Iron Germs.

In the same manner that coral is do
rived from certain minute sea-insects
who flourish In the South Pacific, so
certain iron ores are obtained from
particular microscopic organisms.
That is the latest scientific discovery,
which promises interesting develop
ments.
1t has been proved that these germs
not only aid In the decomposition Of
rocks and in the formation Of chalk
and limestone, but play an active part
In the forming of Iron-ore deposits.
Laboratory cultures have been made
Of bacteria which deposit iron COM
pounds both In surface waters and In
mine water hundreds Of feet under
ground, and the hard crusts and Shiny
masses that choke up water-supply
pipes have been found to be composed
Of millions Of these "lron bacteria"

Nothing Green In Death Valley.

The natural vegetation Of Death val
ley Is scant and stunted. There is not
a green thing that grows there natural
ly. The thorny mesqult trees are Of a
yellowlsh- green tinge; so, too, are the
grease bushes, while the sagebrush is
either yellowish gray or the color Of
ashes. A little round gQlrd called the
desert apple grows in some Of the can
yons. It turns yellow when ripe and
has thin meat within that is exceed
ingiy bitter. The cactus that grows
beyond the valley in abundance is
rare here. In short, the vegetation Of
Death valley is terribly scant, even In
comparison with the MoJ0ve desert.

Of the IS and $40 variety.
The color of the new umbrella Will
be black and the paper of a compost

Louisiana Man Has Discovered Meth
cd Of Making the Worms Color
Their Own Product.

While the sillworm has no fancy
for any particular color. preferring to
weave Its cocoon Of a drab gray so
that it win not show against a gray
tree trunk, one man has discovered
method whereby he can make the
little spinners produce any one OF the
Is shades at his pleasure. The man
Is DIR. Vartan X. 0sIgian, son OF
long line Of silk manufacturers, and
he has an extensive silkworm farm
near New Orleans.
0sigian has discovered that upon
feeding the worms certain leaves they
will respond by spinning certain col
ors. He has carried out his expert
ments until he has the Is varieties Of
food to produce the like number Of
colors. The silk thus shaded will not
fade in either water or sunlight. Not
only has he secured colored silk, but
in addition he has increased the
cocoon in size until single one pro-
vides 1900 yards to a strand, and
there are two strands to cocoon.

afternoon. The entire seating capacity
of the hall was utilized. The League
lis not an exclusive suffrage club, as
ITS name might imply, for every wo-
man in town is entitled to member
ship in it by virtue of her sex alone;
nor is it an adherent of any particular
party, for every woman in America,
whether her allegiance leans toward
Democratic, Republican or Socialistic
issues, is interested in the develop
ment of the League. It's broad, gem
eral purpose is to foster education in
citizenship, and to support humanita-

will be given every second Thursday
