light and tie crew were able to read
their pocket Bibles by the glow, which
was estimated at 10 watts per eel.
When Seamcn brought some OF these
Acknowledged cells on deck, Captain
Terrible said, the ships dynamos were
short circuted and there was the dick

But Skipper Terrible hadn't finished.
While the Denis was tied up at the

DISEASE CARRIED BY INSECTS
Small Creatures Not Only otfenalve,
but Constitute Positive Men
ace to Health.

The role of insects in the transmits.
sion Of diseases Is becoming more
prominent each year, according to the
Jculpal Of the American Medical AS.
ISOLATION.
The fly, the mosquito the flea and
the "cootie" have come to represent
not merely offensive nulsances to man
but also positive menaces to his
health. The habits of these insects
have therefore become OF interest TO
the medical investigator and the san
itary expert no less than to the ento.
mologist.
It has been definitely determined
that the last named of these disease
carriers Is sensitive to temperatures
that approach the body temperature of
man. Owing TO the high temperature
Of the body In summer, they wander
out on ordinary garments. For the
same reason they wander away from
persons in fever. 1t is recorded that
persons leaving temperate climate for
the tropics may become freed from
these pests.
1t has also been found that black
clothing may repel them, for the rea.
son that It absorbs more heat rays
than lighter colors. Perspiratlon, in.
duced by warm clothing will also
hasten the exodus, since the "cootle''
does rot tolerate excessive moisture.

Fire God plverts Flow Of Lava.

During the recent lava flow down
the side of Mauna Loa on the island of
Hawaii an ancient Chinese farmer
looked out of his doorway to see the
molten mass making straight for his
hut. Panic stricken he called upon all
the gods he had ever heard OF to
spare his home and his farm, but to
no avail until an old Hawaiian helper
screamed, pray to Pill"-the Ha-
wallan God Of Fire. The Oriental fell
upon his knees aud prayed loudly and
earnestly. To his great relief the flow
changed Its course Just in time by max
ing an almost right angle turn with
out apparent cause, flowed on past his
home, and then made sharp turn
back to It's original course. Proof OF
this freak Of the iow is furnished by
the now solicited lava which sur.
rounds the farm on three sides.
