Electric Lamps Lure
Moths to Their Death

Finding that from 80 to 80 per cent
of the tomato crops in a certain dis
trict were ruined by grubs at the cen.
ter of the fruit, a professor of the En-
tomological institute In Switzerland
had the happy thought of seeing
whether the moths laying the eggs
from which these larvae were Matched
could be destroyed by electricity.
He installed eight electric lamps,
varying from so to 200 watts, about
three feet from the ground. The
lamps were furnished with refectors
directed toward the soil, and under
meath the lamps were placed basins
filed with water on the top of which
was poured a little petrol.
The plan proved highly successful.
The moths. attracted and bewildered
by the lights, were drowned By thou
sands In the bowls beneath the lamps,
and as a result so acres yielded per
feet fruit, while neighboring lots of
land not so protected lost from 80 to
90 per cent OF their crops.
The same method has been tried
with equal success in connection with
melon culture, and the fruit has been
free from worms and graded as per
feet.

Picture Depicts the
First Forms of Life

Scientists generally agree that the
first forms Of life originated in water
and an effort to illustrate this has
been made In an oil painting by Charles
r. knight of New York, which has
been placed In the hall of historical
geology Of the Field Museum Of Nat
ural History. The painting is a pres
ent by a patron Of the Institution.
The artist gave a great deal Of time
to scientific investigation before max
ing the painting. In 1t be has por-
trayed these earliest known forms Of
life as appearing in a group Of pools
Within the waters Of these pools algae
Of a blue green hue are shown In such
quantities as to tint the liquid with
their colors. They also have built up
a series of stony basins. In other
pools cushlon-shaped forms Of pink
algae are shown Other portions of
the deposits are seen to be tlnged
brown or orange by algae Of the colors.
The adjoining rocks are represented
as being bare and naked, no other life
being In existence at this time. The
rocks are mostly Of black lava, but
some areas Of a reddish color are
shown to indicate the great iron-bear-
ing deposits which were also formed
at this time.

Commuter Would Like
Help in His Dilemma

bis breakfast hadn't agreed with

before and he had to run for the 8 :05.
As he hadn't finished his usual olga
rette on the way to the station, he
stood on the platform to finish 1t. The
train started and just as 1t was gain
ing speed. a girl tried to hop to the
last step. She missed the step and
was hanging on, when the commuter
grabbed her and pulled her up to the
step.
He expected, after the girl COM
posed herself, smile Of gratitude or
at least few words Of thanks. BE
did not expect the torrent of abuse
which she hurled at his head.
"If 1t hadn't been for you" she
raved, 81 would have pulled myself
up and wouldn't have lost my new

bis mind yet whether to help women
in distress or let them-help them
selves.-New York Sun.

Milk is not the best food for grown
