ORIGINAL "oId GLORY"

The American national flag was
named "Old Glory" in 1881 by William
Driver, skipper hailing from Salem,
Mass, and captain of the brig Charles
Doggett. Just before leaving Salem
for the Southern Pacific ocean, a
young man presented Captain Driver
with a large and beautifully made
American flag. When it was sent
aloft the captain christened it "Old
Glory" After retiring from active
life, Captain Driver settled in Nash
Vile, Tenn. in 1887, and the flag that
had accompanied him to the Pacific
was displayed from the window of his
home At the beginning of the Civil
war 1t was fired upon. Then it was
kept out of sight until February II,
1862, when General Nelson appeared
at Nashville with division of the
Union army, Captain Driver presented
the flag tod the general to be hoisted
on the capitol After the war the
original "Old Glory" was carefully
treasured And on the death of the
captain in March 1886, the flag was
presented by the compiled of the "Dri-
yer Memoir to the Essex institute at
Salem, Mass, where it is now secure
ly kept.

17-YEAR LOCUST HARMLESS
Officers Of Bureau of Entomology Say
There Is No Danger to Be Feared
Feast for the Birds.

Don't hurt the pretty things; they
are harmless" and Don't be scared"
are two don'ts issued by the depart
ment of agriculture with regard to
the 17-year locusts which have now
appeared Farmers all over the coun-
try have ben throwing all kinds Of
fits after reading the scare heads"
of newspapers resulting from the ap-
pearance of the insect, and are send
ing in scores of letters to the de-
partment asking for immediate relief,
says a Washington dispatch to the
Baltimore American. Every time the
department predicts the appearance
of the 13-year or the 17-year cicada it
endeavors to impress on the farmers
the fact that it is harmless and should
occasion no alarm, but all this good
work is thwarted by newspapers
which endeavor to find something SEN
sational in the curious workings of
nature.
So harmless are the cicada consid-
cred that many years ago there was
a brood planted artifcially in the
grounds of the department of agricul-
ture They came out on schedule
time at the end of II years, and as
near as could be estimated there were
about 10000 But not one ever
reached the singing stage. The birds
attended to that, just as they are at
tending to all the broods that are COM
ing out this year. The crow-black-
bird is the one that lives high while
the 17-year locust last, while the rob-
ms, the wrens, the bluebirds and even
the despised sparrow wax fat on
diet of cicada.
The officials of the bureau OF ento-
mology are interested in the appear
ance of the brood, but say there is no
danger to be feared.

Reason Why Ycur Ears Whistle.

Vibrations of the ear drum are COM
municated to the inner ear by means
Of three exceedingly small bones.
3ne of which is called the stirrup.
When this particular little bone is
displaced, however slightly. the pa
tent hears sounds which are subjec-
tive, or, to use palmer terms, noises
confined exclusively to the auditory
apparatus and not heard by others.
These sounds frequently seem like
wind whistling through crevice or
buzzing such as one hears when pass
ing under network of wires on a
windy day. Other sounds of similar
subjective origin are classified as
musical They take the form Of ring
ing bells, trumpet blasts, organ notes
and the piping of birds. Still another
form conveys to the patient sounds
such as frogs make as they sit on logs
and like the shouts of crowd at a
ball game.
Doctor Marage, famous French
aurist, recently laid before the Acad-
envy of Science in Paris the results
of his study of thousand cases or
this general sort He has found that
the nerves of the ear in certain cases
maintained the conducting position
which they assumed when they trans
mitted the sound of ringing bell or
like sound, and, like an electric but
ton out of position, kept the bell vibra-
tons from being interrupted. Other
sounds were produced by the persist
ent excitation of the auditory nerve
centers. High frequency electrical cur
rents and vibratory massage have been
used by leading specialists in the
treatment of ear troubles in these sew
eral conditions, and the results have
been encouraging.

DOOM OF THE CATERPILLAR
Diet of Lettuce Gives Pests Cholera
and the Disease Spreads Rap
idly Among Them.

It begins to look as if the destruct-
i've brown-tail and gypsy moths and
the pestiferous caterpillar have been
conquered at last. A simple diet OF
lettuce leaves, it has been found, is
the easiest and best way to get rid
of them. All you have to do If the
caterpillars are spelling your shrubs
and trees is to catch one or two OF
them and feed them on some lettuce
that has been soaking in water four
DAYS After they have eaten all they
care to, turn the caterpillars loose
again. They will do the rest.
The explanation is simple. 1t has
been discovered that watered lettuce
give caterpillars the cholera. One
caterpillar so infected quickly spreads
the disease among its fellows. In
Massachusetts the epidemic is spread
ing among caterpillars, brown-tails
and gypsies, much to the delight OF
the state entomologists, who almost
despaired of ever getting rid of the
pests.
A caterpillar suffering from cater
pillar cholera or wilt disease soon
stops eating. according to the expla-
nation offered by Prof. William Rein
of Harvard. It becomes weak and
lazy, and usually crawls up on some
object, as the trunk of tree. a fence,
q wall or other vertical surface, where
It remains without motion. In few
hours there drops from Its mouth q
blackish liquid; the caterpillar be
comes more and more flaccid, one leg
after another loses its support. and
finally the creature, reduced to black
skin, hangs dead. still holding on with
one or two of its false feet.

European School Statistics.

There are 1885, 51 schools with 49,
100000 pupils in Europe, presided over
by 1,119,431 teachers. According to
the average, there is one teacher to
every As scholars. Twelve years ago
there was only one teacher for every
so scholars. The number of teachers
in Russia is about $4,000, while those
in Germany number 10000. In Rus
STA there is one teacher to every 644
Inhabitants, and in Germany there is
one teacher in 361. In England there
are 1880 teachers occupied, which
allows one teacher to every 2S4 inha-
itants. In Germany there are three il
literates to each 1000 of population,
while in England there are ten. The
most illiterates are to be found in Rus
STA, where there are GIT to every 1000
inhabitants. In Germany 6S per cent.
of the attendance at the schools. is
composed of children between the
ages of five and fifteen; in Russia the
average is only twenty-seven per cent.

The Smallest Pension.

Great Britain's pension system is as
liberal as may be, considering the vast
number of persons carried on both the
military and the civil lists; but in one
case the record for smallness of pay
ment has undoubtedly been estab-
lished. Various factors enter into de-
termining the amount to be paid sail
ors, and these factors so combined
against one old salt that it was found
that he could draw pension of not
any more than four pence-say. eight
cents-a year
Promptly in each quarter day there
comes an official communication trans

LIGHT ESSENTIAL TO TREES
Secretary of Agriculture Issues RuIIe-
tin on Points Necessary for
Success in Forests.

The secretary of agriculture has just
Issued bulletin 90 of the Forest Serv-
Ice on Light in Relation to Tree
Growth. The bulletin is designed to
show the benefits derived by the tree
by light from all angles, particularly
that reflected on the roots.
In introducing the subject the bull
letin states: Light is indispensable
for the life and growth of trees. In
common with other green plants a
tree. in order to live, must produce
organic substance for the building Of
new tissues. Certain low forms of
vegetable life, such as bacteria and
fungi, do not require light. They ex-
list by absorbing organic substance
from other living bodies; but the
higher forms of plants manufacture
their own organic material by extract
ing carbon from the air. The leaves,
through the agency of their chloro-
phyll, or green coloring matter, absorb
from the air carbon dioxfde. and give
off nearly equal volume of oxygen.
The carbon dioxide is then broken up
into its elements and converted into
organic substances which are used in
building up new tissues.
Light also influences Transportation,
and consequently the metabolism Of
green plants. 1t Influences largely the
structure, the form and the color Of
the leaf, and the form of the stem and
the crown of the tree. In the forest it
largely determines the height growth
OF trees, the rate at which stands thin
out with age, the progress of natural
pruning, the character Of the living
ground cover, the vigor of young tree
growth, the existence of several
stored forest and many other phe-
nomena upon which the management
Of forests depend. A thorough under
standing, therefore, of the effect of
light upon the life of individual trees,
and especially on trees in the forest,
and a knowledge of the methods by
which the extent of this effect can be
determined are essential for success
full cultural operations in the forests .

In the SheepfoId.

Regularity in feeding is of much
importance. If it can be SO arranged
as to feed at 8 o'clock in the morning
and 4 o'clock in the afternoon, it is
about the best that can be done. No
live stock will make better use of a
few turnips or other roots, in winter,
than will breeding ewes. It is advis-
able. too, to give them little grain.
It helps them wonderfully. If the
fiockmaster knows just when to ex-
pect lambs he can often save the life
of nice lamb by watchfulness and a
little care at the right time in seeing
that the mother takes due care of it..
Possibly he may lose a few hours
sleep during the season. but when he
comes to sell the lambs and put the
price in his pocket, he can reflect
that this lost sleep is paid for.
