TORTOISE OUTLIVES THE HARE
Rabbit May Get to Be Five Years Of
Age, but the Other May Reach
Four Hundred,

The ages OF living things vary from
a moment to hundreds OF years. The
tortoise is said to take the prize
among all land animals for length Of
years. This animal lives. under favor
able conditions, 300 or 400 years. One
died in London in 1906 which was said
to be at least $50 years old. The
crocodile, too, sometimes lives to be
800.
The tortoise has to give in TO the
whale, however, for the latter often
lives to the age OF FIVE hundred. That
is probably the oldest age reached by
any creature which exists upon the
earth today.
The common little English sparrow
lives longer than most of us imagine,
Scientists tell us that some of them
get to be forty years old This is a
ripe old age for so small bird. The
robin. which is much larger, lives
only ten or twelve years. The eagle
holds the record for age among the
birds. It may live TO be 100.
The elephant lives, on the average,
about as long as the eagle. The old
est age among our common domestic
animals is reached by the horse,
which often reaches 30 or more. This
is practically the same as the age Of
lions and camels. The COW may live
to be 25, the dog 10, the rabbit about
five Most OF us know, however, Of
cases in which common beasts or
birds have lived to much greater ages
than are allotted them ordinarily.

FIVE or ten minutes, after which the
creolin should be rinsed of 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 balls drives the fleas out of the
hair. They emerge in a stupetied 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

suits.
The ground, the floors of outhorses
nrd similar places where fleas are
supposed to build should be spra. Ell
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.
Fumigation with sulphur fumes or
hydrocyanic acid gas has been en-
ployed to rid dwellings of heas. Both
of these have the additional advan-
tage of killing rats and mice as well
as fleas, but sulphur is open to the
objection that 1t corrodes metal and
Injuries plants. Hydrocyanic acid gas
is so deadly that its use except under
expert direction is quite out Of the
question. In fumigating with sulphur
four pounds to each 1000 cubic feet
of space should be used. The sulphur
is piled up cone shaped in pan,
which is placed in a larger pan or tub
of water to avoid fire from the heat
generated. A depression is made IN
the top of the cone of sulphur, little
alcohol poured into it, and match
applied. The room 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 fens
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.

TO GUIDE TROOPS AT NIGHT
PrlsmatIe Compass Is Declared to Be
Of Great Value to Military
Commanders.

Leading troops across country by
compass bearing with as much Ger.
tainty by night as by day is made
possible through the use of a pris.
matte compass just brought out in
England. The name given this com
pass is due to the prism fitted to one
side of the frame, although this is not
the most important feature of the in,
strument. The dial, which is made OF
mother-of-pearl, has center coated
with luminous paint and in addition to
this there are luminous patches on the
lid by which the instrument is readily
sighted at night. When a night march
is to be undertaken the instrument is
opened and exposed to the daylight for
half an hour. This is sufficient to
make the dial center and sighting
patches luminous for from six to nine
hours. In the latest form of the in
strument this exposure to daylight is
unnecessary, owing to the use Of
radium, substance that is always self
luminous.-Popular Mechanics.

MAKES PLEA FOR THE BIRDS
Milwaukee Newspaper Points Out
How Necessary They Are in War
ring on Insect World.

War and rumors of war are on
every side and occupy our minds a
large part of the time. There is an
ever present fear Of danger to our
country. There is real danger which
is not considered as seriously or as
frequently as it should be. There is
in many localities a reckless destruc-
ton of bird life. THE hawk has
caught a chicken" is the cry. The
hawk must be shot. The owl shares
his fate. This is without thought of
the thousands of moths and injurious
insects which they have destroyed,
thus enabling you to enjoy some of
the fruits you have been endeavoring
to raise. Had these birds not helped
you by killing insects, you would have
no fruit at ALL The North American
calls attention to the fact that "one
pair of gypsy moths, unchecked, would
in eight years produce a brood that
would destroy every vestige Of foliage
in the United States" What is the
value of one fowl, compared with the

Of an army of mice that are destruc'
tive Many other birds are the good
friends of man, clearing trees from
scale, and various injurious things
that, unaided, he would be unable to
cope with. Instead of killing every
hawk or owl you see, learn about the
birds and discover which among them
are your friends. Few birds deserve
death at your hand. Without the birds
man can scarcely live at all, and If
existing, would be deprived Of almost
every comfort and pleasure.-Milwau,
