 Stomach worm infection follows usu- ally the grazing of uninfected lambs upon old or permanent pastures that have been previously infested The egg from which the stomach worm is matched is thrown off in the feces of infected sheep. Under favorable eli matic conditions this egg matches out the parasite, which develops in the organic matter of the manure until about one-thirtieth of an inch in length, at which time it is ready to be taken into the stomach of the sheep for complete development The worm s chances of reaching its host are en- hanced by it's crawling up on the ten der shoots of grass so eagerly sought by lambs

Geometry Required.

Plato is said to have written over his door: Let no one ignorant of geometry enter here" Today such a restriction would reduce his visit ing list Perhaps outside the profes- sional mathematicians he would have no one at all. All the artists, the philanthropists, the historians, to say nothing of those ladies and gentlemen of leisure whose critical faculties are so importantly developed nowadays. would certainly be absent, and, worse still, would suffer very little at their exclusion. Yet going back into the centuries for guests, distinguished company might have been assembled of those who, without being famous merely for mathematical studies, were known to have understood and loved the subject The Greek philosophers would have been there in a body. Al phonse X, Omar Khayyam, Albert Durer. Leonardo da Vinci, Descartes. Pascal Napoleon and Lewis Carroll.

Wars Effects in Labrador

The far-reaching influences of the present war are illustrated by the eff feet it is having on the Indian and halfbreed trappers of Labrador and Hudson bay, says an exchange The various companies which carry on the traffic in belts in this northern re- zion are curtailing their operations, and although steamers of the New foundland sealing fleet will go north in the coming summer, as in previous years, to take supplies for the fur trading posts and to embark the stocks of furs and fish collected dur ing the past twelve months. they will carry much smaller quantities of trad ing goods and provisions than hereto fore. This policy Is dictated by the fact that since the war began valuable furs have been a drug in the world s markets. and little prospect of any betterment is foreshadowed until aft CT hostilities terminate and old time conditions of prosperity revive.

"MOVlES' IN THE CHURCHES
come Exceedingly Popular in Numerous Sections.

Hundreds of churches throughout the country are now equipped with all the machinery used for giving nov ing picture shows. The church movie which has aptly been called the si- lent sermon. is proving a great sue cess in attracting large congregations.
 A great variety of special films have been prepared suitable for such use, and clergyman in selecting a subject to his taste finds a surprising variety to choose from There are films suitable for sermons on all the commandments, as we'll as many of the most familiar texts in the Bible Several of the firms making a special ty of such films issue regular cata- logues to assist clergymen in select ing silent sermons.
 In scores of churches the projecting machines are part of the church furni- ture. The rigid laws laid down by the fire departments apply as well to churches as to theaters and the ma chimes must be set up in fireproof ne ta1lic rooms. The electric wiring is arranged so that the sermon may be turned on conveniently in the main church auditorium or the lecture or chapter rooms.
 The screens and the rest of the equipment are of the usual standard type Many of the film houses which supply churches have small theaters or exhibition rooms where clergy man may have a trial exhibition of a silent sermon before definitely order ing it.
 The film sermons are rented out at regular rate, according to their length and the nature of the produc- tion. In producing these silent ser mons a regular church service is fol lowed. consisting of the singing of hymns, prayers and reading of the lesson. The films are carefully timed to fit into the place assigned them Some of the catalogues of silent ser mons suggest church services to ac- company them, giving the numbers of appropriate hymns and Scriptural les sons.

 He held in his hand a loosely wrap ped package, from which protruded the edge of what was apparently five cent pie.
 The lady replied that he might ask the Chinaman for the job of cutting the grass. So the colored man bar gained with the Chinaman to cut the grass, for which he was to receive % cents.
 Then it turns out that the Chinaman has no tools, and the colored man s lawn mower is long way off at his home and he is disinclined to go after it, for the way is weary, the flesh tired
 The lady finally suggested in a mat ter Of fact way. Are you going to cut the grass with the pie?" The colored man drew himself up with great dig nity and replied, reprovingly.
