Nature is interlinked. Everything
is interlaced with everything else. A
change is induced in some obscure
species, and from this change many
others follow. A notable instance
in this part of the country is taken
from the phenomena that have fol-
lowed the destruction of bird life. All
sorts of insect pests have increased.

large additional expense for spray

"Ormond's" Identity Hidden.

Inc 1QenJJY OF james OIIIOIlOs
who met the woman at Fairfield
Beach for the alleged purpose of
Matchmaking her or on what grounds
he was pursuing his nefarious prac-
tice is hidden by cloud of mystery.
There is, however, a strong suspicion
that "Ormond" is fictitious name
and that he is noe other than Dana
Shaw of Olean, New York, to whom
Mrs. Hotchkiss was married on Sep
TENDER !, 1906, a Olean, New York.
At that time she was Is years of
age. On February 2, 1907, he is al
legged to have deserted her according
to testimony she admitted under oath
when she sued Shaw for divorce in
the Erie County courts.
She was granted decree from
Shaw on December L, 1913, after the
case was battIed back and forth in
the Erie courts for over four years
The reason for the finger of sus-
picion to point toward Shaw is that
because of the minutes which We're
taken at the time of Mrs. Hotchkiss'
divorce case.
A special despatch from the Erie
Times has the following to say con-
corning the divorce action:

Thunder and lightning were a part
of the stimuli which induced the first
men to worship. They saw a God
in the lightning, and heard him in
the thunder. and sought to turn away
his anger with gifts aud prayers
Hundreds of centuries have elapsed,
and man makes lightning for himself,
and uses It to run his machines
Woman uses it to curl her hair. Yet
millions Of men and women are al
most as much afraid of lightning as
the first men were.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1922-07-13

They should learn to count The
chance that one will be killed by
lightning is much less than the chance
that he will be killed by an automo-
bile. while crossing the street Fire
must once have been terrible, but man
conquered fire. long before he did
lightning, and made it his servant.
Men at times have worshipped fire,
and a little further up the scale of
science, made the sun into god.
1t took a long time for man to find
in the unity of nature the thought of
one God, creator of all things else.

Fear remains a vast and evil force
in the world 1t is perhaps the larg-
er cause of war. France has fear for
a dictator in its attitude toward Ger
ing armies stronger than they were
in 1914 and costlier. 1t ought to be
possible to tame war, as lightning and
fire have been tanned. Then one
more cause of fear will be diminiShe ed.

This will be accomplished, like the
conquest of lightning and fire, by US

poral mechanism through which the
soul operates. A little more sense

intellect has created, men in a box

than insects. 1t is a waste of energy
