A Norm In Paoanini's Xioiin.

When Paganini died he bequeathed
his violin. Il superb G~uarnerius. to his
native town of Genoa with instruc.
tons that it was to be preserved per.
petually." In 1907 fears were enter
tanned that a WOODWORK was wreak.
ing damage to the instrument. and a
special commission OF x perts was ap.
pointed by the municipality of Genoa
to examine and report Oh its condition
The commission decided that the wu"i-
worm was noneXistent The presence
OF the worm Is now fully established.
and the Genoese are greatly excited
lest this memento Of one OF Genoa's
most il!ustrious sons should be ruined.
1t is stated by experts that the worm
will not make inroads in a violin which
is regularly played. as 1t is expelled
by the constant vibration.

EUROPE'S GREAT WAR.
The Little Cause That Led Up to the
Momentous Conflict.

The Little Cause That Led Up to the
Momentous Conflict.
There is no sanjak Of Novibazar any
more: it is divided between Servia and
Montenegro. But its ghost and its re-
GREETED memory were enough. in all
likelihood. to set on foot EurOpe's giant
war.
The sanjak was in 1908 Il strip Of
land smaller than Connecticut and
with but 10000 inhabitants. belonging
without Il shadow Of doubt to Turkey,
If treaties could be respected. by the
treaty Of Berlin Australia hungary was
permitted to garrison some OF Its
towns. but the civil administration was
left to Turkey. wherein its status
differed from that of Bosnia. Herzego-
vina. which Austria hungary admins
tered nolninaIly for Turkey as suzerain.
The sanjak divided Montenegro and
Servia. 1t was /; wedge between the
southern Serbs. through which the
Austrians planned to drive Il railway.
and with it their ruIe. to Saloniki.
That railway would only have been Il
linking Of the one running up to Mi
trovitza from the south with the mill
tary line from S%arajevO to the Servian-
Montenegrin boundaries.
When in October. 1908. Austria-Hun-
gary tore up the Berlin treaty and
definitely annexed Bosnia Herzegovina
she withdrew her troops from the sam
jak. fearing armed resistance and
wishing to placate Turkey. There was
no war-then. Russia had not recover
ed from her bout with Japan.
The Austrian forward" party was
disguised. Won Aehrenthal was almost
in disgrace for overcautiOusness. 1t
had not been necessary to leave the
sanjak. However. they could reoccupy
it some time.
Some time" did not come. With the
Tripoli and Balkan wars Europe be-
came increasingly sensitive. When the
Balkan nations were fighting and it
would have been easy to seize the strip
Austria was forced by Europe to fore
90 land grabbing in the general in.
terest. to prevent exactly what has
happened now.
The murder of the archduke gave her
an opportunity. He went to Sarajevo
against the protests and entreaties OF
Servian representatives in Vienna. who
knew the local feeling and who had
most to lose by any disturbance. and
the actual murderer was an Austrian
subject. However. neither these facts
nor the way in which Servia offered to
swallow the Austrian terms-all but
allowing Austrian officers to hold in
Qu1ries into the murder On Seryian soil
awaited to stop the Austrian attack
aimed straight ut the sanjak.
And then followed what has follow.

Thu Torch Fish.

There is Il kind of fish that swims
in the deep sea which is very rare and
a great curiosity. says the American
Boy. Its common name is the torch
fish. Its jaws are filled with long.
slender teeth. 1t has a cartridge shap-
ed tongue and a body very much like
a WORKOUT old shoe that has become so
limp that it cannot hold itself up in
shape any more.
The most remarkable thing about
this strange fish is that on the tip Of
its long. pipestem nose there is an egg
shaped object that the fish can light
up like the bullseye lantern whenever
he wants to and put it out again when
he SO pleases. This lantern does not
serve as a guide to him in his wander.
ings. but is used as Il trap to entice
unwary and innocent little food fishes.
When this deep sea lucifer is hungry
he just lights his lamp. which is a pc
culiar kind Of lip with phosphorus on
it. opens his mouth and waves before
it a slender. cordlike a%ppendage that
grows from beneath it's lower jaw.
The small fishes mistake the light for
q certain kind of toothsome freely that
is down in the sea. and in their scram-
bic for this dainty they sail right into
the lucifer's mouth. which is gaping
wide open to receive them. When be
has had all the dinner he wants he
turns off the light and goes away about
other business.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

strating the value Of early spraying ~
fruit plants.
Clear up the greenhouse and &c,

plants next winter.
Stop cultivation in the orchard and

encourages late growth. which is Oh

Mans First Winas.

The first effort to equip man with
wings that he might fly through the
air seems to have been made by Wat
son E. Quinby. a Delaware inventor.
who patented a flying machine over for
ty years ago. says the American Boy.
The inventor used the bat as his mod
ell in designing the wings. Previous
flying machines had been constructed
on the balloon principle. but Quinby's
apparatus consisted OF wings twelve
feet in diameter and semicircular in
form. The wings were attached to the
limbs of the persons flying. and the
motions used were very similar to those
used in swimming. The wings refused
to work. however. and no one ever sue.
ceeded in flying with their aid.

is very bright and alert. as his picture

DOWN WITH THE FLY.

Until now the amateur gar
dener has been between two fires.
He has wanted Il permanent ma
nure pile for the good of his
plants, but he has hated. if not
indeed refused. to keep one on
his place because it was the
breeding place of the loathsome
and dangerous house or typhoid
fly. And nobody knew how to
prevent its breeding there with
out injuring the manure as a fer.
tilizer.
At last the great discovery has
been made, and the extermina-
ton Of the fly is no more difficult
and should be no longer delayed
than the determination Of that
other pest, the mosquito. Here is
the key to the mystery in all its
amazing simplicity: Sprinkle the
fresh horse manure with COM
mon borax at the rate of II
ounce to the bushel.
