SLACK-WATER PERIOD OF DAY
Two O'Clock in Afternoon, Declares

In the afternoon is q time of disillus

immense and tragic distance. 1t is the

Is the period when man may perhaps
experience, in the space of a flash, a
peculiar sensation of being an impos-
tor! 1t Is, suppose, in such moments
that generals, commanders, chief en-
gineers and the like jump overheard.
1t is sensation extraordinarily vivid
and brief. No external evidence Is of
any avail to neutralize its dire and
dreadful omniscience. No personal
written record, no esteem of lifelong
friends, no permanent and visible ac-
complishment can shield the sensitive
human soul, thus suddenly stripped
bare by some devilish cantrip of it's
own mechanism. One feels a hollow
sham.

ness Owing to the Peculiar Gait
of the Animal.

Camel riding is learned only at the
price Of suffering. This is because
of the peculiar gait of this animal,
which produces feeling akin to that
of seasickness, owing to the swaying
motion of the body caused by the fact
that the two legs of one side move
simultaneously.
This animal thrives only in desert
regions. And herein lies its usefulness
to man, for by its means alone is he
enabled to cross barren tracts other.
wise impossible. This ability to live
without water and with little food for
long periods is due to two natural
reservoirs. Water is stored in special
pockets in the lining of the stomach,
while large mass of fat is stored on
the back, forming the characteristic
hump-though, according to popular
belief, it is here that the water is held
Though it will manage to subsist for
long periods on the thorny scrub such
as forms the only vegetation of desert
areas, and with very little water, its
complacency in these matters may be
overtaxed, as was disastrously shown
during the first expedition to Khartum.
Two other factors in the adaptable
ity of the camel to a desert life have
to be taken into account. These are
the feet and the nostrils. The first.
named have but two toes, protected by
very thick, horny pads to resist the
burning sand; while the nostrils are
long and slitlike, and can be closed at

HOPES TO GET RID OF PEST
Italian Professor Thinks He Has
, Found Way to Exterminate the De-
/ structive Field VoIe.

A plague of field vcles having prac-
tically destroyed last summers grain
crop in the province of Foggia, south
eastern Italy, Professor Splendore has
made an interesting investigation that
points to n possible remedy. Many
of the animals were noticed to be dy-
ing and in 40 specimens sent to him
as Rome Professor Splendore found n
cocco-bacillus, evidently n new species,
that was present in the blood, inter-
nal organs and lymphatic glands. The
rapidly spreading and quickly fatal
epizootic seemed to be undoubtedly
due to this organism. Healthy voles
died in less than "a hours after sub
cutaneous inoculation from an infect
ed liver or spleen; others fed with in
fected material died in three or four
days, and in others kept near dead or
infected voles the disease developed
In few days. Mice, rats and rabbits
proved also capable of infection. The
organism was isolated from the In
testines of fieas found on an infected
vole, and it was concluded that heas
carry the infection and that IL inocu-
lated voles were suitably distributed
in n region of healthy ones the fieas
would rapidly spread an epidemic that
might free the locality from the de-
structive pest.

prizes are awarded for excellence in
scholarship. One of the prlzes-S1OO

Ceremonies intended to inculcate love
of country and devotion to duty also
