Mr.. and Mrs. John Moran and son

Sympathy is extended to the rela-
tives of Montgomery Havey, on his
death. Mr.. Havey was born in what
was then No. Z, now East Sullivan.
On his marriage to Miss Ada Bunker,
he built the house now owned by
Curtis Moon, after her death moving
to West Sullivan. He and his family
have spent their summers at the old
Havey homestead, while his blue
berry crop has been harvested. He
was always genial and friendly, and
will be greatly missed here.
Tuesday, after schools were dis
missed, all roads led to the postoffice.
Alonzo Thomson of Baltimore and
New York was giving the boys and
girls their annual treat of ice-cream,
arranging with the postmaster to
leash" the seventy-six tickets issued.

Rifles Peculiarities.

A series of experiments made in
France on the variations set up in
gun barrels by the effects Of firing
indicates another allowance that the
expert marksman should make for
the individual peculiarities of his rifle
The shock of firing sets the par
ticles Of the gun barrel oscillating
III elliptical curves, producing deffec-
tons of the barrel The periods of
vibration in different rifles vary be-
tween one-twenty- fifth and one-five-
hundredth of second, and the ex-
periments indicate that small bore
gun is to be preferred to one of
larger caliber because the bullet can
leave its muzzle before the defec-
ton Of the barrel has become consid-
cradle.

KEEP UP WARFARE ON PESTS
Attention Called to the Necessity for
Constant Vigilance, Especially
Against the Househy.

There are 100000 described species
Of insects against the single human
species, says a writer in the New York
Journal. The human species has less
than 2,O00,0OOOOO individuals in the
whole world; while a single housefiy
may in the course Of summer have
6,OO0,OOO,OOO descendants fighting for
existence against every kind Of COM
petitor, including themselves.
1t Is true that the life Of the insect
is brief, but that fact is more than
counterbalanced by the effect Of num-
bers. A hundred thousand ants, or
perhaps only 10000, could kill man.
A swarm Of bees, guided by fixed
common purpose, could disable or prob
ably kill man or several men. Ex-
plorers have been routed by mosqui-
toes. Great areas Of fertile country
have been rendered uninhabitable by
the incessant attacks Of blood-sucking
Insects
But the warfare between man and
his insect competitors is only to a
small degree waged at the point Of the
bayonet: it is generally struggle for
the means Of subsistence. Man has
many times been beaten by focusts de-
vouring HIS pastures, meadows and
grain. Crawlers on the ground and
buzzers In the air. moths with wings
like silver down and caterpillars with
brilliant regimenta1 stripes ffutter
about the gardens and orchards and
march up and down the trees and
shrubs, either devouring as they go
or planting eggs from which future
devourers viii spring.
The insect is a most efficient ally
Of the disease germ. It Is his poison
gas with which he undermines the
strength of his chief enemy, the only
one intelligent enough to comprehend
him and effectively to combat him.
Fight the fly this summer as you
have never fought him, and begin at
once,

to the base stealers, having tucked
an even dozen away, and also is
the best scorer to date. He has
crossed the plate % times.
Kenneth Williams, who promises
to be Babe Ruth's rival in home
run hitting this season, struck a
snag in batting, dropping into fifth
place. He continues to crash out

of the Cardinals each poled three
round trip blows, and are making
the home run race hot for the Giant
slugger. This pair is on Kelly's
heels with four each.
Hornsby has been pelting the
ball with great regularity and as
a result boosted his mark from 1868
a week ago to .404. Bob O'Farrell.

Cubs, is the runner-up to Kelly
