How Flyinu-fish FIv,

Flying-fish must have been watched
ever since the first mariners ventured
upon the sea, and yet the question of
the manner in which they perform
their flights is apparently unsettled.
DIR. Abel, an eminent Austrian au-
thority, maintains that the initial i'm
petus by means of which they launch
themselves is due to screw-like move
ments of the tail fin, and that the
wings are in no sense propelling or
gans, but act simply as parachutes.
1t is maintained by other observers
that the flight of fying-fishes is due
to incessant and extremely rapid
movements of their wing-like fins. 1t
has been suggested that there may be
differences in the manner OF flight of
different species of fish, and that con-
sequently there may be truth in both
views.

Iron-concrete Road

The increasing weight of wagons
in recent years has aroused the in
genuity of road-builders. Among the
different suggestions for improving
the two principal requirements of the
modern road-enduring strength and
absence of dust.
Nothing but iron is fitted to resist
the wear of the electric and other
motor vans, and iron incorporated
with cement is now used on the high
ways of France. "Ferro-cement" is a
mixture of mortar (made of cement
and sand) and iron sharings, known
in the French market as iron straw"
(paille de fer). The iron so used is
in fine, regular, yarnlike threads
which, Immediately after they are
mixed in the liquid mass, contract a
molecular alliance with the cement.
When mixed the mass is absolutely
homogeneous. The iron filings are
made by special machine, because
ordinary -waste-being irregu-
lar in form, could not be used. The
straws, or filings, must be regular and
free from grease and dust.
This iron-cemsnt ,C"ferro-cement'')
promises to be the preferred road of
the age of the mOtOr-wagon.

Louisville, July 12.-As a result of

In the local bucket shops and in the
brokerage houses of Chicago, New
York and other cities, August Ropke,
assistant secretary of the Fidelity
Trust company, the oldest and most
substantial trust company in Louis
vile, was arrested on the charge of
embeZzling from the bank, and 1t is
believed that when the experts who
are at work on the books of the insti-
tuition make their report a shortage OF
nearly 100000 will be found.
The downfall of Ropke comes as a
climax TO spectacular bucket shop
operations originating in Louisville,
but later extending to many cities and
extending over a period from five to
eight years. That he was not dis
covered until the present is due to
the fact that his luck for several years
prevented his being found out
While Robert w. Barr, Jr., president
Of the institution, will not state posi-
lively the truth Of the matter, 1t be-
came known that there is a probabil-
ity that all the bucket shops in the

ings may be instituted shortly which

shops in the city.

Treasury Profits.

The government profits slightly by
the destruction of stamps which have
been paid for, and the Treasury gets
the benefit of bills which are lost and
never found.
A larger source of irregular profit
lies in the failure of bondholders to
present their bonds for redemption.
Unclaimed money in the Treasury due
to bondholders amounted to nearly a
million dollars in 1861, and the sum
is much greater now. OF loan which
fell due in 1900 a sum in excess of
$4,000 remains unclaimed. Over a
hundred thousand dollars are still un-
paid of the five-per-cent. bonds which
were due in 1904. In 1907 over a
hundred million thirty-year four-per-
cent. bonds came due on July 1st.
Special inducements were offered to
secure early redemption, yet at the
end Of that month thirteen million
dollars still stood in the Treasury on
that account, although interest had
ceased.

fort of the thrice-a-week edition of
the New York World to publish the
news impartially in order that it may

spectiye of party, and for that reason
it has achieved a position with the

is, subscribe to the thrice-a-week edi-

Puttinu Ants to Work.

In Burmah and the Far East they
have a curious fashion of setting ants
to work. Sandalwood, as we know,
is worth its weight in silver, but it is
only the hard heart of the wood that
is fragrant and valuable. This preci-
Gus portion is oEerlaid by soft and
worthless layer. which forms two
thirds of the trunk of the tree. When
a tree is felled and cut into suitable
lengths, the loggers just let it lie.
Then the ants, attracted by the sweet
ness of the wood, attack TIE chunks.
Within few weeks the little insects
have finished their work, and the valu-
able heart of the wood is freed of it's
worthless sappy covering and becomes
a valuable article !of commerce

The Brave knights of Old.

The human race is not physically
deteriorating. The quotation, 1--WE
are growing weaker and wiser" Is
only partial truth. We are certainly
growing wiser, and we are as certainly
not growing weaker. The human ami
NAL is more robust and powerful to-
day than ever, capable Of greater
strength and endurance. 1t has been
demonstrated many times that the
famous knights of chivalry, the tales
of whose prowess make the blood tin.

the men of the present time. The

AT HOME WITH THE ANTS.
industrious Insects Shelter Many
Strange Lodaers.

One of the most remarkable things
in the economy of the ants nest is
the number of extraneous animals
which pick up a living therein. Some
OF these, as the aphides, are useful to
the ants, supplying them with a sweet
Juice, while others, like certain blind
beetles, seem to be pets. Others seem
to be useless, and only tolerated by
their hosts. who cannot get rid OF
them. OF the latter class appear to
be the ant-loving crickets (Myrme-
cophila) found in ants nests all over
the globe.
An account of the life history of
these ant-crckets is given by F.
Schimmer in German geological pub
lication. They get their food by lick
ing the ants, robbing those returning
to the nests with food, or the newly
fed larvae. Sometimes they are ac-
tually fed by the ants. There Is prob
ably some deception in this. for they
have learned to initiate the ants meth
cd Of demanding food. The ant does
1t by raising the antennae, and the
cricket initiates this by raising it's
forelegs. Probably the ant whose
duty it is to feed the othcrs when hey
raise their antennae is deceived by
the raised forelegs of the cricket.
These crickets lay their eggs and the
young are reared in the ants nests.

An individual, well known on the
Berlin Bourse for his wit, one morn
morning wagered that he would ask
the same question of 80 different per-
sons and receive the same answer
from each. The wit went to first one
and then another, until he had reach
ed the number of so. And this is
how he won the bet; He whispered
half audibly to each: 81 say, have
you heard that Meyer has failed?'
"What Meyer?" queried the whole so,
one after another, and 1t was decided
that the bet had been fairly won.

Disuee of TIE Sword

Mahon in his History of England"
remarks that the use of the sword as
part of gentleman's attire now out
of fashion, was a constant temptation
to draw the sword on a sudden quar-
rel. He cites the duel between Lord
Byron and MIR. Chandler in 1865, re-
sulting in the death of the latter, as
an example. The same is doubtless
true OF groups of men or nations.
where the army and navy are ready
at hand, they may be used on a sud-
den impulse. and must be used now
and then to prove their right to ex-
ist. The argument for simultaneous
and proportional disarmament is not,
therefore, the plea of extreme peace
men, but a reasonable and common
sense view of the issue. Let each ma
ton keep order in its own territory,
and let the nations make a trust to
keep international areas in good
working order. Thus an international
army and navy may supersede the
present competitive armies and navies

Hitherto dew has been used as a
beverage only in poetry. by the sun,
flowers, and butterflies. Il had re-
Gently been robbed of all its poetic
character by being used for the re-
freshment of English soldiers.
The English administration at Glib
raltar, where water is very scarce,
now collects dew by the following
very simple method: A large pit is
dug in the earth and covered with
dry wood or straw, which in turn is
covered either with earth or with
sheet iron.
The straw or wood serves as a heat
insulator and effectually prevents the
conduction of heat from the ground
to the layer of earth or the sheet iron
above. Consequently this earth or
iron cools after sunset much more
rapidly than the ground, so that it's
temperature soon falls below the dew
point of the surrounding air.
Hence dew is formed upon the iron
or the layer of earth in very large
quantities. The water thus obtained
is drained off into reservoirs and after
Qualification is used for drinking.
