Fireflies Have Code of
Signals and Utilize Them
to Conduct FIirtationS.

Fireflies are not flies, but beetles
Their light is emitted from three seq
ments near the tip of the abdomen
There seems to be no doubt of the fact
that 1t is provided by nature as
means for exchanging signals between
the sexes at mating time.
When darkness falls the males
emerge from their daytime hiding
places and fly about. A little later the
females climb to the tops Of blades OF
grass and remain motionless, showing
no light. A male passes by and flashes
his lamp. The female flashes back.
Instantly he turns to the spot whence
the signal came and alights. He sig
nails she replies. Thus the counting Is
accomplished.
The tropical fireflies, much larger In
size, belong to another family-that OF
the click beetles. Their glow Is con-
tinuous, not intermittent. In Cuba the
natives use them in lanterns In place
of a candle, so bright Is the light they
give, and women on festive occasions
attach them to their garments or fas-
ten them In their hair.

Gayy Decked Fiiians Do
Artistic Dance Initiating
a Tide Rising on a Reef

The F1jians are perhaps the best
dancers In the world. One Of the
most curious dances that they prac-
tice Is one representing a tide rising
on a reef. The idea to be conveyed
is that Of tide gradually rising on
reef till at length there remains
only little coral isle, round which
the angry breakers rage, fiinging
their white foam on every side. At
first the dancers form In long lines
and approach silently, to represent
the quiet advance of the waves.
After a while the lines break up
into smaller companies, which ad-
vance with outspread hands and
bodies bent forward to represent
ripping wavelets, the tiniest waves
being represented by children.
Quicker and quicker they come on,
now advancing, now retreating. yet,
like true waves, steadily progressing
and gradually closing on every side Of
the imaginary islet round which they
play or battle after the manner Of
breakers, springing high In mid-air
and flinging their arms far above their
heads to represent the action of spray.
AS they leap and toss their heads
the soft white mast or native cloth
which, for greater effect, they
wear as a turban with long stream
ers and also wear round the waist,
whence 1t floats In long scarf-like
ends-trembles and flutters In the
! breeze.
The whole effect is most artistic,
and the orchestra does Its part by i'm
itating the roar of the surf on the reef
"a sound which to them has been a
never-ceasing lullaby from the hour
of their BIRTH

Photographic Lens and the
Human Eye Are Quite Alike,

That the human eye and the photo
graphic lens are very much alike In
design and operation is well-known
fact. If you look through a photo
graphic lens you will see nothing clear
~. To perceive the image, says the
Popular Science Monthly. a piece of
ground glass or plate or film is neces-
sary. A plate is piece Of plain glass
which acts as a support for an emul-
sion. This emulsion decomposes when
struck by light, and the decomposition
is made visible by a process called de-
velopment. With an ordinary photo
graphic plate only one such impress
sion. or image, can be obtained. With
the motion-picture film. however. a
fresh piece of film is continually ex-
posed to the lens.
Just such an arrangement exists in
the human eye. An emulsion called
visual purple acts as a fllm Of great

CHAPTER XIII.



1t was January when guide from
the post brought Paul Weyman to
Henri Lofts cabin on the Waterfound.
ut Is d strange" said Henri.
II have lost seven lynx In the traps,
torn to pieces like they were no more
than rabbits that the foxes had killed.
No thing-not even bear-have ever
tackled lynx in trap before. 1t Ia
the first time 1 ever see It,"
This aroused Weyman. He was one
Of that growing number of thoughtful
men who believed that mans egoism
as a race, blinds him to many of the
more wonderful facts of creation.
There is one big wolf an one small

During the two weeks that followed

material of his book. Not a day passes

Grinding Wheels Must Do
The Very Finest of Work.

Grinding wheels have fine work to
do, writes Ellwood Hendrick in the
Scientific American. Limits of irregu-
larity as low as 00005 inches and o.
OOO24 inches are often given. And 1t
should be remembered that when o.
00O25 of an inch Is being ground, the
heavy slide that carries the wheel and
wheel spindles moves forward only
half that distance.
If a piece of tissue paper were split
twelve times consecutively, 1t would
have the thickness under which these
machines have constantly to work.
And yet, when we consider the
forces present In wheel weighing 200
pounds rotating at a speed Of 1900
revolutions per minute, we are not re-
minded of a watchmaker's lathe, de-
spite the exquisite precision of the op-

continued to travel all that night. With
dawn they struck a narrow swamp
along the edge of the stream Here
beavers had built q dam, and they
were able to cross over into the green
country on the opposite side. For an
other day and another night they trav-
eled westward, and this brought them
into the thick country Of swamp and
timber along the Waterfound.
And as Kazan and Gray Wolf came
from the West, there came from the
Hudson's bay post to the East a slim
dark-faced French half-breed by the
name of Henri Lott, the most famous
lynx hunter In all the Hudson's bay
country.
And up from the South, at this same
time, there was slowly working his
way by canoe and trail young uni
versity zoologist who was gathering
material for a book on 1.-The Reason
ing Of the Wild" His name was Paul
Weyman, and he made arrangements
to spend a part Of the winter with
Henri Lott, the half-breed. He brought
with him plenty Of paper, a camera
and the photograph Of girl. His only
weapon was pocketknife.
And meanwhile Kazan and Gray
Wolf found the home they were seek.
| ing In a thick swamp five or six miles
from the cabin that Henri Lott had
built.

TO THE HOME GIRL
BY Edgar Rice Burroughs.

You have laid down your knitting to
read the paper. The chances are
flfty-five or better that you are knit
ting a sweater that won't fit or scarf
that is too narrow or too wide, for
some soldier or sailor, and the other
end of the bet-and 1t may be the
safer ends that you are knitting
mustard-c olored sweater for yourself.
The boys need sweaters and scarfs,
and more still they need something
that you can give them-and not In
terfere with your knitting. They need
association with the sort of girl you
are-the good girl the home girl-the
sort of girl they went to see on beau
night" back in Syracuse, or Escanaba,
or Nampa, or Hermosa.
There are soldiers passing through
your home town, or, may be, there Is
great cantonment near you. What are
you doing for these boys that knit
ting machine couldn't do? They are
the same kind of boys that you have
always known-they are the best boys,
the cleanest boys that the country has
produced.
You can give them something in
finitely- finer than sweater-some-
thing that will warm them more than
a scarf. You can give them a mem
DRY Of virtue, and character, and pa
triotism to take to France with them
that will represent an ideal to them
an ideal of home, mother. sister, and
sweetheart, of all that personifies
country, of all of which the flag is
the emblem-an ideal to fight for, to
die for. You can give them this II
you will open your home to them, II
you will place In your window some
sign that will say to them that any
man In the uniform Of our country is
welcome there.
Many Of these boys have never be-
fore been away from home. They are
homesick. They are worked hard five
and a half days week and then they
go to town on leave BY that time
they are ready for anything that will
help them forget their inconsistencies
Here is where you can help.
There are girls who meet them or
the street corners little fools who
mean no harm and do lot Of it
and there are other girls, who live I'M
der the red light, and serve, unwit
tingly, the kaiser.
From these two classes you car
protect the boy who has gone away
from his home to learn to fight fol
you and your home. II bad woman
may hang a sign in her window to lure
men to deslru elton, 1t is your duty t.
display an emblem upon your home
that will offer these men the home life
which is the only antidote for the
inconsistencies which drives them t.
purchase evil companionship.

wolves. and Weyman observed that
as Henri had told him-the footprints
were always two by two, and never
one by one. On the third day they
came to a trap that had held a lynx,
and at sight of what remained Henri
cursed in both French and English
until he was purple In the face. The
lynx had been torn until its pelt waa
practically worthless.
Weyman saw where the smaller wolf
had waited on its launches, while its
companion had killed the lynx. he
did not tell Henri all he thought. But
the days that followed convinced him
more and more that he had found the
most dramatic exempllfication Of his
theory. Back of this mysterious trag.
edy of the trap-line there was a rea.
son.
Why did the two wolves not destroy
the fisher-cat, the ermine and the mar
ten? Why was their feud with the
lynx alone2
Weyrnan was strangely thrilled. He
was a lover Of wild things, and for
that reason he never carried gun
And when he saw Henri placing poison
bats for the two marauders. he shud.
dered, and when, day after day. he
saw that these poison bats were un'

own nature went out in sympathy to
