bassy in Paris.

Mortified to see Sir Francis running

umbrella.
Fearing that there had been an an
archist outrage or something equally
dreadful, the diplomatist prepared to
join in the chase; but the explanation
of Sir Francis excitement was quite
simple and not at all murderous.
Lady BERTHE had just set out for q
drive. After she left Sir Francis had
noticed one or two street arabs
clinging to the back of the carriage
and had promptly started of in pur-
suit with the idea Of dislodging them
from their dangerous position.

Second Thoughts In Duel.

In the history of dueling 1t has sell
dom happened that neither adversary
would fire upon the other. Such a
case has just occurred at Moscow,
where, after an alteration in tram
way-car, young staff lieutenant chal-
lenged a retired general of over sixty,
to duel.
The challenge was accepted, and
an encounter with pistols was ar
ranged in a wood. When the signal
to fire was given. to the great sur
prise Of the seconds, neither general
nor lieutenant pulled his trigger.
The former explained afterwards
that he could not risk destroying a
young life over trivialty, while the
lieutenant said that it was impossible
to fire upon an opponent who had not
raised his arm. Curiously enough, no
reconciliation was effected after the
meeting.

ACTIVELY HOSTILE 10 MAN
Scientist Points Out Why Instinct 10
Kill Insects Has Root In Self.
Preservation.

Our instinct to kill insects at sight
Is perfectly sound. writes DR.. Woods
Hutchinson. Out Of the quarter of .
million species now known to science.
q mere handful are even remotely
helpful to man. and most of these only
by their power Of living upon other
and more dangerous insects. On the
other hand, thousands of species are
actively hostile to man, his food
plants and to his domestic animals.
Whole tribes have been swept out of
existence by the attack Of insects car
rying bacilli-as within the last two
decades in Central Africa by the dread
sleeping Sickness" carried by the
tsetse ny. Whole nations have been
weakened and crippled and whole CIV
ilizations retarded by another insect
borne disease-malaria. Indeed, re-
cent Investigators have advanced the
theory that the historic decline in both
Greece and Rome was largely due to
the ravages Of this disease, brought
into Europe by armies returning from
wars in Asia and Africa. It may yet
come when we see things in their true
perspective that the warriors Of CIV
ilized nations will turn from slaugh-
tering one another to battling against
our insect enemies. Turn every bat
terry Of artillery in the world against
that angel Of the pestilence. the COM
mon house fly. and in ten years he
would be exterminated root and
branch. With him would go half Of
our $4,000 deaths in the United States
every year from the summer diseases
Of children, two-thirds of our dysen-
teries and cholera morbus and one
fourth of our typhoid, with not lit
tie of our tuberculosis, our tetanus
and our boils and blood poisonings.
