Scare Pests While Lying in Bed.

During the mango season in India much injury is done to the fruit by night-birds, particularly the so-called flying foxes, and to keep these off with the minimum of inconvenience to themselves. the natives have invented an interesting contrivance. First of all they bedeck long bamboo pole plen- tifully with tin cans and other noise- producing utensils and fix this up among the branches of one of the fruit trees. To this, they tie cord reach ing down to the ground and the other end of this cord they tie around their own ankle. By this means, they can lie in bed and, while resting the rest of their body, can work the noise- maker with their legs.

It's All Wrond.

It Is very difficult to practice what one breaches, to make the sauce for the other fellows goose serve for our own gander, or for any doctor to take his own pill. It is like physician who administers to himself carefully sugarcoated remedy while he admin isters to the palate of his patient a dose of raw quinine. Of course one can swallow raw quinine if it is nec- essary and he has the nerve, but here is where the world goes awry, in giv.

Exclusive Turkey Farms.

Exclusive turkey ranches are found in the unsettled foothill regions of Call ifornia and in parts of Arizona and other Western states, where 1000 or more turkeys are raised each season. The establishments are located where the range is unlimited and the natural food of the turkey, such a> grasshop- pcrs and other insects, green vese- tables and the seeds of various weeds and grasses is abundant. Advantage also is taken on these ranches of the turkeys relish for acorns, and where these are plentiful. but little grain need be used for fattening in the fall. The large f1ocks of turkeys are man. aged much like herds of sheep, being taken out to the range early in the morning and brought home to roost at night. They are herded during the day by men either on foot or on horse back. and by dogs especially traiued for the work.

WOOD AS FUEL IN HONDURAS
High Price of Coal Induces Railroad to Resort to Use of coroza or
 Cahoon Nuts.

Owing to the continued high price of coal the Honduras National rail- road has abandoned this article as fuel and is using wood cut along the line of the railroad. The merits of coal and wood as fuels have been worked out carefully by this railroad, and when coal again becomes stabil- lzed at a price sufficiently low, the use of this fuel will be resumed. During former periods of high-coal prices tlls railroad has resorted to the use of "coroza" or "cahoon" nuts as fuel, and while from a standpoint of economy 2nd stoam produced they have proved satisfactory, the intense heat general.

COLLISION Av0IDEu
Operator NarrateS ThriIIinu Story
 of Run-AWay Cars
ACCIDENT IS JUST INVERTED
Reaches Switch Just in Time to K Throw Car Onto Siding-Had Lost E His Key and Broke Lock With Ig 'sa Iron Coupling Pin.

EasThe. most exciting thing which has Happened in the twenty-eight years l have, been in the railroad service oc- cured when was working in q signal tower in the Berkshires at the foot of al i|fye-mile grade. This tower con- trolled the junction of two single track lines. . One day just as the passenger trains, due to connect with each other at the Junction controlled by the tower, .'Whistled in," the operator at the top of the hill licked off, Runaway car, with man on top; brake chain broke, and he cant hold the car." hl"What shall I do?" I asked myself. The tower was small one, and it controlled only the main lines; there were no sidings connected with it. l couldn't head the car down either main line without causing it to wreck one of the passenger trains. If didn't head it somewhere, the chances were the car would run through the switch and hit one of the passenger trains.
 Ran Ahead of Car.
 As the car came in sight q thought struck me: l headed the runaway car to the main line that was con- nected with long siding about three hundred yards down the track. This siding was controlled by q hand switch. After setting the route, I ran down out of the tower and down the track to- ward the long siding, hoping to reach there ahead of both the approaching train and the runaway car when l could throw the hand switch and run the car onto the siding in time to avoid its colliding with the passenger train. The car wasn't more than two hun dred yards away when I started down the track.
 "Run, for Gods sake run!" called the frenzied brakeman on top when he saw what l intended to do; and at the same time he tried to signal the approaching passenger train, in hope it would stop clear of the foul ing point of the hand switch, to avoid side-swiping the passenger train. in case l should reach the switch in time.
 Engineers View Hid.
 Escaping steam hid the engineers view for a moment. and he did not see the run-aWay car coming toward him until he was nearly ut thC foul ing point of the sNiych i was | ying to reach. When he d;d, hH reversed bis engine, anl lc..,,o l,,c..!a. his

PERSIA IS RICH IN OIL FIELDS
That's Why Three of the Big Bellig erent Nations Are After It.
 Fields Only Scratched.

A three-cornered rush for Persia has been on since the beginning of the great war The Germans. by hurry Ing their Bagdad line. sought to reach the hapless Asian kingdom. Russia, which once had maintained a virtual protectOrate over Persia, made n hard drive against the Turks in an effort to keep Persia from being overrun. The British got in the rush and launched their MesopOtamian expedition. Per sia had suddenly become exceedingly valuable. Why?
 The report of the Anglo-Persian on company Utd.) in London a few days ago seems to contain the explanation. C. Greenway, chairman and managing director of the company, stated that the company's accrued dividends amounted to considerably more than sJ00.00O. Ten-inch pipe lines had been completed that permitted the ship ment of 3GO,OOO 900 gallons of oil a year, and additional pumping stations are planned that will raise this to 5000, 900 tons. But the really signif- cant statement was that the fields had merely been scratched and that they gave promise of furnishing enough oil to fill a large portion, if not the whole, of Great Britain's enormous de- mand for petroleum products.
 Mir. Greenway stated that it had be- come a matter of the highest impe- rial importance" to safeguard the de- velopment of the fields.
