Electricity to Locate Metal.

The idea of using current trans
mitted through the earth as a means
Of locating metal ores is familiar, the
belief being that the greater conduc-
tivity Of these metaIliferOus regions can
be clearly indicated, and the area
mapped out, says the Scientific Ameri-
can. The location of oil deposits,
which according to the Electrical Re
view is now being Investigated cleo
trically, presents a converse problem.
In this case the insulating properties
Of the oil diminish the current, and
oil-bearing regions are detected &C
cOrdingly. In view of the great depth
to which 1t is often necessary to bore
for Oil-oil that only exists simuIta-
neOusly with an almost Oil-free area
above-the method would seem to
have limitations, but it has doubtless
possibilities in dealing with surface oil
areas.

Boy "PoIicemanm Gets Results.

Bill Zerbe, formerly of Indianapolis,
is motorcycle policeman in the LO-
ganspOrt police department. Both the
young and old know Bill because Of
his record as a tanner of speeders.
A few days ago the driver Of an
automobile permitted the motor Of his
machine to run while he went into a
store. When he came out he found
piece Of paper in the front seat Of
the car. On the paper were these
words: "YOu are pinched for permit
ting the engine of your machine to
run over Is minutes. Bill Zerbe."
The driver of the car went TO pO-
lice headquarters to pay his fine and
exhibit the evidence that he had been
caught. On being assured that the
paper presented had not been pre-
pared by Zerbe, the driver of the ma
chine recalled that he had seen a
small boy with a broad grin on his
face standing near when he started
toward the police station.-IndianapO

BIG TREE YIELDED TO AGE
Chestnut in Which Washington ls
Said to Have Hidden coIIapses
at Yonkers, New York.

Maybe there's no truth in the ira
dition that George Washington once
hid in the hollow trunk of the great
chestnut tree that until recently stood
in the front yard Of Charles T. Coy,
YOnkers, New York. But folk there
about believe he did, just as they be-
lieve that the tree was 700 or 800
years old when it died a few years
ago, and was the oldest and biggest
tree of any variety not only in West
chester county but in New York state.
The trunk, which was about 80 feet
tall and about 35 feet in circumfer-
ence, according to Mr.. Coy, was cut
down by the department of public
works of YOnkers, and its dismem-
bered remains carted away. Said Mr..
Coy:
Before it died that tree produced
the biggest and understanding
chestnutS I ever saw. After its death
vine that covered it made it still
an object of beauty, just as its vast
size and age made 1t an object Of adj
mirat1On.
THE top was broken off about the
time 1t died. l never knew its exact
height. But 1 do know that a deal
of tradition had grown up around
1t and that it commonly was rated the
largest tree in this part of the country.
l am sure it was the biggest in this
county"

GREAT DRY DOCK IN NAPLES
strUction Of Mammoth Affair on
Mediterranean.

WashingtOn.-The largest dry dock
on the Mediterranean is planned at
Naples.
Recent DEGREES of the Italian govern
ment authorizing the construction of
this dock and a smaller one at the in
dustrial port Of Baia-AvernO provide
that work must begin within six
months of the official date of the
declaration of peace.
Besides the dry docks, it is planned
to transform Lake Averno for the use
Of ship yards, and to build a canal
connecting the lake with the port of
Naples proper.
The Italian government will within
a period of fifty years pay about half
Of the cost of the work and at the end
Of sixty years the entire property
automatically becomes government
property.

TO DESTROY INSECT PESTS
Two Forms of Insecticides Necessary
for Successful Protection of
Plants and Foliage.

Do not waste your time spraying
paris green on insects that suck the
juices from plants and foliage, such
as lice, green, black and white aphis
or fly, mealy bug, red spider and scale,
by thrusting their prObOsciS into the
leaf or stem, for they are not affect
ed by stomach pOisOns. They must
be destroyed by contact insecticides.
Those in powder form kill by clos
ing the breathing pores in the Insects
skin, or in fluid form by being alb
sOrbed through these pores, the Amer
lean Forestry Magazine points out.
The best contact insecticides in pow
der form are hellebOre, slug shot and
tobacco dust. The best in fluid form
are aphine, black leaf 40, fish (whale)
oil soap, nicotine tobacco extract),
kerosene, miscible oil and lemon oil.
Insects that eat plants, foliage, vege-
tables, fruits, flowers, etc, whether
bugs, beetles, worms, caterpillars or
slugs are more quickly and effectu-
ally destroyed with a poisonous stO-
machic insecticide such as arsenate of
lead, paris green or hellebOre. These,
if applied according to directions, are
so diluted as to be harmless to vege-
tatiOn and to animal life. Less poi
sOnOus stOmachic and contact insecti-
cides are kerosene emulsion, slug
shot, etc.

INDIANS WORSHIP SUN
Ancient Customs Carried Out
Amid Weird Surroundings.
Every Year in Midsummer BannocEC
Indians Go to Dancing Grounds
for Rite of Thanks.

POcatello, Idaho.-Every year In
midsummer the BannOck Indians
travel little-used trail to their dane
ing grounds. Between 800 and 1000 Of
them gather yearly to worship the sun.
In the vast quiet of the evening,
when the hush has fallen over the sage
brush and the sun is a great ball of
red fire sinking behind the mountains,
the dreary beat of their tomtOmS and
the low, ghOstly chant of their song
can be heard for miles. The sound
grows in strength as one approaches
until with a great burst Of glazing
campfres and seeming cOnfusid4 the
camping grounds are reached. Indians
in their native garb are everywhere,
hideOus in their war paints and with
glistening naked bodies.
In the center Of a corral made from
walls are the dancers and the chant
ers, and in rhythm to the beat of the
tOmtOmS the dancer advances to the
pole, eyes upIifted in worship.
The young bucks who dance are not
permitted to eat or drink for three
days and are accompanied by the tom
toms beaten by the squaws. The dance
is a religious rite and festival of
thanks to the gods for bOuntiful crops
and herbs, streams full of fish and the
sky full of fowls.
Now and then one falls to the
ground unconscious from physical ex
haustiOn and is carried to the side to
recover.
