New Bug Killer.

A new piece of agricultural appa-
ratus has been developed for the pur-
pose of combating the destructive bugs
and undesirable vegetable growtbs by
an application of steam to the soil
penetrating some distance below the
surface. The machine carries a steam
generating plant and moves over the
surface on a large drum, the periphery
of which is staggered with protruding
stream outlets in the shape of blades
or spines. AS the apparatus is drawn
over the ground the spines imbed them
selves In the soil and while in this po-
sition the steam is released and pene-
trates the soil for some distance
around the outlet, killing the worms,
larvae and bugs and the undesirable
crop Of weeds which seed themselves
from one season to another.

Linen GROWING scaroer.

Gently, n of the principal importers
to this market spoke this way: "Busi-
ness is as active as it Ever is at this
time of the year, when everyone is
trying to reduce stocks as far as pos
sible before taking inventory, and or
ders are placed only for goods that are
really needed to meet some special de-
mand or to fill out u broken line. Flax
continues to get scarcer and dearer as
time goes on, and linens of all kinds
are also getting scarcer and dearer.
This will continue, at least until the
war ends. In many cases merchandise
is still being let out in this market be-
low the cost of replacement, and this
will be done as long as present meth
DDS of averaging up buying and SELL
ing prices are retained."-New York

FOR BALl-BEARlNG PARTS
Measuring Machine That Is Infinitely
More Sensitive Than a Hu-
nan Being.

The average person has little con-
ception of the accuracy with which it
is necessary to work on some classes
of machinery. Ball-bearing parts, for
instance, are produced in large guam
titles, yet in some cases the limit of
error is placed at one-tenth of m
~thousandth of an inch or about one
twentieth the thickness of a human
hair. The human sense of touch is
coarse in comparison. .
A multiple indicator described in
Popular Science is a very satisfactory
device for measuring parts that must
be accurately gagged without loss of
time. The machine consists of a sub
stantial base plate with an accurately
ground, hardened steel facing and an
integral standard carrying a measur-
ing appliance. The dial indicator
reads in ~thousandths of an inch, each
graduation representing a one-thou-
sandth inch movement of the indicator
stem.
The work to be measured is placed
under the measuring point on the null
tiplying lever. As this is very near
the fulcrum, a relatively slight mo-
ton will be changed to one of ten
times that magnitude at the dial in
dictator. If the work is but one-thou-
sandth inch larger or smaller than the
standard, the pointer of the indicator
will move over ten ~graduations on the
dial. An error of one-tenth of a thou
sandth will move the pointer n
graduation.

west and Undine in the northwest,
and to the Austrian cities of Trieste
in the southeast and Klagenfurt in
the north. The situation of Goritz is
a picturesque one, greatly enhanced
by the rare pleasure gardens that
have been called into being by the
winter guests. 1t is built on the left
bank of the IsOnZo river. The worn
rocks of the old castle ruins of the
counts of Goritz dominate the city
from the hillside. The castle is now
used partly as a barracks and partly
as an arsenal. The cathedral, built
in the fourteenth century, is another
interesting monument to the city's
past.
Where Theodore Defeated odoacer.
The fighting which is now occurring
on the Isonzo recalls the great battle
of the Isontius (Isonzo) in the fifth
century, where the Roman emperor
Odoacer met signal defeat at the
hands of Theodore, the Ostrogoth.
The v%anquished leader was driven
back to Ravenna, where, after a pro-
tracted siege a truce was agreed upon.
During the parley Odoacer fell before
the t~reacherous Ostrogoth, who Glove

Japan's Factory Law,

Operation under the new factory
law in Japan. which was to have
gone into effect on June /, has been
postponed for two months by order
of the privy council In order that the
regulations may be revised. These,
it is pointed out, did not sufficiently
guard the interests of the workers
and would result In confusion If at
once enforced. To the working
people of the United States the
hours of labor permitted Under the
new law will meen extraordinary long,
but 1t must be remembered that fac
tory work is young in Japan and that
the working hours are founded on
the hours voluntarily devoted to
work by the people on the farms or in
their wi wOrkshops-twelve to six
teen hours a day. The most import
ant thing is the f~orbidding of child
work under 10 years and limiting the
hours of girls under Is. 1t is, on the
whole, an advance on conditions as
they have been and will open the way
to further concessions to labor.

PLEA FOR BED AS IT WAS
Modern Things That Masquerade az
Such Are Properly Condemned by
Chicago Newspaper.

Modern life, having succeeded in
eliminating economy from the list of
virtues, is now, apparently, conducting
a drive against sleep, which the old
er authorities numbered among man
kinds blessings. People, city people
in particular, seem to be ashamed of
the fact that they must sleep. Tired
natures sweet restorer, sore labor's
bath, that which knits up the raveled
was so praised by Sancho Panza.
prince of squires, is in disrepute.
This tendency to conceal the fact
that sleep still falls upon mankind is
strikingly illustrated by modern furni-
ture. The bed that was frankly u. bed
is being thrust into the background
as something to be ashamed of. Its
place is taken by various kinds of
monstrosities that masquerade as 9TH
er articles of furniture in the day
time, and, indeed, far into the night,
~confessing that they can be made to
serve as beds only when frivolity can
no longer stand or sit, but must, per-
force, become recumbent.
The bookcase, the piano, the bath
tub, the mirror, the closet door, the
Morris chair-these may at any mo-
ment, by the pulling of a strap or the
pressing of a spring, be revealed as
sleeping utensils-beds one cannot
fairly call them. And they function
as beds in q diffident, half-hearted way,
as If ashamed of the Office. Jacks of
many trades, they are masters of
none
Until sleep itself becomes obsolete
the human race must have beds of
some sort, and the more comfortable
they are the better. No sleeping i'm
plement disguised as a photograph, a
bird cage or a cook stove can take
the place of the old-fashioned piece of
furniture that was a bed and nothing
else.-Chicago News.

There was no further word between

took his seat beside her. But many
yards from the house the cars were

The house was a blazing ruin. Men
were searching within it vainly for

Elephants Not cowards.

The fear an elephant has for a rat
has often been spoken of as an exam
pie of colossal cowardlce. But it is
nothing of the kind. The elephant,
when captive and in chains, has every

room. How easy it would be to es-
cape for an hour or two, to fly to Jack,
to spend n last short hour with him,
before the drab life ahead of her be-
gan!
She trembled; and then. with those
memories of the past, she could resist
no longer. She slipped on an old dress
and hat and coat, and softly made
her way down the stairs. She shud-
dered as she saw the roses that had
already been entwined along the ban
listers, heralds of a joy that was never
to be hers.
Halt an hour later she entered

saw the well-remembered figure, soli-
tary at the far table among the lights,
in the midst of the gay crowd. And

answered.
They dined together. 1t was as
merry as in the old days, for they re-
solved to Danish all care or re-
semblance of the present evil from
their hearts. And he told her of his
success, and of his friends some mar
ried, one dead. one travelling abroad.
After the meal he lit a cigarette and
they sat closer together, needless of
the passage of time.
81 am glad to have seer you, Nina"
he said at length. "We had a good
time together. This will refresh my
memory to carry 1t with me the rest
of my days."
She looked ut him inquiringly. "Do
you mean to say, Jack, that you still
care as much as that3" she asked in

Real Cause Of Badness.

Men cut their hair short and women
do not, and it Is a popular impression
among men that cutting the hair in
creases the growth. If it does. it must
be a very limited aid to growth, says
the American Magazine, The real
causes of badness in men, according
to those who have carefully studied
the subject, are the hats they wear.
Women also wear hats, but theirs are
fastened to their hair and do not grip
the head. The tight-fitting hats men
wear interfere with the nourlshment
of the roots of the hair. They com
press certain arteries, veins and
nerves, with the result that the hair

Pheasants Hear zeppellna.

A Zeppelin raid over the east coast
of Scotland was announced in a Curl
GUS manner by ~pheasants. At mid
night a colony of young birds became
extraordinary clamorous, the sound.
1t is said, resembling a long-drawn
wall. An old man who knows all
about %pheasants was awakened out Of
his sleep by the noise, and remarked
Something is gaun to happen" A
few minutes later the sound Of burst
ing bombs was heard, and the sky be-
came infamed. 1t is Of course, a fact
of natural history that ~pheasants, like
all hunted creatures, great and small,
are peculiarly sensitive Of hearing.
