USED ANTS TO FIGHT PESTS
Southern Arabs Employed the Method
$50 Years Ago in Culture Of
the Date Palm.

Control of destructive insects by
the Introduction Of their natural
enemies has become an important
technique during the last generation,
writes Paul Popence in Science But
If competent observers are to he
trusted. the southern Arabs employed
the same method more than $50 years
ago in the culture of the date palm.
In his Relation dun Voyage dams
IYemen" Paris, 1850, page 1859, P.
E, Botta says:
Il was able to verify the singular
fact previously observed by Forskal,
that the date palms in Yemen are at
tackled by q species Of ant which would
cause them To perish If each year the
growers did not bring from the noun
tains and fasten IN the tops Of the
palms branches OF 4 tree that I did
not recognize, which contains the nests
Of another species of ant which des-
troys that of the date palm"
z. Forskal was the naturalist Of c.
Niebuhr's expedition: his work was
published posthumously in 1775. l have
not seen his account TO which Botta
refers.

whether the history of economic en-

REVIVAL OF CLASSIC GREEK
Western Newspaper Welcomes Pos
sibiity of Its Becoming. in
Time, a World Language.

Were one to judge from the fuss
made from time to time. one would
suppose there was real need of an in
ternational language. In the golden
age of the English language the great
queen addressed the ambassador at
her court in Latin, and all diplomatic
conversation and correspondence of
Europe was in Latin. Erasmus, the
great scholar and writer. who visited
the court of Elizaheth's father, Henry
VIII, wrote Latin works that pro
duced an effect comparable to that
produced by the writings of Noltalre
two centuries later.
Much pains have been expended in
fabricating artificial language, such
as Esperanto, TO serve as the medium
of communication. But such construc-
tons have no chance of practical adop-
ton nor could they answer as well as
actual language whether dead like
Latin or living like English.
There is n language, however,
which is gradually becoming again
living one, and which as world Ian
guage would be ideal The Greek uni
versities and Greek men of culture
including Venizelos himself, are en-
gagged in an attempt to restore classi-
cal purity and perfection to modern
Greek. 1t is said that the endeavor
is by no means vain, and that gradu-
ally the ancient model is being ap-
preached. We may yet have the speech
of Pericles, the written language OF
Plato, employed in social intercourse
and commercial transactions, in con-
tracts, in courts of law, In houses OF

FAMOUS ENGLISH RACE HORSE
Eclipse, Bred by the Duke of Cumber.
land, Was the Sensation of
His Generation.

That celebrated race horse, Eclipse,
which died Feb. IS, 1889, at the ripe
age Of 25 years, received his name on
account of his being born during an
eclipse of the sun, and it became curl
ously significant and appropriate when
in mature life he was found to pass
all contemporary horses as regarding
speed.
Eclipse was bred by the Duke OF
Cumberland, brother of George III,
and afterward became the property of
Dennis O'Kelly, who on his death be-
Queathed the animal, along with all
his brood mares and other horses, to
his brother Philip. For many years
Eclipse lived in retirement from the
turf, but was in other ways source
OF considerable revenue to his owner
on account of the many visitors who
came to see the renowned hero Of the
race track who was passing his last
days at Clay Hill near EPSON.
In those days it was not the custom
to insure the lives Of animals, and
the fact that Eclipse was insured for
an enormous sum only made his popu-
larity the greater. When 1t became
necessary to remove him he was so
worn out that carriage had to be
especially constructed to carry him.
The secret of his immense success
was revealed by the autopsy, when it
was discovered that his heart was Of
unusual size, as it weighed thirteen
pounds. Chicago Journal,

Obesity Undesirable.

Are you fat? Be on your guard If
you are. Doctor Joslin of Boston has
gathered striking statistics that show
an undeniabie association of obesity
and diabetes, the condition in which
sugar, the most common of food fuels,
is not properly metaboliZed or stored
In the body There are in this country
alone more than half a million dia-
betics "The penalty of taking too
much alcohol is we'll known, and a
drunkard is looked upon with pity or
contempt" says Doctor Joslin. Rare
ly. persons who become fat deserve
pity, because of real tendency to put
Oh weight despite moderate eating. but
most of them should be placed in some
what the same category as the alco-
holic. In 999 cases out Of 1000 be-
Ing fat implies too much food or too
little exercise, or both combineds"~

NO RECORD OF PAINE'S GRAVE
What Became of Body Of Famous
Political Writer and FreethInker
Is Mystery.

One of the completely unsolved mys-
teries of modern history is what be-
came of the body of Tom Paine, the
famous Anglo-American political writer
and free-thinking philosopher, who
exerted such powerful influence
on the American public during
and subsequent to the Revolution.
Paine died in New York in 1909, and
was buried in New Rochelle. His re-
mains were later removed to England
by a radical leader named William
COrbett, who hoped by that act to
further republican doctrine in the
mother country. On reaching England
Corbett left the body in the hands of
a committee, and what eventually be-
came Of it has never been cleared up.
According to one story, the bones
We're left in trunk on Corbett's farm
IN England, where they had been for
Warded by the committee. After Cor
belts death, when an auction was held
OF his effects the trunk was removed
from his other possessions, and, af-
ter passing through numerous hands,
was returned to the keeping Of men,
Der of the republican committee who
was to hold it pending a public funer-
al, which never took place. The re-
mains we're thought by some to have
been taken to France, while others be-
lieved them to lie in an unmarked
grave somewhere in England.

would walk fearlessly up the walk

Ask an Astonishing Variety of

on to answer a variety Of questions

[ must therefore be a Ieper Can I
sue him for the damage he is caus-
fng to my reputation? A Subscriber"
The answer was: Yes, you can sue
him for breaking off the marriage, as
he cannot use q pale-colored eyebrow
as 4 cause for divorce

the wisdom Of the Yomiuri in the fol-
lowing: Il an a woman of twenty

Tie editor deserves credit both for
the truth and sympathy of his answer:

WORK OF ANCIENT BUILDERS
Methods of Thousands Of Years Ago
Seem Crude Today, but They
Were Effective.

DR.. c. S. Fisher of the University
Of Pennsylvania has recently spent six
years at the head of archaeological oN-
petitions to Egypt, and among his dis
coveries were some which help to
make the methods Of the ancient build
ers less mysterious. Three thousand
years before Christ they were work
Ing an alabaster quarry at Ell Amar-
ma, II miles from the Nile and 300
miles above Memphis. From this quar-
~ they transported blocks Of alabas-
ter each many tons in weight. to Mem
phis In the following manner: They
built a road, much as we should build
1t now, from the quarry to the river
bank with q smooth surface Of
pounded stone.
The blocks were quarried by means
of wooden wedges driven In at i'll
tervals along the cleavage line. When
soaked with water the wedges ex-
banded and split off the stone, which
was then shaped and dressed with
chisels and drills of very hard bronze.
The blocks were mounted on sleds
and dragged by gangs Of slaves the
II miles to the river, the road being
watered, possibly oiled, to make it
slippery under the sled runners they
had no wheels. Down the river the
blocks were floated on RATS, to be
dragged finally to the building sites.
