FIREFLIES IN JAPAN.
Catching Them For Decorative Pur-
poses 10 q Regular Trade.

In Japan there is followed the pretty
custom Of employing In garden parties
and in various other social functions
the native fireflies for purposes of dec.
orative illumination. In some cases
these tiny creatures are disposed about
in cages; sometimes they are released
In swarms in the presence of guests.
To meet the demand for firefiies thus
used it follows that there must be some
systematic method of effecting their
capture in sufficient quantities. There
are number Of concerns in the Japa-
nese cities that employ men to catch
the freflies. These hunters proceed
about their task in this way:
The start is made ut sunset, and the
hunter takes with him long bamboo
pole and a bag of mosquito netting.
When u suitable growth of willows
near water is reached the hunter makes
ready his net and strikes the branches.
filled with the insects, with his pole.
This jars them to the ground, where
they may easily be gathered If one
proceed about the job quickly before
they have had time to recover and fly
away.
The skilled hunter, sparing no time
to put them at once into his bag, uses
both hands to pick them up, and he
tosses them lightly into his apron
where he holds them unharmed until
it can contain no more Then he trans.
fers them to his bag.
This work proceeds until about 2
o'clock In the morning, ut which hour
the insects are beginning to leave the
trees for the dewy soil. Then the
hunter changes his tactics. He brushes
the surface Of the ground with a light
broom to startle the insects into fight,
when they are taken as before. 1t is
said that an expert may capture as
many as 5000 in single night.-Wash

IMMIGRATION A FEATURE
OF THE EUROPEAN WAR
Problem For Smith-South Carolina
Senator as Committee Chairman
Must Wrestle with Subject.

Washington, Aug. 23.-Undoubted-
| ly the most important lasting feature,
so far as the Aemerican side of the
European war is concerned, after the
present agitation over cotton and the
high price of foodstuffs has passed
away, is the question of immigration
what to do with the thousands up
on thousands of immigrants who will
be knocking a the doors of the Unit
ed States for admission after they
have been mustered out of the armies
of their respective countries. And
just here it will be upon the shoulders
of Senator E. d. Smith of South Car
olina, chairman of the senate commit
tee on immigration, that will rest the
welfare of tn, la1Jrlng man il Tie
United States-the man in the cotton
mill, the iron furnace, the railroad
camp, the clothing factory-in fact
wherever the laboring man is to be
found.
1t is no small task that Senator
Smith will face. 1t must be remem-
bered that there are many thousands
of men in foreign countries who will
be ruined by the war. Many of these
will have whatever business they may
be engaged in entirely wrecked and
others, mustered out of their armies,
will turn to the western world as the
Eldorado-the land of peace, har-
mony and plenty.
When Commissioner Caminetti of
the United States immigration bu-
reau was asked today to make an es-
innate on the number of men who
would likely seek immigration to the
United States within the next IL
months, he said that such a thing
would be impossible, but that it might
safely be assumed that within the
very near future this country would
see the largest tide of immigration
which the world has ever known
There will be thousands of them COM
my this way he said, seekinp employ
ment of one kind and another, in the
mills and workshops, and it will be up
to congress to handle the situation in
such way that no hardship will be
worked on good men who wish to
come to America, and at the same
time see to it that American labor
does not suffer. A big influx of for
eigners here, he said, would naturally
mean low prices for American work
men, and it is to be hoped that the
immigration committees of the house
| oiiu oShSCS Will IdhS care VI Cne S1C-
uation, it being most precarious one
for American labor.
1t will thus be seen that during the
next year or two if Senator Smith is
returned to congress there will be
much for him to do, not only for the
farmers but for every class of labor
In fact, the very life blood of labor
depends upon congressional action
and with Senator Smith holding the
Craftsmanship of the committee al
ready referred to, the interests of the
laboring man will be safe. Should he
be retired and another man placed
at the head of this committee-a new
man there is no telling what may
happen and to what extent immi.
grants will be admitted to the United
States, thus reducing the price OF
American labor as the result.

STICKY FEET OF THE FLY.
Why tho Germ Laden Pest Consta ntl,
Rubs and Brushes Them.

Why tho Germ Laden Pest Consta ntIy
Rubs and Brushes Thorn.
Before the men of science terrified
the world with their talk Of germs
most people thought that the housefiy
was a harmless creature and very
cleanly In his habits, since he seemed
to spend great part of his time in
cleaning his legs, but since public opin.
ion has turned against him some ex.
planation has to be found for his ap-
parent cleanliness. Says the Bibliothek
der Unterhaltung und des Wissens:
'The fact that a fly can walk on a
glazed or slippery perpendicular sur.
face has long been matter Of obser.
walton. 1t was at first thought that
the fine hairs that cover his legs were
so small that they could enter the
pores Of the smoothest surface and in
that way bear the weight Of his body
Later it was thought that sticky
duid was secreted by the feet, which
caused them to adhere slightly to the
wall The advent or the microscope
has made 1t possible to observe the
precise facts about the hy's unusual
powers.
1T Is true that the fly's feet secrete
kind Of grease. but not in a liquid
form. Each leg has from 1.6OO to 1900
minute hairs, and each hair carries O
certain amount Of this fat When the
fly lights on smooth surface the
whole mass of hairs adheres to 1t, and
each individual hair can be seen under
the microscope to leave distinct
grease spot, which has a little circu
lar mark in its center made by the
hair itself.
with such sticky feet it is naturally
the case that the fly collects a gooc
deal Of dust in the course OF his daily
perambulations. If he wishes to walk
on glass or upside down on the cell
ing he must spend few hours every
day keeping his feet clean Of this coat
ing Of dirt"
