Yes, l expect to attend the con

INSECT ExTERMINAToR
Light utilized to Attract the Insects
to Certain Destruction.


An ingenious method o. exterminat.
ing insects and other vermil has been
devised by a Canadian inventor. 1t
Is we'll known that all kinds Of In.
sect and rodents are attracted by
light, and particularly a luminous
power crested in a cool state, with or
without combustion. Accordingly a
coating of a luminous mixture is ap
piled to a card having a surface which
can be painted to prove an attrac-
ton to the insects. On this surface
is placed a smeary poisonous sub
stanc which viii have the effect of
entangling and, If necessary, poison
ing the insect or rodent. The lumin-
ous substance employed consists of a
mixture which in the dark will show
a brilliant blue light, while in the
daytime it will absorb light. A blue
light is more e%fficacious in Turing the
insects. In the center of the piece of
cardboard is a piece of bait to tempt
the vermin into the adhesive sub
stance, where it will die and not be
able to get away readily to die in
some forgotten corner and thus pol
lutte the atmosphere. Over the sur
face of the luminant substance is
placed resin, castor oil or other essen.

Long Kid Gloves Ancient.

The wearing Of long kid gloves u
by no means a modern fashion. AS
long ago as 1875 they were worn, for
there is a description of a pair Of
white kid wedding gloves twenty-five
inches long that were worn drawn in
above the elbow, and a famous French
authority on historical costumes
states that in the time of the empire
long gloves were not only fashionable
but were ruinously expensive. No
woman who made any aspirations to
being we'll dressed could possibly get
o. with less than a new pair every
day.
