FISH THAT CARRY LANTERNS
Danish Deep-Sea Expedition Brings
I, Back News Of Peculiar Specimens
4 Of Deep-Sea DenIzens.

Fish and "sea devils" which carry
lanterns and electric-like lamps with
which to find their way in the coal.
black depths of the ocean are among
the hitherto unknown curiosities of ma
ture brought back by the Danish deep
sea expedition under DR.. Johannes
Schmidt, the well-known ocean ex-
plorer.
His ship, the steamer Dana, has jus6
returned to Copenhagen with vast
amount Of new data Of greatest inter-
est to natural scientists and collec-
tiOn Of deep-sea inhabitants never be-
fore seen.
The expedition was particularly
equipped with instruments and appar-
atus for deep-sea explorations and rec
ords. The greatest depth reached was
about four miles Out of the styglan
depths of 1920 feet, or three miles,
where eternal Egyptian darkness
reigns, "sea devil was brought up
which, on a wire-llke tentacle project
ing from his head, had small spheri-
eal ball electriclike lamp. This bali
gives a red light when the fish swims.
Other fish out Of the ocean darkness
had lantern-like bulbs giving light.
One Of the discoveries Of the expe-
dition is that the Bermuda islands are
the central breeding places of the eel,
and 1t is claimed that European eels
cross the ocean from the Bermudas.e

WOOD SEASONED BY OZONE
French Scientist Seems to Have
Solved Problem Which Has Long
Puzzled Furniture Makers

Green wood warps, as is well known.
and pianO-makers are obliged to keep
wood for a period Of ten years or
more before they can convert it into
piano frames, and in the building
trade timber often remains In the
yard for several years before 1t can
be fashioned into doors and window
sashes. This is to permit 1t to dry
thoroughly. Until the sap has ex-
hausted itself, the wood is liable to
warp. The holding up Of large stacks
Of timber in this way is expensive
and exceedingly tiresome when this
wood Is required urgently. Some have
attempted to overcome the difficulty
by dehydrating or drying the timber
In specially constructed ovens, but
without much success. Now French
scientist, M. Otto. las discovered that
all kinds Of wood can be seasoned
rapidly and efficiently by means Of
ozone
He has established q factory In
Paris and another at Milan, in Italy.
where various species of wood are
being treated by the new process. In
two weeks freshly cut timber is ready
Tor the cabinet maker, and Is as dry
as If 1t had been exposed to the air
for years. The timber is laid in spe-
cially built chambers, through which
ozone is made to pass at a uniform
heat. Ozone is air highly charged
with certain electrical qualities.

Bows, club Work

C4uD ~ tne unIE OF D. Z ani1atlOn.
AS soon as the boys are enrolled
in the various clubs (corn. cot
ton, sweet potato or pig) they
all unite. in forming a community
agricultural club. A president
and secretary are selected from
the members of the club, while
the club leader is usually princi-
pal Of the school or other in-
terested community leader. The
community club holds regular
monthly meetings at which time
they discuss suggestive pro-
grams, transact such business
as pertains to the welfare OF the
club and engage in wholesome
play and fun.
The Boys Community Agri-
cultural Club is the basis of all
successful organized club work.
Our best work has always been
in those counties that have well
organized, active community
clubs. They facilitate contact
of the county agent, club leader
and specialist with the club
boys; the members have the adj
vantage of the instruction and
inspiration that comes from
personal contact with these
trained leaders as well as others
whom they may have at their
meetings; while they also profit
from study of bulletins, circular
letters of instruction and farm
papers, preparatory to participat-
ing in the discussions. Field
demonstrations in terracing,
pruning and spraying fruit trees
and other prs ctical demonsra-
tions under the leadership Of the
county agent are interesting
features of these community
club meetings. An occasional
picnic, fishing trip. or hunt,
under the leadership of the club
leader adds much to the interest
of the community club. Another
feature which ought to mean
more to the country boy and to
the development Of future
leadership and rural organiza-
ton is the opportunity these
clubs offer their members in
social contact. wholesome play
and fun.
The community club offers the
county agent the best opportuni-
ty and affords him the best
machinery for carrying his pro-
gram of work and instruction to
the boys and to the community.
BY attending the club meetings
county agents can instruct the
boys in every phase of their
club work and promote club
activities, such as the county
club camp, the boys vacation
short course, the community and
state fair.
After carefully observing the
operation of these clubs for the
past three years, it is evident to
me that there are three essential
factors involved in their success:
"a q definite program Of work
that will appeal to the country
boy: (2) the enthusiastic leader
ship and contact Of the county
agent and teachers (S) r.

WRONG END TO

Mr.. Couzens and Mr.. Brookhart are
nice new senator's. Everybody wants
to like them. They come to the senate
at a time when there is a dearth of
leadership. New men never had a bet
ter chnce. But Mr. Brookhart and
Mr.. Couzens failed in their first STRAIT
egg, they didn't displace ship subsidy
with farm credits. Now that outcome
isn't altogether the fault of the bad
Old Guard with it's schemes and priv
ileges. It's partly the fault of Couzens
and Brookhart in getting off on the
wrong foot. Their best chance is to
show up the ship subsidy scheme as a
wrong thing that ought to be beaten ON
its demerits. After that, if they have
something ready, they'll find the public
ready to listen, and seniority and priv
ilege and the cloak room whispering

That the messages Of the Farm De

beyond the confines of Rusk county
and do their part in boosting the coun-
ty and Northern Wisconsin, comes to
us from many sources. The latest
comes from John K. Wolf, editor of

farm editor of the News-Budget, con-
veying yuletide greetings, he says he
is a regular reader of the farm page of
this paper, and has had the pleasure
of quoting from it several times. In
last Fridays Milwaukee Journal, Ed
itor Wolf reproduces the Theodore
Phillips article from a recent num-
Der of the News-Budget, prefacing it
with the following: DETECTING the
compass from Horace Greeley's fav-
orite point, we are going to paraphrase
his oft-quoted advice and say, Go to

man, but also old man. How a man of
more than 60 can stimulate the growth
of the fertile soil of our northern en-
