RustIess Steel.

Rustless steel seems to be a COM
pletely established fact and 1t should
be looked into for. employment in
various industries, according to the
Compressed Air Magazine (New York; j..
Says this publication: cit is reported
on German authority that the Krupp
works are paying special attention to
the production of such steel. THE
metal contains a large amount OF
chrome and is said to be remarkable
for its hardness and strength. Its
resistance to chemical action is such
that it is not affected by boiling in
nitric acid. 1t is used as a substitute
for nickeI-plated metal in the manu-
facture of instruments. The firm is
also studying the question of using
rustless steel in the manufacture of
plates for artificial teeth in place of
the gold or vulcanite now generally
employed"

Lack Dramas in Verse.

1t Is a curious thing, in the present
high tide of the drama, and remember
ing that the glory of English literature
is its poetry, that we have no good
modern English drains in verse. 1t is
all the more remarkable because the
foremost French dramatist and the
foremost modern German dramatist
wrote their masterpieces in verse form
-"Cyrano de Bergerac" by Rostand
and Die Versunkene Glocke," by
Hauptmann.
John Masefield, when he writes
plays. writes them In prose, with only
slight exceptions. And so, for the most
part, have Synge, Yeats, Lord Dun
sany, and others. George Meredith
might have written poetic dramas in
the Ellzabethan manner. Thomas
Hardy's "Dynasts" is an intellectual
rather than a poetic masterpiece-it
has nothing of the sublime emotional,
thrilling, transporting power of Ros-
tand. We admire the authors mind
more than the work.-William Lyon
Phelps in the Yale Review.

PROVIDED HER WITH FORTUNE
Effective Answer of Irish Judge to
Defendants Plea in Breach of
Promise Suit.

Irish legal celebrity, Judge Murphy,
mentioned by Judge Bodkin in "Recol-
lections of an Irish Judge" delivered
very effective charge to jury in an
action for breach of promise. The
defendant was not examined, and the
Judge commented strongly on this fact.
He was interrupted by the protest of
the defendant.
You have no right to say that, my
lord; sure, l wanted to be examined
and my counselor wouldn't let me-"
"AIl right, my man." said the
Judge; "come up on the table and be
sworn. Why didn't you marry the
girlT"
Because she hadn't the fortune
wanted. my lord"
How much was thatf"
Five hundred pounds, no less"
Gentlemen Of the jury" said the
judge, concluding his charge, you will
find for the plaintiff five hundred
pounds damages. Now sir Ito the de
fendanO, she has the fortune you
want"

Seals Counted Like Sheep.

The only herd of wild animals In
the world of which q yearly census
Is taken are the fur seals of the
Pribiloff islands, in the Boring sea.
Once they numbered between five and
six million, but they were slaughtered
so ruthlessly for their skins that by
1908 there were less than hundred
thousand on the islands. Now they
are protected by international agree
ment, and the herd is mustered and
counted every year just like a flocs
of sheep.

FLEA FOR THE SMALL BIRDS
Writer Calls Attention to Their Vast
Services in Staying the RaVages
of Insects.

He is no sportsman, and vandal
sort of butcher. who shoots the
small birds, which no stretch of in
genuity can bring within the definition
of game.
In some European countries such
shooting is termed sport, and some inn
migrants have brought the bad habit
with them. All hunters and sports
men should discourage, or when pos
sible, WITHOUT resOrting TO too severe
measures. put a stop to such butchery.
And that not simply because We ought
to, and sensible folk do like to hear
and see the little things about, but
also because of the actual benefits
they confer upon mankind.
Michelet, the French naturalist and
historian, says in his Insect Life"
that if all the birds were destroyed
man could not live On earth more than
nine years. He believed that without
birds to check the ravages of insects,
the insects would first destroy the
growing crops of grain, next the grass
and the folifee, which would leave
nothing on which to feed cattle, hogs,
sheep or poultry. The crops having
been destroyed, all domestic animals
would perish for want of food, and
man in his extremity, in a barren and
deSolate world, would be driven to the
necessity of living entirely on fish.
When the supply of fish was exhausted
he would starve.-Montreal Family

CHRISTOPHER CAMPAIGN.
SUCCESSFUL.

The campaign that was started
the first of March by the Farm Blu
reaus of the county to destroy the
grasshopper eggs has proven very
successful. All of the farmers
who had land infested by grass
hopper eggs have been urged to
cultivate it in order to expose the
eggs to the element, so they would
be destroyed. From a survey of the
fields it is estimated that IS per
cent of the infested alfalfa and
waste lands have been worked to
bring the eggs to the surface. Au-
thorities tell us that cultivation is
by far the most effectual way OF
destroying the grasshoppers, SO that
people who have not already cul-
tivated should do so within the
next few weeks if they care to help
in the fight against this destructive
pest. The eggs that are left I'M
disturbed will hatch as soon as
warm weather comes and begin an.
other life cycle, rob us of a large
share of our crops and deposit the
eggs for the next years brood.
