GROUND RICE FATAL TO ANTS.
Swelling of Flour After Being
Eaten Kills Larder Insects.

From the London Mail.
Whence do all the beetles, ants and
flies come that swarm about the
house. and particularly in the kitch-
en- and larder? And what is the best
way to get rid of them? These two
questions are always very much in
the minds of householders toward the
end of the Summer.
The first is not easy to answer. The
intrusiveness of beetles and cock
reaches is something uncanny. They
are found down deep mines. and they
appear in new ships the moment
steam is raised. Wherever there is a
moist heat there they come quickly.
The entry of ants into house is
often traceable to- some opening near
the. ground, such as ventilator.
Moths come in through the open win
dows after the, lamps are lit. Win
dows closed or guarded by mosquito
nettings after lighting up time should
keep them out.
The ant is. of course, intelligent.
But ground rice, il is said. finds his
weakness. Sprinkle the rice in his
track, and he will eat it greedily.
Then it swells within him and kills
him. But the rice must not be thrown
down on a wet floor or it will swell
before he eats it, and he will come to
no harm.

HOW SToNEHENGE WAS BUILT
Model Shows Work of Primitive
Engineers in ENGLAND.

the iSonooH MIL
How the builders of Stonehenge, on
Salisbury Plain, with the appliances
of, say thirty-fve hundred years ago.
managed to get the vast stones up
right and place others on their tops
has always been one of the marvels
of primitive engineering.
In his book "Stonehenge." just
published Robert ScotD, Mr. f. Her
bert Stone has a most interesting
series of photographs taken from
large working models by means of
which the various operations connect
ed with the raising of the stones of
Stonehenge as here described have
been rehearsed step by step in full
detail.".
For the purpose of his experiment
in this reconstruction" Mr.. Stone
has taken the average weight of the
stones of the outer circle. at Stone
henge as. for upright. 26 tons each.
and for the lintels placed across their
tops, six and three-fourth tons. The
appliances used, he points out, would
be mainly ropes, rollers and shear
legs, plus man power working in
carefully rehearsed unison.
After the upright stones had been
firmly bedded in the ground, IAN
earth bank is thrown up around the
pair Of upright stones on which Il
Intel is to be placed" The outer
part of this bank is brought to a
smooth surface and rammed hard, to
make a track up which the Intel is
to be hauled"
Then when every thing is in place
the we'll drilled man power takes the
strain and drags the great mass up
the slope till finally it rests on the
tops of the two mbedded stones. The
bank can then be removed, leaving
, the huge trilithon towering clear
above the ground

Hearts s Desire
By MARY BELL

"Oh, Rupert" said Joan as once again she put her arms around his neck, ''how wonderful :"
 Reluctantly they left the studio, but Joan realized that Rupert must return to the little boy, and so each precious minute as they walked to the jewellers s and later to the station was filled with the glamor of their love.
 The days that followed were like dream to Joan. Letters, telegrams, flowers and other gifts assured her of Rupert's love. Sylvia was enraptured by Joan's wonderful romance and wanted to give party for her. But Joan felt that she did not wish the news of her engagement made public at once. For little longer she wanted to enjoy the wonder of it. all, and Sylvia, smiling in superior fashion, respected her wishes. As the day drew near when Rupert was to arrive in New York and discuss arrangements for the wedding Joan decided that she must advise her family and friends of the great adven- ture upon which she was about to en- bark. Seated at Sylvia's desk, she was looking for a pen when the bell rang and a mail man handed her a special delivery letter.
