rranspIantIna Ineeets, Heads

A remarkable experiment has been
tried at the biological research labora-
tory of the Vienna Academy Of Sci
ences by DIR. Walter Finkler who, In
order to solve certain problems con-
nected with the correlation of body
and soul, cut Off and exchanged the
heads of insects duly narcotized. The
head having been lifted out of the
thorax socket, was severed from the
trunk by simple stroke Of the scis-
sors and transferred to another indl-
vidu& treated In the same manner
The blood thus escaping which, by
the state of narcosis was reduced TO
a minimum, Immediately closed the
edges Of the wound and, without any
seams or other means of fixation,
merely in virtue of It's natural adj
hesion, kept the head In the position
most suitable for heallng.-Scientll

A Kentucky mountain girl, crippled
with infantile paralysis, crawled on
her hands and knees to school over a
mountain more than a mile and a half
away. The sharp rocks, despite pads,
cut her knees so she could not make
the trip more than few times. A
Louisville physician heard of the case
and, taking her 10 the city, he operated
on her. BY breaking and reSetting the
bones in her legs he made it possible
for her to walk In a years time. She
learned to read and write in the hos
pltal and was taken to Beera college
to finish her education. A man whose
name is withheld deposited $1,000 to
her credit in a Louisville bank.

DUE TO GLACIERS.
Professors Explanation of Rich
ness of Midwest Soil.
Areas Which Show Poorer Crops Be
Iieved to Have Been Protected
From the Ice Floes.

Farmers living In the fertile valley
Of the Middle West may attribute their
rich crop yields, fat swine and excel
lent butter to the fact that more than
$1,000 years ago their acres were COW
cred with Ice. says an Associated Press
dispatch from Chicago.
This is the glst Of the finding Of Prof.
William II. Haas of the geology de
partment Of Northwestern university,
who has made study Of the subject,
concerning his observations upon Ohio.
Comparing the glaciated section of
the continent and the driftless area
Professor Haas found that the soils in
the two differed. In the glaciated land
the soils are more diversified and Of
better quality. he states.
with this asset 1t is little wonder
that the farmer living in the zone which
ae0ns ago had been covered with ice,
should find himself better off than his
brother Of the driftless area" says
Professor Haas. This area covers
some 10000 square miles and embraces
northwestern Illinois, a small part Of
Iowa, southwestern Wisconsin and
Minnesota"
The geologist, in explaining the ac-
ton Of the Ice and why that portion of
the earth's surface touched by 1t should
yield to man an abundance Of crops.
said that the pressure exerted by the
glaciers 10000 years ago crushed the
rocks and mixed the dirt as they rolled
southwark; hence The many soils.
1T is remarkable" said Professor
Haas, speaking of Ohio, ito notice
how, suddenly, the tall corn will end
and be neighbored by stunted stalks
and shriveled ears
"All this Is on account of the fact
that hundreds Of centuries ago some
rocks of particular hardness, able TO
withstand tire onward sweep Of the
Ice fields from the North, DETECTED the
fields, thus leaving the area which the
rocks appeared to protect, unglaciated.
That, in my opinion at least, accounts
for those 10000 square miles Of com
paratlyely poor soil, or, as we geol-
oglsts say, the driftless area"
Professor Haas stated that the de-
marcation between the healthy grain
and the sickly, stunted grain was so
distinct as to form a well-defined line
showing the boundary between the
glaciated and non-glaciated land.
Professor Haas explained that many
III
processing themselves unable to ac-
count for the drlftless area; others, he
said, went so far as to question the
existence Of the so-called driftless area.
The Northwestern professor declared
that the glaciers accomplished three
great effects: they cut down the hills
and filed In the valleys; they ground
up the boulders, and, thirdly, mixed
the rocks.

One day three of my girl friends and

crowded Latin quarter. It Is inter-

conventional French style and gone to
Oxford for his models, remarks the
Manchester Guardian
A writer in ILLUSTRATION curiously

Hollandais," but as a matter Of fact
the design bears a great resembla@ze
to the new BrasenOse buildings. The

NJ. Emile Deutsche de la Meurthe,
the generous donor of the first block,

ExtermInatlnu ths pralrle AMI

The Kansas State Agricultural coll
lege, after experimenting with differ
ent substances, has adopted carbon
bisulphlde as the most efficient means
for destroying the prairie ant. The
work should, If possible, be done when
the ants are at work and their gate
ways open. Otherwise, it would be
advisable to take a sharpened broom
stick or an iron rod and run down to
the bottom of the nest In several
places. A galvanized tub or similar
vessel Is turned over the nest and
earth is thrown around the tub where
II rests on the ground and packed
down to make II as nearly alright as
possible. A shallow dish is placed on
the nest and into 1t is poured from
one-half to one and one-half ounces
of carbon bisulphide, according to the
size Of the nest. The tub Is quickly
lowered and the earth is placed all
around Ii. The deadly fumes of the
drug are heavier than air and sink
into the underground galleries of the
nest, destroying every ant with which
they come in contact. The drug
must be carefully handled, as the
fumes are even more inflammable
than gasoline. II possible, and not
speck of fire, not even pipe or
cigar, must be permitted anywhere
near 1t or an explosion will likely re-
suit. The tub Is left In place five
hours and then removed.

WILLIAM TYLER PAGE, Clerk
Of the House Of Representatives,
who has a passion for figures and
statistics, says that the Congress
ional death toll since last March is
the greatest in the history of the
country. Three Senators and fifteen
Representatives have died since
March 4, making mortality rate
about four per cent. The 65th Con-
gress lost ten Senators and Fifteen
Congressman, but the deaths were
scattered over longer period.
FURTHER INDICATIONS that
there viii be plenty of fireworks in
the next Congress over the price Of
coal were given by the statement Of
the United States Coal Commission
that the profits of wholesalers are
200 per cent more than they were

WASHINGTON CONTINUES to

WASHINGTON CONTINUES to
be considerably exercised over the
enforcement Of the dry law, with
Governor Pinchot of Pennsylvania
causing President Coolidge as much
if not more trouble than he did over
the coal strike situation a few weeks
ago. The Presidents conference
with the state governors has come
and gone and it now remains to be
seen if the silent man in the White
House has been successful in passing
the enforcement buck to the Chief
Magistrates of the several States
The trouble that Pinchot is causing
the President in passing the enforce
ment buck back to the Administra-
tion, is, of course, largely political
and it has been suggested that it
might clear up matters somewhat if
Coolidge would delegate the Pennsyl-
wanna Governor to take charge of
federal prohibition enforcement just
as he asked him to end the coal
strike and he got out from under the
darkening agricultural clouds,
temporarily at least, by turning the
problem over to former Governor
Lowden Of Illinois, also a contender
for the Republican presidential
nomination.
MEMBERS OF THE American
Debt Funding Commission have
added up the figures in the European
column and found that our allies in
the World War owe us trifling
seven billion dollars. Great Britain
is the only nation that has definitely
contracted to pay so the Administra-
ton is planning to send duns around
again to try to bring in some cash.

Here are five living factors in the
problem that three capable gentle
men are trying to solve. The chill
dren do not know that they are fac
tors or problems. They probably
think of themselves as just plain
kids. The gentlemen, Col. William
N. Haskell, American Red Cross
Commissioner to Europe, DR.. A..
Doxiades, the Greek Minister of Pub
lie Assistance and Major Edmund L..
Daley, Colonel HaskelPs deputy,
realize that there are some 999,995
factors and that the problem pre-
scented is as serious as the faces Of
the children themselves.
The children are typical of the
million refugees who were trans
planted to Greece with little warning
rs an outcome of the Greco-Turkish
war. Colonel Haskell and Major
Daley represent the organization
which since the emergency arose has
been caring for, feeding, bathing,
vaccinating, clothing and delousing
the neediest of the refugees, as an
emergency measure to alleviate the
suffering which such mass move
ment of population is bound to entail
and to check the threatened epidem-
les which menaced all Greece
The work accomplished was effec-
tive. Half million of the dependent
