Poachers have crippled the white

spring Supt. Price secured shipment
of eight inch trout from the State Fish
Hatchery at Bonneville. placing them
in the reservoir in the city park. The
trout were placed in the reservoir to
keep it clean of mosquitoes and other
larvae that created a pollution.
On investigation the other day Mr..
Price learned that most of the fish had
been caught. Boys climb the high
fence in the night time, and dropping
hooks in the reservoir, lift out the
eager trout. Arrests may follow.

COAL PYRITE IN EXPLOSIVES
Iowa Biologists Investigate Coal Fields
for Needed Mineral, With
Excellent Results.

An investigation Of pyrite, an essen
tial material in the manufacture of
high explosives, is being made in the
coal fields of Iowa under the direction
of Dean George T. Kay of the Uni
versity of Iowa, who is director of the
Iowa geological survey. High explo-
sives are made with the aid of sui
phuric acid, which in turn is made
chiefly by roasting pyrite, popularity
known as "fool's gold" Hence the
mineral is in great demand.
For many years pyrite for acid pro-
duction has been imported from Spain,
states Doctor Kay But in order to save
the ships for more urgent uses, the
shipping board has sharply reduced the
import of pyrite. The domestic produc-
ton Of the mineral must then be I'M
usually large. he declares.
New York. Virginia, Georgia, South
Carolina and Alabama have pyrite
mines, and Illinois and several other
states are producing a small tonnage
from coal mines. Many hundred thou
sand tons are quickly available from
coal mines, says the state geologist. if
the governments explosive program re-
quires 1t.
The method of preparing coal pyrite
for shipment to acid plants is simple
and cheap. The sulphur balls" must
be separated from adhering coal, and
be crushed, washed and screened into

Words Have Hlstories.

Words are very much like people.
They all have histories behind them.
Many English words have foreign an
cestors, some French, some Latin and
some Greek grandfathers. For exam
pie:
Dynamite is the Greek for power.
Good-by Is short for God be with
you"
Marmalade is the Portuguese word,
meaning 'made from ounces" The
Portuguese word came from two Greek
words, nell melon, which meant hon
ey APPLE"
School is the Greek word for ''leis-
ure." One does not think of school as
leisure now. but In the olden times peo-
pie worked SO hard during the, day In

At least one lizard enjoys, to GER
tain degree, the power of sailing
through the air, as In the cases of fly
ing squirrels, flying frogs of Borneo,
and some other animals. These lizards
are called flying dragons and they are
of small-sized forms found in the Indo-
Malayan region. They possess elon-
gated ribs in mid series, some five to
seven pairs of them; these ribs sup
port, on either side of the body, semi
transparent membrane, 1t being
stretched over them both dorsally and
ventrally, united at the free margins,
and continuous with the general integ
ument of the body. It., or rather,
these swings" close up like a fan when
not In use, and fall to the sides Of the
animal, but when spread form a para.
chute of marked effectiveness, as by
its use this lizard can leap from the
limb of a tree and sail to another one
at certain distances as well as pha-
LANCER or a flying lemur. Sometimes
these wings" In certain species Of the
flying dragons are beautifully marked,
resembling the wing markings of some
butterfiies.-R W. Shufeldt, In Scien-

TUESDAY, AUGUST 20, 1918


In order to ascertain his authority a
Mercer county coroner has brought
suit in the courts to recover payment
OF fees for holding an inquest. The
law provides that the county physician
shall approve all coroner bills, and In
this case the doctor decided that an IN
quest was not necessary. The law also
provides that it is the duty OF a coroner
TO hold an inquest in cases that are
mentioned by the act. In the partlcu-
lar instance in Mercer county the pros
ecutor OF the pleas had made an inves-
tigation and secured sufficient evidence
to hold the driver Of an automobile
that caused an accident which resulted
fatally. It was held that the coroner s
act was entirely superiuous and en-
tailed unnecessary expense on the
county. There has been an idea pre-
valent for long time that coroners
inquests are out Of date. and are en-
tirelv useless. 1t matters not what the
jury may decide, the finding is not al
lowed to be used in evidence at trial.
Not long ago there was an accident In
this county which came properly I'M
der the law requiring coroner to act,
but that official did not see any good
reason for drawing jury, SO he enter
ed complaint and had the offending
driver Of an automobile arrested TO
await the action OF the grand jury.
Hudson and Essex counties long since
decided that coroners' inquests are not
at all necessary. and bills for such IN
vestigations are not paid by the au-
thorities OF those two counties. The
Mercer county official is seeking P de-
cision by the court to ascertain whether
he is or is not entitled to act as he did
in the case which came under his
notice. The opinion OF the court Will
settle that point in other counties.

The SLOUGH hat has for many years
been regarded In Europe as distinctive
ly American. although for as many
years 1t has been no more commonly
worn In the United States than In the
British isles, and over a considerable
part OF the continent. Nevertheless,
the typical American is almost invari.
ably pictured In soft hat, and the soft
felts worn by the soldiers of the
American expeditionary forces to
France helped to sustain the tradition.
In the Civil war the soldiers of the
North wore caps. Soft felts were
chosen for soldiers operating against
the Indians on the plains because they
were supposed to afford greater protec
ton than caps from the glare. They be-
came q regulation head covering for
the army In the Spanish-American war.
and. because they matched the khaki
uniform, they have been In use ever
since. Now. however, General Per-
shing Is said to have decided that these
hats must be discarded In favor OF
brimless and peakless caps. and the
reason for the proposed change is
characteristic of the period that has
introduced into war SO many ipnova,
lions. The rim Of the soft felt hat
throws shadow on the perIscops
used In the trenches so as to interfere
with sighting by the wearer; also.
when worn by tall men. the crown may
be seen above the parapets by the en-
my; also. gas mask can be adjusted
much more quickly over brimless and
peakless rap.
