"'Pears like Polk Sawney, that runs

something. talk a few politics, and so
forth. When sa'ntered in nobody

After Pirates Gold,

The ever-stirring lure Of pirates
gold has started another little band
of Adventures off to Cocos islands,
where at the bottom of snug little
harbor, are said to lie huge brass
bound treasure chests. In a little
craft of 60 feet, the eight men who
form the expedition have set sail
from a port on the Atlantic seaboard.
The central figure In the group Is
Andrew B. Cullen of Haileybury, Ont,
who is the owner and operator Of
the instrument with which he claims to
be able to discover any kind Of
metal, and upon which the pro-
moters depend to find their fabulous
riches
Another essential figure is one Nc
Grath of New York, the promoter Of
the venture. They will be accom-
panied by q prospector Of Swedish
descent who is said to have discov'
cred book and maps in the Hudson
bay district Of northern Canada
which contains directions as to the
approximate location Of the bidder
riches Of the pirates of olden days
The instrument is expected to do the
rest.

Mosquitoes and coIors.

The misunderstanding mosquito, 1t
appears, is attracted by certain colors
and repealed by others. Experiments
have been conducted in gauze tent,
one end Of which was formed by large
windows. Into these the sunlight
poured on bright days. Large stone
basins were placed on the floor for the
mosquitoes to breed in. 1t was imme-
diately noticed that when a person en-
tered the tent chad In dark gray
clothes. the mosquitoes settled on the
cloth. When the person who entered
was dressed in white flannel, they did
not approach him. A number of boxes
lined with cloth of various colors were
placed in rows upon the floor, and 1t
was noticed that great numbers of
mosquitoes entered the box lined with
dark blue. Fewer of the insects sought
the boxes lined with the other colors,
the number diminishing In this order
Dark red, brown, scarlet, black. slate
gray, olive green, violet, leaf green,
blue, pearl gray, pare green, light blue,
ocher, white and orange. No mosqui-
toes whatever were found In the box
lined with yellow.

slnnIaoant FOSSIL Remains.

THE question of the origin Of the
West Indies will be decided, scientists
aver, when the indigenous animal life
is found to be related indisputably to
that of the South and Central Ameri-
can mainland. But mammals, which,
being wingless, could not have flown
over the intervening seas, are unfor-
tunately the most poorly represented
group of the higher life of the Antilles.
For this reason much scientific inter-
est attaches to a recent expedition to
Jamaica, backed by the American Mu-
scum of Natural History, asserts an
article In Popular Mechanics Maya
zine. Believing that the West Indies
once had much larger mammal in
habitation than today, the expedition
concerned itself with the excavation
of fossil fauna from the islands lime
stone caves. Many fossils were found,
several of them new to science.

SAFETY OF THE AIRPLANE
Passenger Can Expect to Fly Million
Miles Without Danger Of
Accident.

The airplane Is the fastest machine
man has ever built, but fast as it is,
1t has not yet caught up with its repu-
tation for danger. That reputation
was acquired when the plane was In
its infancy, when man was just be-
ginning to master the air and In the
mind of the average man 1t has not
yet been downed.
The British air ministry collected
statistics on all commercial flying in
that country for the last seven months
of 1919. The results amazed even
pilots and engineers, who long had re-
garded the risk in flying as negligible,
says the New York Sun. The figures
covered $3.50 flights by 403 machines
of a total time in the air Of S,36S
hours, during which time $4,000 miles
were Travelled. In all this flying In
good weather and bad, one passenger
was killed in every 16,666 passenger
hours in the air. To put it different
ly, single passenger might expect to
fly about 100000 miles-forty-seVen
times around the world-before becom-
ing the victim of fatal crash. That
sounds utterly absurd to the land
sturm, yet the British government
stands back of the figures.
The pilots who tested experimental
planes did stunt flying and ran other
unnecessary risks showed .48 death
per 1000 hours, as compared with the
passenger rate of .06 per 1000 hours.
Coming nearer home, figures com
piled by the postoffice department
show to the end Of last year 405,OOO
miles flown with loss Of three pilots.
These pilots, Of course, ran many
risks, for they carried the mail through
rain snow and fog that blinded them.
Even in training pilots the figures
are exceedingly low. From the be-
ginning of the war until the end Of
1918, 1890 men learned to fly in the
United States air service. They spent
705,243 hours in the air. One man
was killed in every 2,310 hours, or
one to about every 10000 miles. with
these positive proofs Of aviation's
safety before us, American airplane
manufacturers are going ahead build
ing planes, confident that the realiza-
ton soon will come everywhere that
man can take care of himself as sure
ly in the realm of the birds as in the
realm Of the fishes.

CUT HOME WASTE
Servants Are Responsible for
Greater Part of 1t.
Investigations In New York Prove
That Average Family Throws Away
Pound and Half Of Good Food
Every Day.

People Of average means can hard
ly afford in these days to keep serv-
ants. Households which formerly
kept two or three now get along with
one maid. Many manage with half
servant, sharing her with q neighbor.
Not few housewives have been driv-
en- to the necessity Of doing their own
cooking and sending the washing to
laundry
This has meant a great deal Of dis
comfort, but there has been an incl
dental gain. Waste is enormously re-
duced.
Servants make nearly all the waste
of a household. Many housewives, de-
prived Of "lady help" have been as
tonlshed to observe a shrinkage Of
their food bills, Notwithstanding the
present doubled and trebled prices.
When O domestic establishment en-
ploys half a dozen servants the waste
is enormous. Nearly always in a
house run on that scale the butler and
cook stand in with the butcher and
grocer, and their rake-off increases
with the amount of food they throw
away.
Recent investigations by the New
York health department proved that
the average family living in a private
house, with one or more servants,
throws away a pound and q quarter Of
perfectly good food every day.
1t was found that the average apart
mcnt house family throws away only
oic-fifth us much-largely, doubtless,
because such families reduce domestic
service to a minimum.
In the tenement districts of New
York one garbage can usually suffices
TO hold the food refuse Of 20 families.
But in the private house districts" 1t
WAS found that 1853 families had 175
garbage pals, or more than a pail
apiece.
Examination of the IT'S pals re-
vcalcd IS pounds Of bread and rolls,
30 rounds Of meat, 35 pounds of pota-
toes. 10 pounds of cereals and large
quantities of perfectly edible fresh
vegetables.
Always the amount Of food waste
varies directly with the number OF
servants employed. AS a matter OF
fact, the full garbage pail seems hith-
erto to have been regarded in this
country as manifestation Of pros
perity. Not until very recently have
people begun to think that possibly
this was foolish idea.

farmers had prices of many of their products fixed

liked against them. Since the armistice was signed
