The Use of Candy.

Pure candy is good for children. Pure
sugar is good for grown people. OF
course there are exceptions to every
rule. If the doctor prescribes a diet
and orders a patient to refrain from
sweets the patient is bound to obey
his adviser. What is the use Of calling
a physician and paying him for sug-
gestions If the latter are treated with
Indifference? People in ordinary health
need not be afraid to crafty an appe
tite which Graves sweets. Those who
have looked into the matter have been
,telling US lately that soldiers on the
march hold out better if they have
ratiOns Of sugar than if their food
omits this useful commodity. A fond
ness for sugar is often a defense
against the temptation to use alcoholic
stimulants. The inebriate does not care
very much about pure sweets.

of mischief to gardens. Big game
is now being protected, many breed
ing grounds of birds of plumage and
water fowl are "sanctuaries" set
aside by law for this purpose and
adequately guarded. 1t is estimated
that seven hundred million dollars

through the ravages of harmfuf IN

TESTING s SUBMARINES.
lt 10 an Easier Task Now Than IL Was
a Few Years Aoo.

Vessels built to navigate under wa
ter require particular care in their
construction, for when they are sub
merged they have to Withstand the
pressure Of water from all sides with
out showing the slightest leak.
The newest submarines must be able
to sink to depth Of $50 feet or more.
At such a depth the pressure is ire
mendous, and If the joints are not per-
feet water squirts in as though through
a hose pipe. Ten years ago testing
new submarine was a dangerous job.
She might not be watertight. Her bal
ance might not be perfect, or, again,
the air system might not be equal to
blowing out the water from her tanks
Terrible accidents have occurred In
testing new under water boats during
actual submergence, but today all that
is a thing of the past. A testing dock
Is used, which was invented by an
Italian engineer, Major laurent. 1t

marine is f1oated A caisson at the

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

Fumes With Which 6ombardiers Keep
Their Enemies at Bay.
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 at bay.
A typical species known as Brachi-
nus crepitans is largely attacked by
certain ground beetles. These ground
beetles are very active and can easily
overtake the bombardiers. Just as they
get within reach, however, a very
strange thing happens. The bombar-
der has the power Of ejecting a pecul-
lar liquid, which, when it comes into
contact with the atmosphere, bursts
into a sort of pale green flame. This is
Immediately followed by a kind OF
smoke.
Now, this smoke has remarkable
effect upon the pursuer. No sooner do
the fumes come into contact with the
ground beetle than the creature is
blinded and stupefled. A strange pa
ralysis overtakes the insect, and 1t
seems unable to move any farther.
Quite while elapses before the ground
beetle RECEIVERS. In the meantime the
bombardier makes good his escape

CLAWS OF THE CANARY.
They Should 30 Carefully Trimmed
Every Few Months.


As a canary grows old it will be no.
ticed that its claws get long and catch
on the perches and wires Is it hops
about the cage. In state OF nature
the activity of the bird as 1t moves
about on the ground or among tw1gs
and limbs keeps the claws properly
worn down. Confined in a cage, the
canary is less active. and, while the
rate of growth of the claws remains
the same, they are subject to much less
abrasion.
1t is necessary therefore to trim them
with pair of sharp scissors every few
months. 1t is important to watch the
condition of the claws carefully. as by
catching they may cause broken leg.
In each claw q slender blood vessel ex-
tends we'll down toward the tip. This
may be seen on close examination
through the transparent sheath Of the
claw. In trimming cut well beyond
this canal and take special care not to
break the leg while handling the bird.
In cage birds the horny covering of
the bill as well as the claws sometimes
becomes distorted through growth with
out sufficient wear. The tips of the
mandibles may be pared down with a
sharp knife, but care must be taken
not to cut deep enough to reach the
quick.-United States Department Of

LIFE or THE WoRLD.
Traditions That It Will Last Only
5000 Years.

There is a general and widespread
notion, which the curious investigator
will find scattered throughout both
medieval and modern literature, that
the world will last 5000 years from the
date of it's creation. An inscription in
oAe of Martin Luther's books reads as
follows: elijah, the prophet, said that
the world had existed 1000 years be-
fore the law was given (from Adam to
Moses, would exist 1900 years under
the Mosaic law from Moses to CHRISTI
and 1000 years under the Christian
dispensation, and then it would be
burned"
In the Etrurian account of the crea-
ton by Suidas) there is a similar ira
dition, 1.-The Creator spent 5000 years
in creation, and 5000 more are allotted
to the EARTH"
In the black letter edition of Foxes
Acts and Monuments" 1892 there is
a whole sermon given with the 5000
year limit of the earth's duration as a
text.
Some writer's contend that the "six
days" referred to in Holy Writ really
mean 5000 years and that the Seventh
day" is a type of the coming millen-
mum, or sabbath Of a thousand
years."
The psalmist says, For thousand
years are in thy sight as yesterday

When the flag is displayed at halt
STAFF for mourning it is to be lowered
to that position from the top OF the
staff. 1t is afterward hoisted to the

When the flag is formally raised all

other flags fly together or are USED H.

should be on the right.
When used on a bier or casket at

It Is an unwritten law In the navy
that the flag is never to be washed; Il

Maryland's Second Campaign For
Naval Recruits.

Maryland's second campaign for
Navy recruits is progressing salts
factorily, though not with the degree
of intensity that marked the recent
drive" when 500 were enlisted
from this State in response to the
Presidents first call for volunteers.
Lieutenant P. L. Wilson, who con-
Quoted the recent drive" and in
augurated plans for the second cam
paign, has been detached from the
Maryland recruiting district and as
signed to other duties under conf
Dental orders. The Maryland dis
trict is now under the command of
Lieutenant (Junior Grade) M. A.
Leahy, Retired. Mr.. Leahy was
called back into active service at the
outbreak of the war and assisted
Lieutenant P. l.. Wilson before the
latter was detached for other duties.
During the week ending June 7th,
70 young men were enlisted at the
Navy Recruiting Station, Calvert and
Lexington Streets, Baltimore. These
recruits came from all over the
State, large number of them hav-
ing been sent from the Sub-stations
at Cumberland and Hagerstown.
The Maryland recruiting authori-
ties for the Navy continue to point
out to the young men of the State
the excellent advantages offered in
the Naval service of the country.
Only few days ago it was learned
that two of the young men enlisted
in the drive" for 500 from Mary
land, have been promoted to the
petty officer class, an unusually
rapid promotion, showing what
young men going into the Navy at
this time can expect.
Minors desiring to enlist must OBJ
tain the written consent of their
parents, or legal guardian, and i'll
order that this may be properly
done, forms have been prepared for
this purpose by the Navy Depart
ment. These forms and full partic.
ulars of Navy enlistments can be OBJ
tanned from the nearest postmaster;
directly from the Navy Recruiting
Station, Calvert and Lexington
Streets, Baltimore, or from the Navy
Recruiting Sub-stations at Cumber-
land and Hagerstown.
