washiub beside ditch running with
water. Fate had decided the matter for
him.
Some boys were passing and to them he
spoke goodbye TO the weary world and
n parting message to his wife. Then he
prepared himself for the end. That lie
might not get his feet wet in filling the

by the foot and pulled him out Of the

On the way TO the police station il was
explained to Thornton what he had been
attempting 10 do, and so sincere was his
gratitude 10 the officers for saving his
life that the tears came Ike rain. He
was booked on charge OF drunkenness.

IDAHO PROFESSOR
STUDYING INSECTS
John Aldrich of Gem State Uni
yersity Making Interesting
Investigations.

John Aldrich. professor OF biology at
the University Of Idaho. position which
he has held for eighteen years, has been
doing some scientific work In this neigh
Dorhood for several days and leaves to-
day for Ogden for the same kind OF work
Ehjs Is The investigation, for the purpose
OF classification, tho various insects that
frequent the salt lakes OF Utah. Nevada
and California
Prof. Aldrlch was on an institute tour
OF Idaho and when this work was finished
in the southern part OF the state he came
direct TO Utah. He first went to Brig
then came To this city. Since coming
here he has examined the flies and gnats
at Saltair and along the shores of the
lake near Garfield. He Will spend sew
Pyramid. Winnemucca and Walker lakes
near Reno. New. besides numerous
smaller lakes in that vicinity. He will
then continue his Investigations on the
shores OF Mono lake and the Salton sea
in California. He expects TO devote the
entire summer to this work and Will re-
turn TO bis home at Moscow. Ida, about
August 20,
'It Is worthy of note" said Prof. AID
rich. that the small gnat which is so
common at Saltair has never been in
vestigated or officially named. 1t was
described in 1871. as it exists in the
larva stage. as the ephydra gracilis, but
the adult has never been even named.
AZ Mono lake Is a ny that lives in the
appearance and habits to the saltar
gnat, that has been used for food by
The Indians there and Is still used by
them TO some extent. These flies die on
the water and are washed TO the shores
of the lake In great wincrows. The In
di5ns gather these and, after rubbing off
the shell, eat the body of tho insect,
which is oily and considered to be very
nutritious"
During his STAY In this city Prof. Aid
rich has taken note of tho work being
done by local scientists for the destrIc-
ton OF the alfalfa wccyll. lie says that
they are doing much more good in this
work than he had expected TO see and
that he thinks they will curb this pest
10 such extent that alfalfa may still
be grown with profit
Prof Aldrlch left the University OF
Idaho Immediately after commencement
and says that the university has just
passed very successful year. I'VE have
n small university he added. but we
arc doing good work and our graduates
arc being recognized throughout neigh
boring states for their efficient work
The cities in the sou!hcrr part OF the
state. which n few years ago scarcely
knew where tho university was located
now take a pride In IL and VIC feel sure
that our success In the future is Ger
