TATHEN l was a young detective
~ l was sent from New York
city after a man who had
given the slip to every Of
ficer Of the law who had been sent
to take him. One detective had got
him cornered In a house, surrounded
the house and went upstairs to nab
him. A maid received him and admit
ted that the man he was looking for
was in a back room. The detective
went there. and the man jumped
down on to the roof Of a porch and
started to slide down by n of the
posts. The watchers collected under
the porch to take him when he came
down, and while they were doing this
the maid walked out the front door.
The maid was the man they were aft
er, and the nan they took was his
wife.
There were other escapes equally
ingenious, and l resolved to profit by
them. l was told where l would find
Ethan Hardwick, which was one of
the names he used, and took a train
for the place where he was or, at
least, was reported to be. 1t was a
three hours ride. 1t occurred to me
that If l arrested him l would have
to bring him back owe the same route.
and / would have to watch him on
tinually lest he give me the same kind
of a slip he had given others.
IL n, arrsxf,r In tho .sifty pyhnra Hard
wick had taken up his abode l didn't
go at once to his lodging to arrest him;
i hired a roo opposite and observed
him. My object was to learn all about
the approaches and exits that he
would have to rely on when l should
come familiar with his personal APP
pearance so that / would know him
under any disguise.

the house in which he was staying

going he made no attempt to appear
to be anything else than what he was.

a considerable force, which did not

my chance to take him outside OF MS

BENEFIT OF CROP PESTS.

Crop pests have often been de-
clared beneficial to growers be-
cause they make better cultural
methods necessary to preserve
the crop. The market quaran-
tine Is a new benefit along that
line and a much stronger incen-
tive for good methods. So long
as part of a crop can be raised
and shipped in spite of the pest
there will always be a certain
proportion of growers satisfied to
raise substandard stuff. But
when the market standard Is so
rigid that substandard stun can
not be sold at all obviously every
grower must rise to the true
standard or go out OF business.
whichever he decides to do there
Is a gain to the community he
lives in.-Country Gentleman.

DUTIES OF THE RED CROSS

The American Red Cross organiZa-
ton has been called upon for active
field work In the European war to aid
the Red Cross organizations Of the
nations most concerned.
1.-The Red Cross has varied duties in
time of war; said DIR. Ernest P. Bick-
ness, national director of the ~organiza-
ton, in reply to a query.
THE duties of the Red Cross have
to do with the sick and wounded
and with prisoners of war. Each unit
or army has its separate headquar-
ters established at some convenient
point far In the rea~ Of the actual
fighting. The soldiers having been
wounded in battle or taken sick In
camp far from headquarters receive
first attention in portable FIELD hos
pitfalls. which are moved about as the
armies themselves 0 and which are
| set up as near as practicable to the nc
| tual scene Of the fighting.
when the sick and wounded SOL
| diers have been given first attention
and preliminary care In the field hos
| pitfalls they are transported by rail or
in ambulance trains back to the large
base hospitals at the army headquar-
tiers. The Red Cross is expected to
have men and the necessary ambu-
lances, mule teams, ETC., for the trans
portation of the sick and wounded SOL
diers from the field hospitals to the
base hospitals. The Red Cross is
also expected to provide such sur
geons, nurses, clerical force and do
nestle help at the base hospitals as
might be called for by the army au-
thorities."

WARS EFFECT ON AIR CONTESTS
Effects of the European war are be-
ing felt by aeropiane manufacturers
In this country. According to John e.
Sloane. president Of the Sloane Aero
plane company, the number of COM
p~etitors In the contest to be held this
fall by the United States government
will be reduced owing to the inability
Of American builders to obtain foreign
motors. Mr.. Sloane said:
I'VE have under way a machine to
be tried out in the competition for the
$4,000 prize offered by the govern
ment. Oct. 10 Is the approximate date
for the trials, and we had depended on
the use Of French motors. as do many
Of the other American builders. Now
It will be impossible to get the engine.
II do not say that this will be a bad
thing for American aeronautics, be-
cause It Is likely that some good Amer
lean motors may be developed"
The competition at San Diego, CAL,
is the first tangible encouragement
which has been offered by the govern
ment to American manufacturers.

NEW DISEASE DISCOVERED
Professor Erich Harrack. the famous
Jena Germany pharmacist, announces
the discovery Of a new disease. 1t is
a sort Of chronic copper poisoning
which may prove fatal. Not a few of
the wounded soldiers in Berlin have
been found to be afflicted with 1t. 1t
Is caused by bridge work on the teeth.
Some of this work which was examin-
d showed that only one-third was
gold and the rest ether metals, espe-
cially copper. This resulted In slow
poisoning and general decay.
Professor Harnack warns people
against this inferior alloy, saying that
1t is wen more dangerous than pure
copper or zinc.

Pride of the Peruvians.

The Peruyians are a proud, imperial
race, living amid the grandest scenery
Of the western hemisphere and hold
ing high ideals of what is best in edu-
cation and the unbought grace OF life
On the great country estates there is
much of the fine tradition and chivalrous
sentiment that came from the best peo-
pie of CASTLE and Aragon. The In
dams of the high plateaus are unique
reminder of a civilization that bour-
geoned centuries before the face of the
white man had blossomed like flow
er in the western forests. The i'm
memorial records of a civilization that
vanished in the midst of mans earliest

Eyes That Shine at Ninht.

The CLEAN of cats eyes when a
light catches them in the darkness APP
pears to be due to reflection from
layer behind the retina called the
"choroid tapetum.' This layer in
cludes numerous fat cells packed with
crystalloid bodies, which act like a
mirror. In some beetles and moths
the eyes shine like rubies when they
are obliquely iilumined at night Pro-
fessor Bugnion has recently studied the
eyes of one of the hawk moths and
finds that the retina is very thick and
infiltrated with rose colored pigment,
"erythropsin." Part of the retina
forms a tapetum, and the reflection is
due to a network of silvery air tubes,
or tracheae, helped TO some extent By
movement of the retinal pigment.

Longevity of Birds.

In ancient days it was the general
belief that ravens lived longer than
any species of birds. and it was said
that their age frequently exceeded a
century. Recent studies of the subject
indicate that no authentic instance of
a raven surprising seventy years of
age is on record. But parrots have
been known to live one hundred years.
There is also a record of golden eagle
which died at Schonbrunn at the age
of rs; another was kept in the Tower
of London for ninety years, while a
third died at Vienna aged 104 years.
Geese and swans are tenacious of life,
and extraordinary accounts exist of
the great age to which they have at
tanned. Button and other naturalists
have credited them with eighty and
one hundred years of life.

Rritain's Standing Army.

The British standing army is much
more modern institution than most
people imagine. 1t dates from 1646.
when the famous new modeF' was es-
tablished by act of the long parlia-
ment and maintained in existence I'M
til the restoration. This army, which
was organized by Cromwell, consisted
of some $4,000 men and was probably
the most effective army that England
has ever possessed. But the cost was
so great that on his restoration Charles
II. agreed to its abandonment, except
a bodyguard or household brigade of
5000 sanctioned by parliament, which
included Monks Coldstream regiment
and two troops of cavalry raised by
Charles himself, which formed the
originals of the present Life guards
