PLANS NEW MILITARY SCHOOLS
Cummins Would Train Boys at Out
of-date Forts.

Des Moines. Iowa, March 7.-Several
army posts throughout the country and
among them Fort Des Moines, will be
changed into military schools subordi-
nate to West int If the bill which
Senator Cummins"1s preparing to intro
duce in the next session of Congress be-
comes a law. All the posts under con-
sideration by the Iowa solons are forts
which have no particular strategic i'm
portance.
THE point is that We should establish
schools subsidiary to West Point and

tain a general education but which also
would fit them to become officers of the

Lake Of Wine Burns Blue.

A lake of wine, consisting of 1,000,-
600 gallons, formed a most spectacu-
lar sight when it burned blue against
the blackness Of the night, near Fres-
no. Cal. This lake was formed near
the burning building of winery, and
the light blue blending with the or
ange tinge of the darting flames was
like huge fireworks celebration. The
lake of wine extended for about a
block and burned for over an hour.
The loss from the burning of the win
cry will amount up to a half million
dollars. 1t was the largest in the Fres-
no grape district, the warehouses
and fermenting rooms covering sew
eral acres. The cause of the fire is a
mystery.

The Famous Shoreditch Bells of Lon.

Clemens.

Old Bailey.

Shoreditch.
So, according to the old nursery
rhyme, rang the bells of Old London
many years ago. But for almost a
quarter of a century the bells of
Shoreditch" have failed to make their
time-worn reply to Old Bailey's miser-
ly question. The old oak frame in
which they were hung, shaken by the
changing and clashing as well as with
cred by the hand of time, became SO
dangerous that the church authorities,
too poor to replace it, thought 1t best
to stop their ringing.
Consequently. one of the most ia
nous peals in London has been silent
for 20 years. Thanks to the vicar of
Shoreditch, the bells have been taken
down and are being fitted with new
steel frame and fittings. A rededica-
ton service will be performed by the

Coleridge, rector of Crowthorne,

Almost as old as the church are the
records of the bell ringers. One OF
the most ancient societies of bell ring
ers had it's home, SO to speak, In the
church steeple. This brotherhood was
known as the London Scholars" but,
when, in 1749, they rang peal of well

his return from quelling the Jacobite

five or ten minutes, after which the
creolin should be rinsed off and the
animal washed with warm water ana
soap. This treatment is desirable for
cats and will prevent the skin OF the
most delicate animal from being
burned. Finely pulverized moth balls
worked into the fur Of the cat are
also useful The naphthalene IN the
moth baHs drives the fleas out of the
hair. They emerge in stupefied con-
, dition and can then easily be killed.
Insect powder, sometimes called py-
| rethrum, buhach or Dalmatian insect
powder, may be used in the same way.
Fresh, unadulterated pyrethrum is
necessary to secure satisfactory re-
suits
The ground, the floors of outhouses
and similar places where fieas are
supposed to build should be sprayed
with kerosene or crude petroleum
sprinkled about An inexpensive pre-
ventive measure is the liberal use OF
salt scattered about the breeding
places and then wet down. Semi
weekly thorough wettings with water
have been found to keep fleas out of
poultry runs in Texas and salt water
from the gulf is used extensively for
this purpose along the coast.

the top of the cone of sulphur, little

applied. The roem to be fumigated
should be tightly closed beforehand
and kept closed from ten to twelve
hours. At the end of that time the
doors and windows should be opened
from the outside and the room thor
oughly aired before it is entered
Various methods of trapping fleas
have been tried at one time or an
other, but none Of these appear to be
of as much practical value as the
methods already discussed. It is
we'll to remember, however, that the
flea cannot jump upward very far-a
few inches being the usual limit-and
for this reason If the legs are pro-
tected a person is rarely bitten.

presents some difficulties. Fairly good
results are obtained from the local
application of kerosene and lard in
the proportions of one part kerosene
and three parts lard, but if used too
freely this may injure poultry.
In the case of other species the
insects hop about much more free
ly and may or may not, therefore,
be found at any given time on their
hosts. When dogs or cats, however,
are found to be suffering, a bath in a
per cent solution of creolin will
probably be found to be effective. A
sufficiently accurate method of max
ing such solution is to add four
tablespoonfuls of creolin to each gal
Ion of water. Warm water should be
used and the animal placed in a tub
with the solution in it. A stiff brush
should then be used to work the solu-
ton into the hair, particular care be-
ing taken to wet the feas on the head

1t is well-known fact that certain

from their share in spreading conta-

The sticktight flea differs from the
others in that when it has once at
