A Standard Of colors.

TIE call for international standards
an kinds is becoming every day
more inSiStent with the progressive
MITIGATION OF the industries of the
world. The latest demand OF this kind
s for an international standard OF
co'orS, Chemists, manufacturers Of
lyestuns and pigments, and many
others would benefit by such a stand
ard. It is suggested that when once the
desired color scheme has been decided
unon. the best method of perpetuating
the standards and rendering them
available for comparison everywhere,
would be by means of colored glasses
with whicL a tintimetor could be con-
structed. 4 tentative instrument OF
this kind, based on an arbitrary color
scheme, has been made.-Youth's com.

HARD-W0RKlNG SWISS DOGS
They Are Used as Draft Animate
and Are Not Always Well
Treated.

An amended law for the prevention
Of cruelty to animals, such as that
which came into force In England on
New Years day. is much needed in
Switzerland Not that the Swiss as a
nation are cruel to animals, one OF
the best proofs of which is the num-
Der OF sleek cats about. For when
people have learned to be kind to cats
they have generally learned to be
fairly kind to animals in general
But, whether from thoughtlessness or
some other cause, there Is q good deal
to be desired in the way draft dogs
are treated in Switzerland. Dogs, as
every visitor to the country must
have observed, are still employed
there for drawing or helping to draw
all kinds of light carts. Most milk.
men and bakers employ dogs when
taking around milk or bread. Butch.
ers and vegetable fruit sellers also
use them. These dogs are, OF course,
all of'strong build, but Of very differ
ent breeds. those most commonly en-
ployed being Of the st. Bernard or
mastiff race. On a market day the
streets OF Berne are full of them.
AS rule they do not look i'll fed and
their harness fits them well. Never
theless, It is evident that they are
often hard worked, for they may be
seen lying stretched full length asleep
on the cold, wet ground, or even on
the snow, and this, after they have
been heated by the exertion of pull
ing, frequently causes pneumonia or
rheumatism.-Pall Mall Gazette.

PLAN TO FIGHT MOSQUITOES
Colonel Gorgas DevlsIng Improved
Methods Of Combating Pest In
Canal Zone,

Soldiers Of the regular army who
are In the canal zone or are to go
there for the purpose Of defending
the fortifications will be pleased to
know that experiments are going on
now with kind Of fortiflcation that
has to do especially with the health Of
that region. Col. william G. Gorgas,
medical corps, U. s. A., chief sani-
tary officer has worked out scheme
for a permanent lining Of bitches
which will make them proof against
the breeding activities of the mos
quito. Having found that by con;
trolling the incubation of insects, the
fever situation was always kept In
hand, the zone sanitary department
turned Its attention to the bitches
which are so fertile q place for the
production of mosquitoes, and the
idea was hit upon of lining or "fortl'
flying" them against the mosquito, So
now there is being tried a Gatun a
new scheme for permanent ditch lin
mixture Of sand, cement and cinders
After a while there will be no chance
for the poor mosquito at all in the
zone. The army sanitarians are now
making tests to ascertain the effect
Of wind upon the travels Of the insect,
both against and with the prevailing
air currents, and 1t is thought that
approximate or exact data along that
line will have a marked effect upon
the cost of anti-malaria work, Nc
data are available to show that the
anopheles, or malaria insects, are
blown by the wind or travel with it,

Time Told bv Shadows.

Among curious clock novelties is the
shadow boudoir clock. With 1t there
is no need of getting up to strike a
light or turz on the bulb. All that is
necessary is to touch a button and
the time is flashed on the wall, after
the same fashion that signs are
flashed on the sidewalk. When the
owner of the clock retires he turns a
night dial to the ceiling and when he
presses a bulb the electric light re-
fleets from the dial through the lens
and appears, giving the correct time
in shadow on the ceiling.

Cling to Their Superstition.

The Chinese, like the Indians, have
their medicine men. The medical mis-
sionaries have done an admirable
work in China, and now, albeit as a
last resort, portion of the 100000
600 Of population will appeal to them
in preference to the native doctors.
The London Lancet says; in some
localities the natives may still be
found burning large quantities of gold
and silver paper along with incense
in the hope Of averting, for. example,
threatened invasion Of their homes
by cholera, plague, or smallpox, or
firing guns and beating cymbals in
crder to frighten away the malignant
spirits likely to give rise to mischief"

Paris Restaurants Increase Prices.

The eye- increasing rise in the price
Of food in Paris has resulted in the
posting OF notice In restaurants and
cafes to the effect that in order to
insure their clients being supplied
with first class food or liquor the re-
staurants find themselves, much to
their regret, obliged to increase their
prices. They cite potatoes as an in
stance which necessitated the raise.
Some months ago potatoes were SELL

Diamond Industry.

The diamond industry, which in 1908
suffered severely from the effect of
the 1907 financial crisis in the United
States, commenced to show decided
Improvement in the beginning of 1909.
The rapidly increasing prosperity Of
the United States, which absorbs 60
per cent. of the diamond production
of the world, caused renewed pur.
chases, so that in the early spring all
the diamond shops Of Amsterdam
were at work in full force to supply
the demand. Conditions have steadily
improved, and the trade prospects are
exceptionally good.
