THIS SOLID EARTH A JELLY
lit ouivers and vibrates, Responding
to Wind, Water and Frost,
Say Scientists.

The "solid earth" is evidently a
missioner; at least, two Germon sci
entists claim that the land is almost
as unstable as the sea.
They, by long series of obser-
vations, have proved that the earth
has regular waves. In Germany these
oscillations, are extremely small,
have a duration of between three
and ten seconds, and seem to have
sonse relation to the waves of the
Yt%th sea.
The most curious discovery was
that the seismograph at Goettingen
shows very irregular oscillations of
the earth, having periods of from
three-quarters of a minute to three
minutes, which have some sort of a
co2nection with the frosts of south
eS&srn Europe. These oscillations
are at a maximum at six o'clock in
the morning and diminish until
three in the afternoon.
Even the wind has set up vibra-
tons in the soil that the instruments
are delicate enough to detect.

dinner at Sherry's in New York, the
conceit of a certain playwright.
ale is indeed conceited," said a
young woman novelist. "In congrat-
ulating him on the success of his last
comedy, told him he was the great
est living playwright, and-do you
know-he didn't seem at all

"No, of course not" said Mr.. lie
Gallienne, ''you should have told
him he was the greatest playwright
that ever lived"

SERVICE RENDERED BY BIRDS
Their Function 10 to Suppress Insects
That Play Havoc With the
Farmers Crops.

Among the creatures that render
service to mankind the birds occupy
a foremost place. 1t is their func-
ton to suppress the insects that play
havoc with the farmers hard-earned
crops.
Fifty-three per cent. of the food
Of birds in one locality was found
to consist of the larvae Of the dis
understanding mosquitoes. Horse
flies are the burden not only of
horses, but Of other valuable stock,
and the larvae Of this fly are the
natural food of several species Of
birds. The fever tick, so injurious
to cattle, is the natural food of the
hlldeer and the plover. Corn, cot
ton and other crops are destroyed to
a large extent by grasshoppers, and
there are at least 90 species Of birds
that feed upon grasshoppers, Grass
lands and grain crops in general suf-
fer greatly from various insect pests,
which are destroyed in vast multi
tudes by birds. The greatly dread
ed boil weevil is food for the plover,
the killdeer and others of the feath-
cred tribe.
1t is a common experience to see
birds following the pillow and con-
suming grubs that are destructive to
garden and other valuable plants.
These friends of the planter should
in every state be protected by rigid
legislation.

kept from splitting and breaking by
applying a little olive oil to them
once or twice a day.
Do you find scaling fish an I'M

AErER AUTO scoRcHERs

Majestic in their wrath the night
police today declared that they are
going to enforce the automobile or
dinance to the letter if they have to
bust a gallus in the attempt. The Of
ficers say that "jay driving" is caus-
ing a lot OF trobule on the streets.
While many drivers of horses are
guilty Of this practice the autoists are
the worst offenders. The autoists
seem to enjoy turning the corners on
the wrong side of the street and they
switch across the cross walks in a
manner dangerous to pedestrians. A
few nights ago two cars attempted to
turn the same corner. One was on
the wrong side of the street. An aged
woman was caught between the cars
and narrowly escaped being run

end waiting until somebody is killed
