no action was taken by the building
committee TO put the building in shape.
Judges Thomas A. Davis and Jay Ten
Eyck have both urged repeatedly that
the building be put in shape to be util-
lied so as to relieve the crowded condi-
ton at the county jail, and also to allow
the juvenile offenders to be detained
without being thrown in contact with
hardened criminals.
The second April grand jury, in its
rresentment narded in last Saturday,
again made caustic comment on the
fact that no attention had been paid to
previous presentments concerning the
house of detention and also referred to
the crowded condition of the witnesses
quarters at the county jail.
This last presentment caused the
building committee to sit up and take
notice, and the architects were ordered
to draw up plans In order that the
needed alterations can be made at once
and the building made available for
use. >
Seven bids were received for the in
stallation of an electric power plant at

awarded yesterday. as several members
of the committee wished further time
to consider the matter. It win be taken
up again on Wednesday.

The United States in its present

Every one respects the army and
realizes its usefulness at times, but
peace. and educating young men to
enter the ranks are not favored by
many. In this day and age, in spite
of the theory of universal peace, the
likelihood OF war cannot be underesti-
mated. and this fact makes military
education and training necessary.
Some persons think that you can
put uniform on a man and he is I'M

of an army is felt, the need of well

shortest possible time that man can

Lieut. Farmer was graduated from
West Point in 1903. After his gradu-
alton he served four years in military
posts along the Texas border and in
1907 he was detailed to the Philip

HOW INSECTS BREATHE.

Curious System of Tubes That Run
the Length of Their Bodies.
Landlubber animals have lungs and
sea creatures have gilla But insects
have neither one nor the other. They
have a complex system Of tubes run
ming throughout the whole length OF
the body, by means of which air In
conveyed to every part of the system.
As they are destined to contain moth
ing but air. they are strongly support
ed to guard against collapse from
pressure.
This support is furnished by means
OF fine thread running spirally with
in the walls Of the tube, much in tho
same way that a garden hose is pro-
tected with wire. There are generally
two Of these tubes which run the
whole length of the insects body.
Many flies, as larvae. live In the wa.
ter. Arranged along each side of their
bodies Is series of exceedingly thin
plates, into each Of which runs a Sc
ries of blood vessels. These plates act
and absorb the oxygen contained In
the water. The tail ends in three
featherlike projections. By means of
these the larvae causes currents of wa
ter to TOW over the gills and thus
their efficiency is increased.
The gnat also lives in the water as
larva. But it has no gillA There
fore it cannot breathe the oxygen in
the water, but must breathe air. This
is done by means of spicade situated
at the tip of its tail. Indeed, the tail
Is prolonged into little tube. The
larva floats along head downward in
the water with this tube Just above
the surface to enable It to breathe.
After some time it is provided with
two little tubes which act In the same
