Small Clouds on Jupiter.

Prof. w. III. Pickering, in recent
address before the British Astronom-
ical association, recalled the fact that
during his observations at Arequipa he
noticed that the surface of Jupiter, in
stead of being composed of uniform
bands of yellOwish white or brown.
really consisted of an enormous num-
Der of extremely minute reddish brown
clouds seen upon Il perfectly white
background. The effect of belts was
produced where the cloudlets were nu-
merOus, and the light spaces where
they were scarce. He compared the
appearance of these spots to the we'll
known rice grains" on the, sun. Their
length lay in the direction of rotation
OF the planet. He said he had since
observed the cloudets in Jamaica, and
they have been seen in England by
Phillips and SteavenSon.-Scientif

WAR ON SCREW-Vl02M FLIES
Traps Have Proved Effective Methods
Of Getting Rid of Human and
Animal Pests.

The use of flytraps for catching
screw-worm flies is q new idea as
means Of combating those abominable
insects, and has already proved de-
cidedly effective. They are first
class pest in some parts Of this country,
and especially in southwest Texas.
Cattle and other livestock suffer
much from their attacks, their habit
being to lay eggs in any sort Of wound.
The larvae Matched from the eggs
bore into the tissues, feeding upon
them and doing most destructive mis-
chief. When ready to transform into
pupae, they come out, drop to tho
ground and bury themselves to await
metamorphosis into flies. The screw
worm flies are typical meat flies, and
the carcass Of any dead animal quickly
becomes hatchery for them. Hence,
In the region afflicted by them. 1t
Is very important that all carcasses
shall be promptly destroyed, preferably
by burning Occasionally 1t happens
that human beings are attacked.
A fly crawls up the nostrils Of sleep
ing person and lays it's eggs. The
larvae Matched from them invade the
sinuses, and death is likely to result.

NOTHING "s0FT" ABOUT THIS
Heavy Outfit and Intense Heat Make
Life Miserable for Sentries at

In thick serge trousers, heavy scarlet

ing and half stifled.
Their outlook was upon roadway
stained with oil and reeking of petrol,
flaring beds of scarlet geraniums,
scorched brown grass and the SHIN
mering heat rejecting copper work
surrounding the Victoria memorial.
The fountain was not playing and the
surroundings were as devoid of cool
ness as an alfalfa plain. One almost

SEES WOMEN RULE WORLD
French Professor Makes Prophecy
That May or May Not Cause Feel
ings of Alarm.

Old maids are going to rule the world
within another generation. and when
that happens all sensible men, looking
for happy ex!stences, will try to flee
this earth and try out the planet Mars.
This is the opinion Of Professor Cir
Quilt. probably the beSt-known French
authority in political economy, who
addresses Lis beliefs to the University
of POitiers.
women are going to assume lead
ership, particularly in Europe, for the
next hundred years." Professor Circuit
says. This does net mean that civ
ilization is becoming effeminate, nor
does it result Simply from the fact that
women will b. numerically stronger.
But there are 10 many women for the
maria geable I 4les and hundreds of
thousands of "a m are being compelled
to make ill& sorted marriages in
which the man, in nearly every case.
is the weaker partner.
''In that way women are gaining the
aScendency and it is a certainty that
any society ruled by women will lack
intellectual courage, logic and initia-
tive. Women married to men who are
their interiors will become embittered
with life. Their experience will dis
courage other women who are think
ing of marriage. Presently we will
find a whole body of women, with a
large and active majority of unmar-
ried women controlling things. and
men will have a very unhappy time. !"

DAMS WILL PREVENT FLOODS
Catastrophe That Overwhelmed the
City Of Pueblo Can Be Avoided
by Proper Action.

A disastrous flood occurs, causing
a loss of many human lives and mil
lions of dollars worth of property.
What happens next? What precautions
are taken to prevent disaster?
Usually what happens is that the suf-
fering community cOurageously under
takes the task of reconstruction. The
flood is called an ''act of God" and
confidence is felt that there will be
no repetition of the calamity. But
the conditions that gave rise to the
disaster continue to exist, and such
being the case, there is no assurance
that it will not repeat itself.
If the catastrophe that overwhelmed
the city of Pueblo is not to be repeated,
again and yet again perhaps, pre-
ventive measures must be adopted.
Dams must be built and reservoirs
constructed at the headwaterS of the
Arkansas river to impound it's floods.
The government reclamation service
points out that floods not less destruc-
tive might occur in any year on the
Rio Grande if the waters of that
stream were not held in leash by the
great Elephant Butte dam. BefOre
that dam, with it's vast reservoir, was
constructed. flood time and again
wreaked havoc in the vicinity of Ell
PasO.
The Elephant Butte dam is one Of
the greatest engineering works on the
globe. 1t is 306 feet high, nearly one
third Of q mile long, and creates the
largest irrigation reservoir in the world
an artificial lake covering 63 square
miles and averaging 20 feet in depth.
The water contained in the reservoir
would cover the whole state of Con
necticut to a depth of ten inches.
Development of similar works on the
headwaters of the Arkansas river
would not only prevent future floods,
but would store water. for irrigating
hundreds of thousands of acres. and
furnish water power for all the manu-
featuring industries in that part of
the country.

Squirrels and Robins Fight.

A fierce lawn battle between forces
of squirrels and robins has been
observed in Mount Vernon. N. 7. The
squirrels and robins on Eleventh
avenue, Mount Vernon. have declared
war upon each other, and each day the
battles are wageing bigger and fiercer.
Residents on Eleventh avenue have for
some time thrown peanuts on their
lawns for the squirrels and bread
crusts for the birds Of the neighbor-
hood. Three weeks ago a few robins
after eating the bread helped them
selves to peanuts. and the squirrels
ran away. The first day q few squir-
rels attacked the robins and there
was a short but furious fight in which
the squirrels saved their suppers. The
second day about twenty robins
swooped down and the squirrels were
routed. The third day the squirrels
returned reinforced by an equal num-
Der and there was a battle royal for
quarter Of an hoIr. It was drawn
battle. both sides leaving most of their
peanuts and crusts on the field.

When you play one Of your phono-

1t is said that at depth Of only
200 fathoms the light of the unclouded
sun penetrating the ocean is reduced
to equality with the starlight Of
clear night on the surface. At more
profound depths the sunlight Is en-
tirely extinguished. Yet there are
both light and color in the abysses,
and at the bottom Of the sea. The
light is Of phosphorescent origin, and
it may be remarked that in general the
