BEETLES MOST NUMEROUS
They Are Adaptable Creatures, Being
Found Almost Everywhere on
Face of the Globe.

One of the most amazing things In
natural history is the way in which
beetles have triumphed in the struggle
for existence. OF all creatures they
are by far the most numerous, no few
or than 10000 distinct species hav-
Ing been identided-three times the
number of backboned animals
Beetles are wonderfully adaptable.
They are found practically everywhere
In the frost-bound tracts of Iceland
and in the hot desert sands of Africa !:
on the highest mountains, under the
ground, and as fossil. IN the deepest
strata; on land and in water; on
plants, among stones and in wood and
earth, and even In the very craters Of
volcanoes.
But there is one place where no
beetle has yet been found-it is the in
hospitable land of Spitzbergen. to the
north of Russia. Here are mammals,
birds, fish, mollusks, crustaceans. a
few insects of varied species and many
spiders. but not a single beetle

Forest Hills, L. l., July 4.-The hy-

and America--was inveighed again to-

Theodore Roosevelt speaking here this

Each German American either must

America Yankee, according to Mr..
Roosevelt's demands Newspapers
printed here in German text should be
required to PARALLEL their German col
umns with TRANSACTIONS in English.
Furthermore, Mr.. Roosevelt expressed
the belief that those who refuse to
serve their country in time OF war
should be DISTINGUISHED. even after
peace la declared.
Many politicians still are champion
ing the cause Of the fatherland, he
said, regardless of the fact that we
actually are at war with that ma
ton. They are supported by profess
sionsl pacifists who are moral traitors
to the republic.
Roosevelt characterized such per
sons as half hidden traitors" and
asserted their damage to this country

aiding its enemies.
There can be no half-and half at

no honorable man can afford to take

SICK BRUTES ARE TORTURED
Cruel and Irhuman Methods OFTEN
Used In Treating Domestic Ami.
mails, Declares Writer.

Barbarous methods of treating sick
animals as practiced in certain parts
of this country are described as fol-
lows by writer in Farm and Fireside.
Numerous cows in our neighbor-
hood have had holes bored in their
horns and turpentine poured In. They
have had their tails split and salt and
pepper inserted, when all the poor
beasts needed was to have the vacancy
in their stomachs filled with nourish-
ing food. A neighbor who lately lost
mule from blind staggers used,
among other crude remedies, turpen-
tine poured directly into the ears. Hog
diseases frequently appear in our COM
munity, and every sick hog Is sup
posed to have the cholera. Some peo-
pie pour coal oil into their hogs ears
as a remedy for cholera. but I can
not see where the good comes from
irritating the delicate membranes in
side the head when the trouble lies In
another part Of the body.
Then when chickens begin to die
suddenly, cholera Is again credited.
and among the remedies employed by
some people tn stamp out the disease
is 10 burn sick chicken alive,
considerable mental effort Is need
cd to realize that here In a supposedly
enlightened land, filed with schools,
churches and charitable organizations
today, In 1917, such barbarisn per-
sIsts."
