Sounds of Insects.

An investigator has observed that
there are at least three different tones
emitted by insects: low one during
fright, a higher one when the wings
are held in such a manner that they
do not vibrate, and still yet a higher
tone when the insect is held so that
none Of its limbs can be moved. The
last, as has been pointed out, is the
voice proper" of the insect. In
some cases it is produced by the stig-
mata of the thorax.
The grasshOpper is said to produce
its musical sounds in different ways,
by rubbing the inner surface of the
hind legs against the outer surface of
the wing covers, and by rubbing to-
gether the upper surface of the front
edge OF the wings and the under sur
face Of the wing covers. The insects
that employ the former methods only
Stradulate at night.
Crickets use the first method; the
green or long-horned grasshopper
and certain species OF jumping grass
hoppers other methods. 1t is said
that butterflies utter a click, and the
same is true of many kinds of beetles.
The cicada, or 17-year old locust ut
ters most remarkable note or series
of sounds. A tired bee huns in E

ADVERTISING TRICYCLE..
Unique Arrangement For Printing on
Sidewalks.

A most ingenious arrangement by
which Il tricycle. is converted into IL
complete printing establishment has
been invented and patented by Il
Frenchman. 1t is chiefly to be used
for printing advertisements OH side
walks. on smooth surfaced streets. on
planks or boards to be used for fences.
etc. AS matter Of fact. it was pat
entered quite awhile ago. but for some
reason withheld by the owner.
The tires Of the hind wheels are ft-
ted with spaces similar to those Of
huge rubber stamp. A regular case
Of specially prepared type is supplied.
and from this the advertisement is set
up In the tires and locked up the same
as in n regular printers form. Two
lines are. Of course. the limit of the
ad.. and the length Of these depends on
the size Of the type and on the diam
eter Of the wheels.
Immediately behind the saddle Is a
reservoir with ink. which is automat-
ically distributed to two regulation
rollers Of the width Of the tires. On
asphalt or other dark surfaces white
ink is used; on board sidewalks. black.
Chromatic effects may also be obtain
ed by printing one line red and one
block. or whatever color the customer
desires.

Best Results Obtained by Immersion
In Distilled Water.
A number of Russian chemists have
been conducting experiments to de-
termine the best manner of preserving
india rubber and preventing its de.
terioration. With rubber at the pres
ent prohibitive price anything which
will serve as substitute. make It
wear longer or preserve the natural
product would be most acceptable.
Strangely enough. after testing a num-
Der Of solutions 1t has been found that
ordinary distilled water gives the best
results. The rubber is simply i'm.
mersed in it and allowed to take care
of itself.
Tests of tensile strength were made
upon rubber which had been preserved
in water, limewater. n per cent solu-
ton Of sodium carbonate and a 2 per
cent solution Of glycerin In water.
The rubber in distilled water showed
tensile strength Of Il pounds. GIT
pounds in limewater. GIG pounds in
sodium carbonate. 57.2 pounds in glyc-
erin and 500 pounds in boracic acid.

orotssqus Fashions In England In the
Eighteenth Century.
Dandyism developed new phase Of
quiet richness during early Georgian
times. and the court exQuisites were

long skirted coats and gold clocked
stockings. The hats worn by the
beau were modified reproductions Of
those in fashion at Versailles, and the
art Of wearing them was shown in
the tilt In fact, different angles in
the tilt identified the wearers status
and locality.
In 1772 dandyism became again par
amount. A band Of young bloods re-
turned from an extended tour abroad.
and while in Italy they had contrived
to get several new ideas about dress
into their somewhat empty heads.
Fired with an ever growing sense of
their own Importance as arbiters Of
fashion. they formed themselves into
group known as the Macaronl club. In
contradistinction to the good old fash
ioned Beefsteak club Of London.
The Macaronies dressed their hair
In enormous side curls. with a hideous
knocker-like twist at the back. With
this exaggerated coiffure a tiny hat
was worn. which 1t was correct for
the wearer to raise with his tasseled
cane
A soft white, handkerchief was tied
In a huge bow under the Macaroni's
chin. His coat was short. and hts
tight knee breeches were made Of
striped or nowered silk. Thus garbed.
with innumerable dangling seals. two
watches at least. silk stockings and
diamond buckled shoes. the dandy
walked abroad. eminently satisfied
with himself and quite convinced that
his appearance was greatly envied.-

Pretty Heavy Umbrellas.

Tho great objection to umbrellas 100
years ago was their weight. and when
1t is stated as matter of fact that the
very smallest umbrella then weighed
no less than three and a half pounds 1t
will probably be admitted that the OBJ
lection was justiiable one. Instead
Of the thin rainproof fabrics which
now form the covering Of umbrellas
nothing better was known than leather
or oilcloth. The ribs were Of wood or
whalebone. and such thing as steel
rod was. Of course. unknown. The
stick was usually Of heavy oak. In
those days. too. many umbrellas had
the additional incumbrance of feathers
over the top on the theory Of 'shed-
ding water of q ducks back" But
the oilcloth and leather umbrellas. not
withstanding the feathers, were apt to
leak.

ASTRONOMICAL CLOCKS.
Many Precautions Are Taken to Insurs
Their Accuracy.

Their Accuracy.
10 the average person an astronomi.
cal clock IS a complicated affair. CIV
Ing the date, day of the week. phases
of the moon and other miscellaneous
Information. The facts are far other
wise. There Is no clock SO simple as
that OF the astronomer. Even the con-
venient plan Of having the hour and
minute hands mounted at the same
center Is abandoned. because 1t makes
more intricate form of wheel work
necessary. says the Louisville Courier
Journal. The observatory clock has a
separate dial for each hand, the CEN
ters of the second hand, minute hand
and hour hand being in a straight line
and equally distant from each other.
To secure accuracy further precau-
lions are taken. Only men who have
attained worldwide fame in mechan-
lcal construction are employed. The
chronometer must be mounted, not on q
wall that vibrates, but upon a strong
pier of masonry having solid founda-
ton: also 1t Is best placed underground
In a cellar to secure for 1t tempera-
ture as nearly uniform as possible, for
clocks do not run quite the same In hot
weather as they do in cold.
By adjusting a metal that has the
singular property of contracting under
heat 1t is possible to overcome the va
Ration In a measure. but the astrono-
mer prefers to provide for his clock
temperature practically the same the
year round The going of fine clock
is further affected. strange as it may
seem. by barometric pressure. The
running Is different when the barome-
ter is high from what 1t is when low;
hence the best clocks are now inclosed
In air tight cases to protect them from
outside barometric changes.

POLITICAL JUGGLERS.
BY DAN FINNIGAN.

bI DAN FlNNitAN.
The political pot is getting quite hot,
Ere long it will bubble and boil.
Men of ambition in every condition,
For office will struggle and toll.
There is big Billy Taft Oh, my, how he
laughed.
When he read about Bryan and Clark
He says, '' BY the powers the election
is ours,
We've got 'em beat right on the start. -
Now Champ, he is vicious, and Bryan
ambitious,
And they keep the pot bubbling and
stewing,
With political greed Bryan swears he
will lead,
So trouble and discord are brewing.
Said Harmon 10 Woodrow, "Now really
you should know
That you never can win in this race,
For I've got the barrel, so let us not
quarrel;
Perhaps you may get second place."
Now strenuous Teddy pretends he's not
ready,
But he keeps on boring and drilling.
If he sees any chance, you bet he'll ad-
vance,
And tell them that "Barkis is willin'."
These political jugglers, like so many
smugglers,
Are trying to fool Uncle Sam,
But our Uncle is wise, and when he deals
out the prize;
He knows how to choose the right
man.
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1911-10-27

besides, in his Republic" there
was to be no private property.
Aristotle was stern, and quite decid-
ed that women could never equal
man. Indeed. Aristotle even de-
Tended the institution of slavery.
Women is only a weaker man,
Plato ccaselessly reiterated, and he
also urged that women be permitted
to take part. if they desired, in bnsi.
ness transactions and mercantile en-
terprises.
In Athens they even were acts to
the effect that anything man might
have done through the advice of the
request of a woman be considered
null and void.
In those classic days of statutes
and philosophy, there were absolutely
no educational institutions for wom-
en-. 1t was the dream of Plato, ex-
pressed in his Republic" that
women should receive the same edu-
cation as men. Those who desired
could so to war. For the most part,
it was his intention that women
should be permitted to have the
same pursuits in common with men.
Unlike many modern thinkers who
are opposed to woman suffrage,
Plato was not of the opinion that
women could weave wool and make
bread better than could men. He
did consider that they had the same
capacities and faculties, in an in
ferior degree, perhaps, as men.
Most of the Athenians looked upon
wives as necessary evils. Plato was
the original affinity man. He be-
lieved in the true marriage o man
and woman was each one-half of a
perfect whole. destined for each
other from the very beginning.
Among his many plans was one by
which mild-mannered men were to
be paired off with strong-minded
women, and vice rersa.
Aristotle, who was no friend of
woman's rights" was q married
man and the father of child. Plato,
who advocated community of woman,
lived and died a bachelor. It is not
even known whether or not he ever
had an affair." though any one
who has only turned over his Sym
postum" or glanced at the fragments
OF love poetry attributed to him, will
quickly suspect that he did not alto
gether escape at least one little shaft
of Cupid.
