The scorpion's Wonderful Ear.

have studied the habits of the SCOT pion for many years and have often noticed how very sensitive scorpions are to the most delicate sound. musical or otherwise. Under the thorax the scorpion has two comblike appendages. which are the antennae pectinatae). It is pretty well settled by physiolo- gists and entomologists that in insects the antennae represent the organs Of hearing. These delicate structures are easily affected by the vibrations of sound, and there can be no doubt what ever that they are also affected by sounds quite inaudible to the human ear. The slightest vibration of the at- mosphere from any cause whatever at once puts in motion the delicate struc, lures which compose the antennae, to which organs insects owe the power of protecting themselves against danger as well as the means of recognizing the approach of one another.-London Spectator.

NAVAL SIGNALING.

It Began In Ancient Days by Raising
 and Lowering Sails.
 The origin of the idea of using flags by day and lanterns by night for sig naling in the navy came into being as far back as the middle ages.
 In those ancient days some one thought out a method of raising and lowering sails. the number of times they were raised or lowered indicating the letter that was to be sent. That proved very wearisome work and was superseded ill the seventeenth century by the use of balls and cones hoisted in various positions on the masts and booms. At night different colored Ian. terms were used
 In the following century twelve flags were used, either singly or in combina- tion, and these flags supplied all the signaling that was necessary in fight ing, as Make all sail" Engage the enemy" "Chase the enemy" or An chOr."
 When the battle of Trafalgar was fought the signals were sent by light guns and flares and flags, and it was not till after that battle that the sys- tenn. invented by Sir Home Popham was used and on which are based the present day methods of signaling.
 The system of signaling from ship to ship by semaphore was due to 8 Frenchman named Chappe in 1794 and ndoptef in the British navy few years 1ater.-LondOn Telegraph.

SENATE C0s.FlnMED The
NOMINATION CT BRAND SIS
Supreme Court Nominee Wins AFTER
Long Fight, and First Jew on
Highest Court Bench.

WASHINGTON. - The nomination OF
Louis d Brandeis of Boston to the
supreme court to succeed the late 10
seph Rucker Lamar ives confirmed by
the senate Thursday by vote OF ~
to %. The vote, taken without debate,
ended one of the bitterest contests
ever waged against a presidential
nominee. Mr.. Brandeis will be the
first Jew to occupy seat on the su-
preme bench.
Only one democrat, Senator New
lands, voted against confirmation.
Three republicans, Senators La Fob
lette, Norris and PoindeXter, voted
with the democratic majority, and Sen
ators Gronna and Clapp would have
done so, but were paired with Sena-
tors Borah and Kenyon.
Throughout the fight President Will
son stood firmly behind his nominee,
never wavering when it seemed GER
tain that an unfavorable report would
be returned by the senate judiciary
committee. Before the committee
voted he wrote letter to Chairman
Culherson strongly urging prompt and
favorable action.
Senators who voted for confirmation
include Rroussard, Culberson, Gore,
Lea of Tennessee, Owen, Ransdell,
Sheppard, Shields and Vardaman.
The following pairs were an
nounced: Senator'S named first being
for confirmation and those named sec
ond against.
Williams with Penrose; Robinson
with BUrleigh.
Senators who were not paired and
who did not vote were: Clarke, demo
crat; Sherman and Mclean, republi-
cans.
OF the senators who were paired
many were absent because of the ap-
preaching republican National cOnyen-
ton in Chicago. All the absent sena-
tors had arranged to be paired in the
vote, however, except Senators Clarke
Of Arkansas and Mclean of Connect
cut. Senator Sherman of Illinois, who
was paired with Senator Thompson of
Kansas, released the Kansas senator
that he might vote.
The nomination of Mr.. Brandeis was
sent to the senate January %. It was
referred to the Judiciary committee
and Immediately q flood Of protests
against confirmation and memorials
in favor thereof began TO pour in.

Leguminous Crops That May
Be Planted With Corn.

The planting i'll corn of a sum-
mer growing legume, particularly
COW peas, velvet beans and soy
beans, is to be very strongly COM
mended. They not only add nj
trogen to the soil and enrich it for
subsequent crops but they aid in
maintaining it in a condition of
filth. The amount of water thrown
off through the leaves by crop of
COW peas is smaller than the amount
of water lost through evaporation
from the bare surface of the soil.
If crop of corn is esired for seed
purposes, a bunch pea should be
planted, such as the New Era, or
the Croft, or Brabham, three of
the best varieties of peas introduced
in recent years. These varieties
will not make sufficient vine to in
terfere with the proper drying out
of the ear of corn, or with examin-
ing the stalks and ear in the field
selection of seed.
Ordinarily soy beans are not a
very desirable crop to combine
with early corn. They have to be
planted after the soil is thoroughly
warm and to properly combine

Every cjtrue-frui, grower iu

ker the appearance OF the disease,
the varie5e, Affected. the cause Of
the disease. how il is spread. etc.
Ii also discusses the eradication OF
tbs disease and shows this can be
done only by burning the infected
trees.
The growers of citrus fruits
should do all in their power to
help the cauker eradication work.
They are the ones who will profit
BY the work, and, on the other
hand, it will be their loss if the
canker is not eradicated. Some of
the things the growers and those
interested in the orange industry
should DO may briefly enumerated,
as follows;
l. Keep out of the groves, stay
away from all citrus trees and do
not allow animals to run in the
orchards. Do not allow visitors in
your orchards. individuals with
canker cures should be invited 10
stay. The only persons who should
be permitted to go near the trees
arc tbs inspectors who have charge
Of the eradication work.
| 2. Il is very dangerous to set
out citrus stock of any kind until
/ the canker IS under complete con-
troll, To print citrus stock at the
present time will only help to COM
I pIicate a serious situation and is
J liable to spread the disease.
3. Be careful in picking fruit,
The disease can be spread verv
easily by fruit pickles. If there
IS canker present in the neighbor-
hood inspectors should be consulted
ID regard to picking the fruit.
4. Help che inspectors as much
as possible in their work. This
cap~be done BY giving them infor-
nation regarding citrus paintings
