Why Rat 10 Farmers Enemy.

The number Of useful insect-eating
birds nesting on the ground or in low
bushes which fall victims to rats is
extremely large and is one Of the
many kinds Of injury done by these
pernicious animals, which cannot be

without many times finding it de-

lying about. PROFESSIONALLY large

the neighborhood of buildings have
been raided by rats.
On one Of the small Danish islands

WEALTH FROM ROCK SHALE
How Extraction Of Oil Will Add Enor-
mousIy to the Resources Of the
United States.

An interesting development, being
watched by scientists, is in the ex-
tracing of oils and other products
from rock shale. It will surprise
many to know that the bureau of
mines estimates that the exposed and
known shale in Colorado and Utah
will yield 38,OOOOOO,OOO gallons of
oil-that Is nearly 1000, 100000 bar
rels.
In Scotland, where shale oil is pro-
duced on commercial scale for
twenty-five years dividend Of from s
to 30 per cent has been paid. In this
country the shale rocks are found in
the Dakotas, Wyoming, Montana, Ne
vada, Arizona and New Mexico, be-
sides those in the above states where
the possible yield would be near l.

were glad to receive our offer of as

Promptly at five we were on the
march, everyone with nerves at ten

glad of the opportunity to test their
mettle in real, red-blooded fight
The first hour of our march was
through the forest, but we finally
came out on the edge of some open
billy country. 1t was pitch-dark and
we were often single-file During
the last hour, we would march posi-
bly, hundred yards, come to a halt,

again. We were travelling along and
about half way up range of hills.
The valley just across from us was
occupied by the Huns. At one point
boy near me lit cigarette. and

and struck the rocks on the side of
us. We ducked. and you can bet that
fellow lost his cigarette.
We finally crossed the valley and
came to the edge of No Mans Land

the cold wet ground, with a piercing
wind coming down the valley. until

THAT GOOD OLD RAIL FENCE
ent Institution That Held Hon.
ored Place on the Farm.

Among the once necessaries of farm
life that reflected prodigality in the
use Of valuable timber was the old
rail fence, observes The Columbus Dis
patch. Like many cfAer almost by
cones of rural life. its place in farm
waStefuln"Se now Is we'll established
and yet II had it's uses for which the
present straight line wire fencing can
not qualify.
The old rail fences serrated
stretches were the homes Of small ami
NAL life that now are rapidly disap-
pearing. Around its timbers there grew
the uncultivated blackberry, with its
sister, the raspberry, and among its
recesses there thrived the elder whose
fruit once was coveted pie material
and whose blossoms were the founda-
ton for elderberry wine that matrons
served of winter evening when the
neighbors gathered.
The rail fence, with its invariable
underground. was the favorite protec-
ton for Bob White In winter, and
from Its top he sang in the warmer
seasons. Beneath, the little ground
squirrel burrowed. From safe re-
treat he chartered II some intruder
came near to annoy him as he was
busily engaged in gathering his store
OF food for the snow time.
To the harvest hand it afforded pro-
lection at the end Of the long row for
q brief respite and its corners formed
shaded hooks under which the water
jug might be kept.
And from what royal timber was
this old fence constructed! Black
walnut logs, chestnut logs and the
smooth lengths of the ash tree were
cleft by numerous rail splitters for
the "seven high" fence that stood the
storms Of decades. There was many
a black walnut rail whose timber
would make the manufacturer of gun
stocks chortle with satisfaction had
he such a present supply of wood at
his command.

WHY
Periscopes Are 4 Necessity
on Locomotives

Inventions previously used exclu-
slvely for war purposes, are now find
Ing their way into industry. Even the
submarine, associated with destruc-
ton. has something to contribute. For
instance, why not periscope for rail
way engineers? Why is it necessary
for the engineer to lean out of his
cab to see the track ahead of him,
or the signal of the conductor or flag
man in the rear Of the train?
According TO- i. G. Spencer of Lon
don. England, telescopes would be a
great help To all locomotives engineers.
eliminating much danger and incon-
veuicnce.
He has invented two periscopes
which can be attached to an ordinary
locomotive cab. to enable the engineer
to obtain an unobstructed view Of the
track ahead and Of his train in the
rear. The periscopes are supported
by rubber or other flexible means in
brackets, SO that they can be readily
adjusted in position or turned about
a vertical or horizontal axis. The
space between the periscope and the
roof of the cab is filled with rub
Der rings.
One Of the periscopes Is telescope
and Is In two parts held together by
wing-nut and bolt. It is provided
with windows, a removable cover and
projections which bear against the
securing clamps. The periscope may
be Of lazy-tongs type or otherwise
adjustable in length, and the mirrors
may be protected from smoke by
hood or casing.
So equipped. in an emergency. the
engineer is able to see all that Is
necessary, without leaving his post at
the throttle.
