ID ATTACK PROBLEM
 OF DUSTY HIGHWAY

A dust nuisance that is threatening to become dangerous will be attacked hy the chamber of commerce. II. Clay Parker, chairman of the committee on roads was instructed yesterday to ne Eotiatc with the city for plans to sprinkle that section of Central avenue between the city limits and the bridge across the Salt River.
 Although outside the city, this sec tion or road is largely used by Phoenix people in going to and from Riverside park. Traffic conditions approximate those of q down town street, and the result has been a furious blast of pro test against the dusty condition of the road No little danger is involved. for the tendency of some drivers to hit is mp along this stretch of road makes it rather perilous, when the dust clouds obscure the view.

ANCIENT WAR METHODS.

Did Hannibal Use Dynamite In Hia
 Passage of the Alps?
 Every one knows the story of how Hannibal crossed the Alps. It Is usual Iy asserted that he demolished the rocks that opposed his progress with the aid of fire and vinegar. The word used by the Latin historians and which is ordinarily called in English transla. ton vinegar" Is acetum.
 The question has been raised by a European officer whether this Is the true meaning of the original. He thinks that by acetum the historians intended to describe substance resembling dy. namite in its properties. and he invites chemists to consider the question whether the ancients may not have possessed formula for making pow. erful explosive of this kind.
 He calls attention to the fact that two ancient historians, Marcus Grae- GUS and Albert of Ak, speak of the ex. tstence of two kinds of acetum. one of which possessed greater energy than the other. A clew to the composition of this explosive may be found. he be- lieves, in the fact that to acetum was ascribed the property of extinguishing the dreaded Greek fire." He thinks the substance may have been strongly oxygenated.
 Although to discover how Hannibals ! dynamite" was made would be to add nothing. perhaps, to our sense of the greatness of his achievements, yet such a discovery would certainly throw new light on some interesting events in the wars of antiqnity.-Washin Star.

Volcanic Eruptlons Have Deadly Ef.
 feet Upon kefp Life.
 The damage done to seaweed and other forms of marine vegetation is about the last thing. that would occur to anybody who had not made study of the subject as possible result of volcanic eruption.
 Kelp is one of the most useful forms of seaweed. It used to be found in abundance of various parts of the coast of Alaska, but for several years past the crop has been practically de stroyed by volcanic eruptions which have occurred in that vicinity.
 This has been source of great loss to the natives of Alaska, who have made use of kelp in variety of ways AS 1t grows only in shallow water, 1t has proved a valuable aid to naviga. ton in waters where there are prac tically no aids except such as nature has provided. Then, too, the natives used it to fertilize their gardens. There are various theories as to just how the action of volcanoes interrupts or entirely stops the growth of keIp One is that the hot blasts and poison. ous gases which pour out of the craters during eruptions are fata! to plant life.
 Another more probable explanation of the damage done to kelp is that it is due to the enormous masses of pun ice from the volcanoes
 This pumice, it is thought, covers the rocks 50 that the kelp and other ma rine plants find it impossible to cling to them, or it may be that 1t is the grinding effect produced on this great mass of rough stone by the constant movement of the tides and waves which crushes out the waters vege- table life.-NeW York American

BRAZIL NUT TREES.
They Do Not Bear Fruit Until They
 Arc Fifty Years Old.

Arc Fifty Years Old.
 In this country Brazil nuts are d. most as well known as walnuts, yet few know the manner of their growth and the steps taken in their collection and marketing. The tree itself is the most majestic in the valley of the Ana zon. where it attains height ranging from fifty to q hundred feet. Gener ally several hundred trees are found in a group. The control of the best pro ducing districts long ago passed to pri vate individuals; hence the natives are not free to pick and sell the nuts at will.
 The Brazil nut tree does not begin to bear fruit until it attains the age of fifty years or whereabouts and contin ues to produce crops intermittently al most forever. At least trees known t., be hundreds of years old have pro duced crops. The pods in which the nuts are contained drop in November and December
 These pods are very hard and weigh several pounds. consequently the trees are studiously avoided during the pc riod in which the pods are dropping since it would be extremely hazardous for the gatherers to expose themselves to the danger of having the pods fall on them from such great height Each pod is at least seven inches in diameter and is full of nuts The pod is usually opened with machete.-Ar gOnaut

THE FRENCH Z0UAVES.
A Picturesque Corps Whose Fame 6e'

A Picturesque Corps Whose Fame Be-
 came Worldwide.
 Among the most interesting classes of soldiers of modern times is the French corps called the zouaves. The body of daring and picturesquely at, tired warriors reached the height of it's fame during the Crimean war. The zouave corps at that time was sup posed to consist of Frenchmen. but 1t was in reality quite international. since it's ranks contained many daring young foreigners. In this corps served many men from Oxford. Gottingen and other universities. and it is probable that the greater part of it's members had joined more for the love of fighting than for love of country. Its fame as fight. ing body soon spread throughout the world.
 When our own war between the states broke out several corps of zou ayes. wearing the splendid oriental uniforms of the French corps, or Q modification of them, were formed on both sides On the Federal side the best known was that corps command ed by Elmer Ellsworth, young officer from New York, the first man. 1t Is said, to be killed on the Union side In the Confectionery the most famous corps of zouaves was that called the Louisiana Tigers.
 While in American military life the zouave uniform has practically disap peared. 1t still persists in France Exchange,

There they stay. struggling until they starve to death These orchids are not considered in sect eaters. but they undoubtedly draw a certain amount of nourishment from the decayed bodies of their insect prey Many other flowers trap insects, which they kill and gradually digest as food.
