There can be no hnistaking the
meaning of the New Mexico result. II
points the way to Republican victory
in 1922. Throughout the state cam
paign it was understood that the cleo.
tion had a national sginificance-that
it was being viewed nationally as a
referendum on the Republican admin
istration in Washington. Our Demo
cratic opponents even stressed that
fact. The result speaks for itself.
Naturally Republicans everywhere are
Sratified. but they are by no means
surprised. New Mexico only reflects
public opinion throughout the nation.
The Republican national administra-
tion is keeping faith with the people
and the people have abundant and
abiding confidence in It.

NEW YORK, Oct 2O.-Evidence
that the financial interests are not
worried over prospects is furnished
in the reduction to per cent OF the
retfiscount rate of the Federal Re-
serve Bank of New York. This Is
the first time since 1914 that the
rediscount rate has been as low as
per cent. This is the fifth reduction
of interest rates made by the Federal
Reserve Bank since the first Of March,
at which time the rediscount rate was

York bank is expected to be followed
soon by similar reductions in other
Federal Reserve districts.

k,rcHIN's NEMESIS IN A PEANUT

l
Commenting on the organization OF

sentative Kitchin's home, the Repub.
lican Publicity Association, through
it's president, Hon Jonathan Bourne
Jr., says:
In Scotland Neck, North Carolina.

in the House of Representatives, they
have formed a peanut growers eX-
change for the purpose OF negotiating
S5,O0O,O0O loan from the War FL
nance Corporation to help handle the
present crop of peanuts in North
Carolina and Virginia
Think of the irony of it
"Kitchin's party favors free trade
and yet the United States imported
for the 1920-21 season almost $4,000
900 pounds of peanuts, of which A.
100000 pounds were shelled. During
the preceding year the United States
imported the equivalent of 192,000,0O0
pounds of unshelled nuts. Most of
the importations came from the
Orient, where the cheapest kind of
labor is employed in the production of
the nuts and in the shelling. In addi-
ton, this country imported huge guam
titles of peanut oil, which represents
not only the nuts but the labor en-
ployed in extracting the oil.
Possibly, if he were asked the di-
rect question as to this one COM
modify, Mr.. Kitchin would say that
he favors high import duty on pea
nuts, for revenue only, but that an
swer would be insincere. A man who
is for protection only on the COM
modities produced in his own district
and under the subterfuge of revenue,
is no protectionist at all. If every
Congressman were for free trade on
all commodities except those of his
bwn district, there would be no pro-
tective tariff on any commodity. I'm

gress want general protective tariff
wants general protective tariff law,
however much he may stand for pro-

But in another respect this action
of his fellow townsmen must be a
bitter pill for Mr.. Kitchin. 1t was his

Ooo,0oo,000 miles. This is something like 100,
100000 times the distance around the world II
is 100000 times the distance from the eartE
to the moon.
If an astronomical unit is sought which shall
be contained in it moderate number of times
about the smallest one that can be considered is
the 35,500,c00 miles that represents the minimum
distance from the earth to Mars. The quotient
in this case is paltry 10000, which represents
the number of times that the population of the
world could walk to Mars in year. Going down
again to a fraction of the human race it can
be shown that the population Of New York city
walk in "a hours the distance to Mars when he &
closest TO the earth.
The inquisitive statistician might then ash
how much work is done in connection with all this
hypothetical pedestrianism. Well, the average
weight Of man, woman and child is about I25
pounds; the population Of the continental
United States carries around with it at each of
its hypothetical steps about 100000 tons. Lest
this seem too severe load, it may be added that
for the worlds total population the figure mounts
to 100000 tons. Verify, alongside this show
ing, Atlas, if he had to carry no more of the
world than the ancients who created him knew
about, would be what is known in the current
tongue as 'piker."

as they do to nearly everything else put together
1t remained, however. for one man. Charles
Urban, to solve this problem. Acting on a novel
suggestion that embraced the essentials of a sim
pie motion picture machine for the home Mr.. Ur-
ban has perfected device that is said to obviate
all danger of fire, which means all the danger
there is. He has done this by getting rid of the
"roll film" idea altogether and using in its stead
a spiral record, much on the order of the talking
machine record. Hence the name of his machine:
the "spirograph"
In describing his novel motion picture ma
chine Mr.. Urban says the idea was to transfer
in the spiral form on to glass negative the exact
Photographic images in miniature in the same
consecutive order on the original standard film.
"From these glass negative plates" the in
ventor goes on to explain, "any quantity of posi-
tive non-inhammable and non-curling records
can be made by the simple method of contact
printing of the entire series of pictures within
few seconds, instead Of the expensive methods

tates in all roll-film prcjecss. Herein lies the
economy.
eve have based our expe7 mental work on the
use of an eight-inch diameta record, having in
mind the original size of the talking machine
records. 1t has been decided however, that the
l0ss inch diameter record viii be the most eff.
fective and convenient as well as the most eco
nomical
each record contains 1900 pictures and is
equal to 83 feet of roll film, but in its use it will
be equal to great deal more than that--104 feet
actually. The reason for this is that the spiro-
graph will be stopped when it comes to titles and
no record space will be used up until the title is
read In other projectors this is not possible the
roll film is in motion all the time and the titles
are simply repeated the film moves until the
audience has had time to read them. This means
Is to 20 per cent. waste, which does not occur
in the spirograph."
Mr.. Urban considers the record the important
part of his spirograph, though the projecting ma
chine is unique in its simpl city and utility. 1t

EW persons are aware of the fact that bees
were the originators of embalming. 1t hap
pens sometimes that stranger enters their
hive, and often the enemy is too large heavy to
be cast out.
A slug, for instance, might make its way into
the beehive. The bees pounce upon the unwanted
intruder and proceed to sting him to death
The problem now presents itself to the intelli-
gent bees as to the best method of Kidding the
hive Of the slugs carcass. They evidently are
aware that if left the hive would become infected
by the presence of dead body, so the embalming
process is commenced
EntomoIogists explain that this is done by en-
casing the remains of the slug in propolis sub
opening buds of poplar and other trees. The pro-
polls thus prevents the slug's body decaying.
But if a snail sneaks into the hive, the process
is even simpler As soon as the snail receives
sting he retires into his shell. Then the artful
bees just wall him in with propolis, and, without
troubling to shift the shell, securely cement 1t to
the floor of the hive. The tomb of the snail thus
becomes part and parcel of the hive.
The poison injected when wasp or a bee
stings has paralyzing effect on the nerve-cells
of small victim such a caterpillar. It acts
ike chloroform, making the victim unconscious
But its effect does not wear off; it lasts.
Sometimes the singing is fatal to the victim,
and one French authority, NJ. Roubaud, suggests
that the poison may act like an antiseptie, pre-
venting the body from rotting. In other words,
the presence Of the poison may counterfeit bac-
terra which cause decomposition. This is likely

1t should also be noted that severe singing

Now che particularly interesting port is this,
that many predatory wasps make a arder OF
caterpillars and the like round about cir eggs,

out, and it is advantageous that this fo d should

victim is paralyzed, for the cells of the body re-
main alive.
A French naturalist, NJ Hollande, recently
examined % small caterpillars from the larder of
a fury wasp, and found that all were ali e; except
hat their nervous systems were paraly ed. And,
even if the victims die, it may be that lie poison
acts as preservative, but this require testing.
