No Filth, No Flies.

"Swat-the-hy" campaigns for 1912
are well n The elimination of this
filthy and dangerous insect is a desir.
able end. The house.fy, in addition to
being a demonstrated agent in the
spreading OF typhoid, is strongly sus-
pected, on more or less conclusive evil
dence, with relation to a large number
of infections, including cholera,
disentery, the iufantile diarrheas,
diphtheria and contagious ophthalmia,
About a billion flies were Killed in var
ious campaigns of leila statement
which seems impressive until one con-
siders the number Of flies which es-
capped the slaughter. In Washington,
d. c., alone, I 1000, 900 flies were killed
by the swat" the trap, drowning,
sulphur fumes and even by electrocu-
ton. DR.. Howard, of the Bureau of
Entomology, points out that in the
congenial climate Of that city seven
generations OF flies may be produced in
a single summer. One female fly will
lay on an average a batch of l20 eggs
and II all these eggs from a batch laid
in the middle of April should hatch
and reproduce their kind in like man.
ner, there would be by autum, from a
single female fly, a progeny of nearly
six thousand billion. And as each fe-
male may lay four patches of eggs, the
figures for their unchecked develop.
ment through a summer stagger the
imagination. To "swat-the-Hy" by the
billion. therefore. means little, says
The Journal of the American Medical
Association, so long as those hat sur
vive have unchecked opportunity for
breeding. There is even more weight.
therefore, in Stockbridge's statement
that during 1911 filthy breeding places
were cleaned up, which, il left alone,
would have given opportunity for the
propagation of ~incalculable billions,
Better than "swatting" the fly is the

Railroad is Still Moving.

NJ. NJ. Fulkerson returned Tuesday
afternoon from a trip to Chicago, New
York and other eastern cities, where
cities, where he had accompanied At
torney III. A. Noah and II. f. Noble on
business connected with the Alva-Des
Moines railroad.
Mr.. Fulkerson was much pleased
with the result of the trip, as the hard
work that these gentlemen have ac-
complished in the past three years, on
this proposition, has reached such a
point that the biggest railroad men in
the country are readily interested it it.
The Alva men feel that they can now
go forward with confidence toward
closing up the final part of the work.
rs they can have the road financed Just
as soon as the right-of-way, traffic ar
raTgements with connecting roads, so
as to carry the freight of the new road
into eastern markets, and the thousand
and one details that go where so much
capital is involved, have been srrang-
ed for. Messrs. Noah and Noble will
arrive home in a few days. There is no
wildcat scheme in this proposition
The men connected with it have not
been promising to have the dirt flying
in a few days, bnt they have for years
put in their whole time in laying the
foundations for their enterprise broad
and deep, and now they are prepared
to interest men who do things by pre-.
senting a proposition that is safe and
practical.

veloped into the kind that crosses hills

"LoNe TIME" IS DEFINED
Remark of Governor of North Caro-
lima to Governor of South Caro-
lima Brought INTO Court.

The oft-quoted remark of the Gov
ernor of North Carolina to the Gov
ernor of South Carolina has at last
been brought into court, carefully
construed, and found not to be so
long as some other times. 1t is prob
able that 1t was the exceeding
droughtiness of the interval which
made it seem long. In a prosecution
for the illegal sale of whisky in Ala
bama, witness testified that he had
bought a pint of liquor Of the &C.
cused "a short time" before the grand
jury returned the indictment against
him. 1t was objected that this evil
dence did net show that the prose-
cution had been begun within 70
months after the sale Of the whisky,
the time limited by statute for begin
ming a prosecution. In discussing
this objection, the Supreme court, in
Wilson versus State, Sc Southern
Reporter, ia, after holding that "a
short time" might be taken in the con-
nection in which 4 was used to re-
fer to period less than IL months,
said, by way of illustration: The
expression "a long time would refer
to very different period of duration
and have a widely different meaning
in measuring time when used by an
archaeologist having reference to the
period of existence of the Egyptian
pyramids, than when used by Caro-
lima Governors with reference to the
time between drinks" The court
may be right, but probably the Gov
ernor of North Carolina measured
time as recommended by the poet
who said: I'VE live lin feelings,
not in figures on the dial."-Colliers'

OLDEST TREE IS ON cos
1t Measures 80 Feet in circumference
and Is More Than 1000
Years Old.

The tallest trees in the world are
the Australian eucalypti, which attain
an altitude of 4S0 feet. The biggest
are the mammoth trees of California.
some Of which are 276 to 373 feet in
height, and 10s feet in circumference
at the base. From measurements Of
the rings 1t is believed that certain
OF these trees are from 1000 to $500
years old. The Oldest tree in the
world is said to exist on the island of
Cos off the coast of Asia Minor. II Is
several thousand years old, but Just
how many no one has dared to say.
The tree is carefully preserved by a
wall OF masonry around it, and the
trunk is thirty feet in circumference.
But there are parts of trees in the
form of useful timber which are even
older, probably, than any on the
stump. Beams in Cd buildings are
preserved today, which are known to
be over a thousand years old. Piles
driven by the Romans prior to the
Christian era are perfectly sound to-
day, and it is known that they have
been immersed in water for onward Of
two thousand years.
Some woods have remarkably dur
able properties when immersed in wa
ter. They decay rapidly on the stump,
many rotting in from FIVE to ten
years, but wien immersed in water
they last longer than iron or steel.
An effort has been made by our gov
eminent to preserve woods indefinite
ly by treating them with oils and tar
products. Already telegraph poles and
railway ties have had their average
life extended from FIVE to ten years
by this process-Harper's.

HOW GOLD PENS ARE MADE
Metal is Rolled Into a Ribbon and
Pen Shapes Are Cut Out by
Machinery.

The tiny tip Of white metal seen on
I the under side of the point of a gold
pen may be of platinum, but 1t is more
likely to be iridium. Iridium is a very
hard metal and 1t is expensive; it
costs about four times as much as
gold. The purpose of the iridium tip
is, of course, to give the pen a more
durable tip.
The gold pen maker buys his gold
at the assay office in bars of pure "a
karat gold, which. he melts and alloys
with his silver and copper to the de-
gree of fineness required. Gold of IA
karats is used in the manufacture of
the best American gold pens, that be-
ing the degree of fineness deemed
most suitable for pen use; but good
pens made in this country for sale in
France are made of IS karats, the
French government requiring that all
articles exposed for sale in that coun-
try as gold shall be of not less than
Is karats.
The gold from which the pens are
to be made is rolled and rerolled until
what was originally thick, heavy bar
Of gold has been rolled into a thin
gold ribbon about three feet in length
by four inches wide. Then this gold
ribbon Is put into machine which
stamps out Of 1t pen shapes, all still
fiat. Then on the tip Of each Of these
pens is fused the iridium point, and
then the shapes go to q Sitting ma
chine, which cut the slit in the pen.
From this Sitting machine the pens
90 through another, which gives them
their rounded, familiar pen form, and
then the pens are ground and polish,
cd and finished ready for use.
American gold pens in fountain pens
or as dip pens are sold in every coun-
try in Europe in competition with pens
of British or OF German manufacture,
and under the same competition they
are sold throughout the world, in
South America, Africa, Japan, China,
wherever pens are used.
