Secretary Wilson Now the Bug Man

preventing" any insect The law Of
ficers, after due consultation, admit
ted that while they understood how an
insect might be repelled or destroyed.
they did not see how they could pre-
vent an insect or mitigate him.
The law is specific in declaring
against misbranding insecticides. If
well-meaning citizen of the United
States puts up a compound that he
says will rid a house of, say, bugs,
within a specified length of time,
there seems no way to determine
whether the compound is misbrand-
ed, unless the secretary of agriculture
goes to the premises and holds
stop-watch on the reaches, to see
whether they mitigate or vacate with
in the time limit.
The biological survey has issued an
informal statement already, saying that
the law is remiss in that it does not
include rats among the insects to
be prevented An effort is being made
to see whether the law officers are
willing to consider rats as insects.
Dr. Henshaw of the biological sur
vey and Prof. Crittenden of the bu-
reau of entomology are going to call
to their aid the legal advice of Judge
Pugh of the police court. Judge Pugh,
while assistant district attorney some
years ago, established a reputation in
the police court by arguing that; le-
gally, lop-eared rabbit was chicken
within the meaning of the act. If any
body can prove sewer rat to be a
centipede Judge Pugh is the man, it

Vast Sum Which We Spend on Peanuts

By far the largest part of the crop
is consumed from the peanut stand,
the little whistle sign of the roaster
being the signal for the average
youngster to suggest to dad or ma
that some of them would be very ac-
ceptable, and the paternal or mater
nal parents Willingness times
out OF ten-to invest. Yet there are
millions of bushels that go to the
fattening of hogs throughout the
south, the feeding of poultry, while
the vines, often cured as hay, feed
thousands of head of cattle, and even
old Mother Earth is nourished by the
roots of the plant, which furnishes
nitrogen to it from the air.
The farming of peanuts during the
past five years-not longer than this
has become an established industry
of this country. At present about five
sixths of the crop comes from Vir-
ginia and most of the balance from
Tennessee, Georgia, West Virginia
and the Carolinas, although most of
the southern states contribute some.
AS the peanut industry has increased
so has the use of all nuts grown
nightly as an article of food during
the last decade, and the entire fam
lily now forms a most important part
of the diet of the physical culturist

One of the questions which will be
taken up by General Wood is the
physical test of officers. Since Presi-

that it would be modified. General
Wood is one of the foremost of phys

Instead of being made milder, it is
not unlikely that the tests will be
made harder than ever The detail

other matter that will be disposed of
by General Wood very soon. He has
also number of ideas regarding CO.

ard the militia which he will prob
ably attempt to put into practise.

How Old Mother Earth Hides Her Age

of the Earth" from more philo-
sophical point of view
The age of the earth always has
been a subject for discussion among
men of science and largely without
any definite agreement among the
representatives of the different
branches of studies. on account of the
different points of attack.
Briefly, the more recent discussions
as to the earth's age have placed the
time as follows:
Lord Kelvin, in 1863, estimated the
earth's age at 2O,OOO,OOO to 4O,0OO,OOO
and perhaps 9S,OOOOOO years.
Clarence King and Carl Barus, in
1888, placed the age at 24,O0O,OOO
years.
Lord Kelvin in 1897 revised his fig
ures from 2OOO0,O0O to 4O,0OO,O00
y6rs.
De Lapparent, in 1890, said it was
$1,000, 900 to 9O,000,000 years.
Charles d. Walcott, secretary of the
Smithsonian institution, in 1898, placed
the maximum age at 70,000,000 years.
j. Jolly, in 1899, estimated the age
of the ocean at SO,OOO,O00 to 90,000,000
years.
w. ]. Sollas, in 1909, placed the
age of the ocean at 80,000,000 to $780,
100000 years.

SOLDIERS FIGHT FIRES
200ReguIars Battle With Flames
In Yellowstone Park.

At Livingston, Mont, soldiers
of Uncle Sam fought all night to save
one of the most beautiful Fairgrounds
of the nation from devastation from
fire. The confagrations, which have
been ravaging the northwest, invaded
the Yellowstone National park.
From Bell mountain came the news
that the forest was ablaze. A pillar of
smoke rising over St. Mary's gave sig
nal of a similar disaster Still graver
conditions were reported from south
east of Lake Yellowstone by smoke
grimed couTieTs.
AS quickly as orders could be given
200 regular soldiers stationed in the
park were marching against the foe.
That large areas of the magnificent
trees fostered as a part of the national
forest reserve were doomed to denuda-
ton was apparent from the first, but
the courage and discipline of the sea-
soned fire fighters eventually stopped
the advance of the Bell and st. Mary s
mountain fires, saving miles of wood
land from destruction.
At Lake Yellowstone the fire was
more stubborn. 1t was feared that the
less in timber as well as injury to the
beauty of the park, would be great.

FOUR SHOT DEAD;
FAMILY TRAGEDY
W. J. Myers. Wife, Son and Her
Father the Victims.

At Chicago, ILL.,, a quadruple
tragedy in which a woman, child
and two men were slain, Mortified the
neighborhood around the home of F.
S. Bouton, 1884 Cottage Grove avenue.
Each of the four had been killed by a
bullet and the police are convinced
that all of the fatal missiles were
fired by W. J. Myers. the proprietor
of shooting gallery, a crack shot.
All the bullets had penetrated the
brains of the victims. The victims in
the tragedy are:
w. J. Myers, 40 years old, the sup
posed slayer and suicide.
Mrs. Grace Myers, 25 years old, wife
Of w. J. Myers.
Ralph Myers, years old, son of W.
]. Myers.
F. s. Bouton, 55 years old, father
Of Mrs. Myers.
Myers had been living apart from
his wife and child and this circum-
stances, together with the fact that
the revolver was found beside him,
convinced the police that he shot the
other three and killed himself.
Only four chambers of the revolver
were empty and this established that
each of the victims was killed by one
bullet
Policeman Dennis O'Neil of the Cot
tage Grove avenue station was pass
ing the building, when he heard four
shots fired in rapid succession. He
hurried to a patrol box and sent call
to the Cottage Grove avenue station.
Then he ran up the front stairway of
the building, but was unable to enter
because the door was locked. Detec-
tives Sausman, Ames and Leyhan ar
rived in a patrol wagon few minutes
later and the door was finally forced.
The police found all four dead or
dying in the fiat. The body of Mrs.
Myers lay on the kitchen floor, with
blood flowing from a wound in her
head In a narrow hall eading from
the kitchen to the dining room was
the body of Ralph Myers, the son.
Bouton, wounded, lay on the kitchen
floor near the rear door, a lew feet
away from that of Mrs. Myers. Myers,
the husband, was found dead across a
bed in a room adjoining the kitchen.
The theory of detectives investi-
eating the crime is that Myers
planned the triple murder and his own
death while brooding over his domes-
tic discord and his wife's action in
causing his arrest and having him
placed under bond to keep the peace.
