DIDN'T KNOW CURLING IRON
Easy to Understand That Youthful
Member of Chicago Jury Was Not
Married Man.

Every man knows what a curling
iron is, but does every man know
whether or not curling iron is a
deadly weapon?
The question was raised in Judge
Gucrin's court in Chicago recently in
the Otto Mathis murder trial. Otto
said he stabbed his brother, Edward
when Edward attacked him with a
curling iron, which he thought dan
gerous weapon. The judge ruled a de-
scriptiOn of the implement was unnec-
essary, as everybody knew what it
was.
''Sure, I know" one spectator whis-
pered to another. "a curling iron is
one of those hot things that burn your
fingers when you are fumbling around
among the things on your wife's dress
ing table,"
"It looks like pair of scissors with
wooden handles said the other.
"And it's deadly, too," woman
whispered. "Mazie got hers too hot
the other night and the way it killed
lot of her hair was caution"
Fortunately" another woman an
swered, "the curling iron hath no mis-
cries that peroxide cannot cure"
Assistant States Attorney Daniel
Ramsay insisted there might be single
men on the jury. The judge glanced
knowingly at the jurors. The young
est looked bewildered. SO Judge
Guerin ordered a description of the
weapon supplied. The youngest juror
appeared relieved when he heard what
it was.

Newboys dog chased a rabbit into

WORK FOR HIGH EXPLOSIVES
French Scientist Suggests Their Use
in the Reclamation of War.
Devastated Orchards.

The vigorous growth of wild plants
about shell holes has suggested to M.
Andre Piedallu novel plan for quick
ly restoring war-devastated orchards.
The vigOr Of the weeds is attributed
partly to the assuring of the soil by
the shen-fire and partly to nitrogenous
substances introduced, and in the pro-
pOsal to the French Academy it Is
concluded that an ideal orchard soil
could be produced by breaking up the
rough surface with dynamite in such
a way that fertilizing material would
be driven into the soil. The fertilizer
would be compressed in paper or
cellulOid cases around cylinders of the
explosive, which would be fired by a
Illuminating charge. Holes for the
cartridges about two feet deep would
be bored with a stick or iron rod, and
in the spherical cavity about 30 inches
deep produced by the explosion, the
young tree would be placed and COW
cred with the fertiliZer-charged soil.
Perhaps some of the enormous stores
Of high explosives left over from the
war could be utilized in this way. A
suggestion already made is that the
United States could put to use some of
it's 50,000,O00 or 1O0,000,00O tons of
TINT for reclaiming arid deserts, irri-
eating bitches being dug and roads
graded by firing trains of the explo-
sive placed along the surface.

PIsuues Not Related.

H. De Brun (Bulletin de facade
ME de Medicine), having had several
years experience in Syria with plague,
including an epidemic of pneumonia
plague, protests against the view that
pneumonia following influenza may be
related to the eastern disease. In
pneumonic plague the cough is charac-
terized by a quiet, spasmodic expira,
ton, repeated continuously for long
periods every ten to thirty seconds
and might be termed a "whispering
cough"
Instead of the optimism frequently
manifested on the day before death
in influenza there is a distressing con
sciousness of impending death in the
pneumonia plague patient. Nearly all
cases of the latter plague end fatally
