or later must come crashing about
their heads or those of their descend
ants. 1t would. of course, be impos.
sible to prevent altogether the de-
struction caused by such an upheaval
as that which, destroyed Messina and
Reggie: and 1t is difficult to imagine
any form of architecture that could
withstand a tidal wave. But the pos
sibilities of wholesale ruin might be
to some extent mitigated. even in the
case OF the most violent shocks, by
the use of specially constructed one
story dwellings. built Of comparatively
light materials. 1t is done in Japan.
and 1t is to be hoped now that It
may be tried In Italy and other coun-
tries subject to seismic disturbances.
Fortunately. there is n brighter side
to such disasters in the heroism which
they evoke from those on whom de-
wolves the duty OF rescue and recon-
struction. The king and queen of
Italy have set noble example Of
personal service, while the peaceful
cooperation OF men of many different
nationalities (among whom Britain
has been proud to see her sailors
prominently in acts OF heroism and
succor will have done much towards
the cause of international friendship
and goodwill.

How Men Differ.

The difference In men is often aston.
ishing. The corn growers near Des

the son of a stonemason recently
came among them and made as high
as $500 an acre out Of tomatoes.
In the last seven years this young
man has made $4,000 worth of i'm.
provements on little farm of only
thirty-two acres. He uses very little
manure. but a great deal of water.
He makes $4,000 a year on lettuce
alone. Other men find farming n
slow business while this young man
makes a fortune out of 1t with all
ease. The difference is certainly
strange,

its back. On this account OF 1t may be
easily distinguished from the other
form. II Is also somewhat larger than
the plain green beetle. measuring
about a quarter Of an inch long. The
black spots are in three rows across
the back Of the bettle. each row with
four spots. Usually these beetles are
found along with the plain green
beetles on the silks OF the corn, but
they are not SO common. The black
spotted BEETLES are found not only in
the fall. but all through the season
from early spring as well. There
seems to be at least two broods of
them during the year.
The life history Of the southern
corn root-worm is similar to that of
the northern form. except that 1t is
passed through in a much shorter
time. In the corn fields the eggs are
deposited In the ground near the

yield.
Preventive measures. Rotation OF
crops is the most effectual preventive
of rootworms. The beetles of the
root-worms usually deposit their
eggs in the old infested fields. By
changing the corn from such field to
another which was not in corn the
preceding year. these eggs are left
behind.
There are two kinds OF these
worms: the northern corn worm"
and the southern corn root.worm.-
Since the habits Of the two are very
different in some essential points, a
few further remarks concerning them
are given below. The two are east.

Thomas w. Lawson, the Boston mil

through enterprise and originality than
through economy that financial success
may be attained.
"The time is past" he said the

to be practiced by an old Boston res
taurateur who recently died.
"This old fellow was economical to
excess, but while he puttered about his

About fifteen minutes said the
plumbers.
