MISSOURI GETS ITS 'HOPPERS FROM THE EAST

Massachusetts fishworms look like
snakes.
But Florida and Massachusetts
do not have a monopoly on this
strange Missouri trade. Indiana
and Ohio supply the state univers-
ity with about 1000 frogs and tad
poles each year. To the layman it
probably seems even more absurd
that these creatures should be ship
ped in than that it should be neces-
sary to go across several states to
get worms and "hoppers." The
very idea of shipping tadpoles and
frogs all the way from Indiana and
Ohio when every Missouri mudpud-
die is alive with them, he thinks.
Right there he's wrong. Improb-
able as it may seem, there are parts
Of Missouri which do not furnish
their full quota in the spring time
choir. The region around Column
bia, where the state university is
located, is such a place. Bull frogs
seem to have become wise to the
fact that education is now for them,
that the farther they stay from
universities and colleges, especial
ly' those that have zoology depart
ments, the better off they are.
AIn the good old bullfrog days in
Missouri, when only a dozen or so
students took zoology, there were
frogs Of all kinds and to spare
around Columbia. But times do
change even for frogs, and the
biological sciences have so develop
ed and the number Of students so
increased that Columbia frog is
lucky if it becomes a tadpole, not
to mention a full-grown, 2-yearold
bullfrog.

The bugler would fall in rear, and

The battery would spring to its

But about every third morning
the old man would be in one Of his

would bear him along at a gallop,
straining always to break into a

chiefs of sections would present
sabers at the critical moment, but
the horse would carry Price COM
pletely past the battery and dash
for the stables.
Rest" the top would command,
and his lips twitched with amuse-
ment.
At the stable door the Stable Ser
geant would stand in readiness.
The horse would bolt through the
door, the patient bugler following.

old man would, between them, get

and WELD the spurs, and out they

Once more the battery would

But the horse would carry the old
man completely past again and race

very door of his house, the dutiful

By this time the Captain would
realize the ridiculous figure he was
cutting. And when the horse once
more tried to race past the outfit

HUGE BEAR OUTSPEEDS
FLYING EXPRESS TRAIN

Chasing q big black bear ahead
of their engine for one-eighth Of
a mile was the exciting experience
of a crew of the Tionesta Valley
Railroad in Pennsylvania.
The bear evidently did not see
or hear the approach of the train
when coming up the track, but as
soon as he spied the train coming
merry chase started. Bruin had
the better of the contest, as he
kept about twenty feet ahead of the
locomotive for fully one-eighth of
mile, when he made a big jump off
of the right of way and disappear
ed into the forests.
Around the next curve in the road
lumberjack sat on a log waiting
for the train, and ones scope %
imagination can be expaded by the
thought that should the bear have
seen fit to go on a little farther

Massachusetts fishworms and
Florida grasshoppers are doing
their "bit" for the cause of higher
education in Missouri. Each year
the University of Missouri imports
about 1900 each of the fishWorms
and grasshoppers for use in the
zoology laboratories. An additional
supply is ordered for distribution to
the high schools of the state.
Student collectors, working for
the biological laboratory at Woods
Hole, Mass, catch these earth
worms by the thousands at night
after the spring rains. A good col
lector will take 1,400 or 1,500 or
more in a single night. They are
then preserved in alcohol and are
ready for shipment to school and
laboratories over the country.
There are fishworms a-plenty and
to spare in Missouri, and at times
grasshoppers are so numerous as to
be a menace to crops. 1t IS desir-
able, however, for the caue of sci
ence to go to markets outside the
state for more. Massachusetts fish
worms are four or five times as
large as the Missouri variety and,
therefore, are much better speci-
mems for the geological laboratory
table.
1t is because of a like difference
in size between the Florida grass
hopper and his Missouri relative
that the university lays itself open
to the charge Of nonsupport of
home insect industries. Measured
by Missouri standards, Florida
grasshoppers resemble birds in
about the same proportion that

has his mask on, too--it's special
one-and he knows enough not to
paw it off. He's real war dog.
During these sessions there is
always an official 'sniffer' appoint

door and see If the stuff is still

The charge of fourteen inch gun
is 1856 pounds of smokeless powder
put up in four silk linen bags. The
back end of each bag is painted
red and contains about four ounces
of black powder called the ignition
charge. A brass primer similar to
a rifle cartridge except it has no
bullet ignites the black powder,
which in turn sets fire to the smoke
less powder. Contrary to popular
belief, there is no real explosion,
but progressive burning of enor-
nous rapidity. Vast volumes of gas
at high temperature and pressure
are produced, forcing the projectile
out.
A fourteen inch shell weighs 400
pounds, is five feet long and con-
tains bursting charge. Twelve
