Do Moths Use Wireless?

afford a solution. If this should
prove to be the fact it will undoubt-
edly be found that electromagnetic
waves of exceedingly short wave
length are employed. Now, Light
is an electromagnetic wave of very
short wave length; both glow worms
and frefies emit light under SINH
lar conditions, 50 there is nothing
so very improbable in the emission
of slightly longer. and hence in
visible, waves by other insects.
Observed facts seem to iend color
to the idea.
Moths have antenna. These. be-
sides acting as feelers. may serve
another use-that of transmitting
and receiving aerials. The anten-
nae of tbs>female. who is the trans
mltter, differ in design from chose
of the male, who receives; that also
agrees with wireless practice. More
over, the male moth when approach
ing the female, is seen to alight
often in an uncertain manner swing
ing his antenn9, much as an op-
orator swings a wireless direction

direction signals emanate.

Of resigning from the Y.

new social program, as was stated
in a telegraphic report Of the resig
nation Of Mrs. Helen Gould Shep
ard, is exceedingly enthusiastic over
the new program.
~ believe the Young Women's
Christian Association to be one of
the strongest organizations Of the
day for doing constructive work
among women and girls, and that in
its aims it is continu-
| ing to use the conservative and
sane methods which have been so
successful heretofore says Mrs.
Morris. II am entirely in sympathy
/ with the action of the association at
+ the recent Cleveland convention.
The convention indorsed the so
= cial ideals of the churches and
commissioned the national board to
make a careful study of industrial
= conditions that call for remedial
Legislation affecting women, and, If
necessary, to back such legislation so
as to make these ideals effective in
business and industry. By this &C
= lion the association has committed
tself to an intelligent and sound
method Of dealing with industrial
conditions; it is following the spirit
IF our historic American traditions
and employing machinery specially
provided by the Constitution of the
United States to gain the end
sought.
"The study and endorsement of
legislation does not mean that W,
hall enter party politics in any
way. The British Y. W. c. A. for
rears has voiced its opinion on legis-
ative matters concerning women
Without being drawn into party con-
roversies, and I believe that we can

Convention voted only that the ma

3ody to the many local associations,
hould make study Of legislation

peal organizations to any action and
Eaves each one free to do as it
eems best in such matters. The

AUCTION BRIDGE

Question-When a, who was keeping
the score, announces at the end of
hand, That wins the rubber" Y dis
putes it, and asks to see the score pad.
He finds that A has scored the second
game as won by three odd in diamonds,
doubled, whereas, as Y points out, the
bid was four, and A did not make it.
so that what A calls the rubber game
is actually only the second game, and
the rubber game is still to be played
Can insist on playing another game,
the mistake being admitted by all
hands when the bidding is recalled -
L. C.
Answer-It is too late to make any
correction in the trick score after
declaration has been made on the fol-
lowing deal. This compels Y TO let
the score for game in diamonds stand
and also the rubber.
Question-Before the bidding 5 quite
finished, his partner, A, having yet to
pass as the last person to speak, B
leads the seven Of clubs. bets he
can prevent A from either bidding or
leading that suit. B says it is only an
exposed card. What is the rule W
c. j.
Answer-The partner OF the player
in error is barred from bidding any
thing or doubling. If the other side
gets the contract the card led in error
is an exposed card. If the partner of

clubs.

but he does not mind losing, because
he derives a great deal of fun out
of the game. And not the least of
his fun is directly traceabla to the
habit he has of combining poker
with politics. For instance, he never
lays down his hand without COM
ment on the politics of the cards.
If he has three kings or even three
mines, he remarks that he has three
Republicans But if his three of q

that. Then he went to his exami-
nation and slipped through by mar
row but safe margin.
And he never found out whether
he got through owing to his store of
information on the subject, or his
vulgar display Of wealth and gener-
osity.
To assuage his conscience he con-
tinued to attend church regularly
for many weeks after that, dropping
in large coins whenever his credit
permitted

A This query is not nearly
so grotesque as it may at
first appear, says Hubert Stringer
in THE London Daily Mail" Dur
ing the pairing season in the month
of June moths of certain species are
observed to communicate with each
other over distances as great as one
or two miles by some means un-
known. A female Vaporer moth,
for instance, inclosed in a wooden
pillbox, will attract males Of it's
species from all directions.
Now, it is not by scent that the
position Of the female moth is dis
covered, since the males will ap-
proach down wind; neither can it be
by sound Of some frequency in
audible to human ears, for female
may be inclosed in a sound proof
box and the males will still un-
erringly find her. Entomologists so
far have shelved this mystery un-
der the head of communication by
some means unknown, and there in
the textbooks the matter rests.
1t is now high time that expert
ments were made upon the suppo-
sition that wireless telegraphy may

~ ONGRESSMAN Frank D. Scott .

CONGRESSMAN Frank D. Scott,
~ Of Michigan, is a man of re-
sourcefulness and capabilities. He
was resourceful even back in the
days when he was a mere college
student. There was a certain course
of study Scott was pursuing under
the direction of a professor whom
we may call Hicks Examination
season approached and it occurred
to Scott that he knew only in q
very general and sketchy way the
things he might be called upon by
Hicks to write down on paper.
Moreover, he had a feeling that he
was not personally popular with
Hicks. The trouble with Scott was
that he had been unable to give
much thought or attention to Hicks
branch Of learning because he was
occupied in accumulating various
brands of knowledge not to be
found in textbooks.
The situation seemed extremely
grave to Scott, and he cast about for
some way in which to ingratiate
himself with Hicks. He felt that no
matter how much he might know at
the last minute, he would stand a
much better show to pass his exami-
nation if Hicks held him in high per-
sonal esteem. After a careful in
quiry into Hicks habits he found
that the professor passed the collec-
ton plate in a small church. Scott
began to attend that church. For
three consecutive Sundays - the

it is very desirable to get
rid Of, and they cannot be trumped
but may be discarded, the first thing
to consider is the Importance Of re-
tanning the lead until those discards
have been made, because the moment
the lead is lost the opportunity to
discard goes with it.
AS we have seen, this is especially
true Of the trump suit. If the
trumps can be held until the adver-
saries are exhausted, without the
slightest danger Of their getting into
the lead, the discards may just as
we'll be made after the trumps are
gone as before.
But even after the last adverse
trump has been taken out, the de-
clarer must still retain the lead in
the plain suits until the discarding
is finished, otherwise the whole
scheme Of play falls through. AS it
is often important so to arrange
matters that a certain hand shall be
in the lead after the trumps are
gone, the trump suit itself may re-
quire careful attention in the matter
of leading it. Take this case:

IS \ BOUT the last incident in
which Whitcomb Riley figured
was so strange" relates Rileys old
time friend Senator Harry New,
that l would not mention it if |
did not have the most complete
assurance Of its truth. Many Of
Riley's intimates heard him speak
shudderingly, at various times, Of
his abhorrence of the ministrations
Of the undertaken after his death.
It SO happened that the night Riley
died, the undertakers after having
attended to the prelinlinaries, quit
the room for some necessary articles,
leaving the body unattended. On
their return two or three hours later
to complete their Offices, great was
their surprise to find the door locked,
not only fastened, but locked, and
from the inside. All efforts to open
it were futile and it was necessary
to place a stepladder to the wall
outside and send man in through
the window Of the chamber on the
second floor in which the mortal
part Of Riley lay entirely alone
How did the door become locked? :?

ONE of the big New York news
" papers desired quite few
years ago to get hold of some short
fiction stories for its Sunday issue.
1t is related that Don Seitz, mana
ger Of the paper, took upon himself
the task of selecting this fiction.
He sent to a literary agent and
asked him for a lot Of stories by
writer's who were not so we'll known
that their prices would be too high.
In little while Seitz found himself
facing stack of great many
score of soiled manuscripts which
had been rejected by various maga-
zines, and all by authors who were
practically unknown. Seitz began
to go through them, SO the story
is related in New York, paying no
attention to names but making a
separate pile of those which excited
his interest. After several hours
of this kind Of work he had large
pile OF goats on one side of him
and smaller pile of the sheep on
the other. Then he went through
the sheep a second time to see if
among these more meritorious man
uscripts he could find the name of
any celebrated author. He found
that, by chance, all the stories he
had picked out there were the work
Of just two authors-both at that
time unknown to fame-Rex Beach
and O. Henry.
