Rat Skins Make Leather
Suitable for Some Kinds
of Gloves and MittenS

There is not enough leather to go
round. Fish skins are susceptible of
tanning, and there are rat skins
which make good leather, large
enough for many purposes. They
would do for some kinds of gloves
and mittens, says the Little Journal.
They may be sewed together to make
cloaks and other garments, and they
are not too small to be available for
parts of boots and shoes. The gen.
eral rule as to leather is that the
thicker the fur is the poorer the hide
and vice versa. According to this,
rat hide would produce superior
leather.
Somebody with the gift of guessing
computes that there are 100,O00,000
rats In this country, and the damage
they do would feed a good sized
army. 1t would take at least 5000
skins day to supply small modern
tannery. Nobody wants the rats
they belong to anybody that can
catch them. That is the only prob
lem-to catch them and skin them,
and then deliver the goods.

Abdications in Germany

278 of Royal Families

A German professor figures out that
the abdication and dethronements in
Germany include 278 persons. Ba-
varia leads. with one king, one queen,
Is princes, 16 princesses, five dukes
and one duchess. Prussia has sent
80 royalties into exile, including the
emperor, the empress, 20 princes and
II Processes. Brunswick is at the
bottom of the list. with only the ducal
couple and their three children. The
two tiny prinGpalities of Reuss, whose
area is hardly one-three hundredths
part of that Of Prussia, have exiled
SO royalties.
The principality Of Lippe, only
about 20 square miles larger than the
Reuss states, had royal family num-
bering "a persons. Most extraordi-
nary is the case Of Schaumberg-Lippe,
with its area of $50 square miles,
where there was nearly one royal per-
sonage for every five square miles.
These included the reigning prince,
seventeen princes and seven prin-
cesses.

For many weeks Cy De Vry, super
intendent of the Lincoln Park Zoo at
Chicago, watched with utmost con-
Germ the ravages of melanchOlia upon

mona, the brunette alligator, who
some time since was bereft Of her

They were inseparable and had
achieved a oneness of concord rarely
encountered In the domestic domain.
The unalloyed bliss they enjoyed was
manifest to ALL It was natural that
with the visit Of the grim reaper the
weaker vessel. deprived at one fell
stroke of prop and stay. should mourn
deeply.
But De Vry thought time would as
suage her grief. In this he was In
error. After a consultation he de-
cided that but one hope remained-to
obtain a new husband.

THE WORSHIP OF NATURE

The harp at Natures advent strung
Has never ceased to play;
The song the stars OF morning sung
Has never died away.
And prayer is made and praise Is given,
By all things near and far;
The ocean looketh up to heaven,
And mirrors every star.
Its waves are kneeling on the strand,
AS kneels the human knee,
Their white locks bowling to the sand,
The priesthood of the sea!
They pour their gIittering treasures forth,
Their gifts of pearl they bring,
And ali the listening hills of earth
Take up the song they sing.
The green earth sends her incense up
From many q mountain shrine;
From folded leaf and dewy cup
She pours her, sacred wine.
The mists above the morning rills
Rise white as wings of prayer;
The altar curtains of the hills
Are sunsets purple air.
The winds with hymns OF praise are loud,
Or low with sobs of pain
The thunder-organ OF the cloud,
The dropping tears of rain.
With dropping head and branches crossed
The twilight forest grieves,
Or speaks with tongues Of Pentecost
From all its sunllt leaves
The blue sky Ii the temples arch,
Its transept earth and air,
The music of its starry march
oh ~
So Nature keeps the reverent frame
With which her years began,
And all her signs and voices shame
The prayerless heart of man.

insects Cause a Billion
Dollar Loss Yearly, Says
Agricultural Department

Destructive insects in the United
States have a food bill of $1,0O00OO.-
900 annually, according to department
of agriculture figures. That amount is
lost each year because of insect dep
relations on various farm crops and
fruits. In addition to this, there is
large loss to live stock from such
pests as biting flies, parasitic flies,
ticks, mites and so forth.
In 1916 destructive insects caused
a loss of $430.204,30O in cereal crops
and were responsible for a loss of
SIG, 23O500 in hay crops. The insect
damage to the tobacco crops was &c.,
900,S00 and in vegetables $199,412,-
600. They caused a loss of $8,436,-
500 in sugar crops and loss of $141,-
264, 800 in fruit. The loss caused by
them in all other crops was $29,649,-
700.
1t has been found that vegetable
and fruit crops suffer most heavily
from the ravages of insects and a 20
per cent loss in vegetable crops and a
80 per cent loss in fruit crops is prob
ably minimum figure for these two.
A further study of this question has
revealed the fact that in 1916 the
chinch bug alone was responsible for
loss of $60,OOO,OOO. The grasshop-
per caused loss of $50,000,000 and
the Hessian fly was charged with be-
ing responsible for $40,OO0,O00 slump
In addition to the direct losses in
growing crops, forests and live stock
insects are responsible for depreda.
lions on stored grain. other farm prod.
ucts and household supplies. All
these have brought the total annual
loss from insects in the United States
up to $1.OO0,O00,OOO.

| is tremendous antagonist. Wound
ed, he is a terror. A grizzly mother
| with a cub is as dangerous an ami
NAL as walks the earth.
The grizzly can be killed with
single bullet-if that bullet is placed
right. Otherwise the contents of a
modern high-power magazine rife will
not check a charging grizzly. The
brain. the spine and the upper part OF
the heart are the vital spots. A west
ern man-his name is purposely omit
ted-once killed three full-grown griz-
lilies in about 80 seconds with three
shots; he doesn't dare print the story.
One most interesting feature about
the grizzly is his individuality. Griz-
lilies seem to be even more individual
than men. For example, there Is the
career of "Old Nose" which is Colo
RADIO classic.
| Old Nose first appeared in the lime
light about 1862 His territory was
the region around Black Mountain ;
it lay on top of the Continental Di-
vide and was about 60 miles in diane
ter. Two toes missing on his left
hind paw made it easy to keep track
of him. Old Nose quickly became
an expert killer of cattle. sheep, horses
and hogs. Once he had learned the
taste of beef, mutton and pork, he lost
all desire for ants, grasshoppers and
flower roots. Toward the close of his
career he was followed at respect
full distance by large cinnamon
bear which fed on the remnants of
his carcasses.
A heavy price was put on the head
of Old Nose. Trappers and hunters
of known skill made business of try
ing to win the reward. All attempts
to trap him failed. Poison was tried
In vain. Three hunters got close
i enough to him to meet death.
Old Nose seemed to have keen
sense of humor. After he had been
hunted for many years he developed a
habit of sneaking up on the camp Of
campers and prospectors. Then he
would rush the camp. roaring and
seeming bent on killing everybody in
| sight. There is no record that he ever
attacked anyone at such times. But
! the stampedes he caused were many
and ludicrous. Undoubtedly he en-
joyed them.
This sort of thing went on for 35
years. Old Nose during that time
killed more than 500 cattle, to say
nothing of colts and ether live stock.
He killed at least five men. Though
forty or more years Of age, his fur
was glossy, his teeth were sound, his
bodily powers were undiminished and
he was more cunning than ever.
Finally, in April, 1904, a hunter with
pack of first-class bear dogs man.
aged to get him cornered. Old Nose
turned at bay for the last time. It
took eight shots to kill this tremen-
dous old grizzly.
