Wouldn't Be Blufed
by "Reserue" Officer

During the early part of the World
war there was considerable hard feel
ing between some of the regular navy
men at the submarine base and those
Of the naval reserves at San Pedro.
Many Of the salty recruits of the regu-
lars had-and showed-a feeling Of su-
periority over the reserves, whose
camp adjoined the base.
One morning a salty recruit who
had about tive weeks service In the
regular navy was doing sentry duty
at the submarine base gate when the
commanding officer Of the reserve
camp passed by. The sentry failed to
salute him. The commander was a
retired regular navy officer and a
stickler for naval etiquette.
"Why did you not salute mel" asked
the commander.
II did salute you when you passed
about an hour ago, sir" answered the
recruit sentry, who had read some
where in the naval regulations that
he was supposed to salute an officer
the first time he met him, but had not
read on to where on sentry duty he
was to salute an officer whenever he
passed.
"You are supposed to salute me
every time I pass" Numbered the re-
serve commander.
"WhO do you think you are, and
how do you get that way? You're
only a reserve" answered the sentry.

Wasp Larva Feeds on
Carcass of Taranfuld

The common tarantula which is so
dreaded by man has as one of its most
deadly enemies mere wasp, nowhere
near its size. DR.. Alexander Petrunke-
witch, professor of zoology of Yale
university, has made a detailed study
of the habits Of this digger-wasp and
its victim. This species of wasp feeds
her offspring on an exclusive diet Of
tarantula. AS soon as the wasp is
ready to lay her egg, she goes in
search of prey. She Is guided by
sight Of the burrOw of the tarantula,
which supinely submits while the
wasp grasps one of her legs between
her mandibles and inserts the poison
sting into her side. With the taran-
tula thus paralyzed, the wasp cleans
herself carefully, ticks the oozing
blood neatly from the wound, and
drags the unconscious victim over to
a grave which she has already dug in
advance, Borgialike, for the occasion.
The tarantula is stuffed into the grave
and the wasp lays her egg on the
p corpse" She covers the opening
with earth and goes away. The paraly-
sis affects the entire body and stops
the heart. Nevertheless a gradual
recovery takes place, but the taran-
tula cannot escape because the earth
has been packed too tightly over her.
When the larva energies from the
wasp egg it feeds on its paralyzed
provision until it is old enough to
leave its underground birthplace.

Device That Combines
=, Field Glass and Cur

A field-glass gun has been devised
which serves the purpose of both
light gun and a powerful glass. A
short barrel is rugged between pair
Of telescopes, and bar with a re-
coil pad extends to the forehead to
take the "kick" from the discharge.
If heavy caliber is used, shoulder
stock can also be provided so that the
shooter will not suffer too great a
shock.
The telescope gun does better work
than the ordinary rifle telescope be-
cause it gives the advantage of pair
Of binoculars and is much lighter and
more convenient to handle The old
rifle telescope, which has become fair
ly common, does not allow enough
light to reach the eye, so that its best
use is confined to target shooting. A
deer hunter in the woods Is hardly
able to distinguish an animal he has
seen when he sights through the tele-
scope. Two well-constructed tele-
scopes, mounted as part Of the gun
as in this device, should prove OF
great value, and may replace the old
type, Just as binoculars have replaced
the telescope in great many uses OF
the latter instrument.

Acadians Returned to
Get Hidden Treasure

When the Acadians were driven
from their homes in what is now
Nova Scotia In 1865, by the British
and Colonial troops from New Eng
land, their expulsion came so sud-
denly that they made haste to bury
their valuables, hoping that at some
time they might return for them.
Some of them did return but 9TH
ers, it would appear, were not so
fortunate, for at various times, pots
and chests containing money and
other valuables have been uncovered.
There is a story well known in the
region about family living on the
north shore of Cumberland basin in
1884. One evening members of the
family saw a boat anchored about a
mile from land and speculated as to
its mission. Next morning it had
gone and little later it was dis
covered that block Of stone that
served as a doorstep in front of the
house had been moved. Beneath where
it had lain was the imprint Of a
three-legged pot, doubtless having
contained valuables left by the AGA
dians nearly a century before

"TROPIC DEATH"
By Eric Walrond. Published by
Boni & Liveright, Inc, 81 West
48th Street, New York City. Price
$3.50.
"Tropic Death" is a series of vivid
pictures of the West Indies and Cen
trail America, pictures of the hot, de-
vastating summer, when "the sun
had robbed the land of it's juice and
equeezed it dry" when frogs gasped
for air, their white beasts like fowls,
soft and palpitating." Pictures of
the coming of the rain, splashes of
rain, the earth murmuring under it.
"Gone the dust. Red mud flowed
over the land" Pictures of the
tropic sea. Sometimes it was so
blue it blinded you. Another time it
would turn with the cannon roar of
the sun, red" Pictures of the hous-
ing of the workers at Colon. 1.-THE
row of lecherous huts, the faces and
TANKS of tenements" from which one
looked down onto galvanized roof
that the sun bristled." Pictures of
peasant huts, of an insect life that
crawls over squirming bodies, of
sickness and poverty and death. AL
ways pictures of death.
For the title of this volume fore
shadows it's contents. Each tale ends
with the end of a life. 1t may be
Beryl, her skinny body lost in her
crocus bag frock, eating the dust of
the earth in time of famine, later
lying dead, her stomach resembling
"a wind-filled balloon" 1t may be
the little boy Gerald, his father a
leper, he soon to follow him to Palo
Seco; or Ballet killed by a marine,
or Ernest, diving for money and eat
en- by a shark. Of one thing you may
be assured as you start in with new
sketch, stark tragedy will be your
portion, and death by honorable or
dishonorable means your end. Only
once do you have bewildering sur
prise, once the villain not the vir-
tuous, is taken.
Poverty, sickness and sorrow,
these are the lot of the black people
who move through "Tropic Death"
Whether it is typical or not, certain
ly each tale rings true. A sad pict-
ure of these British tropics. What
contrast to what Vandercook found
in Surinam. One questions whether
the difference is a matter of the tenn
permanent of the authors or whether
as Vandercook believes, savagery pre-
sents finer life in the tropics than
civilization.

GRAIN MARKET.
(By Dispatch A. p. wire)

CHICAGO, Aug. 5.-Rapid progress of
harvest northward with some new
wheat already loaded in Canada, did a
good deal today to give wheat values
downward swing. The wheat mar
l1et closed heavy, ~ cent to 1 5s cents
net lower, corn at Il cent decline to
5s cent advance, oats 3s cent to rs cent
down and provisions varying from 40
cents off to II cents gain.
With harvest nearing completion in
the more advanced section of the
American northwest, the movement of
the spring crop is increasing. Thresh-
ing returns are mixed, but reports of
wheat yields better than expected in
parts of the domestic spring crop belt
were a bearing factor. Besides, ad-
vices today from field observers in
Canada told of favorable weather and
indicated less likelihood of minimum
production, which recently has been
looked for by some authorities. In
particular, Saskatchewan is reported to
have larger crop than is generally
supposed.
Although commission houses were
good buyers of wheat today on down.
turns in price and notwithstanding that
there was also buying of wheat to
close spreads, the wheat market most
of the time acted tired. Export de-
mand for North American wheat was
described as slow, with business small
ler than yesterday. Premiums, how
ever, at the gulf of Mexico were firm.
Some Illinois wheat testing 16 to 20
per cent moisture, sold here today at
8 cents to 20 cents under the Septem-
ber prices. Corn rallied in the late
trade, hot weather over the greater
portion of the corn belt acting as a
stimulus to buy. Oats traders took
their cue from wheat.
Most of the provisions list was high
er, helped by an upturn in the value of
hogs.
