there is one in dark peacock blue,

really beautiful detail is the shir-

a rather full tunic-like coat skirt,
which is further formed by a mar

WHY THE SPARROW THRIvES
Increase of the Pesky English Imper-
tation Is Quite Easily Ac-
counted For.

Mr.. r. L. Burns. the bird cenauS
man, has recently been taking acen-
sus of English sparrOWs, and his esti-
mate is that there are 10000 millions
of this interesting bird in this cOun-
try. We presume that this is so, al
though we have no accurate means of
checking off his figures, except that,
judging by the sound just outside of
our window in the morning we shcCId
think that possibly Mr.. Burns had IN
derestimated the total.
The English sparrow has thus tn
creased from the time he first came
over to this country, much more than
we have. We are only about 113 mil
lions, and he is 10000. How can this
increase be accounted for?
Quite easily. Since he came he has
attended strictly to business. He has
not had time to pass any eugenic
laws; he has had no medical profess
sion. He is not interested in politics,
serums or motorcars. He is not a high
brow. He lives in the fresh air most
of the time and does all of his own
He supports no hospitals,
has developed no literature, marries
and unmarries when he feels like it
and, in fact, does as he d pleases.
Why should he not increase? For be-
ing what an American citizen ought to
be, he has the best of us beaten to a
rrazzle.-Life.

ment, to the crusade, and the state
authorities have spent time and labor
upon 1t.
1--WE have been uniformly victor
ious wherever we have met the enemy,
and have stamped it out in portions
of the infected territory, but the war
is not yet over and more funds must
be forthcoming to make the victory
complete" said DR.. Elliott, when dis.
cussing the plague.
A recurrence of the 50-year locust
is what some people have called the
pest. But the school men do not take
quite that view of it. Fifty years ago
there was a grasshopper plague in
Madison and neighboring counties,
still remembered by some of the an
clients of the state or carried down
by tradition to the present genera
ton.
Fifty years is rather too protracted

however. Nevertheless, the plague is
real, the hoppers getting their start

'truction.
Grasshoppers lay their eggs later

o get them stamped out before that
period to prevent repetition Of the

WHERE SEASONS ARE MIXED
Caves Exist in United States In Which
Ice Freezes In Summer and
Thaws in Winter.

There are several caves In the Unit
ed States where nature seems to have
become confused as to the seasons, ac-
cording to Popular Science Monthly.
During the late spring and sum-
mer ice forms, but as winter comes on
the interior of the caves becomes mild
er, the ice gradually melts and a kind
Of subdued summer sets In under
ground.
One of these peculiar caves is to be
found at Coudersport, Pa, and one at
DecOrah, Ia. The superstitious among
the residents Of those localities
give the caves a wide berth and look
with suspicion upon anyone daring
enough to attempt to investigate them.
Edwin s. Balch Of Philadelphia, who
has made study of the subterranean
ice mines, as they are called, states
that according to the theory evolved
by investigators the formation of the
caverns is such that the cold air of
winter does not penetrate and settle in
them until late In the spring at the
time when the water from spring
thaws Is seping through the walls
and roof. This water meeting the cold
air freezes and stays frozen all sum-
mer until, as the fall season ap-
proaches, the warm summer air at last
finds its way into the cave and melts
the ice.
