FLASH LIGHTS IN UNISON
Firefiies Seem to Have an Understand
ing as to When to Begin
an Illumination.

Various observers testify to the fact
that myriads of glow worms very oc-
c~asionally indulge In sy%nchronous flash
ing with very beautiful effect. 1t Is
thought by some that this phenom-
enon Is accidental. although In this
light some cases would seem incred-
ible.
John V. Purcell of Washington,
ID. c., records that in the town of Co
tabato. island of Mindanao, z. l., a few
years ago there We're two trees about
the size of apple trees and perhaps a
hundred yards apart, and every eve-
ming these were filed with f~irefies
which flashed in unison, first one tree
lighting up and then the other. There
must have been several thousand in
sects In each tree, yet the synchronism
was so perfect that rarely or never
did a single freely fash at the wrong
time.
L the best Of my recollection the
Illumination period lasted about two
or three seconds and the dark periods
perhaps twice that long. l car posi-
uVeiy vouch for the accuracy Of the
foregoing, for 1t seemed so strange and
produced so beautiful an effect that
thought 1t one of the most remarkable

astronomers, may declare that on June 81 the sun attains its
maximum distance from the equator" and Seems to stand
stir prior to making its descent on the other side, and that

Uses for Old Papers and Magazines

Uses for Old Papers and Magazines
Everyone knows that it has become
worth the while of housewives in av-
erage circumstances to save the old

and sell them to the junk man. The
price paid for them is much higher
than in prewar times. Before the war
80 per cent of the rags Ised for paper
making in this country were bought in
Europe and brought here. AT any rate
this is what the paper men tell us.
These rags not being available during
the war, prices of paper began to soar
1t Is not likely that they will get back
to their prewhr level for many a year.
In the meantime it is worth while, be-
sides icing good policy, fo.' some mem.

Old newspapers and magazines may
be used in other ways. 1t is said if
they are immersed in water and rolled
while wet, into tight balls, when dried
out these balls make excellent fuel. 1t
takes them some time to dry and this
little industry ought to prove profita-
BILE to the enterprising small boy who
undertakes 1t. The balls are used as a
substitute for wood or coal, making
clean. bright fire. During the war
children in the schools learned to make
trench candles of old newspapers and
paraffin. The papers were cut into
four-inch strips and number of strips
rolled tightly together into fat can
dies. These were boiled for an hour
in paraffin. They make a small and

strips are sloped off to points at the
ends. Then they are rolled tightly
around heavy needle and dipped in
clear shellac. This forms a long bead
when the needle is withdrawn, and
these beads are strung on Irvine, with
glass beads between the paper ones, or
beads of wood or metal instead of
glass. The beads are in many beauti
full colors and look like Venetian
beads, except that they are long and
pointed at the ends.
All garbage cans should be lined
with old newspapers as soon as they
are emptied. This keeps them from
rusting and acquiring bad odor. Bits
of food and refuse from the kitchen
and table should be drained of water
or other liquid and wrapped in pa
per before being placed i the garbage
can. This is handy way in which to
handle garbage in cities, where people
have no chickens or pigs to feed it to.
HOusekeepers save themselves hard
work by spreading down papers over
clean floors on rainy days. The feet
of the ice man usually need to be
guarded against in this way and if a
runner, linoleum or small rugs cover
the porch or kitchen this newspaper
protection will keep them good-looking
much longer than they could otherwise
be. Newspapers used as interlinings are
said to provide much warmth in COW
