ELIMINATE THE FLY.
Powdered HellebOre Simple and Ef-
fective Means Of Destroying the
Dangerous Pest in It's Favorite
Breeding Place.

An educational crusade against the
house fly in which every proper means
of publicity should be employed is
urged bv the Department of Agricul-
ture. In a new Farmers Bulletin, No.
796, it is stated that the danger from
the house fly must be brought more
forcibly to the people before health
officers can do effective work.
BY the expenditure of sufficient pains
any one individual may prevent flies
breedin on his premises, but this will
not rid him of danger from flies If his
neighbors are careless. There is, how
ever. no excuse at the present time for
permitting flies to breed in anything
like the numbers i'm which they have
done in the pats.
The vast majority Of flies develop
from eggs which are laid in horse ma
nure. and there are two simple ways
of destroying the larvae. as the young
insects or maggots, which hatch from
the eggs are called. Sprinkle the me-
nure heap with a solution prepared by
adding half a pound of powdered he'll
lebore to ten gallons of water will de-
stroy, according to recent experiments,
from SO to 80 per cent. of the larvae in
the manure.
If this is not done, the use of a sim
pie maggot trap will prove equally ef-
fectiye BY experiments carried on by
the Bureau of Entomology Of theUnited
Stats Department Of Agriculture at the
Maryland Agricultural College, it was
found that the trap used there would
destroy fully 80 per cent. OF all the
maggots or larvae breeding in a given
lot of manure.
Such trap is simplicity itself con
sisting merely of q Slated platform
standing about one foot high upon a
concrete floor which is surrounded by
rim or wall of concrete four inches
high. The floor slopes little to one
corner in order to allow liquid manure
TO eb drained off into small cistern.
Ordinarily. however. this drain is
plugged with stopper and the concrete
floor filled with water to depth OF one
inch in the shallowest part Each
morning the manure is removed from
the stable and heaped upon the plat
form The flies lay their eggs on it as
usual and the larvae hatch as usual

GUNS FOR U. S. SUBMARINES.
New Arm to be Installed As Fast As
They Can be Supplied.

The Navy Department is satisfied
that in the new 3-inch gun developed
by naval ordnance experts the United
States will have a submarine arma-
ment as good as anything if not better
The first of the new guns will be
placed on the MI within ten days, and
further installations will follow as rap
idly az guns can be made ready. These
guns are of the disappearing type and
drops below the deck Of the submarine
for reloading and reappears again in
what is said to be remarkably short
time.
The gun will also have a high angle
of fire. so that it can be used against
aircraft If necessary. The theory of
many officers in the navy is that the
aeroplanes and the dirigibles are the
natural enemy of the submarine since
the underwater boats can be located
from aircraft even when the former
are submerged.

Official advices from Ambassador
Page at Rome, reporting that an amer

he had received the same report as that

night from Rome and that the mes

have been delayed in transit.
The State Department received late
to-day a second dispatch from Ambas-

informed that the Communipaw had
been captured and taken to port un-

his information and the nationality OF
the captors were not mentioned.
No confirmation of the news dispatch

the Communipaw's safe arrival at Al
