Homo Indu.trx In coIorade.


This state is gradually coming to
the front as a manufacturing center.
Raw materials are much cheaper and
easier to obtain here than in the
extreme eastern states. The home
market for machinery and articles OF
all kinds is good. partly due to the
patriotic spirit of the citizens to help
home industry by their. patronage.
1t Is rather hard now for some Of
the factories to obtain skilled labor at
this time. but with our boys and girls
growing up and learning the different
trades this difficulty will be overcome.
People can live much cheaper and bet
ter In this state than they can In ~
eastern states on account of the lowvF
prices OF farm and garden products.
BY the increased home demand for
these products prices will Of course
become higher. This Is where the
farmer gets his pay for patronizing
home industries.

DISCOVERS NEW FLEA.
Dr.. Carroll Fox of Philadelphia Finds
Six Tcotned Blind Species.

Six Tcothed Blind Species.
To Philadelphian, DR.. Carroll Fox,
has fallen the distinction of being the
discoverer of q new species of flea, and
entomologists throughout the world
are much interested in it. not only be-
cause of its novelty, but because the
discovery is so closely allied to the
fight against the bubonic plague, which
was prevalent for several months in
San Francisco. DR.. Fox is with the
marine hospital service in that city, be-
ing sent there to investigate the ways
in which the plague is transmitted.
1t was finally discovered, after pains
taking experiments, that feas on the
bodies of rats infected with the plague
were the mediums of transmission TO
human beings. There followed war
fare Of determination against the ro-
dents.
Pursuing his investigation, much of
which was, of course, accomplished
with q microscope. he discovered the
hitherto unreported specimen of flea.
He found it to be without eyes and
having Il row of six teeth. Instead of
being black, as is the ordinary well
known variety, this new insect is a
| light brown. 1t is quite as voracious
| as other members of the same family
! but is capable of a much higher leap
DR.. Fox has not named the species, q
| privilege which is his as the discoverer
