FirefIies and Fire Fish.

Whoever can invade the secret of
the freely and his portable electric
light factory may confer wonderful
favor upon civilization. Possibly in
pursuit Of it, Professor e. N. Harvey,
of Princeton university, has lately
reached Japan. He has gone thither
in fact to make special study of the
"hotaru ika," species of cuttlefish
living in the japanese seas. The
"hotaru ika," he says, lives only in
that part of the ocean. It produces
light in the waters which can be seen
on the surface. The best time to
study this fish is in May and June,
for many of them then come up far
into the rivers. Professor Harvey has
already made a study of japanese fire.

ity on the subject.
DR.. Ishikawa, of the Imperial uni
versity, has already published the re-
suits Of researches in regard to the
"hotaru ika," but most of his re-
searches are said to have been made
in connection with the bodily structure
of the fish.

HOTEL NAMES HAVE CHANGED
Passing Of Old american House" in
Boston Recalls Long Past Period
in American Life.

The old American house, on Han
over street, which gives up the ghost
after % years of continuous service
as Il hotel, was the parent of thou
sand American houses all over the
country. The name itself was older
than that; the building, still virtually
intact, erected in 1851, had had a
predecessor on the same spot, to which
the name American House had been
given in 1885. In the years which
were the high noon of the nineteenth
century no new town was opened up
in Wisconsin, Iowa, Nebraska or Cali
fOrnia without its American house,
called after our original. That was
the period of flamboyant, spread-eagle-
ism which was satiriZed in Dickens
Martin ChuZZlewit, and of which Hon.
Elijah POgram was the shining exam
pie. English names for hotels. such
as the Westminster, the Windsor, the
Victoria, the Buckingham, and so on,
were then decidedly at discount.
1t was the period which gave us such
names as the American, the United
States, the Revere House, the Eagle
Hotel. 1t followed the epoch of fan
tastic and picturesque old titles such
as the Blue Bell, the Indian Queen, the
Red Lion, the Green Dragon, the Blue
Anchor and the Bunch of Grapes, all Of
which swung before their doors.-BOs-

MONEY IN COTTAGE GARDENS
BY LIMA r. ROSE.

When lived in the country we used
to send scores of nosegays TO market,
priced from five to ten cents. We
could not supply them fast enough,
and if people cared to grow common
flowers or pot plants and sell them
outside railway station, for instance,
they could do well with them now.
Make your own leaf mold. When
sod is removed from the ground for
any purpose, shake out the fine soil
that adheres To ii for future use. or
slice off the fine roots with a sharp
knife just below the crown of the
grass.
This is known as fibrOus loan and
in combination with leaf mold, old
manure and fine sharp sand makes the
very best potting soil.
Throw the top of the sods in heap
in some Out-Of-the-way corner, and add
the rakings of the yard in fall and
spring, all weeds pulled during the
summer. all refuse of vegetables, pota-
to parings. apple Feelings. corn husks
and berry bulls. anything that is vege-
table matter and will decay.
All dishwater and Stops that are not
needed on the garden should be thrown
on the pile, which should be turned &C.
casionally during the winter.
BY the following spring you will
have the finest kind of leaf mold.
Not all the pile will have decayed.
but along the edges and underneath it
will he found ready for use.
Add to it every bit of available veg
etable matter during the year, includ-
ing the annual flowers pulled up after
their season of bloom. Add tops OF
such root plants as cannas, caladiums.
gladiOli. and you will soon have sup
ply q,ptte adequate TO the needs of the
ordinary, garden.
Where there are waterworks the
hose may be turned on frequently to
hasten composition.
If ii is impossible to replace all poor
soil in the garden with better, by the
addition of leaf mold and manure
much may be accomplished in the way
of building up and rendering it suit
able.

EXPLAINING THE TELEGRAPH
Headman of Village In Bosnia Relieves
PerpIexity of His People When
They See New Wonder.

As a general rule, the telegraph no
longer arouses the wonder and awe
that it did in our grandfathers. In
remote countries, however, there are
still people who have never heard 1t,
or who are unable to understand it.
The following is story of the per-
plexity that the telegraph caused in
a small village of Bosnia.
The government had installed tele-
graph line from Prijedor to Bihatsch.
"What is the meaning of this wirer'
asked the astonished Inhabitants of
a village through which the line hap
pened to pass.
Its a telegraph" said the head
man of the village, who had been in
consultation with the officials. Zone
can send a message along this wire,
straight from here to STEAMBOAT"
The villagers were incredulous.
''That is impossible. How can mes
sage run along wire?"
The headman thought for q while
then he hit upon the proper explana-
ton. Imagine" he said, "a dog that
is terribly long, and whose tail is
stretched like the wire On these poles
imagine that his tail is so long that he
reaches from here to STEAMBOAT. Now,
suppose we pinched his tail here.
Wouldn't he howl in StambOul?"
And the villagers understood.

which the Quakers predominated, re-

Crown during the French wars, dis
guising their act by voting the money
only for the kings use,' and on one

GOOD
FOR PROMOTING GOOD ROADS
Suggestion Made by Chairman Diehl
for Great National Congress to
Be Held in Washington.

"Unquestionably the time has ar
rived for great national road con-
gress to be held once year in the
national capital under federal govern
ment direction" asserts George G.
Diehl, chairman of the American Au-
tomObile association good roads board.
This gathering in Washington
would be under the auspices of the
United States Office of public roads
and rural engineering of the depart
ment of agriculture" continues Mr..
Diehl, land the event could be made
most comprehensive in its scope; there
could be complete exhibit of road
machinery and road materials; there
could be sample construction of yari-
Gus kinds of highways; road schools
could be conducted for state, county
and town engineers, and various tech
nical phases of the work could be set
forth by trained experts who would
gladly attend such a great good-roads
event.
Then there would come the interre-
lated phases of road travel, and road
transportation. Undoubtedly the de-
partment of the interior, because of its
national parks, would set forth the
scenic attractions which are under
government supervision. Various states
would be given opportunity of adver-
Using their attractions.
"The good-roads board believes in
state highway conventions which are
generally called for a specific purpose
in the endeavOr to concentrate the eff
forts of road enthusiasts for definite
ends. These state meetings are of in
calculable value, for the state is the
/ political subdivision which must carry
on by far the greatest burden of future
road construction and maintenance.
with the vast amount of funds be-
ing expended throughout the country,
the government of the highway depart
ments is becoming largely a question
of scientific management, and it is bes
lieved that if the county were the
smallest unit of administration greater
efficiency would result. The numerous
state gOOd-rOads meetings cOnverged
into great national congress once Il
year held in the national capital, 1t
is believed would be the best way of
handling the changed highway situa-
ton, and the government could proper
