ARE YOU EFFICIENT?

mean. One of them, William Fretz
Kemble, tells in Industrial Manage

Of course every man who reads it will
first test his most important employee,
his fathers son. Watch and pad and
pencil are all that are needed to ac-
quaint yourself with your virtues and
faults. In thirty seconds answer as
many of these questions as you can:

al, an insect, reptile, fish, man,
woman, an ocean, lake, a town.

fifteen answers in thirty seconds are
rare. They should have secretaries

Second.-What is the most powerful

Perhaps love isn't but it's shorter

Third.-What is the greatest modern
discovery?
Quick, man! Radium will do.
Fourth.-What is the greatest neces-

Our secretary of commerce probably
would not answer that in less than

ABOUT INSECTS.

Why They Are Strong Out of All Pro-
portion to Size.
Recent experiments with insects have
demonstrated their remarkable mus
cular power. A wood beetle weighing
1.S6 grams and less than two inches
long can pull a little wagon loaded
with fifty-six grams, or thirty times
its own weight. When load of eighty
four grams was piled on the wag-
on the beetle pulled it an inch. This
was forty-f1ve times its own weight.
When its legs were attached to a small
dynamometer the insect exerted q
force of fifteen grams, which is as If
a man weighing 200 pounds were able
to raise a ton.
A hercules beetle proved his right
to the appellation, for, though he
weighed only 6.5 grams and was
only three inches long, he pulled 115
grams and walked of with a weight
of five pounds ON his back. If pro-
portionate weight were put on a man
he would be crushed to death.
A houseny, held by the wings and
brought close to a match, lifted 1t up
by Its feet. To perform a proportion
ate feat a man would have to lift a
beam twenty-six feet long and thirteen
inches thick.
1t Is an old story that a flea can
jump 200 times its own height in the
air. A man would have to jump over
the 1000 foot high Eifel tower to
equal the feat.
The muscles in insects are actually
much larger proportionately than in
man. Professor A. Schmidt estimates
that II an ant can pull an object of ten
times its own weight man would
equal the task If he lifted a weight
that Of his body. This
Is explicable on the basis of the far
greater muscular equipment of the ant.

MUCH WASTE IN GARDENING
Necessity May Force Americans to Adopt Economical Fertilizing
 Methods Used by Belgians.

Shortage in the supply of fertilizer is a situation of great gravity that con fronts the amateur gardener whose pa trlotic spirit is impelling him to till city lots and suburban plots. City sta bles, which formerly supplied fertill- ger to farms in the neighboring states have been turned Into garages, with tue result that manures can be ob- tained only in small quantities, if at all. To obtain the results to which their labors and their enthusiasm en- title them the back lot and suburban gardeners must husband their re- sources, abandon the wasteful Ameri- can method of enriching the soil and turn to the system that gave Belgium re-eminence in intensive farming, ac- cording to the New York Herald.
 The American method of placing fer tilizer is to spread it entirely over a plot or field. The Belgian method Is to place the fertilizer only under the spot where the plant is to grow, vast ing none of the valuable plnntfood be- tween rows or between plants. The European gardener turns over the earth, harrows or ral,es it and then digs a trench or series of holes about eight inches deep where he desires to plant a row of corn. pens or beans.
