Apes as Farm Hands
Prof. Richard Lynch Garner Plans
Nation of Conllas in u. S.

Prof. Richard Lynch Garner has an
nounced his intention of establishing
a nation Of chimpanzees and gorillas
In the United States for the ultimate
purpose of uplifting the entire ape
race, says a New York correspondent.
Professor Garner has just returned
after two and One-half years in the
French Congo gathering specimens for
the Smithsonian institution.
The apes today, in their uncultured
state, are second only to the human
family in point Of intellect, the profess
sor said. He believes that apes, IL
given the advantage of modern educa.
ton and environment, would develop
into a race that would sow and reap
and toll in the mill. In refined young
lady apes the professor sees q possible
solution of the servant problem.
"Sam, a boy ape that shared my
home In Africa, learned to fetch things
l called for" he said. HE became as
particular as I about bed sheets being
smoothed out, and he couldn't 20 to
sleep without a pillow. If a man could
train a dog to herd sheep, man can
make a farm hand out of an ape"

His Fatal Error.

Poor old Teller" alphabetically
said the landlord Of the Petunia tav-
ern, as a funeral procession trailed by.
HE was u last lingering horse doc
tor. For years he went around haul
ing open horses mouths and wagging
his head as II he had discovered some
thing absolutely unheard Of in the an.
nails Of horse history. Probably he
didn't really know much about horses,
but he loved to associate with them.
After he had outlived his usefulness,
and almost outlived horses, he would
60 poking around among the autos and
muttering. And day before yester-
day, when he found one standing
alone and unhitched he went In front
Of 1t and tried to open It's mouth, or
something; anyhow, 1t gave q snort
and ran over him, and fetched his
checkered career to an end. Well,
Doc was a pretty good sort Of a Teller,
and he didn't owe me but So that I
remember of."--Kansas City Star.

CaSein of Milk Makes the
Best Enamel Covering for
Wings of the Airplanes

Scientists recently have discovered
that the casein of milk makes prob
ably the best enamel covering for air
plane wings. The paint from casein
dries quickly, is as smooth as enamel,
and in a few hours becomes impervi-
Gus to weather conditions.
Casein after being extracted from
skim-milk and dried has four principal
uses: 1. In the preparation Of plas-
tic masses and galalith as a substitute
for horn, ivory, celluloid. 2. AS a
painting material. 3. AS a mucilage
and cement. 4. AS a dressing and
color-fixing medium in textiles.
1t Is used in plastic masses for the
making of combs, collar buttons, imi-
tation linOleum and leather, and bone
and electrical insulating material.
Galalith, meaning ''milk stone" is
made from casein into imitation mar
BILE, colored furniture decorations,
electrical insulations. and the like.

HINTS FOR THE
POULTRY GROWER

Cholera and blackhead, a common
disease Of which many kinds Of do
nestle poultry die, but most commonly
chickens and turkeys, has 40 real
name in poultry annals, though on
making q diagnosis Of the dead birds
often it Is called cholera, blackhead
and a few other names, when, after
all, 1t is merely acute inflammation or
the intestines caused by feeding con-
stipating food, says one person.
It is true that fowls after eating
drastic poisons, will show up with the
same intestinal inflammation, but it
is more commonly due to feeding a
~too-heavily concentrated ration. 1t Is
the mysterious disease that so often
kills hogs, calves and sheep. In the
first it is, as in poultry, too often at
tributed to cholera, and the owner
goes on feeding in the old way instead
Of giving the flock, or the herd, plenty
of pure water at all hours to quickly
pass the concentrated food on TO quick
elimination, helped on by regular
doses of Epson salts.
This neglect is more apparent with
poultry than other stock. Corn Is one
of the feeds most sure to bring on
this condition, If fed in large quaint"
ties to any kind Of stock. With pouh
try, as with other stock, and especially
in spring when frost lies on the new
grass the trouble at times will bring
about great loss.

Beet and Cane Sugar Crops.

Beet and cane sugar combine to
make nearly an average production Of
sugar in this country for the season
beginning In 1913. A little over a
million short tons, or 1.007.0 5O is the
total Of the two crops, according to
estimates, subject to revision made
by the bureau Of crop estimates. The
average Of the preceding FIVE years is
1,O31.6O tons, or somewhat greater
than the production Of 1913.
The c%ane-sugar crop of 1913. how
ever. is estimated to be 268,950 tons
or considerably above the average Of
the preceding i've years. 24S,4 400 tons,
while the beet sugar crop Of 74O,100
tons is below the fveyeas Svsrage a

Windmill Drives Dynamo
for Forest Fire Alarm

The windmill Is q new addition to
the forest rangers station on the
mountain peaks Of the West, says the
Popular Mechanics Magazine. It's
purpose is to drive the dynamo that
supplies current for a wireless tele-
phone. The telephone has long been
the chief aid Of the lookout in fight
Ing fires In our great national forests.
Often, however, when most needed,
the wires would be lying useless un-
der a slide Of rocks or snow or a
fallen tree, so the rangers are to have
wireless telephones, whose function
Ing cannot be disturbed in these ways.

Duets Are Common Between
Pairs of Birds of Various
Species Authorities Say

The singing Of birds is taken for
granted. Yet there must a been
a beginning Of b%ird-song and some
real reason for 1t. Nothing merely
happens. 1t was not beneath the con
sideration of Darwin, who held that
the discovery of the voice first came
from fear and pain, the agony com
pressing the muscles of the chest and
forcing the air through the CLOTHS so
as to create a sound. What originated
In fear afterwards developed into an
art or accomplishment, so that gradu-
ally, during the ages, many birds de-
veloped "calls" to others Of the oppo-
site sex.
O~rnithologists say that any bribery
which induces one bird Of a species to
approach another of the same kind Is
a "call note," whether 1t be a combat
cry or an alarm, which were the
earliest, to be followed later by the
lOve-cali.
At the beginning Of the breeding
season birds Of opposite sex call to
each other, and this vocal exercise Is
especially performed by the males.
Songs were actually mere repetitions
Of call notes, and only later came the
development Of pure song as under
stood by men. When nightingales are
counting they utter a gentle, subdued
warbling. Duets are common between
pairs of birds Of various species. Real
song, however, does not seem to de-
pend upon the breeding season at all.

COUNCIL FAVORS
DAYLIGHT SAVING
Resolution Supporting Issue
to Be Brought Up on
Monday

With councilmen heartily support
ing the daylight saving issue, Steel
ton is about to fall in line with some
of the larger cities in the country
in enforcing law locally next
summer if a universal edict is not
put into force, giving residents an
additional hour of daylight.
A resolution will be presented to
council i'm monthly session in the
council chamber on Monday night.
The resolution provides that council
favors a move to enforce a daylight
saving law during next summer
should businessmen consent to COM
ply with the councils request.
Businessmen will be asked to have
employees go to work an hour earlier
during the summer months. The
plan is similar to that being worked
out for the larger cities.
The move is supported by officials
of the steel plant and advocates feel
confident that there will be little
trouble i'm getting an ordinance
through enforcing the law in the
borough. At the last meeting of
council the move was generally dis
-cussed, the outcome of which was
the decision TO have the borough So
licitor draw up a resolution en-
.bodying the features of the plan in
other cities.
