FIVE MILES IN THE AIR.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer. r
Twice within single week Ger
man aviators have broken the alti-
tude record. The hight attained by
Heinrich Oelrich is reported as 25,-
900 feet, nearly five miles.
Balloonists have occasionally at
tanned a greater hight, but they have
invariably lost consciousness and
some of them persisted in the rarefied
atmosphere. Mountain climbers have
reached almost as great hight, but
they have devoted their entire atten-
ton to the comparatively simple bus
mess of climbing. The aviator must
retain complete control of mind and
body or his flight will certainly be
fatal.
Endurance flights may continue to
break records until an aviator has
circled the globe without once stop
ping. Theoretically there is no end
to the setting of new records in these
lines of endeavor.
But the attitudes record will not be
broken many times in the future, no
matter what mechanical perfection
may be achieved in the construction
of aeroplanes. Beyond a certain lin
it man cannot live, and beyond GER
tain lesser limit he cannot retain
consciousness. This limit is not far
above the $4,000 feet which Heinrich
has attained. The next sailer toward
the sun may gain a higher altitude,
and pay for his achievement with his
life The danger is so great that no
possible theoretical Or practical gain
can make further endeaYOr worth
while.

All of the gubernatorial candidates
claim to have been benefited by the

doubt gratified that he has done so

duties in Washington demanded his
undivided attention. There is no

ONCE UPON A TIME.

The cost of living was quite low,
Once upon a time.
We used to save a little dough,
Once upon time.
We can recall it didn't take
A dollar bill to buy a steak;
We didn't spend all we could make,
Once upon time.
The women all dressed sensibly,
Once upon a time.
They were as modest as could be,
Once upon a time.
They didn't wear the low-necked
gown
When walking on the streets down
town,
And skirts so tight they couldn't sit
down,
Once upon a time.
People danced with ease and grace;
Once upon a time.
They didn't scramble round the place,
Once upon time.
They danced in a manner meant to
please,
Not on their elbows and their knees;
They turned no handsprings in the
breeze,
Once upon a time.
Hysteria was not fad,
Once upon a time.
The folks were not sensation mad,
Once upon a time.
They were quite strong on sanity,
And it is very plain to see
Things are not what they used to be,
Once upon a time.

Entomology and Farmer

The United States department OF
agriculture, one of the younger
branches of the government, fully
justified it's existence even in the
first few years of its tentative work,
and SO valuable has this Department.
aid to the farmer become that the
wonder is how the country ever got
along without it.
Georgia and most of the other
states have commissioners of agri-
culture and entomolOgists who, in
following in their limited way the
example of the department at Wash
Ington, have accomplished much
good during the last few years. These
state officials are N ulrect touch
with the farmers all the year round,
and in Georgia farm demonstration
work has been fully appreciated by
every intelligent and progressive till
er of the soil. But the United States
department of agriculture, having
large funds at it's disposal, is doing
vast service not only in it's farm
demonstration relating to soils, fer
Nilizers and rotation of crops, but in
its applied entomology as well.
Fifty years ago entomology was lit
tie heard Of outside of a few scientific
rcenters. Even twenty-five years ago
many educated men regarded en-
tomology with Indifference; while
dull, unimaginative persons looked
upon the study of insects as a serious
waste of time. To the average
farmer it seemed mere child's play.
But the fact is that during the last
five or six years few sciences have
been of such far-reaching benefit to
humanity as entomology.
A half century ago there was only
one entomology society in the United
States. Today there are a score or
more organizations devoted to TINS
important science. These societies
have been most helpful in arousing
Dopular interest in entomology, and
Ho them is due the close relation now
existing between the farmer and the
government bureau.
The department of agriculture
1919 wear book is a marvel Of in
formation. 1t is full of information
and suggestions which progressive
men of agriculture read with avidity.
And one of the best things the de-
Dartment is doing is in sending out
in separate pamphlet form a fully
illustrated entomology sketch. IL
is entitled Bringing Applied Ento-
moIogy to the Farmer" contains
about a dozen pages, and every line
of every page is worth reading. II
any farmer reader of The News has
failed to receive a copy application
for it should be made to the depart
ment without delay.
The work of the entomologist has
already saved the South a great deal
of money, and as his is very pro-
gressive science it will mean the saw
ing of millions in the next few years
TO come.

SNAKE BITES IN INDIA.

From Consular Report.
In the twenty-five years from 1887
to 1911 the number of human beings
killed by snakes in India was 543,-
991, or an average of 21,760 annu-
ally, according to official reports.
During the same time snakes caused
the death Of 187,436 CATTLE. The
mortality among human beings is so
appalling that any steps taken to de-
crease the figure must be welcome.

Can you wiggle your ears? If so
don't neglact the accomplishment,
for if you ever find yourself begin
ming to grow deaf it may prove OF
great value in helping to ward OFF
this misfortune. Such is the advice
Dr.. M. Fernet has given in paper
on training the muscles of the ears.
Most children can move their scalps
at will, and many of them can make
their ears wag. This ability, through
lack of practice, is generally lost by
the time they reach manhood, but it
is by no means rare among adults.
