THE TEREDo.

Curious and Destructive Worm That
Digs Tunnels In Wood.
1t was In 1871 that Holland mar
rowly escaped inundation along its
coast because the timbers of the sea
bikes In many parts were discovered
to be quite unsound. The timely dis
covery Of the real condition Of the
bikes saved the country from an awful
catastrophe the full extent of which
was comprehended by only a few
Dutchmen.
The timbers had been honeycombed
by the teredo, or shipworm. This
creature burrows into any wood i'm
mersed In sea water. 1t makes an
entrance when young and digs chan
nels along the grain of the wood, liv-
ing and often dying In the timber. The
worm grows In some localities to a
length of twelve inches. its girth be-
ing one and half inches, and the
curious thing about its whiplike body
is its exceeding tenderness. 1t cannot
bear its own weight. 1t will break If
subjected to any strain.
1t will burrow straight along the
grain Of the wood unless turned aside
by knot or nail, and. no matter how
many Of these worms may be burrow-
ing in the same piece OF wood. they
never run their channels into one an
other. By some marvellous instinct
they keep clear of each others pre-
serves. We have seen cross section
Of log eighteen inches in diameter.

ERIN's ANCIENT KINGS.

untimeiy Death Was the Rule For
Monarchs Of Old ireland.
'Tis ould Oireland can bate them all,
begorra, when it comes to talkin' of
kings and coronations! For there was
probably king of Ireland when Noah
was building his ark There certainly
was one In 1900 B. G. To be sure,
though, Ireland's ancient monarchs
mostly came to unhappy ends, either
dying of the plague, being assassinated
or killed in battle. says London An
swers.
For instance, King Lughaidh, who
reigned In the second century, was
killed by being thrust through the eye
with spear during conspiracy. His
successor, Feargus, was assassinated
by order of the next conner, Cormac-
Ulfhada, who. however, was merely
choked to death by fish bone at
supper.
"Slain by his successor" indeed. was
the fate OF very many Irish kings, but
Of Congal Cionmaghair, who died in
500, 1t is simply but eloquently re-
corded that he died suddenly" He
was ''cruel prosecutor of the Irish
church" In 1903 King Dathy was
killed by a thunderbolt, while King
Conner died of grief in S37. And one
Of the greatest of them all. the valiant
Brian Boroihme, was assassinated in
1014 while at prayer after he had do
feated the Danes at Clontarf.
1t is hardly surprising to learn that
four Of Erin's kings resigned their
crowns to become peaceful, cloistered
monks.

His wrono Lead.

Some forty years ago at Aldershot
the camp was commanded by Sir
James Yorke Scarlet. a Crimean vet
eran. On the occasion in question he
was directing some sham fighting. In
g manner then usual he was leading a
line of skirmishers of one force against
another many yards in front, as In
earlier times he had led the heavy
brigade at Balaclava against three
times It's numbers. To soldier of the
younger school it seemed a preposter-
GUS proceeding. and Sir Evelyn ven
tured to criticise it.
Sir James replied: Young man, have
/ not ordered you twice to hold your
tongue7 If like to lead my skirmish-
ers, what the Is that to your
Sir Evelyn replied. ''Ten thousand par
dons, sir. but it is the enemy's line in
retreat you have been leading for the
last ten minutes" He was shortsight-
ed and did not wear glasses, so was
unable to see the distinguishing mark.

CAN'T READ THEIR LIPS.
When Actors Do Not Face the Audi
ence II Bothers the Deaf.

When Actors Do Not Facs the Audi
encs II Bethers the Deaf.
Time and time again we're asked
to have our actors face the audience
squarely when speaking lines that are
Of great Importance" a theatrical
manager said recently. THE explana-
ton for the request is generally the
same that deaf people In the audience
who depend on lip reading rather than
hearing lose the run OF the play II
some important lines are spoken by
person whose lips can't be read. An
actor or actress who's stuck on posing
In profile is always the despair Of the
deaf people in the audience, as they
say it's almost impossible to read lips
In profile.
"Out ticket agent hears another side
Of the same question. People tell him
when buying tickets that some one in
the party Is stone deaf and must read
the lips Of the actors In order to fol
low the play. Then they ask him on
which side Of the theater these par
ticular seats should be located to make
this lip reading the most satisfactory.
Often the stage setting decides which
way the actors must face, and II a
deaf person gets on the wrong side Of
the house the play is practically lost"

Water Necessary For Crops.

A grass plant will in the course Of a
hot day exhale its own weight of wa
ter, and young leaf of wheat or rye
exposed to the sun may even exhale
its own weight in an hour. Expert
ments summarized by Storer indicate
that more than 800 pounds of water
pass through plant and are tram
spired from its leaves for every pound
Of dry matter fixed or assimilated by
the plant" In Wisconsin, King found
the mean amount of water used by
barley, oats, corn, clover, peas and po-
tatoes in producing ton of dry mat
ter ranged from 27O tons for corn to
SIC tons for clover, 1.-THE average for
the six crops being nearly $50 tons, OF
four acre inches for each ton Of dry

gladdened the eyes Of passengers from
the other side of the Atlantic or has 7
blinked a parting to emigrants
1t stands inland on the highest
ground in the island of ST. Agnes, and
the first light was lit on the spot as
long ago as 1850. Coal was the only
illumlnant, and the light was often al
lowed to go out But in 1900 oil lamps
and refectors were installed, and
flashes of the present one minute re-
volying light can be seen at distance
Of thirty miles.
Probably one Of the chief motives
which prompted the placing of guild
Ing light on the island was the reputa-
ton which St Agnes bore for wrecking
In the old days. Many ship was
lured on the rocks by false lights. and
the tradition was preserved among
seamen for many years afterward.
1t is stated that almost within living
memory a crew who were shipwrecked
on the island kept their would be res
cuers at bay with stones. They feared
that they would be massacred and
could be approached only when they
dropped helpless from hunger and ex-
haustion.
