KILL FLIES WITH ELECTRICITY
Pan Surrounded by Live Wire May
 Be Used Against Pests

quick method of killing flies and other insects is to exterminate them with electricity. Anyone who has cleo tric power can make an effective fly destroyer
 To make the contrivance one selects Q fair sized dish or pan which is cov- cred by nonconducting substance. pre- fera bly, of wood having an illiptical hole rut across the center. LengthWise of this hole a coil of wire wound on a core of wood is placed This insulat- ing core is made Dreferabl 3-cOrnered or pyramid shaped. the apex uppermost So the fly or insect which is shocked when it comes in contact with the wire wound core drops off into the pan be- low The core is wired closely and just as soon a fly touches the wire correction is made and the insect Is killed.
 The wires of the core are extended bv cord to any electric light socket. No current is used until a connection is made by the insect touching the wires.
 In order to attract the flv or insect to the fly killer, the dish underneath is partly filled with glycerin mixed with denatured alcohol, which gives off a sweet odor
 Any insect not killed at once by touching the charged wires is drowned when it lands in the dish.

% DEADLY HAND GRENADES

Practice in the throwing of hand erenades was dropped from the drill of the British army about thirty years ago. and even the "grenadiers" have lost their ancient cunning now when II is most needed. The modern grenade is provided with a short stick handle by which it is thrown after fuse is lighted The favorite form of the Germans looks like a school globe. except that il is made If castiron instead of papier mache and that the lines of latitude and longitude are grooves deep-cut so that when the bomb eXplodes it flies into small sharp fragments. It Is about four inches in diameter and weighs pound and a half when loaded.
 But this is too small and short ranged. so the Germans have con structed trench howitzer which fires a bomb bigger than itself The steel shell is fifteen inches in diame- ter and weighs 1S5 pounds nearly as much as the gun including its wheel ed base. The shell is not loaded into the barrel. but rests upon a rod pro- lecting from the muzzle as the gun points upward at an angle of 43 de grees The firing of the gun shoots the rod out of the bore and sends the shell on it's way three or four nun drops to the ground These aerial explosives burst with a terrific noise and fatal effect in the trenches.

THUNDER MADE BRUSSELS HOPE
Citizens Thought the Roar Was Sound
 of the Allies Guns

few nights ago a storm approach ed Brussels. and-a strange thing at this season-distant thunder was heard. At that late hour the city was asleep deserted. dark But no sooner did the thunder sound than windows were lighted up here and there. one heard the noise of doors being opened. people awoke and ran to look and listen Why What had happened? I knew next morning. The sound of the thunder had caused the same illusion in every mind-the il- fusion of guns.
 They are coming, They are com ing!" was the mufNur of the peo- pie as they jumped from their beds When one anxiously expects some body every step that approaches seems <o be his. In the perturbation of the sudden awakening nobody gave thought to the thunder. What could that roar be except the voice Of battle, the voice of victory? That IOise gave life to great dream. They cOme-our brothers from the fields of the Yser" It was incredi- ble. absurd. impossible. but not for their faith And for a long minute of that stormy night the soul of the city remained suspended in pro found emotion composed of doubt, anxiety, intoXication of joy-London Telegraph.

WHY'S AND HOWS THE
 FARMER MUST KNOW

Agriculture has become a science
 Tn the past men found that certain i things they did to plants changed
 them; some of these changes were inn
 provements and so the crops were i'm proved. Nowadays men are finding
 out more than that. They are find
 ing out why plants change They are
 learning just what to do in order to
 get the results they want They are learning how to breed plants just as they have bred horses and cattle. They are finding just what to do in order to make the fields yield more than they did before, and they are finding how to make farm plants grow where they never grew before
 Il is the knowing why as well as now that makes agriculture a science Success in farming depends very much on knowing why plants behave as they do; why the doing of certain things produces good results and why the doing of other things produces poor results. Farms cannot be run best by rules alone. Each field is a problem in itself, and the farmer needs to know how to solve his problems for himself.
 To do this he must understand the principles of plant life. He must un- derstand the conditions which are most favorable to plant growth. and learn to recognize what conditions are unfavorable to it. He must un- derstand why it is that crop plants gradually poison the soil for them selves and why it is an advantage to change crops He must under stand why plants of the clover family increase the fertility of the soil, and why it is that deep blowing and ire quent crumbling of the surface also increases it.
 He must understand the principles which should guide him in the choice of the seed which he plants. He must how to encourage that in visible plant life in the soil which helps his crops, and how to combat that parasitic plant life above the soil which injures his crops by causing crop disease.-John Gaylord Coulter.

WHY CALL LONDON "LoNDRA?o
Place Names Should be Pronounced

IS North First Ave.

When this war is over there will be many arrangements, besides those of territory. It is perhaps too much to ex- pect that a universal meridian or uni versal time will be established still less that we shall have universal money or a universal secondary language. All these things might be brought about if We could only get rid of our preiudices. It is not, however, too much to hope that the present confusion of place names should be got rid of. Why we and the French should persistently de- scribe as Cologne and Mayence cities which their own inhabitants never call anything but Koeln and MainZ it is difficult to understand, and there is cer- tainly no excuse for our pronouncing the name of the Bavarian capital as "Munick," as if in scorn of the dwell lers therein, who call it. as nearly as English letters will reproduce the sound of.
