Animals We Never Met.

DR.. N. A. Cobb, an authority on
zoology, declares that there must be
hundreds Of Thousands of species Of
nematodes. or threadworms, more than
nine-tenths of which are still unknown
to science. OF the parasitic nematodes
infesting vertebrate animals alone it
is estimated that there are at least
10000 species. Insects, mollusks, crus.
taceans and other animal groups are
also much infested, and as rule
q given species of nematode is peculiar
to a single species of host. Lastly the
species Of nematode living free in soil
and water vastly outnumber the par.
asitic species. AS these creatures are
enormously prolific, the number of in.
dividuals must be quite beyond con.
ception. Doctor Cobb estimates that
in the upper foot of an arabic soil
the number Of nematodes runs to thou
sands of millions an acre.

sENTRIEs FOR CHURCHES.

A Custom Forced by Native Fsuds In
the Melanssian islands.
In the Melanesian islands the natives
carry on feuds with more relentless
hatred even than the vendettistes Of
Corsica. In these islands Christianity
has been made. at least in outward
aspect, the religion Of the people.
That it really does mean something
to the Melanesian is evidenced by the
reply received from an intelligent old
chief when asked him why he did not
become Christian.
I'm to be-" he said, when ! kill the
devil who kill my boy five years ago"
So relentlessly are these feuds car
ried on that it is the custom for ma.
tive Of wealth with grievance against
another. but who finds it impossible or
inexpedient to kill his enemy and Sc.
cure his head himself, to hire a profes.
sional murderer and pay him upon the
delivery Of the head.
Often in the years that are just gone
1ndiscriminate killing went on with
such savage persistence that even dur
ing church service pot shots" were
taken at marked worshipers through
the doors and windows.
The situation became so acute in one
village that the government was peti.
toned. and the response was the loan
to the missionary of rifle
The missionary took the hint and
armed one Of his natives who stood
guard outside the church during serv.
ices.
And SO It became the fashion on many
OF the islands to add sentry to the
church rolls.-Cleveland Plain Dealer

in the winter. The cannerics are
meeting the demand Ivy putting

housewife who prefers her own
product can put in a supply with
little expense. and not very much
labor. The North Dakota Deyel-
opment League Press Bureau at
following suggestion from one of
Grand Forks has received the
it's correspondents:
Practically all sorts of green's
that are fit to eat may be canned
easily and successfully. Those
include Spinach, Swiss Chard.
Dandelion. and even the humble
pig weed. Clean carefully. Boil in
slightly sailed water until thor

DO not tighten. Place jars in boil.

If the work is properly done the

pared taste mighty good along in

HE had about half an hours start

perfectly plain. He had, in fact, only
one route to take. That was round

the pine products down to the coast.

there was no telegraph there in those

There are a great many strange
facts about animals and insects that

A fly will crawl to the top Of win.
dow pane, fly back to the bottom and
crawl up again. Hardly ever does
1t fly up and crawl down. It has been
known to repeat this former act over
thirty times before stopping.
Hens always scratch for food with
the sun behind them. A blind hen al.
ways manages to get the sun behind
her when scratching, and she will miss
but few bits of food.
Cats hardly ever lie with their feet
to the fire. In most cases they lie in.
stead with their left side to it. Dogs
invariably lie with outstretched paws
to the fire.
A mouse overlooks . perfectly safe
food supply, sufficient for q meal or
two, to enjoy the perilous pleasures Of
an unlimited store. It will hide near
the food and come out to nibble when
hungry, for It is not true that q mouse
will seek its hole at the first alarm.
II small snake is kept in captivity
and fed and cared for, it will become
tame, and after a few months crawl to
its captor for food, when approached.
This 10 true especially Of the small

The unerring ability Of the homing
pigeon to find its former abode is not
due to q sense Of location, but rather
to . natural instinct, which cats and
dogs have displayed when taken from
their homes.
