|, afr IS thus taken under the water and enables the insect to remain for some time below the surface. They are really aerial insects. They often leave the water and fly to the cities where they are attracted to the lights. Often in thes ummer they may be seen around the electric stret lamps.
 ''The eggs of the water boatmen are attached to the submerged stems of aquatic plants, but the back swimmers insert theirs in the stems themselves. For this purpose, the fe males are provided with sharp ovi- positor with which they pierce the plant tissue.
 TO observe the curious habits of both insects it is best to place them in a convenient aquarium; a glass fruit jar or an open mouthed bottle serves well as a simple and convenient ob servation acquarium.'

"Where is the scout wha does not know the water boatmen, those beau tiful insects that, as they swim, look as if they were literally 'feathering
 their oars because their oar-like legs are covered with fine, feathery hairs ?'' asks the Scout Naturalist, Edward F.
 Bigelow, in the June issue of Boye' Life, the Boy Scout Magazine. But evsry boy does not know that there are two kinds of these insects, one the water boatmeu. the other the back swimmers. The water boatmen are mottled greenish gray and black ana swim with back uppermost
 These are small some only one-fffth of an inch long and none more than half an inch. The back swimmers have the back shaped like the bottom

MUNROE CITY ARBITER

Anne Arundel county now stands to
reap at least some benefit by way OF
reimbursement for the public schools,
and other public buildings, in the Fifth
district, situated in the former area of
the county which was taken into the
corporate limits OF Baltimore City un-
der the provisions of the Annexation
law
The exact amount OF money that will
be received by the county is to be ar
rived at through a committee of arbi-
tration, or revaluation of the properly
concerned, and II is expected that some
definite action along this line will be
taken an early date In the provisions
OF the annexation law. relating to reim-
bursting the county, it was stipulated
that one-tenth OF the amount involved
should be turned over to the County
by the Municipal authorities of Balti-
more by September l, last. and that a
like installment should be paid every
year until the claims of the county are
entirely satisfied.
James A. Walton. president OF the
Board of County Commissioners. is
one OF the committee on arbitration.
and Judge James McTrippe. of the APP
peals Tax Court. of Baltimore, has
just designated James Nj. Munroe. OF
Annapolis. as the City's representative
in conducting the revaluation of the
property in question. The appoint
ment of Mr.. Munroe was made from
among other names submitted to Judge
Trippe, by President Walton of the
County Commissioners
Discussing the question of the first
settlement OF the County's claims in
this regard, Mr.. Walton stated today
that he had long since prepared the
items of the claims by the County that
should he satisfied, and they had been
duly submitted. These claims, he said,
amount to about 100000, and as be-
fore stated. one-tenth of this amount
should have been paid over by the
first of September. Up to the present
time, however. owing to certain OBJ
stacles. the committee of arbiters has
not been convened. Since the City au-
thorities have designated MIR. Munroe
as it's representative. and with Presi-
dent Walton to look after the County's
interests, it is now expected that the
committee will get together at an early
date
