DESTRUCTIVE FIRE
AT LEXINGTON


- A special dispatch to the News
and Courier Tuesday morning from
Lexington states:
Practically the whole town of
Lexington was destroyed by a fire,
which started at l0:40 o'clock last
night, doing an estimated damage
of 100000. wiping out every busi-
ness house in town except the
Caughman- Hammer Company, the
Harmon Drug Company and Meetze
& Son. The Home National Bank.
on the corner of Main and Depot
streets; the court house and the
county Jail were also saved by heroic
efforts.
The fireoriginated in the store of
the Sawyer Drug Company and was
quickly swept by northwest wind
to adjoining buildings on each side.
The following buildings were con-
sumed: Scott Hendrix, two stores;
the old w P Roof building, which
was unoccupied. except by barber
shop; Mitchells meat market, a
small shoe repairing establishment,
Barley Barre Hardware Company,
EB Roof & Sons, Andrew j Matthias,
Sawyer Drug Company, E G Dreher,
Enterprise Hardware Company, Sar-
rats Bazaar and the Lexington
Dispatch. The Bank for Western
Carolina went up in the flames, as
did the building of Alfred j Fox, in
which was located a pool room and
barber shop. Meetze Hotel and the
Citizens Telephone Company's build
ing were consumed.
The Caughman-Kaminer Company
was saved only by the most heroic
efforts. In attempting to save this
building Capt Chas H Kelso, of
Cleveland, Ohio, who is spending
\ the winter in Lexington, became
overheated and had to be carried
away in fainting condition. He
recovered, however. and resumed
the fight. Others were more or less
injured, but none seriously.
The Columbia fire department was
called upon for aid and responded
promptly, but on account of lack
of water supply the firemen were
powerless to lend assistance.
The town is practically wiped out
and everybody is more or less ex-
cited.

For Its Size, Sting of
Bee Is Most Effective
Internal Machine Known

In proportion to its size, the sting of
the honeybee is probably the most eff
fective internal machine In existence,
says the Popular Science Monthly.
The singing apparatus is smaller than
that of rattlesnake, yet single sting
has been known to kill man. When
we realize that 1t is almost invisible,
and consider what 1t can do, we cannot
fail to be astounded. 1t seems the
very quintessence of devilishness.
The honeybees sting is complicated
so complicated that many words and
much ink have been used In discussing
its construction and use. 1t is gener-
ally conceded that the sting consists
of three parts, the principal one being
a sheath within which move two barb
ed lancets. Like the barbs of n fish
hook, the lancets are not easily ex-
tracted from the flesh into which they
have been driven. The sheath and the
lancets combined form a hollow tube
through which the poison flows from
the poison sac. Two hairy, soft pro-
jections, evidently very sensitive. In
form the bee when she Is In contact
with a stingable object.

Red Men of the Western
World Had a Universal
Language Centuries Ago

A white man who visits a foreign
nation finds it hard and sometimes i'm
possible to make his most ordinary
wants known. The red man has no
such difficulty; the problem of uni
versal language was solved centuries
ago by the savage inhabitants of this
western world.
Should an Indian from northern
Alaska go to Patagonia, he could by
means of this universal language con-
verse with his southern brethren al
most as easily as he could with his
neighbors at home. That would also
be the case if he visited Central Amer
lea or met the tribesmen of our own
western prairieS and mountains.
When this language was invented no
one knows, but every Indian learns it
in addition to his own. Recently two
chiefs of different tribes met in the
geographical society rooms ia Washing
ton and held conversation that last
ed nearly three hours, and yet neither
one knew a word of the others lam
guage.
This universal language is, of course,
made up of signs. For example, if an
Indian is passing through a strange
country and sees other Indians at a
distance, he makes the peace sign
that is, he holds up his blanket by
two corners so that it covers his whole
figure. The same thought is eX-
pressed by extending the hands, palms
outward, slightly inclined from the
face. Any Indian would understand
either one of these signs.
Then there are the abstract signs by
which the ''savages" can express their
thoughts with regard to the great spir-
it, heaven, good, evil, life and death,
sickness, health, riches and poverty.
Life is expressed by drawing an mag
mary thread from the mouth and death
by chopping this thread off. Another
sign of death is to hold the tips of
the fingers of one hand against the
palm of the other and let them grad
ually slip downward and at last drop
beneath the palm. - Youths Com

YOUR MAIL
BY DR.. SAMUEL G. DIXON,
Commissioners of Health of PennsyI-

vania.
Do you read your morning mail at
the breakfast table? Have you ever
used knife or fork to open your let
ters? 1t is not an uncommon practice,
and yet an uncleanly and dangerous
one.
The post office is essentially public
utility, and it is universally used by
all classes of people. A common point
of destination may put my lady's
dainty note beside dirty scrawl from
the vilest of slums.
Millions of pieces of mail matter are
handled. A certain number of these
come from people who are suffering
from all kinds of diseases, some of
them loathsome and infectious.
Stamps and envelopes, contrary to
hyg1enic rules are for convenience
sake, frequently licked. Despite quar-
antine precautions, mail sometimes
comes from houses where cases of
communicable diseases exist which
have not been reported.
Mail bags are not subjected TO regu-
lar disinfection, and are not so cleansed
as to make them safe from the danger
of becoming factor in the transmits
sion of disease.
During the recent epidemic of in
fantile paralysis, many of those work
ing on the disease, formed the opin-
ion that it may be carried by third
person. Is it unreasonable to pre-
sumo that the disease may be carried
through the mail?

small, about one-fiftieth of an inch
long, of a glossy reddish color. In
about three to five days these eggs
hatch into small reddish larvae scarce
ly larger than the egg from which they
Matched, and these larvae migrate
down the blade between the leaf
sheath and the stem until they reach
point near the root. Here they stop,
begin to absorb the plant juices, and
cause gall-like enlargement or swell
ing at the point of attack. They grow
rapidly, and three weeks later are
thick, whitish maggots about one
eighth of an inch long.
Become Lively in April.
Once fully grown the larvae con-
tract, leaving their outer skins to form
hard, dark brown shells, commonly
known as fiaxseeds or puparia, and re-
main in this condition and situation
through the winter. Inside these flax
seeds the white larvae may be found
until toward spring when they change
to the pupa stage. Early in April the
pupae push off the end of the tlaXseeds
and then force their way out from I'M
der the enveloping leaf-sheath. Hav-
ing found a way out Of the plant the
thin pupal skin splits and the adult fly
escapes. Eggs are laid back on the
wheat during April and early May and
the same development is gone through
as in the fall, except that the migrat-
ing larvae focate' in the first or second
joints above the roots. They become
full grown and enter the flaXseed stage
before harvest, remaining in the stub
BILE through the summer if it Is or
mally dry, to give forth the adult flies
of the fall brood in September; but If
the summer is rainy many will come
forth soon after harvest and go through
an additional summer brood on the VOL
unteer wheat.
The injury by the Hessian fly Is
done during the fall and spring by the
growing larvae of the two broods. In
the fall the first effect of attack is to
cause the wheat to become abnormally
dark green and to tiller freely, later
turning yellowish and brownish and
finally killing the affected blades. The
field then appears dead in spots, or
sometimes over the whole field. Badly
attacked plants may later recover If
there is plenty of moisture. In the
spring the presence of the larvae in
the lower joints interferes with the sap
flow and .7eakens the straw, so that
the heads fail to fill and toward har-
vest the straw is apt TO crinkle or
break at the point of attack so that
the grain becomes badly lodged and
often not worth harvesting. Only
wheat, rye and barley among our Gull
tivated grains are attacked by the
Hessian fly.
Rotation of crops is a practicable
Hessian fly control measure, for not
only does the bringing in OF corn. oats,
alfalfa, or clover tend to stG,rye out
the pest, but if the wheat field is
changed the fall brood of flies must
migrate to more or less distant fields
to find wheat and this results in a
large mortality among them.
