The Clocks We Wear,

The three marks on the back Of q
glove and the clocks on the stocking
are due practically to the same cir
cumstance. The glove marks CORE
spond to the fourchette pieces be-
tween the fingers, and in other days
these pieces were continued along the
back of the hand, braid being used to
conceal the seams. A somewhat SIM
liar origin is assigned to the orna-
mental clock On the stockings. In the
days when stockings were made Of
cloth, the seams occurred where the
clocks do now, the ornamentation then
being used to conceal the seams. The
useless little bow in the leather band
lining a mans hat is the survival of
the time when a hat vas made by ia
king a piece Of leather, boring two
holes through 1t and drawing it up
with a piece of string.-Harper's

Kansas City.-North or Lamar.
Colo, just across the Kansas line on
the Santa Fe railway, is a series OF
irrigation lakes that have been made
by building earthen dams across a
creek valley. These lakes are fed by
a canal forty miles long, leading from
the Arkansas river. The lakes are
there as a result Of the suit over the
waters of the Arkansas, which Kansas
lost to Colorado several years ago.
Up there on the Colorado plains,
two-thirds of a mile above sea level.

shore line. Smooth, soft green prairie
slopes down to the blue water. Curry

sweeping back in wide CULTS, jutting
up in bold headlands, the world Of
flowers and grass nee and melts
into the world of waters. Under the
bright sunlight, seen through that
crystal air, shimmering and shining,
these lakes almost compel the belief
that they are a mirage.
Kit Carson, could he again ride
across these old familiar plains,
would be tempted into trying to ride
straight through what he would think
must be only an appearance of water.
For he and his friends saw any
really wet lake here. On a hot, still
day they have e e myriads of lakes.
But no real water covered these
square miles in their day.
These lakes literally swarm with
fish. At times they lie upon the sur
face so thickly that, as their fins move
the whole surface Is %agitatetd as If a
breeze was blowing over it, They are
so plentiful that when the water is
turned into the irrigation bitches the
fish hat have spawned and multiplied
loaf down in schools and are carried
out upon the fields of alfalfa and other
crops, and the farmers gather them
up in wagon loads and salt down
enough in a week to last them through
a whole year.
There are five of those lakes. They
were finished in 1898, and the fish
have been spawning and increasing in
numbers ever since.
The lakes are seven miles north Of
Lamar, and to get there one must
drive over the level prairie. The
largest of the lakes is Nenoshee, sew
en- miles long.
A party of Kansas City men went
out there recently to fish, and n Of
them wrote the accompanying account
of their experiences. The members Of
the party vouch for the truth of this
story in it's entirety.

1t is the female only that bites, and
she needs INDEPENDENTLY red

eggs. The eggs are deposited in a
slow moving or Stationary water and
hatch out into little larvae Or "wrig-
glers.' At least once in two minutes
the larva must come to the surface
to breathe, and that is where the san
itary department gets it, usually.
AS one wanders about the zone he
sees at the headwaters of every
stream, ditch or other water course,
at frequent intervals along it's banks,
and at the edge of every pool, a big
tin can or a keg. From this recep-
tacle there is a constant drip, drip,
drip Of ~larvacide,, a black, oily-looking
compound of crude carbolic acid,
caustic soda and resin. This spreads
out over the water, an %iridescent
film, and when little Anopheline
larva comes up for air he meets a
swift death. To %replenish these cans
Of larvacide a small army of Jamai-
cans is kept travelling about the zone,
and others go around with tanks of
the compound strapped on their
backs, spraying every pool they come

Another measure of determination
has been the draining and filling in of
swampy ground and the Strengthening
and clearing of water courses so that
their flow will be too swift for Mad
anne A%nopheline. The work of drain
ing and filling has been extensive and
near the Pacific enc of the canal has
resulted in the reclamation of large
tracts Of land for building sites.
The third part of the anti-mosquito
campaign is the careful screening of
buildings occupied by human beings.
Ordinary mosquito netting would not
do and only copper wire will stand
the climate there. Consequently a
fine meshed copper screening is used.

CWCH HOSRIA

Ancon. c. ALI the world gives to
Col. w. c. Gorgas, chief sanitary off,
Ger, and his assistants full credit for
the wonderful work they have accom-
plished in making the Panama canal
zone healthful and keeping it so. All
the world that knows gives equal r
greater credit to those American, Ital-
Ian and English doctors and soldiers
who sacrificed their health and in
some cases their lives to prove that
yellow fever and malaria, the two ter
rors of tropic America, are transmit
ted by the bite of mosquitoes. 1t is
not my intention to tell over again
the latter story. The devotion of
those brave men actually made pos
sible the building of the Panama
canal, for their work has been TAX
en- full advantage of by Colonel Cor
gas and his forces, and the zone is
now M of the most healthful places
in the world.
Before the coming of the Amer
leans the isthmus was a veritable pest
hole. The French canal builders and
their workmen and the laborers on
the Panama railway died like flies,
usually of malaria or yellow fever.
Today a fatal case of malaria is a
rarity, the more malignant form being
almost unknown, and not a single case
of yellow fever has originated in the
zone in several years.
The Stegomyia mosquito, the yellow
fever bearer, has not beer exceed
ingly hard to exterminate because it
breeds and lives only near human
h%abitations. When the Americans
had substituted a regular water sys-
tenn and underground sewers for the
rain water barrels and the open
bitches in Colon, Panama and the
other towns, and had fumigated all
the dwellings, Stegomyia was prac,
tically extinct. That job Of fumigat-

Some Of Continents Attitudes.

SShIV W SlSlkO0Sos
The maximum difference in eleva-
ton of land in the United States is
14,777 feet, according to the United
States geological survey. Mount
Whitney, the highest point, is 4,501
feet above sea level, and a point in
Death Valley is 276 feet below sea
level. These two points, which are
both in California, are less thar nine
ty miles apart. This difference is
small, however, as compared with the
figures for Asia. Mount Everest
rises 29,002 feet above sea level,
whereas the shores of the Dead sea
are 1920 feet below sea level, a total
difference in land heights Of 30,292
feet. Mount Everest has never been
climbed. The greatest ocean depth
yet found is 32,0SS feet, at a point
about fifty miles north of the Island
of Mindanao, in the Philippine islands.
The ocean bottom at this point Is
therefore more than eleven and a
half miles below the summit of Mount
Everest.

cLOUDED BRAIN

-
The brain cannot work with clear

not fully digested, but is retained in

in changing her food habits, and re-

Appliances for Measuring Time.

Mechanical appliances for measur-
ing time were in use from the earliest
ages and clocks of one kind or an.
other were made in Europe before the
discovery Of America. Brass wheel
clocks with weights, standing six
feet high, such as are now called
grandfather clocks, were common in
England and Germany long before the
revolutionary war. The first clockma-
ker in the United States was Eli Ter
ry, who made his first clock with wood
en- wheels in 1892, and afterward
made a great many, and they were
good timekeepers. In 1907 he con-
tracted to deliver 1000 wooden wheel
movements to a certain firm, and it
took him three years to fill the order.
Seth Thomas once a well known Yam
kee ~clockmaker, learned his trade with
Eli Terry. Brass wheel clocks were
first made in the United States in
1887.

SCALP TROUBLE FOR YEARS

case was a scalp trouble. l first no.
ticed small punches on my scalp which
commenced to itch and l would
scratch them and in time they got
larger, forming a scale or scab with a
little pus, and chunks of hair would
come out when I would scratch them
off. It caused me to lose most Of my
hair. It became thin and dry and life
less. I was troubled for over ten
years with it until it got SO bad I was
ashamed to go to a barber to get my
hair cut.
II tried everything I could get hold
of, - and -- but received no
cure until I commenced using Cuticu-
ra Soap and Ointment when the scale
commenced to disappear. The way 1
used the Cuticura Soap and Ointment
was to wash my scalp twice a day
