball. The churning will be for the pur-
pose of sending waves through the
cement, so that it shall fill every parti-
Gle of the molds.'
And it is wonderful house that the
famous wizard of science intends to
build. There will not be enough wood
to make hundred-dollar fire, even if
all of it were to be consumed Floors,
mantels, picture holdings and decora-
tiOns-all will be of cement. The bath
tub, washstands and sinks will be cast
of the same material Edison saws he
can make cement bath-tubs that will
be as smooth as highly polished glass
All that is required to do this is to have
highly polished molds. Wherever beauty
is desired, an extra finish will be put on
the casting molds.
No street of Edison cement houses
will be dull thoroughfare of uniform
color and design. One house will be
built on one plan; the next on another.
One house will be gray, another red or
light green, while the third may be yell
low. Everybody can choose his own
color. Uniting the cement before it is
poured is easy.
He goes on to explain how he intends
to market his great invention, the saw
ing in fire insurance, the great economics
pOssible-in short, his plans as outlined
in this article are world-reachng in
their Importance.

REPORT OF DEATHS COMING
State Department Is Advised Record
Concerning Americans Shot by
ZeIaya VIII Arrive Soon.

Washington.-The gunboat Prince
ton was ordered by the navy depart
ment Friday to sail for Corinto, Mica
ragua, to join the gunboat Vicksburg,
already at that port The Princeton
is now at the Bremerton navy yard,
Washington, undergoing repairs.
The United States government is
anxious to know whether the time Is
ripe for the recognition of the pro-
visional or revolutionary government
in Nicaragua. Unofficial advices say
that the advance of the insurgent
forces has been so rapid that the
crisis cannot be far of. Prompt &C
tion by the United States in formally
recognizing the Estrada government
would mean the success Of the battle
to GUST Zelaya. Delay might prove
serious II the strength of Zelaya's
army has been underestimated.
A lull in the proceedings against
President Zelaya was caused by the
reception of an official notification
from the Nicaraguan charge d'affaires
that the full record of the trial of the
two Americans shot by order of the
court-martial would arrive on the
next steamer.
Before the message was received
Secretary Knox had had an interview
with John Barrett, director of the bu-
reau Of American republics, and 1t is
understood that In view of the re-
markable successes of the revolu-
tionary forces 1t was decided to wait
until Monday to see II Estrada would
be successful in occupying Managua,
in which case the recognition of the
revolutionists would follow as mat.
ter Of course and all need for Ameri.
can Intervention would cease.

the Extension Of BountIes to All
American Ships. INK

Washington. - Congress will pass
the ship subsidy bill at the coming
session Of congress and that, too,
without much opposition.
The measure, say its friends, has
passed the house In one form or an
other several times during the past
few decades, but has been blocked in
the senate as many times. This time
there will be little opposition In the
upper house., and the lower branch
taking advantage of the situation
probably will increase the sums to be
granted to all American ships engaged
In commerce between home and for
eign ports.
The measure as 1t now stands, and
as 1t will be presented to the house,
provides subsidies only to South
American and Asiatic ports, and these
are 80 meager that their effect in
building up an American merchant
marine representative Of the richest
nation in the world would not be very
great. These bounties, it is under
stood, will be increased to some ex-
tent and there will be provision for
extending the bounties to vessels ply
ing to European ports.
Friends of the measure assert that
this provision has heretofore been left
out to avoid opposition from the pow
erful syndicate operating Atlantic
liners. They now hold that the OPP
position of these interests will no
longer be able to influence congress
men in the face of sentiment that
has become sweeping.
