Evolution Of the Butterfly From Hide
eus Worm to Beauty Matter Of
Only Short Time.

The butterfly POLITICALLY lives on the
nectar Of flowers. Just as a person
changes his tastes as he becomes more
refined SO does that lovely creature Of
the air adopt different menu when
he dons his wings. Take, for In
stance, the mourning cloak butterfly.
sometimes called the Camberwell
Beauty; in his original state he is hid
eous, even for a worm, black, covered
with white spots and stiff tufts Of hair.
He Is an object to make women
scream and to be avoided by every
body who does not know what he Is
going to be later on. In this condi-
ton he crunches leaves greedily and
Is a veritable glutton until the time
comes for him to hang himself up by
the tail and await developments. Then,
behold, he comes out some fine morn
ing creature Of great splendor. Three
inches does he measure from tip
to tip Of his seal-brown velvet wings
which are handsomely bordered
with yellow and ornamented with pur-
pie spots edged with black. Newly
born and innocent as he Is nature al
ready has given him the instinct to
protect himself. not by fighting but by
strategy. He can feign death with
the success Of an opossum playing
the same game, and this he does when
fearing an attack from a bird, for he
knows, somehow, that his foe cares
only for living prey. So the butter
fly skins about through the air sip
ping the sweets Of the flowers, kissing
the rose and the carnation, no longer
In danger of encounters with paris
green and finding the world paradise.

-IRsT TO MAKE STEEL PENS
Before Samuel SIocum's Invention
These Articles Sold at 50 q
Dozen Wholesale.

The first machine for the manufac-
ture of pens was the invention of an
American, Samuel Slocum, who was
born 127 years ago. AS a result OF
his invention steel pens, although made
by hand long before. came into general
use and soon displaced the quill. Be-
fore SlOcum's machine began turning
out pens In large quantities steel pens
sold at wholesale for about So dozen,
but by 1880, thanks to the improved
process of manufacture, the price was
reduced to about Is cents dozen, an
exchange states. The ancient Egyp-
tians used brush or reed pen in writ
ing on the delicate membrane obtained
by enrolling the stem Of the papyrus,
a water plant once abundant along the
Nile. The ancient Greeks and Romans
also used a reed cut to a point sim
liar to the modern pen. In the mid
die ages a metal stylus was used to
write on wood coated with wax. Quilts
were first used as pens In the fifth or
sixth century and their use became
general. Iron pens" were made as
early as 1885, but the quill held its
vogue until the invention Of machinery
for pen making placed pens within the
reach OF all.

Sugar From the Garden.

Gardeners who cannot raise sugar
cane may be interested in the follow.
Ing description, which appears in
Chambers Journal, of the process Of
extracting sugar from beets. The anna
teur must exercise great care in har.
vestIng the roots that the tender skin
be not broken. The first operation is
to remove all dirt by washing, after
which the beets are boiled In water
until the skin peels of easily. They
are next cut into thin slices, placed
In pan, just covered with water,
brought to a boil once more and then
left to simmer for ten hours. The re-
sultlng pulp is put into muslin bag
and squeezed until all the juice is ex-
tracted. The juice Is boiled down to
very thick strip that makes a good
substitute for commercial sugar. As
the strip will not keep for more than a
few weeks, 1t is advisable to make
only u small supply at a time. The
roots, however, can be stored for 4
long period without deterloratlng II
they are kept dry and free from frost.

SILVER is KING IN ARIZONA
Old and New Mines Are Being Opened
After Peace Brought Slump
In Copper.

Silver is king again in Arizona, says
G. P. Reiniger, president Of the AS
ISOLATION of Arizona Mining Men, ac'
cording to the Philadelphia Ledger's
Phoenix correspondent. With the cop
per market stagnant as result of the
cessation of war requirements, the de-
mands for white metal are pouring In
from all quarters of the globe. Many
of the producers are replacing their
copper handling equipment with
plants to turn out silver.
There is a big demand for silver
in China and India" says George D.
Bethune of Globe. 1.-THE United States
government is filling it at 81 an ounce,
the same price at which 1t Is supplying
2OO,OO0,O00 ounces Of the metal to the
British government on contract"
Years ago, when Tombstone was at
the height of its fame. Arizona was
great silver producer. Then came the
slump. Copper was discovered. Last
year, according to the estimate of the
United States geological survey, Ari-
IONA produced S192,OO0,000 worth Of
copper. "Give US "copper" was the
cry from the United States and the
allies.
With the armlstIce conditions
changed overnight One billion pounds
Of copper, more than a third Of which
was Arizona production, are estimated
to be awaiting sale. So copper Is
down and silver is up.
Surveys of the state indicate that in
the Prescott and Tucson mines silver
predOminates over the other metals /;
In Bisbee, Jerome, Globe and Ajo Its
values as a by-prOduct run heavily.
From the neighbOrhOod Of Prescott
come reports of the revival Of old sill
yer mines. Battle Flat, scene Of a
sanguinary Indian fight in the seven
ties, Is reported to have yielded new
discoveries Of silver, and two fresh
camps have been opened on this spur
of the northern slope Of the Brad
| shaws.

Find Moth Exterminator.

Experiments of the bureau of ento-
mology, United States department of
agriculture, have demonstrated that
naphthalene is uniformly effective In
protecting woolens from clothes moth
infection and in killing all stages Of
the insect. A red cedar chest readily
killed all adult moths and showed con-
siderable killing effect upon young
larvae. 1t did not prevent the hatch
ing of eggs, but killed all the result
ing larvae almost Immediately. Red
cedar chips and shavings, while not en-
tirely effective in keeping the adult
moths from laying eggs on the flannel
treated, appeared to protect 1t from
appreciable damage when used lib

quoted in The Wireless Age, says:
Radio communication is the coming

Eve Drill for FLYERS,

The royal air force of England has
instituted an eye drill that has made
many splendid pilots out of men who
would otherwise have been useless. 1t
was discovered that large percentage
of men only use one eye at time, and
in the early days pilots were not test
ed for eye balance. Many men were
then passed into the air service who
could never land correctly. When these
deficiencies were discovered school
was formed and under an eye special
list twice a day airmen undergoing the
cure were paraded for eye drill and
taught how to use both their eyes at
the same time. The result was that %
per cent of the men who would have
been bad pilots became good ones in
a little while.

COMMISSIONERS REPORT.
Every Monday at Hotel Cottonwood

Commissioner of Law En-

the contraband had been seized
for violation of the prohibition
laws. Many arrests were made

L---1a D, uuCRT I-OJSE
The board of county commits
sioners met in regular July ses-
sion in the courthouse in
Grangeville Monday. Bills were
8 allowed and routine business
transacted. On Thursday the
board began consideration of the
remodeling of the old school
building, purchased by the
county last April, for a court
house.
The school building, several
years ago abandoned by the
school board for school purposes
and later used as an armory, and
subsequently as a hospital, was
purchased by the board of
county commissioners last April
for $4,000. At that time the,
board took no action on the mat
ter of remodeling the building.
Last April, however, it was esti-
mated by the board that, with
the expenditure of few thous-
and dollars additional, the build
ing rould be made suitable as a
seat of county government for
years to come.
The memorial to Idaho county
soldiers and sailors slain in the
great war will be erected on the
grounds lately acquired by the
county. Whether the memorial
will be in the form of a wing to
the courthouse, or a monument
to be erected in front of the
building, has not been decided.
Plans for arrangement of
county offices in the old school
building have been prepared, and
will be laid before the commits
sioners. Plans call for offices
on the main floor, on either side
Of the corridor, and for offices
and court room and chambers
on the second floor. A room for
witnesses also will be provided,
according to the plans as pre-
pared. The courthouse will be
provided with all modern con-
veniences. The interior will be
generally rearranged, and fire
proof vaults for preservation of
county records will be installed.
What disposition will be made
of the present courthouse, has
not been determined. The build
ing, erected in 1904 by the city
of Grangeville, is occupied under
99-year lease by the county Off
ces. The annual rental is 81 a
year, but county records do not
disclose that this rental has been
paid in recent years.
Under the terms of the lease,
the county still has an 84-year
lease on the building, but it is
likely that, when the remodeling
OF the school building is complet-
ed, and the county offices have
been removed to that structure,
the county will permit the lease
to lapse, and the present court
house will be on the hands of the
city.
1t has been suggested that the
court room be refloored and used
as dance hall and for other
public pulpOSCS.-Free Press.
