ONE BEETLE A GAS FIGHTER
II Seems Nature Discovered Value of
Poison Fumes in War Before the
Soldiers in Europe Did.

LOndon.-The discovery Of poiSonou.
gas seems TO have been anticipated in
natures laboratory. A little British
beetle has been employing poison gas
TO defend itself for untold ages. One
of the strongholds Of the Bombardier
beetle (Braehinus crepitans) is along
the shores of the Thames in the
GraveSend district. Here it finds a
home under the fiat stones that are
scattered by the rivers bank.
The Bombardier beetle is very liable
to be attacked by some of the fierce
ground beetles, or Carabidae. as they
are properly called As soon as the
pursuer draws close a very remarkable
thing happens. First of all the Bonn
bardier beetle elects a peculiar liquid
which, when IL comes into contact with
the atmosphere bursts into a sort Of
a pale blue-green fame, followed by
kind of smoke
This is seen 10 have an astonishing
effect upon the pursuing beetle In
stantly il seems to be overwhelmed
and quite stupefed by the suddenness
of the attack. The smoke appears to
have a binding and suffocating ten
dency. and tie effect lasts for minute
or so. During this time the Bombzr-
der beetle is able TO make good its
escape.

Bears the
Chinese Trade and the War.

United States trade with China in
creased in 1915, although foreign busi-
ness men throughout the world suf-
fered a loss OF more than S1O0,O00,0O0
in their exports TO that country last
year. China has for years been in an
unsettled condition, yet the country's
foreign trade mounted higher and high
er until the European war. when the
trade was crippled. Wherever q rail-
road has been built in China new trade
opportunities have sprung up and new
markets have been created. On the
upper Yangtze river in western China,

consular district. having a population
Of upward of 100000, no adequate
transportation facilities exist, and no

The People Pay.

The people of the United States are
paying war prices for a great many ar
ticles Of everyday use because those
articles are not produced at home. In
other words. they are having a prac-
teal demonstration at so much per Of
the democratic free trade idea. The
idea is that we ought to buy where we
can buy cheapest 1t may have worked
in the old days, but it doesn't work
now. because all the cheap sources Of
supply are closed. If the old Repub-
lican idea Of protecting industry in our
own country had been followed con-
sistently for the last ten or fifteen
years we should have had factories
busy in the production Of all these
things. and our people would be able
TO purchase them at reasonable prices.
Right now the mistake OF abandoning
the theory Of protection is costing the
people C. this country more than it
costs any European nation 10 do its

At the first splash a score Of hugs
''crocs" on a point Of land down stream
made for him. There followed a race
between the maneaters and the quarry
that nearly ended disasrously for the
Irishman. The last few yards were
heartbreaking. for as he glanced back
over his shoulder he could see the
yawning mouths and ridges of jagged
teeth straining TO reach him. As ne
scrambled up the muddy bank he heard
a dozen vicious snaps.
Almost exhausted, he trudged
through the tangled brush near the
river. Gaining point on some high
er ground, he looked back at the scene
of his escape. To his horror, he saw
the shaggy name OF q lion. which was
coming toward him with nose glued TO
his trail. The nearest place of safety
was a tall tree, which he climbed
monkey fashion. The king Of the for
est nosed about the tree for some time,
whining in disappointment over his lost
meal, but eventually he went his way.
By this time O'Brien was well-nigh
exhausted. His clothes were torn and
his flesh lacerated by the brush. The
pain Of his wounds produced a high
fever, and the brackish water which
he was forced to drink made him i'll.
All night long he staggered On. but he
remembers little after shutdown of the
second day.
Toward noon Of the third day after
his disappearance a sentry far out
ahead of the British lines saw q
movement in the brush and thought an
animal had strayed near. He raised
his gun 10 fire, when human hand
was raised above a cluster OF brush
Amazed. the sentry went forward, and
there found O'Brien half crazed with
thirst, soaked with mud and covered
with blood from scores of slight cuts.
His wife. TO whom he had been
married but a few weeks before he left
for South Africa. had left England to
join him before he was reported miss
ing. When he recovered from the
fever and opened his eyes for his first
conscious look at his surroundings his
wife was sitting by his side. having ar
rived in the meantime. and nurSed him
through the critical illness.

CROCODILES FOE,
after GERMANS
Irish Aviator. Shot Down in
Africa, Tells of Remarkable
Adventures.
THREE DAYS IN THE JUNGLE
Escapes From a Lion by Climbing a
Tree-Three OF His Ribs Broken
When Machine Is Brought
Down.

London.-Tales OF adventure from
the jungles of South Africa, where
General SHUTS is operating against
the Germans, are not uncommon, but
it is seldom that the wild events en-
couutered by Capt. A T. O'Brien of
the Royal Flying corps, told here, have
been equaled.
The details of his adventures were
contained in a letter from his wife TO
relatives in England and have just be-
come public. II is probable that
O'Brien will be decorated for his serv-
ices to the British government and in
recognition of his hardness in surviv-
ing an ordeal that would have meant
death to the average soldier.
He reported to General SHUTS last
April far down in German Africa be-
low Konnoa Irangi. His work as an
aerial scout ahead of the British
troops operating against the Germans
won him fame. Flying over the jun
giles and tangled brush country during
the rainy season is difficult. When an
army of vigilant enemies is added, the
task becomes more than dangerous.
The intrepid Irishman finally engaged
on the losing side of an argument with
enemy anti-aircraft guns.
His Machine Brought Down.
He was flying over jungle country
when German guns located him. One
of his wings collapsed and the machine
side slipped into the trees, which par
TALLY broke the fall, then crashed to
the ground Had il not been for the
trees both driver and machine would
have been smashed TO bits. AS it was,
three of O'Brien's ribs were crushed
and for several hours he lay in a
swamp unconscious.
Slowly he recovered his senses and
took an inventory of his injuries. He
could walk without difficulty, but when
he swung his arms. the broken ribs
hurt cruelty. Holding his arms tight
to his sides. he secuted through the
neighboring jungIes, where he discov-
cred unmistakable signs Of the enemy. !
Later. he heard column OF infantry |
approaching. and fearing capture he 1
set fire to the aeroplane and dashed /
off through the underbrush.
Hour after hour he maintained a /
fast pace with the pain in his side in
creasing with every step. When night /
fell he erawled high into a vine-cov-
cred tree. Sound sleep was impoSsi- !
BILE. but at intervals between fighting
insects and making way for jungle
rreepers he managed TO rest and in a
rough way bandage up his injured
side.
With dawn he started out again.
