POISON GAS BEETLES.
Fumes With Which eombardisrs Keep
Their Enemies at Bay.

tn0lr COoHhSS AZ Says
Most people think that the use OF
poison gas in warfare is purely
human, or perhaps one should say in-
human. idea. Yet the plan has been
adopted by nature. Certain kinds Of
beetles known as bombardiers and
called by scientists Brachinus make
free use of poisonous fumes to keep
their enemies ut bay.
A typical species known as Brachl-
nus crepitans Is largely attacked by
certain ground beetles. These ground
beetles are very active and can easily
oyertake the bombardiers. Just as they
get within reach, however, n very
strange thing happens. The bombar-
der has the power Of ejecting pecul-
lar liquid, which, when it comes into
contact with the atmosphere, bursts
into sort Of pale green flame. This Is
Immediately followed by u kind OF
smoke.
Now, this smoke has n remarkable
effect upon the pursuer. No sooner DO
the fumes come into contact with the
ground beetle than the creature Is
blinded and stupefied. A strange pa
rulysis overtakes the insect, and 1t
seems unable to move any farther.

Don't Throw Crumbs Away.

Don't throw crumbs away.
They can be used in cscalloped
dishes, in meat loaf or meat cakes, in
making croqucttes or in any kind of
bread. The hOmeccOnOmicS depart

the following uses for bread crumbs:
In making loaf Of bread, !. cup
or ! cup of crumbs can be added to
substitute for an equal quantity of
flour The same proportion can be
used in graham, whole wheat or rye
bread. y-n,
About 1.3 as much crumbs as flour
can be used in boston brown. bread,
gingerbread or any kind of cake. In
baking powder or'soda biscuit as high
as one-half as much crumbs as -four
can be used.
For white bread only white bread
crumbs should be used. and these are
better if Siftcd. For the darker breads
or cakes the crust crumbs or graham
bread crumbs can be used just as well.
The cOarseat crumbs left after sitting
can BE- used In drop cakes or cookies
