Eucalyptus and Malaria.

"What is the connection between
the eucalyptus and the disappearance
Of the malarial trouble1 This has been
only very recently explained. There
is probably no tree having a greater
avidity for water than the eucalyptus.
Experiments with seedlings grown In
water have shown that a baby blue
gum will take up the liquid at an ex-
'tremely rapid rnte. AS the blue-gums
grow at a marvellous rate (often as
much as ten or twelve feet is added
to their height In q single SEASON.,
the consumption of moisture from the
soil goes on at rapidly increasing
rate. Now, II Is well-known that the
malarial poison is introduced into the
blood Of man through the agency Of q
certain variety of mosquito (Ano-
pheles), and the dwelling place Of
these insects, when In the larval stage,
is to be found In pools of water. With
the planting Of the eucalyptus trees
the pools disappear and the marshy
land becomes comparatively dry. Thus
the breeding places Of the mosquitoes
are destroyed and the insects are no
longer able to carry on their pernicious
activities."-S. Leonard Bastin, In St.
Nicholas.

SOME OF THE INNS OF COURT
Grays Produced Fewer Great Lawyers
but Can Guido Rivals In Assecia-
tion With influential Men.

Gray's inn, where the prime minister
and the heads Of the air service take
a snack together In the evening, comes
down to US through the Grays Of Will
ton, whose home or inn 1t anciently
was, from the bishop and canons Of st.
Paurs cathedral. The inn itself, bear
ing the family name, formed part Of
the Hundred OF Ossulstone, and the
whole was included In a yet larger
property, states writer in the London
Chronicle. How st. PauPs Itself be-
came possessed of the estate is not
clear, but 1t Is believed that 1t was at
one time the personal property Of one
of the canons, who, 1t was enacted,
might give and sell their lands with
out leave.
Gray's inn has produced fewer great
lawyers than some Of the other inns
Of court, but 1t can Guido its rivals in
association with men who have vitality
Influenced the life of the nation
Thomas Cromwell, for instance, who
suppressed the monasteries; Lord
Burghley, chief counselor Of Queen
Elizabeth. and George Monck, duke of
Albemarle, who practically restored the
monarchy. But the inns chief glory,
Of course, is with the Bacons, Nicholas
and his far greater son, Francis, whose
mark remains till this day on the inn
gardens. 20

Early Use Of Metals.

As compared with Mexico, the tools
employed by the ancient Easter island
ers, though like in shape, are yet more
wonderful when the purpose for which
they were used is considered. II Is
believed that the use of iron was I'M
known to the more ancient people of
the earth; certainly few traces are
found. But among the MeXicans there
Is evidence of red copper having been
fashioned Into tools; and although that
is wonderful enough when the usage is
seen to which the comparatively soft
metal was put, yet still more marvel
Gus are the tools Of volcanic glass
which wrought, carved, cut and CHS
.eled the huge images and blocks of
stone to be found on Easter island. Re-
mains OF these tools are yet to be found
lying about the island quarries.

An Isolated Island.

The last and most isolated Of the
Polynesians is Easter island. 1t lies
1000 miles westward Of the coast OF
Chile, Its nearest neighbor being Pit
cairn island, 1,4OO miles further west.
1t is small, only As square miles in
area, and volcanic, the surface being
formed of lava of comparatively re-
cent eruption. Hence the strange lack
of vegetation so curiously at yar-
ance with a tropical climate. Grass
grows on it, however, and 1t is for that
reason largely given up to the raising
Of sheep and cattle.
Easter island was discovered nearly
two hundred years ago by the Dutch
Admiral Roggeveen, who cast anchor
there on an Easter Sunday, whence it
derived its name. He found 1t more
largely populated than 1t is now. But
he and his crew must have seen and
marveled at Its bold rock-sculpture, its
terraces and walls, its picture writ
ings. Many Of these, indeed, rival the
world-famous relics Of Mexico and
Peru, while they are strangely akin to
them In conception and design.

When a Child "FaiIs."

When a child fails in school, must
it always be the fault of the child? May
1t not be the faults of his parents? Or
of the school which he attends? Inves-
legations have shown that there Is a
host of children whose mental slug
gishness Is due to physical causes, DIR.
M. P. f. Groszmann writes in HUI
manltarian. Even conservative esti-
mates place the percentage of children
suffering from some physical ailment
at rs; this means about 100000 chill
dren of school age in this country. AL
most all Of these ailments are remov-
able, even preventable. They range
from decayed and maladjusted teeth
with their manifold sad effects upon
the efficiency and the temper of the
growing child to such serious defects
as nervous disorders, tuberculosis,
blindness, etc.

MEANING OF SHIP TOElAGE
Several Different Uses of Term, APP
piled as Occasion Demands, Arc
Cited by National Authority.

The different uses Of tonnage terms
when speaking of ships are causes OF
confusion to the lay mind. Why ships
cannot be really compared according
to tonnage is explained by Cart. G. A.
McAllister, engineer in chief, United
States coast guard, In an article In
Popular Science Monthly. For example,
he states, steamship companies, In or
der to impress relative safety of their
craft, will advertise the sailing OF
certain steamer of 10000 tons. mean
Ing, Of course, gross tons. The COM
pany's agent, in entering 1t at the Gus
tom house. will take precaution to GER
tify' that she is only 1870 tons, when
paying tonnage taxes. He then Is re-
ferring to her net tonnage, and In fact
that standard is used only when pay
ing dues or taxes.
Displacement tonnage Is almost e1-
clusively applied to warships, as they
do not carry cargoes. Strange to say,
the tonnage of battleship varies al
most hourly, as coal or other weighty
objects are used or taken on board.
The tonnage of warships Is, however,
fixed; they are referred to in terms Of
the fixed tonnage.
statement that a 10,0O0-ton battle
ship sank 10,000-ton merchant ship
does not mean that the ships were OF
equal size. The merchant ship would
be much larger, owing to the different
meanings of the term 'ton," as applied
to the two types of vessels. 1t Is abso- |
lutely impossible to give rules for the
relation of these terms, as the condi- |
lions vary too greatly. Generally speak
ing, the gross tonnage Of ship Is from
80 to 100 per cent greater than the net
tonnage.

ONLY SECURITY FOR A WIFE
pendence to the Woman Under the
Code Of Hammurabl.

In Babylon, under the code Of Ham,
,murabi, 2270 B. c.. the birth Of chill
dren furnished the only financial Sc
curity for wife. man might sepa-
rate from a wife at will and marry
another but If she had borne him chill
dren he must give back to that wom-
an her dowry, the usufruct Of the field,
garden and property, during the minor
ity Of her children and thereafter she
was entitled to a share equal to that
Of son Of all that has been given to
her children. She may marry the man
of her choice"
Under the primitive laws Of the Ka-
frs Of South Africa similar provision
Is made, according to writer. A con-
siderable payment Is made by the hus-
band to the male relatives Of the wom-
an at the time Of marriage. In legal
theory this amount Is the property Of
the woman and her children, the rela-
tives receiving 1t as trustees for her
benefit. Here, too, man may divorce
his wife at will and may demand back
his dowry II there have been no chill
dren born Of the marriage, but his
claim upon 1t passes upon the birth Of
children. Obviously. where the status
of the wife is entirely subject to the
will of the husband and where the
woman has an enforcible claim against
this property while 1t remains In the
hands Of her relatives, the birth Of
children furnishes the only assurance
Of security and independence for the
wife.

Weapons of the PeruvIana.

The early Peruvians used clubs and
war-hatchets in battle; also sings, for
throwing stones. Skull-fractures must
often have resulted. But apparently
they trephined also for brain troubles,
and possibly for other diseases, notes
a medical authority. The surgeon Of
ancient Peru held the head of his pa
tIent between his knees, and with a
sharp flint sawed out the button Of
bone-an agonizing process, surely.
Sometimes he filed the hole with a
button Of silver, or of mollusk-shell,
but more often he was content to cover
1t simply with the nap of scalp.

DELAWARE FARM LABOR BUREAU

The following is a typical illustration
Of the way in which the Delaware Farm
Labor Bureau works to supply help to
the farmers Of the state:
Mr.. S. H. Green, OF wyoming, Della
ware, is right in the midst Of corn plant
ing when one Of his hired men is drafted.
Immediately he thinks Of a card which
he has received a few days before from
the Delaware Farm Labor Bureau, which
was to be filed out by him in case he
needed help. After searching around he
finds the card and hns u out, indicating
the kind Of help which he wants, the
time he wants It, and the wages he will
pay II the man is satisfactory. He
mails this card in an envelope, which re-
gnlres no postage, 20 his county agent,
Mr.. zlmmerley. at Dover. Mr.. zimmer-
ley notes the request and Immediately
forwards It to Mr.. Ryan, the secretary
Of the Delaware Farm Labor Bureau at
the Wilmington office. Mr.. Ryan con-
suits his file and finds that the q. S.
Employment Service has three men in
the office that particular morning who
are looking for farm work. He calls the
men in and looks them over and picks
out one Of them. He tells the man to
take the 3;45 Delaware Road. train for
Wyoming and then he calls up Mr.. Green
by telephone and tells him that he has
sent man who will reach Wyoming at
$3.50 O'Clock that evening and requests
him to meet the man at the station.
