FARMERS BEGIN FIGHT
ON THE BOIL WEESlI3
BY the Associated Press.

san Antonio, Tex, june 27.---A
genuity are about half of the battle
when scientific methods are applied
to lighting boil Weeyils has been Civ
eli by two farmers near Floresyille.
TcXas. They knew that squares at
tackled by WceVils fall to the ground
more rapidly than other squares.
that in fact they usually fall prema-
turely of their own weight. and that
the wecvil eggs hatch rapidly from
these fallen squares. These farmers
devised simple instrument which It
negro could handle in removing thu
squares before the weevil eggs had
time to hatch. They filled the end
of stick with spikes by attaching
to it piece of leather studded With
sharp pointed nails. The negro took
this stick and walking leisurely
down a row knocked the cotton
plants enough so that all diseased
squares fell to the ground, where
upon he speared them with the
spikes and tossed them into bag
over his shoulder. 1t is said the
spiked stick, requiring little or no eff
fort, made an ideal job from the ne
gro's point of view and that he re-
duced the apparent supply of weevil
squared by more than fifty per cent.

BUILD lnland Of conorsts.

An artificial island of reinforced
concrete has been built in the Medi-
terranean at Hyeres strait, near Tou-
Ion, the great French naval base,
which is to be used solely for testing
torpedoes. The island is not a large
one, being less than 80 feet long by
about so feet broad, and is built upon
a reinforced concrete caisson which
was towed out from Toulon and sub
merged. 1t Is divided into compart-
ments by walls 4 feet thick, in the
largest OF which, 10 feet below the sea
level, the t~orpedoes are handled. Pro-
jecting from this compartment are
three torpedo tubes, while above the
surface Of the water, 10 feet in the
air, are two aerial-torpedo tubes. The
operating mechanism, which uses cleo
tricity as a motive power, is all con-
tained in the su~perstructure built over
the c~aisson, and lighting and ventilat.
ing systems IS well as wireless and
searchlights are provided. An electric
crane extending out from one side
permits the torpedoes to be lifted from
the water and returned to their sta
tons after practise.-Popular Mechan-

CALLS FOR MUCH DExTERlTY
chakrLThrowine Might Well Be Con-
sldered as an Art Rather
Than a Pastime.

In front of the m%ausoleum Of a holy
saint-Mohamed Ghous-a fair is held
annually on the outskirts of Gwalior
(1ndia) town, about the middle of the
rainy season. The most noticeable fea-
ture of the fair is the chakri-throw. A
chakri is a piece of iron something
like a spindle, over which a long piece
of string or thread Is rolled. The
player throws high into the air the
iron chakri literally a rol), holding
M end of the string in his hand, and
gives it a swing and jerk in such a
clever manner that the chakri, on
coming down, rolls up the thread
again on itself, and is caught in the
hands of the thrower. The art has
been dexterously practiced by a class
Of people for ages past, and some
members are so renowned that they
cut a good figure at the scene. 1t is
most interesting to watch the thrower
fling the chakri up high, catch it in his
hands on return and continue sending
1t up again and again till the rope be-
comes as high as seventy feet above
the ground. There Is absolutely no
spring or lever attachment in the
chakri. Nabbo is the champion
thrower.

1t is probably a signal, imposed by the
town authorities, which, when sounded
in the evening, requires small boys to
retire within doors. In it's beginning
the curfew served a far different pur-
pose, and applied to all classes of
whatever age. In the middle ages,
when we first hear of the curfew, the
curfew bell was commonly tolled in
cities as a warning to all inhabitants
to extinguish or cover up all fires and
lights. This was a eommo practice
throughout Europe and was a very
necessary precaution against fire. All
of the houses were of wood and the
fires were kindled in a hole in the
floor, with no other vent than another
hole in the roof above the hearth. I'm
der such circumstances it was all too
easy for a fire to start, and wooden
buildings and crude fire-ighting appa-
raids offered small check to a fire
once it was under way.
Many histories state that the curfew
was introduced into England by
William the Conqueror, who. in 1868
ruled that on the ringing OF the curfew
bell at 8 p. m. all fires and lights
should be Immediately extinguished.
Students of history have discovered
traces of a curfew in England in much
earlier times and insist that it was in
use In Oxford in the time of Alfred
the Great.-American Boy.
