It is said that in the northwest part of New Guinel there are butterflies so large that the natives hunt them with the bow and arrow. They belong to the species Troides chimaera anl they are not only among the largest but among the rarest butterflies in the world. Some specimens measurs II l-2 inches across the wings.
 The malcs, which are very shy. are found only certain hours Of tho day and ai the tops uf lofty Jioez0rn- bearing trees. The natives sorci mes shoot the butterflies with four -p-onzcd arrows, and sometimes capture them in nets made of spiders webs The first specimens were taken 10 London not so long ago by Meek. who had spent more than twenty years in New Guinea hunting rare varieties Of birds and insects for American and Euro- pean Washington Star.

= Official County and Village PAPER
LURE OF ODDS

One Of the foremost writer's of the
country, on financial topics, recently
said that when one considered the
determination of the German govern
ment to print paper currency to the
value of 7,00O,OOO,00O marks day,
the figures staggered the Imagination
and made it strange that marks contin-
ued to be salable at even six cents for
hundred, in New York, So it is, but
the spectacle would be stranger if
men were not always to be found who
are ready to bet on almost anything
If the odds go high enough. Offer
one hundred to one that it will not
snow next September, and you might
find some taker, unable to withstand
the temptation of the small sum he
throws away when it is measured by
the amount he thinks there is faint
possibility of winning. That is what
makes market for mining stocks and
Oil stocks, offered at nickel or even
as low as a cent a share The buyer
tells himself that he can't lose much,
at worst, and the lure of dreams Of
winning at great odds pulls his money
out Of his pockets. There is much
betting Of this sort on horse races.

According to Mrs. Asquith, "tender-
ness, patience and compassion are the
highest qualities Of man"-that is to
say at once the highest and the most
desirable from woman's point of view.
To these woman journalist has added
eternal faithfulness, consideration
and generosity" with the proviso that
'of course, one takes strength as a
sine qua non Of the highest manhood
likewise wisdom" There is room for
other qualities, and probably they will
be suggested as the symposium ex-
tends. The final picture will be at
least handsome tribute to the po-
tential values of the masculine sex.
Evidently, there will be no mistaking
the magnificence of that picture
though mere individual man will have
good reason to reflect gratefully that
some individual women are content to
be quite loyal to beings who fall some
what short Of it.

Recent statistics sent out by the
census authorities show that the farm
population of the United States Is only
31,614,269, a little less than 80 per cent
Of the total. This includes farm opera
tors, and farm laborers and their fami-
lies, who live in the country, and
shows an average of about five per-
sons to each farm, says Farm Life.
About half the people in the nation
are classified as rural-that is, they
live in the country or in towns hav-
ing fewer than $4,000 Inhabitants, but
only 81 per cent of the 'rurals" are
actually engaged in farming. Thus
80 per cent, of the rural population
and the entire city population must
be fed by the men engaged in agri-
culture. It gives the farmer a big
job. Only few years ago each
farmer had to provision his own fam
lily and one other family-now he
must furnish food for nearly three
other families besides his own. His
occupation should not fail.

COOKING WITH SUMS HEAT

A camping party has done all Of It's
cooking with a sun cooker, which sue
cessfully cooked meat, bread, cereals
and vegetables and furnished the heat
to make jellies and preserves and to
do canning. This sun heat is not
patented device and has not been put
on the market, but was invented by
the officials Of the Washington Smith
sonian Institution to prove that the
heat of the sun could be used as a
practical fuel, says the New York Mail.
The cooker consists Of curved alumni
mum mirrors which focus the suns
rays on pipes filed with mineral oil.
These pipes can be heated far above
the boiling point of water and will
retain their heat for some time. The
oil flows through coils in bake ovens
and can be regulated to any desired
temperature. It is something like a
hot-water heater taking advantage of
the fact that heavy oil can be safely
heated to a much higher temperature
than water. Scientists are already
looking ahead to the time when the
earth's supply Of coal will be ex-
hausted and heat must be obtained
from some other source. The tides Of
the ocean If utilized would furnish
many times the heat and power the
world now uses. It would be less
costly to utilize the water power of
the rivers, which will be done within
the next generation or two. The neces-
sity for using the heat Of the sun may
never come, although in these things
there Is no never"

The business world is going to
yield more happiness to those who
are engaged in conducting business,
when more business men develop the
true scientific attitude of mind writes
Tom Driere in Forbes Magazine. Once
upon a time an investigator used to
try to keep the results Of his studies
to himself so that he personally
might profit by them. Nowadays re-
search specialists give freely to the
world whatever they have discovered
that is worth while. They have placed
service to humanity above personal
profit. Some may consider it too
ideallstlc to be carried through in
the world of business, but the curious
thing is that the business men who
are practicing this high idealism are
making greater profits than they ever
could by using more selfish system.
