BEASTS ON SPECIAL TRAIN
viii Travel From Hamburg to New
Rome Zoo-Giraffe TO Exercise
on Long Journey.

Rome.-More than two thousand
wild animals bought from Hagenbeck
of Hamburg and destined for the new
zooIogical garden here, will be con-
viewed In special trains from Hamburg
soon. The journey will occupy eight
or ten days and cages adapted to tray
cling have been built for many Of the
beasts.
If the giraffe in the collection was
permitted to stand with his head
through a hole in the car roof he
would be decapitated the moment his
train entered the first tunnel So he
will be Gagged lying down and restrain
cd in that position. But the train will
halt occasionally to allow the giraffe
to take exercise.
The work Of feeding and caring for
the animals on the Journey is worrying

Honolulu Man Tells of Experiments
in Hawaiian isIand-One Method
by Use of Gas.

New York.-Two new methods OF
exterminating mosquitoes, which have
been adopted with great success In
Honolulu, have been recommended to
the New York health department by
Ernest Mott Smith, secretary of the
territorial government, who Is ma
king his first visit to New York In
five years. One of the new methods
of combating the mosquito is by the
use of gas, while the other is the en-
ployment of mosquito fish.
/ The gas method, according to Mr.
Smith, was discovered by accident
1--WE started using OIL" he says
"but there was complaint that this
gummed up the sewage drains, and
then our chief sanitary officer hit
upon the use of calcium carbide. One
day in cleaning out his automobile
lamps he threw some of the calcium
carbide into an old bucket in which
were a lot of embryonic mosquitoes
The next morning he discovered that
the wigglers were all dead. He made
some experiments and found that cal
cium carbide was almost as inexpen
sive as oil and more effective, Sc
since then we have been killing mos
quitos by gas.
Then we employ mosquito fish
They are little creatures from an inch
and a half to two inches long. You
can take a jar so black with wig
glers that you cannot see through the
water and put one of these fish into
it, and in half an hour there will not
be a single wiggler outside the fish
The fish are as transparent as glass
when empty, but after such mea
their bodies are black with the wig
glers they have swallowed"

C. j. Blanchard, Statistieian of the

Teacher and Mechanic.

Chfcago-"By demonstrating con-
clusively that representatives Of a
great variety of occupations can turn
farmers and prosper on the new lands

rigation bitches of the United States

Blanchard, statistician Of the service,
in passing through the city today on
his way to Washington, these pro-
jects have assured the success Of the
government undertaking in accom-
plishing it's principal purpose.
ct was not the object of the recla-
nation act merely to provide more
land for those already engaged In
farming, but to provide way for the
people in congested cities to get back
to the soil and establish homes for
themselves where they can achieve
financial independence and live more
contented lives.
There was some question, OF
course, how these people, suddenly
turning to farming, would succeed.
The results have been most encourag-

Adequate Rest Is Necessary.

Prof. Frederic s. Lee Of Columbia
university, New York, writing on the
subject, THE Physiology Of Rest and
Exercise" In the Journal of the Out
door Life for June, shows by expert
ments on dissected frogs the way in
which exercise tires the muscles and,
in fact, all the organs Of the body. He
says, There is no known antidote
to fatigue, unless it be rest, with all
that rest implies. Sleep allows the
reparatiVe process of rest to be
performed most quickly and complete
ly. A moderate degree Of fatigue, or
ever a considerable degree, when not
too often incurred, is not detrimental
to a healthy cody and is even to be
advised. The healthy body Is pro-
vided with great recuperative pow.
ers, and does not rapidly succumb to
even excessive demands on its en-
ergy. But it should be allowed the
proper condition for recuperation, and
that condition is adequate rest. There
is danger when the fatigue Of one
days labor is not eliminated before
the next days work is begun. The ef-
feet may be cumulative, the tissues
may be in a continued state of depres-
sion, and the end may be DISASTROUS

A farmer should not loan money out

should lay up a few dollars for rainy
days and then build a large comfort

home with a beautiful lawn, and
sweet scented flowers, and tall and
friendly trees. Vines should climb up
the walls of the house and hang their
pretty blossoms about the lattice;
pots of beautiful flowers In the win
dows should shed their fragrance
about the house.
A woodshed should Join the kitch-
en-; the gallery should surround the
well; the water should be drawn by
the use of a pump; every window and
door should be screened to keep out
the flies and mosquitoes; a cask
should be kept near the back kitchen
door to pour the Stops in, the sun and
air should be given free access to
every part of the buildings and sur.
r0undings.
