Who put the fire in firefly ana

If he were living today he easily
could become a millionaire over

Because the light produced oy
these tiny creatures is in many re,

The animal light produced by these
living organisms is known as coIu
light because it produces no neat

For every gas or arc or electric

The more heat, the less light. Ana
the less heat. the more light.
So. you see, the light produced py

Silas Wright Titus, the water
Wizard" is dead. Since boyhood, 1t
is said that he never failed to find
underground water when he went af-
ter it. He made water-hunting his
life work. One Of his big Jobs was
locating the under ground water that
supplies Brooklyn, n. Y, 100000
gallons a day.
No matter how peculiar a demand
rises, up from the people always
comes some man intuitiveIy fitted to
handle the job. We may be masters
Of our own destinies, but there's a
wonderful system back Of 1t all, dis
tributing human abilities to meet de-
mands.

HOW DOES THE GLOW WORM GLOW

saving millions of dollars every year
in illumination.
Here's an opportunity for you If
you've a scientific mind and If you
want to make a fortune out Of an In
teresting hobby.
The light given off by glow worms
and fireflies is called biolumines-
cence. That's pronounced -o-loom-
i-nes-ens with the accent on the
mes" 1t means light of life"
Besides fire ciies and glow worms,
this light is produced by certain fish,
animals and bacteria The glow
worm is nothing but larva or baby
firefly but the organ producing the
light is quite different in the two
creatures.
In the FREELY the light merely
shines through the skin. which is
transparent. Certain cells ne9r the
skin are devised especially for pro
ducing light.
These cells are filled with lumin-
Gus substance which when the prop
er chemical reaction takes place,
glows brilliantly.
Scientists have devoted nH1h re-
search to analyze the substance that

produce this glow but the ultimate
chemical composition is highly COM
plete and more or less OF a mystery
Scientists likewise have made de-
tailed examination Of these light
producing organs and have found
that the cells are very complicated
and very beautifully designed.
Men of learning say "the light cells
proper are often equipped with re-
Electors. lenses. opaque screens and
color screens"
So everything that man las de-

Witches

Every farmer has seen or heard OF
travelling water witches" who
claimed to be able to locate water
wells by divining rods. These rods
usually are peach twigs or witch
hazel wands which, the witches
claim, dip when running water lies
beneath.
The divining rod is the basis of
many a swindle by takers who claim
to be able to locate oil or gold with
them.
Now comes G M. Butler, director
Of the Arizona bureau of mines. He
has perfected and applied for patents
on an electrical apparatus for locat-
ing underground deposits of ore.
Witchcraft of yesterday is scien-

Help Doctor Diagnose If You'd Be Cured

OF course, the moral is that q pa
tient in seeking medicaFadvice shoul
patient in seeking medical advice
should always be more than willing
to answer all the doctors foolish"
questions, answer them fully ana
cheerfully since this is the quickest
and surest way to get true dag
nosis and thus to treatment OF the
ailment.
The physician may ask what seems
to be foolish and irrelevant ques-
tions. He is merely endeavoring to
probe to the source. When you go
to a doctor to have a medical ex-
animation or to seek advice, II is
well to be prepared to answer any
and all questions.

Record

Mrs. Mary Patrick Casale gives
birth to her twenty first child, al
Newark, N. ]. Eighteen of her chill
dren are living. The Oldest is 26.
A few will comment about Mrs
Casale being an exceptionally Valu-
able citizen, increasing our greatest
kind of national wealth-manpower
Most folks, though, will shiver az
the thought of having to support p
children. All right when Mrs. Casale
started, but now only a millionaire
would brave it.
High cost of living is what keeps
the average family small. Millions
of mothers would be glad to have IL
children If they could afford it.

Strength

An old-time endurance stunt was
carrying 62-pound bag of potatoes
a mile without stopping. At Peauo-
mock. Conn, bet is made that no
one in the village can do it now.
The fellow who made the bet prob
ably will lose it. But he's on the
right track, in that he recognizes the
steady decadence of the average
mans physical strength. Maybe you
remember the miller in "the old home

The ex-kaiser's pet racing yacht
was the Germania. He kept 1t at the
Kiel Yacht club and dreamed of
world power as it carried him on
cruises.
The war changed a lot of things.
1t changed the name, Germania, to
Half Moon. It also changed the
yachts ownership. Gordon Wood
bury of New York owns it now. He
starts on the Half Moon for a cruise
in the South Seas.
When Bill Hohenzollern heard
about this at his famous woodpile in

Much of the alcohol used is, by
government regulation, doctored TO
prevent its use as a beverage. The

The isopropyl alcohol paralyzes the
nerve centers. The acetone lacerates

MARRIAGE

The bolsheviks tinkered four years
with Russia's marriage and divorce
laws. Family ties became so loose
that divorces could be bought for
the equivalent of Is cents, and prac-
tically all restrictions were removed
from marriage.
The pendulum swings back. Reg
ulations are tightened. Divorce and
marriage statistics are returning TO
normal, say latest reports from Rus
sia.

ply is powerful enough to break up

CHICAGO, July S.-GraiR prices
declined sharply on the Chicago
Board of Trade today.
Lack OF export demand continued
as the leading factor in the decline.
Reports that Germany could not pay
wheat and had cancelled all future
shipments was a strong bearish in
fluence. Heavy shipments of wheat
from Western fields further de-
pressed the market.
Corn and oats declined in sympathy
with wheat.
Provisions were lower.
Favorable weather reports contin-
ued from all sections of the grain
belt. Rains have relieved the long
drought, and a comparatively large
yield of corn and wheat in the North
west is now expected.
Cooler weather in the Northwest
has removed the danger OF black rust.
Corn is reported in excellent condi-
ton in central Illinois and fair to
