Wonders of a Mirage.

The published statement of the ex-
plorer Donald B. Mcmillan that the
Arctic land mass which Admiral Peary
reported and named Croker Land was
but a mirage has stirred new interest
in this strange phenomenon, which can
deceive an experienced observer into
the belief that he sees plains and noun
tains where there is nothing but a few
clouds. The mirage is due to the APP
pearance of small objects seen through
layers of air at different temperatures,
which bend the rays Of light and dis
tort the image, much as the image of
a pencil half submerged in water is
distorted. A typical mirage is often
seen in the deserts of the southwest,
where it becomes quite cool at night,
and the sun brings a sudden change in
the morning, so that temperature lay
ers are created. AS a result small
bushes appear as great trees, with
their doubles below them, as though
mirrored in still water. It was SINH
lar phenomenon which magnif1ed a
cloud bank to look like continent.

Make War On Flies

A fly left undisturbed in May means
a million flies, more or less, alive and
active in June. In their quiet little
way of coming. first one, then another,
we do not realize the nearness Of their
season until whole broods are actu-
ally upon US. IF we don't keep the flies
out of our houses, it is not for lack of
warnings, for every year we read ex-
hortations backed up by unpleasant
statements of fact. Statistics even tell
US that for one man killed in battle
ten are killed by the house fly, but
such statistics we are inclined to be-
lieve must have been compiled before
the present war. Perhaps more i'm
pressive than figures are the pictures
that some of us have seen, enlarged
photographs of the fly, that exhibit it
as a repulsive creature instead of the
dainty little insect that looks, to ordi-
nary eyesight, made to be admired
rather than detested. But the photo
graph OF a fly shows soft little pads
beneath the tiny feet, which catch and
carry thousands of disease germs.
Every time they settle on food they
leave a few Of these germs behind TO
endanger the health, and even the lives.
OF those who eat the germ-laden food.
Thus the nrst step toward protecting
the family health is 70 have windows
and doors well screened, and every
part OF the house, especially where
food is stored or used, kept scrupu-
lousy neat Dishes should be washed
mp Immediately after they are used,
any sheds or outbuiIdings near the
house should be kept in spOtless order,
as that Is where the flies may breed.
and a good supply OF ammunition for
fiy-fghting. homemade fly paper of
nonpoisonous kind. and fly swatters,
