Crow eested Three EAGLES.

Three bald eagles, housed in the
aviary at Mantle park in Spokane,
Wash, were put to flight by crow
in a pitched battle few days ago,
The crow made the attack by ripping
the shingles from the roof of the houSs
where the eagles roasted The eagles
showed fight, but were routed by the
smaller bird pecking their heads and
claws The eagles flew high into the
air and swooped down in the regula-
ton fashion, but the crow, which
earned its spurs in previous combats
with hawks and other marauders, was
equal to the occasion and lodged
cleverly when unable to counter the
wing blows and bill jabs. Attendants
at the bird house say the fight was
lively from start to finish, adding that
if it were not for their interference
there might have been one or more
jobs for the taxidermist The crow
escaped without losing drop of blood
or even a feather, while the so-called
"monarchs OF the air" will be kept
busy for some time getting their
plumage in shape. In the meantime
the crow is the hero among the birds
at the park

Why Arkansas Voted Against the
Income Tax.

Arkansas has receded from her po'
sition of antagonism to the federal
constitution amendment authorizing
an income tax. When the measure
was first brought up in the legislature
they voted it down, but now they have
reconsidered and voted for it. The
trouble in the beginning was that the
people of that state did not under
on immigrants, from the word in
come, and as they are trying to in
duce people to stay there instead of
passing through, it was but natural
that they should oppose a tax on the
prospective citizens.-Temple Tele-

QUEER CHINESE BUG
Tenodera Sinensis Has '.ppeared
in This Country.
Curiosity From the Orient Said to
Have Been imported by Green
house Owners to Destroy
Insects.

Philadelphia, Pa.-The TepOdera
Sinensis or Chinese Mantis is in our
midst nowadays and the insect ex-
perts at the Academy Of Natural Sci
ences on Logan Square have been
kept busy recently answering ques-
tions as TO what the queer-looking In
sects are and where they come from.
Philadelphia Is about the only
American city that Is the home OF
the Chinese Mantis. About 10 years
ago a number of the insects were
brought to this city from China on
some plants that had been imported
by the Meehan Nurseries, in German
town Gradually the mantis spread
through Germantown, and are now
rather abundant north Of Market
street. That they will in time spread
throughout the city and suburbs. and,
perhaps, in time throughout the coun-
try, seems probable.
The mantis, according to DR.. Henry
Skinner, Of the Academy of Natural
Sciences, has no sting, but has rath-
er large mouth and will bite If an
nOyed. Several weeks ago a woman
living in Germantown became terrified
when one of the insects flew against
her arm. She declared that the bug
stung her and that her arm was bad
ly swollen for several days
Not day has passed that several
persons with the insects in bottles
have not come to the Academy to
nave their pets examined. The man
is lives on smaller insects, such as
flies, mosquitoes and gnats. Accord
ng to DR.. Skinner, the bug is really
valuable. The eggs Of the mantis are
laid in autumn and hatch In spring.
About the last of August the mantis
becomes full grown and lives until

AT THE STATE CAPITAL.


Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 24.-Many of
the counties which have large acreages
and large productions of wheat, corn
aud oats. are not producing as an aver
age yield an acre as is produced in the
smaller counties where the acreage is
got SO great or the production SO large.
The average yield for the state is not
growing less in tic staple crops, but
has maintained 4 fair average for the
last twenty years, and is increasing
slightly. These facts are brought out
in some statistical figures recently COM
piled by Thomas W. Brolley, state sta
tistician.
Many conditions affect the average
yield, but persons who have studied crop
conditions throughout the state declare
the better yield in counties which do
not have the greatest acreage or pro-
duction is due to 'intensive" farming.
The 1910 statistics show the following:
In wheat product fsosey county led in
point of acreage, but did not show up
in the lis CT ten counties having the
highest average yield, and was second
in poin. OF total production. 1t was
second to Knox in this respect. having
about 72.5oo hushSls less than Knox.
although it had 5000 more acres sowed.
Of The ten counties having the great
est average yie.d. eight were not in
cluded In the list OF ten having the
largest productions. One of these, Tip
pecanoe, led the list Another was
Wabash. second in point of average.
