TOLL OF LIFE
 TAKEN BY EUROPEAN WAR

In a bulletin issued by the War Study Society of Copenhagen, on Aug. 1, 1916, the following losses of hum- an life during the first two years of the European war was given as fol- lows: Dead, 4,631, 800; wounded, 11,245,3OO; invalided, 3,373.7O0.
 On November 15, 1916, this society calculated that the number of dead had reached the enormous total of 100000; the wounded over 13,- with a corresponding in- crease in the number of invalids,
 These figures embrace the armies of Austro-Hungary, Belgiumfi Eulga- ria, England, France, Germany, Italy, Russia, Serbia and Turkey in hte first amounts given, and Rumania in the second. During the first two years of the war the killed in all ar. mics engaged averaged 6,336 per day, and the wounded 15,904.

JumpinQ Cocoons.

Many visitors to the southwestern states and Mexico have amused them selves by watching the queer motions Of jumping beans," the seed vessels of a plant, each of which contain the pupa of an insect whose spasmodic movements cause the bean to hop and roll about.
 More remarkable are the jumping cocoons" found in South Africa. The cocoon is formed by the mother in- sect and is very hard. The pupa when ready to emerge must cut its way out. The front of its head has a sharp. chisel-like edge. and by driving this against the inside of the shell 1t grad ually makes a hole. The violent mo- tons of the pupa within cause the co, coon to leap so that one has been seen to spring out of a small glass tumbler.

MEN MAKE
 FIND OF MOLYBDENITE

A molybdenite claim discovered by Chas. Cartwright and Joe Guyot about eight miles from here gives promise of being one of the biggest and most valuable mines in the vicin- ity of Skagway, says the Alaskan. Recent assay tests made in Juneau show values taken from this pros pect to run from $500 to 5000 a ton.
 A tunnel has been driven 50 feet into the mountain side and the fur. ther in it goes the richer the ore becomes. This molybdenite was first discovered in the surface rock and traced along blanket vein, 140 feet wide, for a distance of more than ono and one-half miles.
 There are very few mOlybdenite mines in the world. and the value of the ore is great since it is a good substitute for platinum and tungsten The metal is practically non-fusible The ore occurs in foliated masses or scales, and is lead grey in color. with a metallic luster. In feeling it lit soft and like graphite.
 The metal is used largely for hardening steel, especially the steel used in the large fighting machines of Europe.
 MT. Cartwright said that if they could not bond their property to some big concern, they would work it themselves this summer. The pro- cess of mining is very simple, it be- ing the crushing of the rock to 20 grain mesh, and the washing of it in sluice boxes similar to placer gold mining.

CHAMP CLARK BOOM FOR

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 23.- One of the noticeable political cur rents since the reassembling of Con- gress is the well-defned purpose to start movement for the nomination of Speaker Champ Clark for the Pres idency to succeed President Wilson in 1920. One of the interesting fea- lures of the agitation, if it can be said to have reached that point is that thus far the ultra Bryan men are behind it, and it is said, the movement has the benedictiOn of Bryan, himself. So far the only ob- jection that has been urged against the plan is the circumstance that the Speaker will be 70 years of age in

 Both claimants pestered Mayor B F. Gillian so much that he refused to turn the keys over to either until the courts decide who is the real may. or and council.

MATCHING OF BEES.
Their Method of Escape From the Wax
 .... CsIls of the Hive. 1

Ihair Method of Escape From the Wax |. Cells of the Hive. :t.
 It is interesting to watch young bees in the act of hatching out from the cells of the hive. The wax cap. ping which confines them is thin. but 1t is quite strong enough to give the tender young bee a good deal of trou ble in nibbling it through.
 At first one can only see part of the insects head through small hole 1t has made. It gradually nibbles away the wax till the hole is big enough for the entire head to get through. but ere this stage is reached the young bee has been assisted in it's efforts by several of the older bees who. though no doubt engaged in some other work. pause on their way and very considerably nibble away a little of the cappinG with their stronger jaws.
 Once the head of the young bee is out of the cell it has much more pow. CT. and. after pulling and twisting perseveringly. the thorax is gradually worked free of its prison. Then the abdomen slips easily after it. and the birth of the bee is accomplished.
 When they are free of the cells the young bees stand for some time pal pitnting and apparently getting their breath again after their efforts. while some of the nurse bees gently stroke them and give them food.-London Tit Bits

NATURE AS A SURGEON.
Some Species of Trees Amputate Their
 Limbs Regularly.

Some Species of Trees Amputats Their
 Limbs Regularly.
 Nature in many instances is her own physician. treating her ills without con. sultation and rendering unto herself most excellent treatment. Healing al ways takes place without infection, and DO great strain is put upon the tree itself. Her surgery is bloodless and, so far as we know. painless, writes David Brock in the Scientific American.
 Take, for instance, some of the pop lar and willow trees. When the i'm mediate environment is not adapted to the best growth of twig or branch of these trees nature sets up @ special cell formation, a corklike growth which gradually cuts off the nutrition from the part about to be eliminated. These abscess cells, as they are term ed, form close up to the parent limb or trunk and encircle the part to be removed with such uniformity that lit- tie more plant tissue is involved than Is really necessary.
 When in the early spring a tree re- ceives a great amount of nutrition nu- merous branches are sent out which later in the summer become shaded and of no value to the tree. It is then that the process of elimination takes place. These trees. as a rule, do not lose their branches until late summer.

BIG GAME PLENTIFUL
 IN EAST AFRICA

MOMBASSA, B. E. A., Jan. B. Large game, including elephants, rhinoceri and buffalo, are very plen- tiful in East Africa, as the war has practically stopped the visits of hunt CTS. Reports received here state that this is especially true of the northern reserve, where the rhinocri have be- come so numerous as to be verita- ble nuisance. The southern reserve has been the scene of extensive mili- tary operations, and therefore game has been used for food but not to an extent that will cause any scarcity in future years.

Clean Up the Place

Flies are a pest that can be con-
trolled if you will practice few pre-
yentiye measures.
a. Haul out and spread the manure
once week.
B. Treat the manure with borax or
white hellebore to kill the maggots and
eggs.
1. Borax is sprinkled over the ma
nure at the rate of ten ounces to
eight bushels of manure. Pour two or
three gallons of water over the manure
after the borax has been added. This
will cause the borax to be carried into
the manure. Be sure and sprinkle the
outer edges. for this is where the mag
COTS gather before going into the next
stage of development.
q. Dissolve one-half pound of white
hellebore in ten gallons of water and
sprinkle thoroughly over the manure.
8. If it is inconyenient to remove the
manure each week, it may be treated
with the borax and hellebore in the
stables. Calculate the amount OF ma
nure In stable and use them In the
same proportion as above.
A. Make or buy fiytraps early In the
season and use them all the time dur
ing the fly season.
