Field Bugs as Toys.

The field bugs, known in America as
June bugs, have resumed their place
as toys for German children. AN ex-
traordinary flood of the beetles has
sent hundreds of Berliners into nearby
forests and fields to catch thousands
of them and sell them to dealers who,
in turn, retail them to fond parents
and children. The bugs sell at ten for
a mark now, whereas before the war
a dozen could be bought for a few
pfennigs. The dealer makes 300 per
cent profit, those engaged in catching
them declare. Farmers encourage the
catching of the bugs as playthings for
city children. as they are destructive
to the foliage Of orchards and vine
yards. The unusually large plague Of
field bugs has revived the custom Of
catching them for sale for the first
time since the war. An expert catch
er" usually brings in about 1000 bugs
a day. They live for about ten days as
playthings.

school and strenoth.

The London problem of teaching
boys and girls In city schools without
neglecting their bodily strength is just
the same as the New York problem.
And in London this is what one en-
thusiast has done:
The Birmingham Street School Is in
West Lambeth, very poor district.
When the present head master of this
school took charge of it twenty years
ago he was painfully impressed with
the physical inferiority of the pupils
to those that he had known in Scot
hand.
There was a pretty good-sized
playground, and the master set to
work. In 1889, when the school foot
bah club was organized, the Eltring
ham street team was the smallest in
the city. Now, as the result Of Mas
ter Carsie's persistence. the team is
the heaviest in the South London
schools. Since 1893 1t has been the
champion, and in running also has
taken the lead among South London
schools.
Since 1895 the Birmingham team has
increased In average height from
feet Ii Ill inches to 5 feet ~
inches Even latter would be very
low in New York. But II Is remark
able that with no change in the dis
trict or in the food or homes Of the
pupils such an increase, with a cor
responding one in chest measurement
should be possible

The Smyrna Horror


Blame whom you will for the Smyr-
ma horror: the least Americans over
here can do is to contribute promptly
and generously to the Smyrna Emer-
gency Relief fund. Responding to the
request Of the State Department to do
its utmost, the Near East Relief adyanc-
ed $25 900 and then second $4,000,
first in food, medical supplies and
stores collected at Constantinople for
its regular orphanage work, and since
the fire, some steamers besides destroy
ers have been secured to transport ref
ugees.
1t is impossible to exaggerate the ter
rible conditions of the Smyrna, say
cable reports. The call is to feed tenn
porarily hundreds of thousands of ef-
ugees. homeless, helpless, men, wom-
en- and children and convey them to
greater safety to save from starving to
death or breed pestilence. 1t should
be remembered that the 100000 ap-
propriated by Congress was for the re-
lief Of American citizens only, in
smyrna. Heroic Americans on the job
rightly count on us folks back HON 9
to supply the necessary dollars for this
humanitarian service. as we have
never failed to do for the honor Of our
country's name throughout the
world.

VIII. MORE ABOUT AERIAIs

If there are several sending stations
at various points from your set, II Is
often very good plan to run several
aerial wires at right angles or radiat-
Ing as shown In figures IL and IL, con-
meeting them together and running the
lead-in from the point where all join,
as shown. SOmetimes this principle
may be reversed and several lead-ins
may be carried from the outer ends
of the radiating aerials and joined
to form single lead-in and will bring
even better results, figures 13 and IA.
These several lead-ins may be con-
nected by means of an anchor-ring,
hgure Is, t" equalize the waves or
currents, or they may be provided
with multiple point switches as shown
In Figs. 13 and IA. This switch ar
rangement has the great advantage
that you can largely cut out stations
you do not wish to hear by using the
lead-in towards the station you desire
to hear. This will result in the others
being fainter or weaker in comparison
and they can therefore be more effec-

Harry looked at him searchingIy,

neighing Of horses, the lowing OF
cattle, the piping Of roosting turkeys
