Killing Insects

since miles Of canals have been made for irri-
cation, thousands upon thousands of little
stoves are burned heating all outdoors as it
we're in times of frost to preserve orchards, and
similar things are done on large scale.
In the great Western orchards the destruc-
tive insects are also there, or getting there, in
equally large numbers To properly combat
with them W. r. Frost, OF Spokane has in
vented an apparatus tor ending the lives of
these insects by means of electrical shocks
The apparatus consists OF a storage battery

the tree to which the globe is strung. the moth
flies against the network completes the cleo.

dropping into a receptacle beneath the globe.
Mr.. Frost thinks that one apparatus to an

There are as many vagaries in the

send their warm waters across the
wide Pacific and Atlantic? Other and
equally mysterious currents exist in
well nigh all parts of the world.
1t is on record that the sea has run
for weeks out of the Java sea. through
the strait of Sunda and thence back
again for a like period without any
perceptible rise and fall during those
times.
Then there is the equatorial current
that flows into the Caribbean sea, the
ever flowing current to the eastward
around Cape Horn, the cold stream
flowing from the icy regions of the
north past Newfoundland and Nova
Scotia and along the American coast
to the extreme end of Florida. the
continual current running with a We
