What an Esrttauases b.

can earthquake" writes FRANK 4.
PeFret formerly honorary assistant az
the Royal Vesuvian observatory, In
Century, Is an undulating vibration
Of the ground resulting from some
sudden movement Of the underlying
strata. This may be produced by a
/ volcanic explosion, the breaking OF
stratum Of rock under strain or the
| sudden intrusion Of lava between the
strata or into a fracture, the types re-
spectively known as volcanic, tectonic
and intervolcanic. My own impression
In experiencing these shocks was that
Of a rubbing together of masses IN
der pressure, which throws the adjoin-
! ing material into vibration. If you put
! a little water into a thin, wide mouthed
crystal goblet, wet the finger tip and
rub 1t around the rim, a sound will
be produced and the water will be set
In vibration like the ground waves OF

FOR THE HOT DAYS
Dippings That Really Refresh the

Is Better Than Cold.

There is nothing more refreshing
these hot days than bath. either not
or cold The former in very hot
weather is more cooling than the cold
plunge, which acts as too much OF
tonic Baths are not equally refresh
ing Plain soap and water are all
right for cleansing. but when a bath
is intended to put new life in us
when half dead with heat, 1t Is well
to choose some of the medicated ones
whose tonic values were well known
to the ancients. If nothing better Of
fers try a lemon bath This is much
In favor with Cubans and deserves to
be better known. Squeeze the juice
of two lemons into a bath of not
water When it has cooled sufficiently
It will be found wonderfully refresh
Ing Witch hazel baths are cooling
and refreshing, particularly If one is
troubled with prickly heat, mosquito
bites or stiff joints. Pour in good
ly supply Just before stepping in the
tub. Sea salt has all the value of dip
ping in the ocean If used in ones
own tub. 1t can be bought by the
package and should be dissolved sew
eral hours before bathing. If one
suffers from mosquito bites or hives
try bath in which little carbolic
acid has been dissolved. The itching
is quickly allayed. Care must be taken
not to have the solution too strong.
Boracic acid is also good used in the
same way.

lures Feed on Insects That
Destroy Crops.

7, A number of years ago blackbirds
were exceedingly abundant through
eastern Nebraska They were so plen-
tiful that the farmers believed they
were damaging crops, so they began
poisoning the birds A single grain of
corn soaked In strychnine was enough
to kill blackbird. In the years that
followed, great numbers OF these and
other birds were destroyed during the
spring and fall. At the same time
thousands of quail. prairie chickens
and other game birds we're killed in
every county to supply the market.
As the birds began to disappear,
swarms of locusts took their place.
These insects Matched out In countless
numbers and began devastating crops.
Few fields Of grain escaped damage.
Many were entirely destroyed Where
blackbirds, quail, prairie chickens,
plover and other birds remained, they
took to living entirely on locusts In
such localities fair crops were Sc
cured solely through the assistance Of
the birds
The members of the United States
chronological commission who wit
messed the work accomplished by the
birds in this region. said the results
were so complete that 1t was impossi.
BILE to entertain any doubt as to the
value OF birds as locust destroyers.--
