AN INGENIOUS SNARE.
Uncanny Insect Trap With Which the
Pitcher Plant Is Armed.

filSHcT EiAHL 10 fATWcus
No trapper ever invented a snare for
his prey more ingenious or trap that
ever had higher percentage of "catch-
es'' than the pitcher plant, for few in
sects ever escape from the clutches Of
this horticultural meat eater. He
catches them. holds them, browns them
and finally eats them.
And while he's doing it he smiles so
innocently and prettily that you would
imagine him one of the quietest and
most peaceable flowers of the woods.
bis leaves are his insect traps. They
are greenish purple and fold together
like cornucopia, with half closed
lid covering the top. The inner walls
Of this pitcher" are lined with hairs,
which point downward and are COW

This fluid is regular candy" for the

terror. AS he crawls forward the hairs

finds that these hairs are veritable
barbed wire entanglements to keep
him a prisoner.
The insect tries to fly out, and the
curve at the top of the pitcher bars his
way. He lodges this way and that, be-

PLANETS AND GRAVITY.
The Vast Difference In Conditions Upon
Mars and Jupiter.


/ Mars and Jupiter.
In an article entitled rs Mars
Alive?" in the Popular Science Monthly
Waldemar Kaempffert describes the
possible appearance Of Marian. In
speaking of the different conditions
prevailing on the planets Mr.. Kaempf-
fert says:
"The bigger the planet on which you
I've, the harder it is for you to move
about. If you were suddenly transport
ed to Jupiter, the largest of the PLAN
cts, and If you were able to live on its
semi-molten surface, you would find it
hard to lift your arm. A steam crane
would be welcome assistance in NOV
ing your body about This is due en-
tirely to the enormous gravitational at
traction which Jupiter would exert
upon you. The bigger the planet the
harder are you pulled down to its sur
face; the harder it Is to put your foot
forward
MARS is only one-ninth as massive
as the earth. Hence you would weigh
much less on Mars than you do on the
earth. A Marian porter could easily
carry as much as terrestrial elephant.
A Marian baseball player could bat
ball mile. A very ordinary Marian
athlete could leap with ease over
moderately sized house. Because his
planet is not able to pull him down
with the attractive force that the earth
exerts upon US, the typical Martian
has conceivably attained stature that
we would regard as gigantic. Three
times as large as human being, this
creature has muscles twenty-seven
times as effective. His trunk must be
fashioned to inclose lungs capable of
breathing the excessively attenuated
Martian air in sufficiently large guam
titles to sustain life. AS a canal dig
that he had no machin-
ery-he would be great success, be-
cause he would excavate a canal with
the speed and efficiency of small Pan
anna canal steam shovel.
Beyond that we cannot go. Intelli-
gence is not necessarily a human at
tribute. It has so happened on this
earth that man has become the domi-
nant race not because of his physical
powers, but because Of his brains. 1t
may well be that the biological condi-
lions Of Mars are such that creature
very unhuman in appearance may have
gained the ascendency in the struggle
for existence on a planet that Is fast
drying up"

HUNGRY ALL THE TIME.
In Other Ways, Too, tho Earthworm 10
ftH aeCurous Creature.

In Other Ways, 90, tho EarthWorm Ia
fta aeCurous Creature
Midnight is the favorite play hour for
earthworms. To catch a glimpse of
them In the daytime you'll have to dig
In the earth, which is their home, or
watch, for them after a heavy rain,
when they can be found on top of the
ground. But 60 out any warm might
with a lantern, lie close to the ground
on lawn or terrace, and you'll prob
ably see them In abundance. *
Probably you've regarded the earth
worm merely as good fish bait and
have never taken the trouble to learn
his habits. When he's providing around
at night he's usually enjoying a feast
on decaying leaves, grasses or animal
matter. Before daylight he's back in
the ground, burrowing his way in
search of more food. His alimentary
canal extends from one tip of his body
to the other, so it's little wonder he's
always hungry 1F
He has neither ears nor eyes, yet
he's sensitive to light, and he knows
when night comes just as other crea-
lures with eyes. Another interesting
fact is his method OF laying eggs. He
grows band around his body like a
belt In which be deposits the eggs.
Then he graduallya works his way
through this belt until he slips it of,
when it closes up and forms capsule
to protect the eggs until they are
Matched
Vegetable growers sometimes regard
the earthworm as nuisance. They
should be thankful, however. that
those Of North America are not so large
as those in South Africa, where there
are earthworms four and five feet long
and as thick as mans finger.-Phila-

So great is the heron's repute as
fisher that it has long been thought
that its feet owing to some peculiar
scent or oil which they were supposed
to possess, attracted the fish, more es-
pecially cells, to within easy reach of
its beak. In some places the rustic
angler still believes that If heron's
foot is placed with his worms the lat

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
BY Fred Johns son.

On Friday evening Meridian, who
claims the state basketball cham
pionship, met defeat at the hands
of the fast Payette High School
team by score of Is to %. The
game was remarkable for the small
number of fouls and the fast play
ing of both sides. Meridian was ex-
ira good upon the passing game but
had hard luck at the baskets. Up till
the end of the first half the game
stood nearly even, the half ending
with a score of 10 to 10, but in the
! last half our boys climbed steadily
ahead At one time the Meridian
boys gave squirt. but soon Gained
down being unable to stand the pace
set by the home team. The winning
Of this game again puts Payet( in
the limelight OF championship.
On the same evening that the first
string defeated the Meridian bunch
the Scrubs" under Capt. Bean, ac-
ccmpanied the Girl team to Nyssa
and defeated Paul Brainard's famous
team that recently put one over on
the Cooling bunch. Capt. Bean says
that judging from the way the second
team played at Nyssa, some of the
