DEATHWATCH BEETLES.
Their Uncanny Ticking and Their Trick
of Playing Dead


You've probably heard the death
watch beetle oftener than you've seen
him. He hides away In furniture or
Interior woodwork and keeps up -
continual "tlck tick tick" like a watch.
Day or night you'll hear him pounding
away. He's eternally persistent about
Il and ghostlike and uncanny, hence
ais name.
de makes the little ticking noise with
his head, pounding it on the wood. It's
the way he has Of calling his mate, and
his mate answers him in turn. If you
pound on the wood where he Is hiding
he'll answer you just like he does his
mate.
You may wonder how he finds his
way inside a piece of furniture. He
gets there when he's in the grub or
larva state, boring his way through
wood, paper or anything the grub can
eat. The larva which eats it's way
through the leaves of book is a
cousin.
The deathwatch beetle has another
trick besides that one Of calling his
mate by pounding his head on wood
When you touch one of the little crea-
lures he folds his legs up beneath his
body and makes believe he's dead
He will keep on playing possum even
If you put him close enough to fire to
roast thim.-Philadelphia North Amer.

How We Get Our Canned Fish.

The fishing parties usually stay out
from ten days to three weeks. They
carry Ice with them, and the moment
the fish are taken from the hooks they
are cleaned and put In the ice and
kept there until they reach the cold
storage plant. They are washed as
soon as they are landed and shipped
In cold storage cars direct to the mar
kets, or they may be kept for some
time before shipping.
The next step Is to dip each fish four
or five times In fresh water until 1t
becomes entirely incased In thin
sheet of clear Ice. 1t can then be held
In cold storage at temperature Of 4
degrees below freezing until it is need.
ed for export. The fish get a fresh
coating of ice before they are shipped.
They are then wrapped separately In
vegetable parchment paper and are

DIVISION OF NUMBERS.
Rules That Will Simplify Some Exam
Piles In Arithmetic.

Piles In Arithmetic.
1t is often convenient to know wheth-
er a given number is divisible by an
other without going through the usual
process of division. Almost every one
knows that however large a number
may be, 1t is dlvisible by 5 If the last
digit Is ; or 0. The following gives the
rule for some other numbers:
A number is divisible by 2 when the
last digit is divisible by 2; by 3 when
the sum II the digits is divisible by 3;
by when the number represented by
the last two digits Is divisible by 4; by
5 when the number ends in or o; by
6 when 1t is divisible by and also by
3; by when the number represented
by the last three digits is divisibe by
g: by o when the sum of the digits is
divisible by 9.
For example, the number 172S is di-
visible 10y =, because its last digit, s, is
divisible by >; by 4, because % is divis-
ible by 4, and by because T2S is divis-
iblc by 8. 1t is also divisible 10y and
by o. for the sum of its digits total is,
n number divlsible by 3 and by o. Since
II is divisible 10y 2 and by 3, it is also
divisible 10y g.
To find whether number is divisiblc
by Z you must go through the usual
process of division.-Youths Compan
ion.
