In America they are farmers, fruit rais- miners and factory workers. They are sailors on all the seas, work- ing under many flags. They make straw hats in Central America and send them to the United States. They catch crabs in ths Gulf of Mexico and fish in the Pacific Ocean along the . shore of southern California, They ship. vegetables from Mexico, sell milk in Chicago and keep little restaurants fn most of the larger citles in all par's of the world.

Strange to say, the stony, unpro- ductive valleys and cliffs and peaks amid which these people are reared, exercise a charm over them which neither time nor distance can break and which brings scores of thousands of them home to visit or live.

EARL North American Datum In the highly technical rok the geodetic measurement of the North Americah continent it is obvious that one basis or system should be used in order to obtain the highest results in economy and efficiency. The three countries involved, namely, Canada, the United States, and Mexico, con- forming to the calculations of Clarke, the English mathematician, as to size and shape of the earth, regard Meade's Ranch, in Kansas, as the initial point most fully approaching geodetic con- ditions. Measurements are made in the Dominion by the Geodetic Survey. of Canada, Department of the Interior, linking up with those emanating from that point, and the term North Ameri- can Datum is used to designate this ! condition of harmony in the scheme of triangulation by which the continent is measured.

Plant Poisons Discovered To Be Deadly Insecticides \ - London.--The ancient art of mal- ing fish poisons from certain plants has been put to a new use in killing insect pests that destroy crops, F. N. Howes, British botanist, writes in a recent, bulletin of the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew. Heretofore one of the main poisons for insects has been arsenic, which is administered in the form of spray solution. Many pests, however, have developed an immunity and are able to swallow considerable 'preciable harm, according to this authority. 1: . Investigators found that fish pois- Pns made from plants were a highly efficient substitute. Dilutions of as have been found to be fatal to insects on contact. Derris, an Indian group of plants, har been found to The bulletin proposes to spray plants with arsenic poison for a few seasons, and then to substitute the plant poison in order to offset the immune strains that may evolve and kill them. Most of the fish poisons that have been found are of tropical origin, and one of the most promising is the South American cube, These, with derris, belong to the gume family, relatives of clover. These plants can be grown as fertil- izer crops in rubber groves, thus taining two paying crops from same land and enriching the soil at the same time, Another ancient plant used as & fish poisin 'is mullein, which America as well as Europe. fi i When His Worship Mayor R.

"Lost" Energy Used Up In Expanding Universe 'Washington.--The old question of what becomes of the energy that is radiated into space by the sun and stars in the form of heat, light and ultraviolet rays is answered by We. deSitter, the famous astronomer of Leiden. In a report to the National Academy of Sciences he says it is "more than used up in the work of expanding the universe." Sick-Room™Rules A sick-room should be airy and well ventilated. It should be as large and lofty as possible and the windows should open at the top. No article of unnecessary furniture should be per- mitted to remain in the room, and all that is in it should be of a kind that can be easily washed with soap and water, Medicine glasses should be washed in soapy water and thoroughly rinsed after each dose is administered. Many medicines alter their properties, and DeSitter means that the portion of space which contains particles of mat- ter is limited, and that the section con- taining the matter. is constantly ex- panding in all directions, This is the portion of space that contains what men call solid substance. | meen Mother Sea Cow Teaches !

As soon as salt is received it should be removed from its packst, then spread out thinly on a warm surface and allowed to remain there until per- fectly dry. Pour into glass containers --glass jam jars suit the purpose ad- mirably--and cover securely. A metal container should never be used for storing salt. Only a small quantity should he kept in the salt cellar, especially if it is open. Salt quickly absorbs any moisture that may be in the atmos- phere. A few grains of rice in the cellar will help to prevent the salt} from becoming lumpy. re less Menace in Gas Fumes Carbon Monoxide Danger: Every motorist should take the utmost pre- caution against this most insidious gas, especially at. this season of the year, Cars should not be repaired in closed garages while the motor is run- ning, and at no time should a person remain in a closed building while the engine of a car is turning.

Nevertheless, the city of Florence played football 400 years ago, under the patronage ef the Medici, rulers of Florence, and of three Popes who were themselves good players in their Youth. A football match was always a most important part of any public festivity on great occasions. Much pomp and ceremonial attended the games. These special state occasion matches were ith all the nobles and townsfolk pre- sent in gala attire. Even the players donned festive garments, silk and | satin doublets and hose, and a close skull cap--the forerunner of our crash J helmet. - b The square pitch was divided into two equal parts, with goalposts at each end. The ball was a round leather one like ours to-day. Though the game was a species of Soccer, goals were scored by kicking the ball over the crossbar, as in Rugger, and not be- tween the posts beneath, They went in for mass games, too, for the teams numbered twenty-seven a side--fifteen forwards, nine half: backs, two full-backs, aiid a goalkeep- er, After each goal scored the teams changed sides, but they did it with' more spectacle and ceremony than we do. In these games the leading side changed over with flags flying, and the | losers with flags lowered. Another rule which has a modern ring about it was that two penalties counted as a goal. Still more amusing is the descrip- tion of the game by a writer of that day, who called it "noble and courtly, and not fit for the populace!" . Football figures in Italian history in the famous match during the siege of Florence, 400 years ago, when the young men of the city played a public game as a gesture of courage and de- fiance to the enemy. How the Alphabet Was Made "Influenc@ of mouth gesture on the development of the Alphabet" was the subject of an address by Sir Richard Paget before the Anthropology Sec- tion, reports the Daily Telegraph. "It was pointed out by Sir Richard that, just as speech appeared to have developed from pantomimic gesture, owing to an unconscious sympathy between the movement of the human hands and body onkue, of the hu- man mouth and tongue, so the de- velopments of alphabets appeared to have been influenced by a corres- ponding sympathy of movement be- tween the human mouth and tongue and the human hand. "If the alphabets of different na- tlons were examined it was found that in the letters standing for the sounds of P, B, M, and W, and also those for the vowel sound U--in all of which sounds the two lips are more or less protruded and brought to- gether--the symbols are commonly suggestive, either of a closed mouth, or of two lips closed or projected, or on the point of opening. Examples given from our own alphabet by Sir Richard were:-- "A, which was orginally written lylng on its side, suggests an open mouth facing right. "B is the profile of two lips, point- ing towards the right. ; "E represents a mouth pointing to the right, with fhe tongue at mid- height, as in pronouncing the sound of e in men. 3 "I is an elevated tongue, as in the sound of ea in eat. . "L is another vertical tongue sign. "M represents two lips in profile, pointing upwards. "0 is a front view of a rounded | mouth. \ "T is a vertical tongue, touching the horizontal palate. "U and V are both pairs of protrud- ed lips. » "W is a pair of lips, like M, but pointing down instead of up. "Every letter of our alphabet, ex- cept H and Q," sald Sir Richard, "was closely related to the shape of mouth! which produces it."--Public Opinion. Cohasset Auto Has Become Necessity, One would not call the automobile a luxury, but a common-sense, thor- Withont Says Dr. Robert Gruenwald, writing in the Illustrirte Zeitung (Leipzig): Although these statements have but a limited foundation, still, on the other hand, it will hardly be necessary te - look very far to establish the fact that animal 'life does not compare im length with vegetable life. Organisms more than four thousand years old, such as the baobabs, or of only one thousand years, as some oaks and ced ars, hardly find a counterpart in ani mal life. As a general rule, the active animals have shorter lives than the lazy ones that lead a life of ease. And all ani mals whose vitality is spent in a con- stant struggle against the inclemency . of the weather, against an infinite number of -enemies--those which ia constant fear and misery lead a fugl tive's life filled with privations, cam not, much as they may have become hardened in this struggle, attain the - old age that falls to the lot of animal sluggards, in their almost emotionless and effortless existence. Of mammals, only a few exceed am age of more than thirty years, we learn. Further: Only the elephants with more than two hundred years and the whales, perhaps also the hippopotamus and the rhinoceros, live longer than man, The camel, too, hat a rather long life, whereas deer and horses grow to _be almost forty years old, the bovine ani mals about thirty years, and the { medium-sized mammals a little over ten. The lion hardly lives to be over thirty-five, the sheep fifteen, the fox fourteen, the hare ten, the squirrel and mouse only six years. Among the birds, eagles and parrots | may grow to be one hundred years olds In 1772, at the Cape of Good Hope, a falcon was caught with a band around its neck bearing the inscription "Jacob 1610." A white-headed vulture of the Schoenbrunn Menageria remained one hundred and eighteen years in cap- tivity. The Indians said of Humboldt's well-known parrot of Atures (Venezue- la) that it could not be understood be- cause it spoke the language of the ex- tinct tribe of that name. Canaries and other singing birds grow about eigh- teen years, chickens twelve, pigeons only ten. A cuckoo, known by its de- fective call, was heard for thirty-two consecutive years in the same woods. The reptiles may grow exceptionally old. The barachia, too, have a long life, whenever they do not fall a prey to wading birds, reptiles, and fishes. Cases of old age are also well known among the lowest vertebrates, the fishes. It has been reported that at Kaiserlautern, in the year 1497, a pike was caught which, according to the statement of an inscription upon a ring attacned to one of the flaps, was placed iu the pond in the year 1230. In contrast to this possible longevity in the vertebrates, the life term of the invertebrates is much briefer. It is true that some shell-fishes reach the age of about twenty years, and that parasites may live several years. While the drones live at most four to five months, the age of the queen-bees may reach five years. Still with the majority of insects life comes very rapidly to an end, although in the case af none as quickly as that of the day- fly and some butterflies. It is obvious that with such dissimi- larity in length of life the beginning of; old age also comes at different times, we are reminded. Hence: There appear in animals symptoms of old age, but not always 4 completa change of life, as with our domestie animals. Many animals become mor- ose and unsociable, withdraw sullenly from their own kind and lead the cheerless life of a hermit. In old birds one may notice a change to somber coloring in the plumage. In reptiles, which are known to change their garb quite frequently during the year, this change grows more difficult with ine creasing age. ------ "Will you take gas?"
