Peach Growers Friends.

The ladybird beetles are perhaps the
most beneficial of the several insects
that act as n check on the peach tree
insects. They prey upon scale in
sects, aphids and thrlps. The twice
stabbed ladybird beetle Is usually
prevalent Oh peach trees that are
heavily infested with the San Jose
scale. 1t is Jet black in color and
has two orange or red spots on the
back. Ladyblrd beetles take their
nourishment by sucking scale insects
dry. They also assist materially In
checking infestatiuns of the rusty
brown plum aphid or other aphids.
Surplus 1ies, laceWing flies, tachina
flies, ground beetles and some of the
assassin bugs and praying mantis
are other insects that are beneficial
to the peach grower.

Poets Lyric Tribute
to Queen of Beauty

Julian Hawthorne saw a great deal
OF Joaquin Miller, the Poet of the
Sierras," when both were living in
London years ago. a writer in the
Kansas City Times tells US. Once at
a garden party at which Lille Lang
try-then in the first bloom Of her
beauty-was the center of attraction,
Hawthorne introduced the poet TO the
ravlshing Jersey Lily.
81 left them talking prosperously,"
relates Hawthorne In his reminis-
cences, "Shapes That Pass" but Joa-
quin came Fastening after me in
few moments.
"'Have you got a bit Of paperr he
asked 4 have a pencil she wants
me to write her a lyric
81 found an old envelope In my
pocket" adds Julian, "he seized 1t, and
squatted down on the turf, where l
left him scribbllng and went back to
keep Lille till he was ready. 1t
seemed hardly FIVE minutes before he
came stalking toward us smiling In his
yellow beard and waving the en-
velope."
And here is the lyric. Hawthorne
says he does not think It has been In
print till now:
II all Gods earth a garden were.
And all the women flowers.
And I bee that buzzed there
Through all the summer hours.
Oh. I would buzz the garden through
For honey-till I came to you!

Animals and Science.

Tetanus antitoxin, for instance, is
often used to prevent tetanus In
wounded animals. Antlanthrax serum

First George Seen as
Disgrace to Royalty

When the devil was asked how many
monarchs he had In his keeping, the
legend has 1t he replied, "All that ever
reigned." 1t is certain that during
the reign Of George / there were many
Engllshmen who heartily consigned
their monarch to the neither regions
but even at his death 1t is unlikely he
obliged them because he had never
really reigned.
his court, however, was one Of the
worst that ever afflicted Great Britain.
The German courts whence he came
had taken their tone from the
prohigacy Of Versailles and George
Louis was too heavy minded to be an
exception. All was coarse and vulgar
around his throne and the attendants
and mistresses he brought along with
him sought to make their fortune out
Of the nation upon which he had been
foisted.
George could not even speak Eng
llsh, nor could his ministers speak
German. So the king absented him
self from cabinet meetings and let the
nation run itself while he pursued his
own pleasures. One Of his amuse.
ments between vices was to sit on the
floor and cut out paper dolls.
II the king liked anybody, man or
woman, they could have anything they
wanted Women were given appoint
ments that belonged only to men;
men utterly untitled were given posi-
lions of great responsibility. Certain
infants at birth were made coronets
or enslgns In the army and received
pay up to a marriageable age. He
died In 1727.-Detroit News.

Woman Knew Good Thing.

During the mining boom days in
Nevada woman came to Virginia
City from San Francisco and dis
played handful of stock certificates
In the famous ComstOck mines She
said that she had been persuaded to
buy them, at few dollars a share,
and that she had been informed the
stock had now gone up to 5000 a
share. Being informed that was the
price quoted she declared she wanted
to sell. Buyers appeared so willing
even at that price that she became
suspicious and went out to see the
mines and mills. She knew nothing
about mining, but such was the activ.
ity and the prevalent atmosphere OF
optimism that she turned to her son,
who accompanied her, and said. ut
will go to a thousand. Come on
home, Detroit News.

Speed of Falling BODY.

An experiment was recently con-
Quoted to determine how fast a man
falls when dropped from great
height. The velocity was found to be
considerably lower than that deducted
from the theory of falling bodies.
Were there no atmosphere, a man
would fall 10 feet the first second
"a feet in two seconds; 246 feet in
four seconds; 1924 feet in eight sec
Onds, etc, the distance Increasing as
the square Of the time. Due to the re-
sistance Of the air, however, there
comes a time when the velocity is no
longer Increased. This is known as
the terminal velocity" and was found
to be less than 200 miles an hour 1t
was reached after the man Dummy
had fallen 1000 feet

Sheep First Used for
TRANSMISSION of Blood

The first TRANSMISSION Of blood to a
human being took place November %,
1867, at a meeting Of the Royal So
ciety In London. silver tube was
used to connect the carotid vein Of q
sheep with a vein in the subjects
arm. Samuel Pepys, famous diarlst,
was among those present and he de-
scribes the patient as "a poor and de-
bauched man that the college had
hired for 20 shilllngs to have some OF
the blood of sheep let into his body
. their purpose to let in about IL
ounces, which they compute Is what
viii be let In in a minutes time by the
watch"
Dr. John A. Kolmer, In Hygeia Mag
azine. quotes the transactions of the
society for December 0, a week later,
which reported that "the man, after
this operation as well as In 1t, found
himself very well and hath given his
own narrative under his own hand en-
larglng more upon the benefit he
thinks he hath received by 1t than we
think fit TO own as yet"

Glow Worm Still Puzzle.

Because it is to be found IN the

glowworm is generally regarded as a
worm, but It is really beetle and
