No Filth, No Flies.

"Swat- -the-fy" campaigns for 1915
are we'll on. The elimination of this
filthy and dangerous insect is desir-
able end. The house-fy. in addition
to being demonstrated agent in the
spreading of typhoid, is srongly sus-
pected, on more or less conclusive ev-
idence. with relation to "a large mum
ber of infections, including cholera
dysentry, the infantile diarrheas, dip
iberia and contagious oDhthalmia.
About a billion flies were killed in
various campaigns of leila state
ment which seems impressive until
one considers the number of flies which
escaped the slaughter. In Washington
D. G. alone, some 1000 900 flies we're
killed by the swat the trap.
drowning, sulphur fumes and even by
electrocution. Or. Howard. of the
Bureau of Entomology, points out that
in the congenial climate of that city
seven generations of flies may be pro-
duced in a sinle summer. One female
fly will lay on an average batch of
120 eggs; and if all these eggs from a
batch laid in the middle Of April
should hatch and reproduce their kind
in like manner, there would be by
autumn, from single female fly, a
progeny of nearly six thousand billion.
And as each female may lay four
patches of eggs, the figures for their
unchecked development through a
summer stagger the Imagination.
To "sgat the fly" bv the billion
therefore, means little, says "The
Journal of the American Medical As
sociation," so long as those that sur
vive have unchecked opportunity for
breeding. There is even more weight,
therefore, in Stockbrdge's statement
that during 1911 filthy breeding places
were cleaned up, which, if left alone,
would have given opportunity for the
propagation of incalculale billions.
Better than "swating' the fv is the
prevention of its breeding by cleaning
up the places where it thrives-the
inssnitary privy, the dead dog and
horse allowed to lie unburied until
putrid. the dung-heap, the uncovered
garbage can and the spittoon, How
this can be done. can be learned from
the health departments of many states
and municipalities, and from civic
leagues and like organizations.

MOONS OF THE UNIVERSE.
Besides Our Own Luna Twenty five

Besides Our Own Luna Twenty five
Others Are Known to Exist.
There are in all twenty-five moons
besides our queen of night Mars hav-
ing two, Jupiter eight, Saturn ten, IRA
nus four and Neptune one, says the
Philadelphia Public Ledger OF course
new lunar additions are likely to be
discovered at any time, although it is
improbable that Mercury and Venus
have any satellites or that Mars has
more than two.
The two known moons of Mars are,
indeed very minute, neither being over
fifty miles in diameter. On the other
hand, Jupiter's first four satellites, as
well as Ganymede, are each larger
than Queen Luna, Ganymede having a
diameter of about $3.50 miles Titan
of Saturn possesses diameter approx
mating 5000 miles, while that of Nep-
tunes sole satellite is about 1900 miles.
AS respects our own moon, Queen
Luna has only forty-ninth the size
and one-eighty-first the weight of our
earth. Luna's distance from US varies
a good deal, from 221 900 miles to 252,-
900 miles Her mean or average dis
tance is about 23S,000 miles.

BIackiacks.

The earliest drinking vessels for
wines and ales were those made from
skins of animals, and these vessels
still retain their popularity in the east
and on the continent. In England
these vessels We're made of carefully
tanned hides which were unbreakable
and possessed everlasting properties
The blaclsjacks, famed in song and sto-
ry, were shaped like pitchers and were
fashioned from one large piece of
leather, which was curled in the neces-
sary manner. Pitch was smeared over
the inside. These old blackiacks gave
their name to the heavy riding boots
worn by cavaliers, which came to be
called jackboots. Owing to the popu.
larity of the blackjacks the French de-
clared that the English drank out of
their boots.-London Globe.

They Grow Twenty Feet High and Are
Armed With Great Thorns.
Throughout the older parts Of Mexi-
co, Texas and New Mexico many of
the fences around the corrals and of
ten the gardens are made of "ocatilla." +"
This is a cactus-like plant growing in
stalk form and often reaching a
height Of twenty or twenty-five feet.
1t is completely covered with long,
stout thorns.
The stalk is tough, hard to cut, al
most impossible to break, and, grow
ing to the height it does, it makes an
effective protection. 1t is planted usu-
ally in three or four alternate rows
and is held together By buckskin
strings or with strong wire. 1t needs
but little water
/ believe this ocatilla fence would be
found very satisfactory to use on
country estates, and even the owner
Of a modest plot of ground would find
it a good thing. 1t prevents stock
from breaking in, effectively keeps at
distance all marauders and when in
bloom is a beautiful sight, for at the,
tip of the stalk there comes early in
summer a cluster of deep crimson, ball
shaped blossoms | remember once
the astonished almost Mortified, ex-
preston of an eastern woman to whom

fence when in blOom.-Country Life In

shoulders straighten till your back is

your chin assumes a position of mod

Hot In Summer and Seldom Really
Warm In Winter.
The EBgIIshman is always surprised
by his climate. And you may find that
surprise on the face Of the man who
never prepares for anything but mod
crate temperature 1t is cold. 1t is
hot. The Englishman has built his
house on the supposition that it is
never going to be either-just tenn
perate. In hot weather he does not
think Of electric fans, and in cold
weather he shrugs his shoulders and
endures the cold But his house is sell
dom really warm. The Englshman
has never taken to his bosom the
question of cold. The fireplace is an
absurdty 1t warns but a section Of
the room, and few can afford to warm
a whole house with fireplaces in every
corner!
Lady Mary Wortley Montagu found
in Vienna that life would be intolera-
BILE lin December without furs and
stoves. And she is surprised at "our
obstinacy in shaking with cold six
months in the year rather than make
use of stoves, which are certainly one
of the greatest conveniences of life"
SO far from spelling a room, they add
to the magnilicence of it as shaped in
Vienna and Dresden. says Lady Mary.
She threatened that on her return there
would be a stove in her chamber; but,
while the Berliner ofen is still the
warmer of the homes across the chan
mel, we stick to the expensive and in
competent fireplace that warns only a
corner of the room and one joint of
the human body at a time.-London
