Priceless Letters Recently
Uncovered by Martyrs
Love of Fellow Men.

A BRAHAM LINCOLN, the Man
of Mercy, was born 113 years
ago today.
On n frontier farm that was
little more than a clearing in the
primeval wilderness Of Hardin
County, Kentucky, he made his
obscure entry into life.
Had q soothsayer made 4 Pill
grimage to the rude cabin that
day, viewed its poverty and isola-
tion, or spoken to the shiftless,
illiterate father, he could have
found nothing that foretold the
man who was to steady a totter-
ing nations destinies-the giant
in spiritual power who was to wage
to victory the bitterest war of our
history and still be acclaimed the
Nan of Mercy. The seer could
have done no more than speculate
vaguely on the perfect number
seven" present in tho letters of
his given and family names.
Documents Newly Revealed
1t is Lincoln, the Man of Mercy,
that is particularly revealed IN the
group of almost priceless docu-
ments recently collected by G..
Lynn Sumner for the library of
the international Correspondence
Schools. All of them are of great
value and interest. One is wholly
unique. For it preserves in one
manuscript a plea for a soldier

endorsement by Senator Charles

self, 1t was a case in which Lincoln

Insects Equipped
With Radio Power
Moths and Mosquitoes Communicate
by Means Of Vibrating Antennae
Protruding from Heads

Most inhabitants of the civilized
world are familiar with the develop
ment of radiophone and wireless tele-
graph.
They have followed the work of
scientists in giving to mankind the
use of these wonderful inventions.
They know about Alexander Graham
Bell and his work with the telephone.
They know about Marconi and his ac-
complishments in wireless telegraphy.
But few are aware that some of the
smallest insects which inhabit the
fields and more especially those COM
mon to households-the moth and the
mosquito-ewer equipped by nature
with this method of transmitting mes
sages to each other centuries before
the advent of mans communication
devices.
Some day when you are cleaning
out closet and find a moth or when
mosquito which has just bitten into
your shins flies off with a singing
noise, try to capture it. If you are
fortunate enough to have with you a
microscope, you will learn that the in
sects are equipped with antennae.
These antennae, you will discover,
are similar to the aerials used in
wireless telegraphy. They protrude
from the head of the moth and mos
quito and are long, slender poles with
fine, hair-like, vibrating wires, which
produce sound waves similar to those
transmitted by wireless apparatus.
They are known to many persons
who have followed entomology as
feelers or horns. But if you are tc
believe the recent tests made by Ger.
tain entymologists, they are used fol
communicating with their fellows.
Little bound waves emanate from
these minute antennae. They are
carried for distances of more than {
mile. This distance in bug life i!
tremendous.
Recently an experiment with fe
male moth was tried. The moth wa
in a cocoon. 1t was taken home ant
kept in box. After due course o.
time the insect was Matched. 1t wa
confined to the box for several day
and then released to a glass case. II
less than twenty-four hours moths b.

case in which the moth was housed.

cate with each other by means Of tn
sense of smell. In this instance, how

ARDEN GROWING
Single-Tax Colony Needs
More Ground for Cottages

The village of Arden, famous for
its single-tax ideas, is planning to ex-
pand beyond the narrow confines of
the 160-acre plat upon which it now
stands. Trustees of the village are
at the present time endeavoring to
purchase an adjoining tract of 100
acres and if the deal goes through
many additional cottages will be built
in the near future.
The single-taxers founded the
Arden colony about twenty-five years
ago in an effort to demonstrate the
feasibility of the economic theories of
Henry George, and at that time
cherished the hope that some day the
rest of the State would be annexed
to Arden.
While this hope has not been real
lied, yet the colony has grown so
rapidly that during the last few years
hundreds of applicants for plats have
been turned away because all of the
available sites were gone. The colony
now boasts more than $50 lease-hold-
ers, most of whom have built COM
Portable cottages.

NEW CLUB HOUSE
New Century Club of George
town to Have Building

In large cities where there are many
halls for public use, and where build
ings for meetings of all kinds are
easily rented, the lack of such build
ings in country towns can hardly be
understood; yet it is fact that in
many towns there is no building of
any kind beyond small town hall,
which would be crowded with hun
dred people.
To meet this demand the women of
many towns have constructed COM
munity houses, where town dances
can be held, local dramatic per-
formances given and where different
organizations can secure room for a
small sum.
Georgetown is the latest town in
Delaware to plan such a structure,
the women of the New Century Club
being back of the plan. They have
planned an up-to-date club house and
many affairs of the town will be held
there.
Newark post., 1922-05-24

for this sense to be brought into use.
The antennae, by close attention,
could be detected gently vibrating.
Many insects are supposed not to
have auditory organs. Yet it is proved
that all sound-producing insects must
have ears with which to hear. The
usual antennae of the moth are COM
posed of microscopic pits filled with
a fluid. To these pits go fine nerve
whose fibres end in a staff like sense
cells.
The eyes of the average insect are
very poor. They enable them to dis
tinguish only daylight from darkness.
Or at the very most near objects. The
bee and the butterfly have color sense
in that they are gifted with the power
to discern bright colors.
Professor Herman Hornig, enty-
mologist for Philadelphia, conducted
an experiment with moths, and states
he is thoroughly convinced they have,
by means of wireless, a method of
communicating with each other. He
also states he had discussed the mat
ter with eminent scientists, who ex-
pressed belief in this gift of nature to
the moth and mosquito.
He said anyone can take a male
mosquito and place it under a tum-
bier, thus shutting off air. If any
other insects in the neighborhood are
singing or waving their antennae the
male mosquito will Immediately re-
spond by frantically waving its an
tennae. This, he contends, indicates
that message has reached the i'm
prisoned insect.
