Rat Deadly Disease Carrier.

The Spanish war developed the fact that the mosquito was the carrier Of yellow fever, writes E. ". Nelson in the National Geographic Magazine. Another type of mosquito is known to be the carrier of malaria. The Eu- ropean war has brought to almost uni versaI public knowledge the fact that body lice are carriers of the deadly typhus and many diseases are known to be carried by other insects.
 Among these deadly carriers of death and destruction none equals the house rat in it's tremendous drain on the prosperity of nations by its de sruction of food and other property, while at the shme time it is the dead Hest of all to mankind as a disease carrier. Within historic times it has caused the death of untold millions of human beings through it's dissemi- nation of the bubonic plague.

The school term was drawing toward it's close in Normal City. a Muncie sub urb, when the pupils of one room were asked to write compositions on any subject they might choose, according to Lee Baird, the principal.
 One little boy turned in his compost ton with the sheet entirely blank ex- cept for the title. "The Home Life of the Fiji Islanders"
 Roscoe, why did you choose so pecu- liar a subject, but choosing 1t, why didn't you write a composition on the home life of the Fiji islanders as you announce in the titIe?" asked Baird.
 Because they ain't any" was the boys reply, while the other children who ha been let in on the joke, roared at getting one "on" the teacher.-In- dianapolis News.

Since the out break of the war the United States has become the largest purchaser of these crystals, followed in order by Great Britain, France and British h. dia. The price has varied from $2 to S2.5O a pound during the last five years, remaining most of the time near the higher mark Recent improve ments in the process of manufacture have kept the price within reasonable limits in spite of a considerable in- crease in the demand since the begin ming of the war.

J. L. Bond, superintendent of pub lie instruction, had to call on the at torney general for an opinion relative to the ages of children who come un- der the compulsory education law. The act passed by the 1917 legislature reads that any person having any child in custody between the ages of seven and fifteen, both inclusive. shall send such child or children to public, private or parochial school
 Superintendent Bond was inclined to believe that children aged seven and aged. .15 were included in the pro visions of the act, but in a verbal opinion. Attorney General Arbuckle said that only those children over sev- en and under 15 years of age are in- cluded.
