ENCOURAGE BIRDS TO NEST
Only Through Them Can the Many In-
 sect Pests Be Kept Within the t Bounds of Safety.

Of all the ways of rldding our gar dens, parks and farms of the insect pests that destroy fruit, grain, and even trees, none Is so effective as the encouragement of birds. Most birds are naturally insect eaters, and 1t Is really amazing to count the number of beetles, bugs, caterpillars and grubs that a small bird will devour in a day.
 Andre Goddard, a French naturalist, remarks in a recent number of La Ma ture (Paris) that agricultural plaques invariably follow the disappearance of birds, and he notes that the forests of Hungary were saved by the plac- ing of many artificial nests to attract the feathGred enemies of the grubs that were destroying the trees.
 It Is true that a few birds eat fruit and grain, but even these prefer ln- Sects. and 1t is probably true in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred that the bird which seems to be eat Ing the fruit Is really pecking at an insect inside 1t.

DESERT HERO KNOWN TO FEW
Dog That. With It's Master, Waa Savior of Many Lives, Well
 Cared For in Its Old Age.

Rufus, the dog hero of the desert who has saved many lives, Is ending his declining days In a dog sanatorlum at Pasadena, Cal, where he Is well cared for. The end of the dog is aOt far or, says Our Dumb Animals Ia a recent issue. He is spent and feeble after his many long and weary Journeys over the burning and blind ing sands with his pioneer master. He will no doubt soon fall asleep.
 Lou WeStcott Beck and Rufus were intrepid pioneers in a life-savlng proj- ect that received sCanty support and tardy recognition. Together they fared forth on their mission of mercy, Beck carrying signbOards and cans of paint, Rufus laden with saddlebags of re- storativeS and poison antidote. While the man set up the guideposts, or painted the water signs, the dog sue cored many a prospector who other wise would have died miserably from delirium of thirst or the venom of snake bites.
 The work of these two great bene- factors Is over. Beck died In July, 1917, and since then the government has appropriated one hundred thou sand dollars to carry on the project that he and his devoted dog started.
 Rufus will be well provided for by a veterinarian who was a personal friend of Beck's. The old dogs years of hardshIpS, of life-savlng service on the desOlate wastes, are not without their reward. His many friends who used to see him on the streets and pat him with approval as he started out on his desert trips will not forget him in his old age.

ARABIAN EMPIRE NOT LIKELY
As Travellers Point Out, System and Organization Are Foreign to
 the Semitic Mind.

History Is against the probability of the creation of an Arabian empire. The Semitic mind does not lean to- ward system or organization" said Col. Thomas E. Lawrence recently.
 "The Semites are represented by very little art, architecture, philOS0- phy. But we find an amazing fer. tillty among the Semites in the crea- tIon of creeds and religions. Three of these creeds-Judaism Christianity and Mohammedanism- become great world movements. The broken fragments of countless other religions which have failed are found today on the fringes of the desert.
 "The desert seems to produce only one idea-the unlversality of God. We, who have gone out to discover the meaning of the desert have found only mptiness-nothing but sand, wind, soil and empty space. The BedouIns leave behind them every exraneous comfort and go to live in the desert, in the very arms of starva- tion, that they may be free. The des- ert exacts a price for Its secret. It makes the Bedouins entirely useless to their fellow. men. There has never been a Bedouin prophet. On the other hand, there has never been a Semitic prophet who has not. before preach ing his message, gone Into the desert and caught from the desert dwellers reflection of their belief. The idea of the absolute worthlessness of the present world fs a pure desert concep- ton, at the root of every Semitic re- liglon, which must be filtered through the sceen of a nOn-nOmad prophet before 1t can be accepted by a settled peOple.-AsIa Magazine.

ANIMAL LIFE AT ITS WORST
Woe. Begone Specimens of Dogs, Pigs, and Horses in the Cuban Pro-
 vince of Pinar del Rio.

There are more dogs than any Oth- CT kind of animal life tn Pinar del Rio. the weSternmost province of Cuba. and chickens, pigs, ponies and goats rank ueXt ID the order named. Dogs may be seen everywhere, but they are lazy and indifferent. Each shack-hOld has a few chickens, none of which would have the shade of a chance In a poultry show. but might bold their own at cooking main.
 There are many pigs to be seen. but they are so thin and weakened that the much abused razor-back looks like a prosperous porker, says the National Geographical Magazine. Each pig Is anchored fast to a peg In the ground, terhered a rope. Knowing that If the rope were passed only about the pigs neck he could wiGgle free, the native passes it around the pig in the front Of one shoulder and behind the opposite leg and then draws 1T tight enough 10 prevent the pig from back.
