CORES Of engineers have been
- working for years to elimi-
~ nate the perpetual click that
accompanies fast passenger trains
on their journeys.
Rails expand in summer and
contract in winter. Allowance Is
made at the joints for this
change. The ends of the rails are
also the first to deteriorate.
Heavy, fast trains hammer the
joints. AS a result, the passen-
rers hear the continual click, and
the railroads spend fortunes each
year replacing the rails.
There are twelve file boxes in
the Patent Office, each contain
ing an average of seventy patents
that have been granted for Il

New Way to Kill Mosquitoes.

From the New Orleans Times -Picayune.
A new method for killing mosqui-
toes and preventing their breeding has
just been tried out by Percy Viosca,
jr., entomologist of the city board of
health OF New Orleans and proved
100 per cent effective. The process is
spraying stagnant pools with a dust
preparation in which arsenic or other
poison has been mixed. This Is said
to be far less expensive than oil and
to be equally, if not more, effective.
1t can be used over large areas in
which the wiggletails or larvae are
protected from the fish and other nat
ural enemies by the vegetation and
can destroy them without harming
the fish or other pond life.

The child who lacks nourishment is

body is not well padded with flesh,
and his flesh is pale and flabby. His
chest is flat and narrow, while his
shoulder blades protrude in wings
If he has bow legs and knock-knees,
it shows he is not getting the min
eral salts necessary for bone forma-
ton. His teeth are uneven and show
evidences of decay; his breath is
unpleasant, there are dark circles
under his eyes, and his expression is
dull, and he is not likely to do we'll
at school. Such child may be fin
Milky about his food and indulge in
temper tantrums.
He is more apt to catch every con-
