TOTTENvILLE, Sept. 13-Al.
phonse Rudolf, eight years old, of
Poillion avenue, Annadale, was cleo
troeuted near his home about $3.50
o'clock yesterday afternoon when ne
picked up an electric light wire that
was dangling from a pole in Poillion
avenue, between Amboy road and An
nadale beach. The boy with his
brother. Walter, six years old ana
some other little ones were walking
along the road when Alphonse seeing
the wire hanging from the pole PICK
ed it up. The little fellow had no
more than touched the wire than he
uttered a scream and his body lay
writing on the ground.
Some people passing in an automo-
bile seized a log and hurled 1t at the
wire and broke 1t loose from the boys
body, but not until the wire had al
most burned the lads hand OFF from
his arm. Mary Simicia, twelve years
old, working in her ather's tomato
patch near by ran from the field and
with others made efforts to release
the body from the wire. Frank Rog-
ers, of 267 Poillion avenue, Annadale,
and Annie Liebe of Port Richmond,
were also witnesses secured by the
police that were near when the boy

TAUGHT INSECTS TO THINK
Remarkable Act Of Scientist That
Hardly Seems Worth the Time
II Must Have Taken.

John W. Coghlin has demonstrated
what patience and perseverance will
accomplish. and has also exploded the
Old-time theory that 1t was impossible
to teach insects to understand the hui
man voice and action. Some time since
he had the good fortune to discover a
hill Of Madagascar neuroptera, or
marching ants, says the Pittsburgh
Press. They were about the size Of
the common June bug and Of a dirty
brown color, and he says that they
are numerous in India and South AZ
rica-that he can account for finding
q hill Of them in Maine by being
brought there on some vessel. Mr..
Coghiin invited some of his friends to
his camp at Patterns Pond, where he
amused them by putting the neurop-
tereans las he called them) through a
course Of sprouts. The way he caused
the little army TO go through their
evolutons was a marvel to all pres
ent. Marching by twos and by tours,
over inclines and bridges made of
toothplcks, with the regularity Of
trained troops, he finally caused them
to break ranks By lighting a match
before the leaders. He says that arti-
fetal light will confuse them; there
fore they can be made to perform only
In daylight.

SHOW HOW TO DRY FOOD.

Baltimore. - Practical demonstra-
ton is the easiest way OF teaching,
and, therefore, the installation by the
United States Food Administration OF
a Dehydrating Plant at the local War
Food Bureau. II is pointed out that
the drying Of fruits and vegetables
this summer is duty Of vital import
anoe which should be undertaken by
every woman who wants to do her BIT
towards winning the war. Dried veg
etables require only a small fraction
of the storage and railway facilities
required for either fresh or canned
products The cost OF paper contain
srs is one-twentieth that of cans and
one-fifteenth that OF glass Jars.
Preserving, however, has its admir-
Srs, and the Department of Agricul-
ture is putting up in the Eastern High
School a pressure Gamer, through the
use OF which four hundred jars can
be ready for use in eight hours.
Demonstrations in both drying and
canning will be given at $50 p. NJ.
each day. The knowledge there I'M
parted should prove invaluable to all
housewives who wish to prepare
against any food shortage next
winter.

SUGAR WILL CO. ROUND
IF NONE IS WASTED

Because the supply Of sugar is not
large enough to meet the country's
normal demand and. at the same time,
build up reserve to take care Of any
emergency, the Food Administration
has set two pounds as the largest pur.
chase city householder can make at
one time except for canning or pre-
serving, when written certificate will
permit taa buying Of Is pounds In
the country, where shopping is not
so easy, the allowance is FIVE pounds
for general use and 50 pounds for
preserving. It is further stipulated
that all sugar not used In the latter
way must be returned.
There is plenty Of sugar awaiting
shipment from Cuba, but for two rea-
sons the amount reaching the United
States is variable and small Some
dealers there have been holding out
for more than a fair price. And, sec
ondly, the demand upon ship tonnage
for wheat-carriage overseas does not
leave many vessels available 10 ply
between West Indian and American
ports. Thus our supply 10 far below
normal and II is up to Us so TO ad.
just our demand that that reduced sup
ply will still go round and meet all
actual needs.
Fortunately, there are plenty Of sub
sttute sweeteners such as honey, corn
syrup, and maple syrup, which will
amply take the place Of sugar Per-
haps they will cost a little more-but
after all this war is rather an expen-
sive business Experiment with these

using the three above-named substi-
tutes instead. Most OF the members
are epicures, but they haven't sus-
pected the change As the steward
said to a Food Administration repre-
sentative, What they don't know
won't hurt them"
Hotels and restaurants, as usual, are
cooperating towards reducing the con-
sumption OF sugar. One successful
device is to keep the sugar bowl out
OF sight and serve that precious sweet
ener only on demand. The same prac-
tice is recommended by the Food Ad-
ministration to all Maryland homes.
In Canada, where the shortage Is
even greater than in the u S. A., only
two teaspoonfuls or the lump equiv
alent are permitted with one order.
II is usually served in small envelopes.
At other places two tiny cubes are
presented on a small saucer. which
certainly impresses upon the patron
the value of what he is getting. Some
times these cubes are wrapped in
paper but, in the experience Of one
restauranteur, that offered too great
a temptation for some lady patrons.

National PRAYER DAYS,

The first time the people of the Unit
ed States were called upon to observe
a day Of national prayer was May 0,
1903, by proclamation Of President
John Adams. A controversy had aris-
en- between this country and France
and all Americans were called upon
to pray for a continuation of peace.
In 1915, when the United States was
obout to make war on Algiers, Pres
ident Madison proclaimed a day Of
prayer. During the Civil war three
presidential proclamations were issued
appointing days of prayer for peace.
In 1885 the authorities called upon the
people to pray for Lincoln, and in 1881
President Arthur proclaimed q day Of
prayer to mark the burial of President
Garfield. In the autumn of 1914 Pres
ident Wilson issued his proclamation
for prayers on "Peace Sundays"

ShoVeIlnu Out Gas.

Weighing considerably more than
the atmosphere, the poisonous gases
employed In modern warfare always
seek lower levels. Thus the gas clouds
penetrate trenches and deep dugouts,
and In most cases 1t is a matter Of
many hours before they become sufii-
clently diluted with the atmosphere to
permit Of safe breathing. So the mat
ter resolves itself into a problem Of
driving the poisonous fumes out Of
the trenches and underground shelters,
or at least thinning them out until
the air is again made safe.
For this reason American soldiers
now In France literally "shovel" pol
sonous fumes out Of their trenches.
Attached to shovel is sort OF can
vas scoop or "happer" which permits
the men to heave the heavy gases over
the parapets and beat the fumes and
dissipate them In the surrounding
air.-Scientiflc American.

NEED FURNITURE IN GERMANY
Problem Of Its Supply Has Added One
More to the Troubles Of the Gov
eminent.


The German government has so far
been unable to find any substitute for
furniture, and has not yet had the
temerity to ask its subjects to follow
the example Of their Turkish allies
and sit on the floor. The result is a
scarcity that has caused secondhand
dealers to reap enormous profits.
A secondhand kitchen chair that
formerly cost about 80 cents now sells
for S.. An old bedstead' that used to
cell for IS now brings $50. Second
hand dealers have secured the country
and old tables and chairs have been
brought from cellars and garrets, but
the demand still outruns the supply
and prices already LOO per cent above
normal. threaten TO go higher.
The problem is likely to become
more acute as soon as the war ends.
Thousands Of couples that married
when the men we're called into the
nrmy will wish to establish homes of
their own. The government has pro-
vided many houses In advance, but
these will be Of little use without
furniture.
Some urge that the government
make the same rule regarding second
hand furniture as is now In force in
the old clothes trade; put the private
dealers out Of business, fix lower prices
and make It crime for anyone to sell
the secondhand articles except to the
state.
A number of capitalists and furni-
ture manufacturers have formed an
association to make new furniture and
sell II at four per cent above cost on
the instnllment plan, requiring one
third Of the purchase price as first pay
ment. The cost of new furniture, even
under this arrangement, is almost pro-
hibitive. because Of the scarcity Of ma

The public solicitation of tobacco for
the soldiers adds to the problems of
men who are attempting to develop
# boys: sas1asuiss
10 the imaginative boy every soldier
is hero. The boy wants to be hero
and his only method of attaining his
ideal is imitation. Not having reached
the years of discretion. he initiates the
bad as we'll as the good.
The use of tobacco began as an oc-
casiOnal ceremonial among an Out-Of-
doors people. 1t has become the glut-
tonOus obsession of race deteriorat-
ing for lack Of oxygen. exercise and
self control. 1t is promoted by as COM
petent an organization as was ever
built up for the purpose of exploiting
a human weakness. 1t has wormel its
way even into institutions supported
by voluntary contributions for the pur-
pose of making men and boys better
physically. mentally and spiritually.
Even cigarettes are sold over the coun-
ter i'll some buildings dedicated to bet
ter manhood. Mothers and sisters ev-
erywhere are following the example of
fathers and brothers. Shall we give
up the struggle. or still try to keep the
boy clean?
There is no reason why Il man who
becomes soldier should be shut off
from any privilege enjoyed by those
whom he is defending. He ought to
have more. if possible. But why mag
nifty his weakness in such IL way as to
make their imitation by boys Il GER
tainty?
Men who are moved 10y generous mo-
tives to raise funds to provide tobac-
co for soldiers should try to do it in
such way as to avoid injuring the
