Sother illustration Of the pernicious

many people began eating spinach.

strength to run the Iawnmower oy,

Rifle That Shoots Around A
Corner.

A rifle that shoots over the parapet
while the user sits in comparative
safety in the trench without Decess-
ity for exposing himself to the fire
of the enemy is a late invention
brought out by a well-known sports
man and described with illustration
in the June Popular Mechanics Mag
aZine. The feature of this inven-
tion is that the rifle is held veTti-
cally while the projectile is fired
horizontally. This is accomplished
by a curved DETECTING tube. fixed
to the muzzle of the gun, that
changes the course Of the proiectile
from the vertical to the horizontal
as II leaves the enn. In spiteof the
enormous friction that must accom-
pany this change Of direction, the
tube as shown by actual tests, is
not subject to excessive wear. while
-the effective range of a rifle equipp-
ed with this device is between 100
and $50 yards

Mosquito Pest Suppressed BY
Colony Of Bats.

SCASay va
The determination of mosquitoes
by means Of bats has proved so
successful ip the vicinity of San
Antonio. Tex. that that city has, a.
dOpted an ordinance forbiddine the
killing Of these little flying animals,
and colonies are being established in
other mosquito-infested sections OF
the South. The June Popular Ne
chanics Magazine says:
The country around Mitchell
Lake. ten miles from San Antonio.
where the first or these bat roosts
stands. was formerly so thickly in.
tested with mosquitoes that ii was
almost impossible to remain out Of
doors at night. and since most Of
the insects were of the malaria,
carrying variety. the section became
lnOt0ri0us for the prevalence Of chilli
and fever. Now Il is one Of th.
healthiest spots in Texas and al
due 10 the effort Of the bats."

FOREST MONEY |S AVAILABLE FOR
 ROADS

JUNEAU, Aug. 11-Judge Jennings today handed down an opinion which disposes of the receipts of the national forests of Alaska, which were turned over to the territory, and over the dis position of which there has been con siderable difference of opinion. The courts ruling means that the money will be equally divided between the four judicial divisions of Alaska.
 The law which provides that twenty five per cent of the receipts from na- tional forests shall be expended in the county or counties in which the forests are situated caused all the trouble. In the territorial legislature the delegates from the other divisions contended that there are no counties in Alaska and ordered the money divided in four equal parts. The delegates from Southeastern Alaska were not satisfied COHIeuuIus tildI TUT lilS puipOSe lHo First Division is the same as a county, and hence appealed to the courts.
 Judge Jennings sustained the de- murrers of the territory, in the suit brought by the representatives of the First Division, to prevent the pay ment of road moneys in the four diyi- sions of Alaska. In an opinion on the road money case the court refuse to declare constitutional the action of the legislature in dividing forest re- serve moneys.
