Light on the Depths.

1t is said that ut depth of only
200 fathoms the light of the unclouded
sun penetrating the ocean is reduced
to equality with the starlight of n
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
1t may be remarked that in general the
fixed marine forms of life are not be-
hind their free swimming allies in
light-emitting powers. There are IL
luminations produced by the move
ments Of abyssal fishes through the
forests of phosphorescent sea-pens,
fan corals, red corals, and other Alcy-
onaria. The colors of deep-sea animals
are both brilliant and varied.

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

The use of flytraps for catching
screw-worm flies is new idea as
means of combating those abominable
insects, and has already proved de
cidedly effective. They are first.

and especially in southwest Texas.
Cattle and other livestock suffer
much from their attacks, their habit

pupae, they come out, drop to the
ground and bury themselves to await
metamorphosis into flies. The screw.
worm files are typical meat flies, and
the carcass of any dead animal quickly
becomes a hatchery for them. Hence,
In the region afflicted by them, it
is very important that all carcasses
shall be promptly destroyed, preferably
by burning. Occasionally it happens
that human beings are attacked.

Squirrels and Robins Fight.

A fierce lawn battle between forces
Of squirrels and robins has been
observed in Mount Vernon. N. Y. 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 u 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-
ber and there was a battle royal for
a quarter of an hour. 1t was drawn
battle, both sides leaving most of their
peanuts and crusts on the field.

Plant Juice for Fish Bait,

Late in the dry season, when the
rivers are low in the heart of Africa,
the Gwari, who inhabit the central
Soudan, set out on prolonged fishing
expeditions. The natives who live on
the banks of the rivers are proficient
fishermen, taking great pride in their
work. but the village Gwari are not
very sporting in their methods. They
go out for the final results rather
than for the pleasure of the sport
They pour the juice of locust tree
pods into the pools, to which the
streams have shrunk, and this causes
the fish to leap out of the water.
Wildly they leap. Hopping out on the
dry river bottom as often as not, but
the excited natives do not wait for the
fish to catch themselves. They lean
over the shallow water, finding great
delight in snatching the leaping fish
as they flash from the river.
This custom of using the Jump
juice seems to have been handed
down from time immemorial among
these strange Africans.

the result Of a lot of mighty hard
work, which may have included con.
siderable storming by the director and
tears on the part of the artist. Some
artists simply cannot sing for the rec
ords at all, while others are nervous
wrecks for days after a session of re-
cording.
To sing into recording horn may
look easy-just as 1t may look easy
for baseball player to hit ball
over the fence for home run-but
In reality 1t is one of the most diff
cult. nerve-racking things anyone can
attempt.
On the concert stage a singer with
good voice may make little mis-
takes without the audience noticing
them. II he mas an attractive pres
ence and an engaging manner, he may
even sing bit Off key and yet make
a hit. But the wax master record is
a relentless mirror, with no mercy for
the imperfections that the average art
ist-like other human beings-is
guilty Of. The slightest waver OF
strain in the voice, the slightest devia.
tion from the true pitch, comes out
badly. And the very fear of making
these mistakes and flaws "hoodoo"
most singers into making them.
The result is that many a popular
stage artist has met defeat in the
laboratory.

Last of Three Friends.

Chauncey NJ. Depew is the last OF
three distinguished friends. of whom
General Horace Porter and Joseph
II. Choate are dead, remarks the
Detroit News. They were for years
link between the present generation
and that of Civil war days. General
Porter campaigned with Grant and
was present when Lee surrendered
All three were noted orators. General
Porter was regarded as having the
superior mentality and his achieve
ments as soldier, diplomat and rail
road financier and builder made him
most conspicuous.
Choate's oratory was closely associ
ated with his winning personality.
Depew's addresses are notable for
their spontaneous humor and wit, while
General Porter drafted speeches with
infinite care and delivered them with
impressive intensity and sincerity.

MATTER OF DEATH IN DOUBT
Mans Being Pronounced Dead
Makes Him Legally So.

Al F. Williams, United States DIS
trict attorney for Kansas, received IA
letter a short time ago asking his opln-
ion as to the status of person upon
whom a death sentence has been eSe
cuted, who has been legally pro
nounced dead, but afterwards regaias
consciousness and RECEIVERS.
The case cited was that of FIVE ban
dts who were convicted of highway
robbery in the province of Cagayan,
Philippine Islands. and sentenced to
die by the old Spanish method OF
strangulation. After the execution the
Eve bandits were placed ON the floo-
of church to await funeral rites in
the morning. In the night three re-
gained consciousness Two of the
three died ''again" in couple of days,
but one recovered, although left In q
deformed condition.
The questions asked are whether the
bandit who lived could be strangled
again, or, II he could not, would the
fact that he was legally pronounced
dead prevent his being tried In the
courts II he committed another crime
Mr.. Williams wrote an opinion to the
inquiring person. declaring that he be-
lieved that an order could be obtained
from the court setting aside the first
execution as having never been per
formed and another one ordered.
His opinion was that If the bandit
were not killed, finally, he could be
held amenable for other crimes, al
though legally he was not in existence.
"Of course" Mr.. Williams said, 'you
will probably find as many lawyers
and judges disagreeing with my opin-
ion as concurring."

all about ii, but what have seen OF II

The association neglects no promising
field of service. The magnitude and
many-sidedness of its operations are

sistant military attache at London ana
on the British front in Flanders, and
was with the American Army of Oc-
scupation in Germany. For his valu-
able work he was awarded the Brit
ish Military Cross. Recently he wrote
"Washington Close-Ups," series of
character sketches of eminent figures
in the national capital, which the
country is reading with vast enjoyment.
For two years Mr.. Lowry has been
making a close study of the business
of the government. He is given credit
In congress for his aid in passing the
budget bill and in bringing about the
naming of the joint committee of the
house and senate to investigate and
report upon the administration and or
ganization of the government executive
departments. He now wants the peo-
pie of the United States to know the
details of the United States govern
ment, which Is their business. He be-
lieves the knowledge of these details
will make of them better Americans
and give them better government
No man not imbued with Mr.. Low
ry's high ideal could have carried out
this study of the government business
so exhaustively and painstakinSly as
has he. Probably he now knows more
about it than any other man in the
world. With extraordinary persever-
ance and dogged persistence he went
after hidden facts and rnultifarious de-
tails-and got them. Nothing was too
big for his comprehension or too small
for his attention. At one time he went
to a member of the cabinet with the
statement that the government had on
its payrolls, exclusive of the officers
and men of the army and navy, one
employee for each 6S people of the
United States ten years of age and
over engaged in gainful occupations.
1t took that cabinet officer, with the
assistants he had at his command. a
considerable time, and considerable eff
fort to verify Mr.. Lowry's statement
but he found it to be true
AS the result of his careful studies
Mr.. Lowry has written series of ar
ticles on the business of government
income and expense; where the money
comes from, and how and for what it
is spent; whether the organization of
the business side of government is eff
Client or inefficient; whether the gov
ernment wastes the money we give it.
The series is not in any sense politi-
cal. 1t is not an attack, not muck
raking expedition. 1t recites facts,
conceded, acknowledged facts. These
facts come from the men in the gov
ernment-from the government itself
and they are all facts that every
American citizen is entitled to know
and should know.
The series of articles on this subject
Of "Where Your Taxes Go" will be
carried in these columns. They should
be read by every American who is in
terested In the welfare Of the nation

self means that he has broad and deep
knowledge of national and world af
fairs; that he is skillful in getting the
news and tactful in writing it, and
that he has the confidence of the pub
lie men with whom he comes In con-
tact. But Mr.. Lowry has more than
that. He has the really patriotic feel
ing that the intimate knowledge of the
nations affairs, which he acquires
through his work in Washington
should be impaired to the people of
the country who have not his privileges,
in such a way that they will be led to
take that personal interest in the doings
Of the government, which alone will
result in good government. He wants
the people to realize that 1t Is their
government, answerable to them only,
and that they only are responsible
for Its good qualities and its bad quail
tiles. 1t is this feeling that has In
spired much of Mr.. Lowry's best work.
Born in Atlanta in 1876, Mr.. Lowry
was educated in private schools. the
Georgia Military institute and by priv
ate tutors, and began his journalistic
career at the age of twenty-four. In
1904 he was sent to Washington and
has been there almost continuously
ever since. He has been the political
correspondent of Harper's Weekly, has
written many articles for the periodi-
cal press and since 1913 has been the
Washington correspondent of the New
York Evening Post, and for consid-
cradle time the managing editor of
that paper. When Germany started
the World war the government natur-
ally found important work for Mr..
Lowry. For two years he was at
tached to the American embassy in
London, and then he returned to be-
come captain in the aviation section
of the signal CORPS. Then he was as,

The late William Dean Howells, one
of our best loved authors and literary
authorities, said Of Kathleen Norris:
"She puts the problem, or the fact, or
the trait before you by quick, vivid
touches of portraiture or action. II
she lacks the final touch Of Frank Nor
ris' power, she has the compensating
gift of more controlled and concen-
trated observation"
Kathleen Norris is one of that mod
ern school which is bringing the Pa
cific Coast into such prominence as
seat of literary. ability. She was born
in San Francisco and has been writing
since 1910. She has contributed short
stories and serials to all the leading
