Had Terrible Experience.


While his two little children watch
ed at his side, a resident of San Jose,
Cal. named Gothberg, lost conscious
ness and tossed for nearly four days
not long since in delirium, in the can
yon OF the Saratoga creek near Con.
gress Springs. During all this time
the children were almost without food
and with but little to shelter them
from the weather. The man left San
Jose to visit a friend on a ranch near
Castle Rock on the summit above
Saratoga. He had gone as far as Sa-
ratoga when he became III. but man
aged to get some distance up the
road towards Congress Springs before
he was overcome and had to stop. The
father fell asleep and raved in deli
rum. Faithful TO their father. the
children stayed by his side during
three days and three nights with only
some canned meat to eat. For a shell.
Ter they stretched two blankets over
the top OF the fence and huddled un-
der this poor protection. The party.
when found. were taken TO the county
hospital. where Gothberg did not re-
gain consciousness for some time.

PLENTY OF MONEY IN ITALY
Burden Of Financing the war With
Turkey Has Not Been Apprecls-
bly, Felt by the People.

An illustration of the hitherto un-
suspected prosperity of Italy ia the
fact that she has not had to borrow
cent Of foreign money for the ex-
pense OF her war with Turkey. This
war had cost Italy up to May IL
siT,SS0.0 900. or just 100000 a day.
since 1t began on September 81, 1911.
Nevertheless, her 3is per cent. govern
ment bonds are quoted in the markets
of Europe between 81 and 90, varying
OF course. from day TO day. Bonaldo
Stringher. director general of the
Bank of Italy, has just made an Of
fetal report stating that Italian EN-
igrants send at least s9O,o00,OO0 year
back home, while tourists spend al
most If not quite rs much in Italy.
Either one of these sources of wealth
would more than suffice to pay the
entire expenses of the war. Money
is so abundant in Italy that when
popular subscriptions we're opened in
many cities for military aeroplanes to
be presented TO the government, the
lists were filed in few days, the
total amount of the subscriptions far
exceeding those of similar nature in
France. in spite Of the wave of popular
enthusiasm for aeroplaning in the
latter country. 1t is worthy of note
that this war has cost Italy in human
lives only So officers and $40 men,
according to the official figures, an
unprecedentedly small loss for eight
months of active warfare.

On Safe Ground.

Whenever on one Of his rare holidays
Captain Goldby went to the city he
took some young relative with him as
a special treat. On one such occasion
he told his seventeen-year-old grand
son, whom he had with him. that they
would dine at real RESTRAINT and get
taste OF fancy cooking"
When they were at last seated in the
great dining room the grandson waited
lmpatiently while the captain read the
bill of fare completely through with.
out emitting n single article, whether
domestic or foreign in title. At last
he sighed and handed the card across
the table to the boy.

than any other man livin' | might as

BIRTH OF A WING.
Evolution Of the Dragon Fly From Its
Ugly Aquatic Pupa.

Ugly Aquatic PuPa.
A wonderful spectacle is presented
by the sudden apparition of an insects
wing at the completion of its meta
morphoss. The transformation Of the
grub into the butterfly. though famil-
lar. is none the less amazing. but the
evolution of the active and gOssamer
winged dragon fly from its ugly and
sluggish aquatic pupa is still more i'm
pressive.
Early on n May morning the pupa
emerges from it's cocoon at the bottom
of a ditch, swims on its back by pad
ding with its long haired paws to the
stem of an aquatic plant and climbs up
out Of the water. Then. after a mo-
mentary pause, the skin suddenly
bursts open. and the perfect insect ap-
pears with closely folded wings. which
soon unfold and assume their final
form.
The older naturalists believed that
the insect swallowed air." with which
the wings were inflated. In reality the
air is absorbed in the digestive organs
causing an increased blood pressure,
which mechanically expands the
wings. The presence of dew is also
necessary; hence the first fight is al
ways made at dawn.
This spectacle OF the birth of a wing
may be observed in dragon flies reared
in an aquarium, the atmosphere of
which should be moistened with an
atomizer when the pupa rises to the
surface. Scientific American.

Fishes and Memory.

The fact that fishes will return time
after time to bite at the hook by which
they have been caught is often cited
as proof that fish have no memories
But Yves Delage, the great French hi
olOgist, has been making some expri-
ments which seem to prove the con
trary. He says that fish return to the
hook because their greediness is great
er than the influence Of their memory.
If you place bright red disk upon a
hook the fishes will cease to take it
after being caught seven or eight times.
If you change the color of the disk the
fish will return indefinitely. The red
disk made an impression on the tish's
memory-slowly. it Is true-and when
it recognized the danger signal it avoid.

Hawks and Quail.

In conversation with Mr.. R. R.
Ham of Licking Creek township
last Saturday while in McCon-
nellsburg, he told a story of how
a small hawk beat him out of a
whole flock of quail last fall,
when he tried to feed them over
winter.
A covey Of fifteen kept near
his house, but a small hawk, too
smart to get shot, got four of
them. The remaining ele We n
then began coming to the side of
his porch for feed placed there
for them in some straw. Mr..
Hawk, nothing daunted, followed
and took regular toll of the covey
at times when the gun was be-
hind the door, until he got all but
one.
During one of the hawk s rapid
darts into the covey at the house
it evidently miscalculated the dis
tance across the six-foot porch,
and struck a window a glancing
blow, that would have killed it
had it struck squarely. 1t will
require greater eloquence on the
part of our Game Commission to
convince farmers that hawks
small or large-are not obnox-
ious.

To Avoid Drought.

Clover hay will be short in
many places in the County this
year, on account of the drought.
In a few localities where the soil
held moisture better than other
soils, the hay will be a very fair
crop. Our State Experiment sta
tian is trying to get more farm
ers to learn how to conserve mois
ture for just such occasions. Part
of the method is to plough down
more vegetable matter, as this is
the substance that absorbs and
retains moisture. 1t is claimed
that more money will be made in
after years if a short hay crop
be sacrificed, ploughed down, and
if possible, the field sowed to
something-say soy beans, Grim
son clover, &C., to plough down
a second time before any attempt
be made to take a crop from that
field. In this way, Natures law
is more nearly restored to effec-
tive operation, and a dry spell is
then not nearly so disastrous.
1t requires a lot of nerve to rob
the hay NOW of part of a crop in
order to gain advantage for fu-
ture crops; but, unless the farm
is not intended for future use,
the seeming loss of profit for one
season puts more money into the
purse for years afterward.

The HOgeStOwu Show.

A "big-little" show that is not
heralded very far outside of
Cumberland county is the annual
Hogestown animal show that
takes pl ace in a twelve-acre
woods not far from Mechanics
burg. A number of years ago
a few farmers began taking farm
animals there for a one-day show
just among themselves, select
ing a day between planting and
harvesting seasons. In terest
grew each year until one day did
not satisfy the exhibitors and
visitors, and for several years
two days have been given over to
the picnic, for that really is what
the show amounts to. Rivalry
to exhibit best stock at this big
little" show has stimulated local
breeding of better stock more
than any plan that could be de-
vised, for it is all "home made. F"
Exchanges and sales are made to
the mutual advantage of both
parties; and, altogether, it is a
little the dandiest farmers pic

To Test Road Law.

w. E. Clark, a Lycoming coun-
ty farmer, has determined to find
out to just what extent the state
highway department can be held
responsible for the condition of
state roads. The department has
been repeatedly notified of the
bad condition of a part of a road
in the vicinity of Clark's farm,
and as no effort has been made
to repair the dangerous places,
the farmer has decided to have
the necessary work done and to
send the bill to the state depart
ment. If payment is refused, the
case will be taken into court.
Clark now has a large force of
men at work on the highway.
