Train Insects to Eat Insects.

An ingenious scheme for Kidding our
gardens of insect pests has been sug-
gested by a Richmond ontomoogist-
His plan is to train Harmless .Hsects
to kill and cat injurious grubs and
flies. Experiments which have been
made met with considerable success.
1t is well known that certain insects
are the enemies of other creatures
which are garden pests. They lay
their eggs in convenient spots, often
in the actual nesting places of their
enemies and when the young come
to life they feed on the eggs. Scien-
fists are attempting to train these In
sects to feed upon harmful creatures
which at present they do not regard
as enemieS,-LondOn Tit-Blts.

Fur Animals Increase in Kentucky.


t'ur-bearing animals are on the III
crease in Kentucky as a result Of the
protection afforded by the state game
law. The raCcoon, opossum, mink,
weasel, otter and muSkrat are re-
ported in larger numbers by trappers
who in the open season collect the
skins in paying quantities. Until
adequate protection was afforded by
the drastic game law some of the
species had almost disappeared from
Kentucky, but under the new order
the stock seems to have been appreci-
ably replenished all over the state.
The beaver still is found in some sec
tions of the state and only recently a
large colony was discovered in 8
western county, where the animals
had damned a creek.

DESERVING OF HONOR

A tablet in honor Of John Erics-
son, the designer, and Cornelius
De Lamater, who built the machin-
cry of the famous Civil war mont
tor, was recently unveiled on the
site Of De Lamater's ironworks in
New York city.
This tablet might well have borne
the name of Theodore Timby, the
inventor of the armored revolving
gun turret, says the Mentor Maya
zine. The revolving turret was first
used on the Monitor, and its prin-
ciple is incorporated today in every
battleship.
Timby was born in Dover, N. Y,
in 1922 and died in 1909. He con-
ceived the idea Of the turret upon
seeing a round brick fort in New
York harbor in 1871. He received
a royalty Of $4,000 for use of his
principle, but was never accorded
public recognition for his part in
the Monitors making.

NO EFFICACY IN MAIDSTONE
idea That II Would Cure Hydropho-
bia Has Been Found to Be
Without Foundation.

The belief that a maidstone cures
hvdrophobia is an old tradition with
no foundation. The Pasteur treat
ment administered by competent
physician is the only effective treat
ment known. For centuries there
has existed among men the fallacy
of the maidstone treatment. But,
physicians tell us, no person treat
ed with a maidstone ever recovered
if the poison of rabies actually
found its way into the blood. Many
persons, after having been attacked
by a supposedly rabid animal, have
recovered upon the application Of a
maidstone to the wound. But the
madstone's effect was wholly mag
mary, and the application of
brickbat or hickory chip would have
been attended by the same result.
The origin and history of the
maidstone are as mythical as the eff
cacy of the stone in the treatment
of rabies. 1t generally is conceded,
however, that the "stone" was part
of the practice of medicine in India
in the latter half Of the Seventeenth
century. Later explorations carried
it to Europe and thence to America.

HEARD 1T ALL DAY

An Alexandria man who attended
the speedway race in 1912, before
the Volstead act was in effect, re-
calls an incident of that time. He
says that while walking through the
parking space at the speedway he
noticed large car bearing a New
Jersey license number. Beside the
car was a case of beer and nearby
was a tub filled with cracked ice and
bottles. The ground was strewn
with empty bottles and the men
with the car were taking the shade
beneath it and were looking the
worse for the wear.
AS the Alexandra man passed the
car one of the men with his head
bandaged with handkerchief
looked out from beneath it as one
of the racers roared by and in

Cause of Appendicitis.

When the bowels are consti-
pated, the lower bowels or large
intestines become packed with
refuse matter, that Is made up
largely of germs. These germs
enter the vermiform appendix
and set up inflammation, which is
commonly known as appended
tbs. Take Chamberlain s Tab
lets when needed and keep your
bowels regular and you have lit
tie to fear from appendicitis.

NEW IDEA IN ART

New York art circles have been
stirred by masked marvel. The
mystery painter is winning high
acclaim. He talks to art critics
only by telephone and has deep,
thunderous voice. "Only my work
counts" he says. At the gallery
where his pictures are being shown,
purchasers are not permitted to buy
outright. They must leave the price
they think the picture is worth and
if it pleases the soul of the artist he
orders it sent to their address.

LONDON AS 1T IS TODAY
British Capital, II Is Reported, Is Being
Rapidly Amerieanized by
Travellers.

Americans Of today who cross the
Atlantic do it for one Of two rea-
sons. Either they go to get drink, or
they go in search of the Old-World
atmosphere. According to recent re-
ports, the former are the more
likely to get what they are after.
Paris, it is said, is completely con-
verted to the American jazz idea,
and if London goes the same way
the only benefit to be derived from
a trip abroad will be the sea air and
the hotel labels on ones baggage.
Londoners are wearing American
clothes, dancing to American music,
cooking in the American way and
patronizing american" ice cream
parlors. American slang is becom-
ing part Of current English
speech, but presumably the Ameri-
can accent is not, for that is not
change that can be made in less than
few centuries. American plays
occupy many London stages, with
casts of American players, and
American methods Of merchandise
ing and advertising are in vogue.
However, at latest accounts moth
ing was said about Ame~icanization
Of the London fog, SO there will be
that much difference anyway, re-
marks the Spokane Spokesman
Review.

country. j. -.
Down in the Hooking valley, in
my district, right at. this very min
ute men. women and children are
suffering because. OF the fact. that
the miners have not had reasonable
work during the past year.
Every few men in public life I'M
derstand miners, mine work and
mine conditions in this country. For
tunately for me I have had actual
experience in the mine and know
personally mining conditions in my
district, and in q general way con-
ditions throughout the country.
1.-THE miner is surrounded with
danger on every hand. Not only is
this true, but his work is tire
mendously hard. He comes out Of
the mine with his clothes wet and
his body black with grease, dirt
and CRIME. =, Colds, pneumonia and
consumption are prevalent among
the miners by reason Of exposure in
and out Of the mine.
II have seen them on their way
home from the mine when their
clothes were frozen on their bodies.
Many of them work in water half
knee deep, in foul and noxious air,
and many times they are compelled
to double up like jackknives.
Men working in the Crooksville
(Ohio) district never have an op-
portunity to straighten themselves
or straighten their backs during the
day until they go out of the mine
in the evening, unless they choose
to lie flat on the floor or bottom of
the mine. They enter the mine in
the morning and sometimes have to
walk miles in a stopped position to
their work. They are frequently
compelled to go through mud and
water in order to reach their work.
1.-THE miner is always exposed to
| the danger of gas and dust explo-
siohs, to the falling of slate and
coal, to drowning. to electrocution,
to mine damp. to fire, and to being
mangled by dangerous machinery.
The man who mines takes his: life
in his hands the minute he enters
the shaft or mouth Of the mine."
