Traps Have Proved Effective Methods
Of Getting Rid Of hSman and
Animal Pests.

The use Of fiytraps for catching
screw-worm flies Is a new idea as a
means Of combating those abominable
insects, and has already proved de-
cidedly effective. They are a 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 eggs4n 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 the
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 oil carcasses
shall be promptly destroyed, preferably
by burning. Occasionally It happens
that human beings are attacked.
A fiy crawls up the nostrils Of a sleep
ing person and lays its eggs. The
larvae Matched from them invade the
sinuses, and death is likely to result.

MATTER OF DEATH IN DOUBT
Authorities Puzzled as to Whether
Mans Being Pronounced Dead
Makes Him Legally So.

Al #. Williams, United States dis
trict attorney for Kansas, received a
letter short time ago asking his opin-
ION as to the status of person upon
whom death sentence has been exc
cnted, who has been legally pro-
nounced dead, but afterwards regains
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
i've bandits were placed on the floor
Of a 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 a
deformed condition.
The questions asked are whether the
bandit who lived could be strangled
again, or, if he could rot, would the
fact that he was legally pronounced
dead prevent his being tried in the
courts If he committed another crime.
Nr. Williams wrote an opinion to the
tnQulring 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
snd judges disagreeing with my opin-
ion as concurring"

SUCCESSFUL BUTTER MAKING
Work ls Not Difficult, but scrupuious
Cleanliness Must Be Observed
at Every Stage.

prepared by the United States Deparr
ment of Agricultural
The best foods In the world are
available to the farm home which
cares to raise and prepare them. GOOD
butter freshly churned several times a
week is one of the luxuries incident
to life on the farm, and more than re-
PAYS the home butter maker Tor the
trouble involved The work Is not dlr-
ficult but scrupulous cleanliness must
be observed at every stage. All uten-
sils should be washed and scaided be-
fore and after churning.
The first consideration is the cream,
which should contain about 80 per cent
butterfat. A gallon of cream OF this
standard will yield about three POUNDS
of butter. It is better to churn the
cream. not the whole milk. The cream
should be cooled Immediately after II
comes from the separator and kept as
cold as possible until the time Tor
ripening, which should be done at
temperature between 65 degrees Fab
renheit and rs degrees Fahrenheit.
When the cream is mildly sour, 1t
should be cooled to churning tempera-
ture or below and held so for at least
two hours before churning begins.
Successful butter-making depends
largely on the temperature at which
churning is done, but there Is no one
temperature proper for every season
of the year. Churning is mechanical
process, and If 1t Is done under the
same conditions on one day as on an
other the results should be Identical.
The temperature is the factor which
must be varied to get uniform results.
There is nothing in the old supersti-
lions regarding butter-making, such as
turning the churn backwards or put
ting horseshoe nail into 1t to make
the butter come. If the temperature
is too low, the churning period is un-
necessarily prolonged, or it may be
impossible to obtain butter. Too high
a churning temperature is also to be
avoided because butterfat will be lost,
the butter viii be soft and will not
keep well.
Butter will come In ten minutes at
too high a churning temperature, or
even in seven. with some patent

WORLD HEARS NEWS QUICKLY
But One Hundred Years Ago the Horse
Was the Only Means Of rapid"
Communication.

A few hours after Caruso died the
civilized world knew of 1t and was In
mourning. A hundred years ago
Napoleon died, on May 8, 1S21-and
1t was exactly sixty days before the
world received the news, the New York
Evening Post states.
Though the English were expecting
his death at any moment and had made
every preparation to have word trans
mltted from st. Helena to England
with all possible dispatch, 1t was not
until July a, that the news reached
London. having been brought there by
the sailing vessel Heron. In accor-
dance with the spirit of the times,
the message was not given out on the
arrival Of the vessel, but was first con-
veyed to the colonial office, an act
which required approximately two
hours In itself.
July 4, 1921, fell on Wednesday.
On Friday, July 6, the news reached
Paris. Messengers were dispatched
from Paris to Germany, where the
newspapers commented on the death
of General Bonaparte" for the first
time on July II, sixty-eight days after
the event had taken place. And this
notice was In paper published at
Mayence, then virtually a French
town.
The vossische Zeltung, founded IN
1904 and then, as now, the leading
German daily, contained no notice OF
Napoleon's death until July IA, and
then 1t merely copied the London
Times. Private individuals living In
the provinces, regardless Of their
station in life, received the news much
later. 1t was not conveyed to Goethe,
then living at Weimar, until the very
last of July. He. received 1t In
letter bearing black seal.

It 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 q
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 corafs, and other Alley
onaria. The colors of deep-sea animals
are both brilliant and varied.
