DESTROY BROWN-TAIL MOTH contact With Hair, of Insect Causes poisonous Raab on Human Beto Tr, infls Big Menace to Trees. One of the moat serious effects of ; the presence of the brown-tail moth in a community is that of the peculiar skin disease it may produce. Some of j the hairs of the full grown caterpHr are furnished with minute barbs. When the caterpillars molt these I barbed hairs are shed with the skin and as the skins become dry and are blown about by the wind the hairs may be quite generally disseminated, j When the hairs alight upon the human skin they cause an irritation, which upon rubbing may develop ino inflammation. Men who come in contract with ' these poisonous hairs during their ' work in the parasitic laboratory In Massachusetts, use the following rem- ; edy for the brown-tail rash : Carbolic acid onehalf dram, zinc oxide onehalf ounce, lime water eight ounces; Vanous Forms of Hairs Frcm BrownTail Math Caterpillar. shake thoroughly and work well into the affected parts. This has proven a most effective remedy. According to Doctor Riley, the brown tail moth was introduced Into this country from Europe ab ut the year 1S90. The pest has spread rapidly over New England and New York and there is every prospect that it will continue to spread until it reaches the middle and western states. Wherever it goes it will prove a serious pest to man a well as to his trees and plantsPREVENT BAD TRICK OF COW Arrange G rtb Strap Through Rings So She Cannst Suck Herself Use Go;d Strong Hatter.

Then she looked at his palm and told him to cross it with a silver coin, preferably a half dollar. Always accommodating. Peterson did so. Just then the queen looked suddenly at the ceiling Peterson looked also II hen be turned his eyes back to his palm the half dollar had disappeared. Dern it. the trick was did quicker n scat," be explained later to th; desk sergeant the Desplaineg street station.

She said I had enemies, but that in the end I would leave them all behind. Then she began to go through some hocus prxus movements, and when I looked at my hand the two-dollar bill was gone. She said the spirits got it! " 'Now air. t that funny?' she asked, and got me to cross my palm with some more money. I got to thinking about what the boys told me about town slickers and it didn't look right. I just decided that she had wnt too far. so I came over here to see if it was all right " The desk seeant advised him to swear out a warrant-

New York's Police Learning How to Wigwag

signals. The police department of New York Is being placed on a war footing, that is. to the extent that a signal

corpe has been created. The men waving the flags from the tops of skyscrapers are not weather forecasters, but policemen trying to learn the wigwag system in use in the I'nited State army. In the unlikely event of war. New York probably would be the first point attacked by the enemy. Also, in the event of serious riots New York would be virtually In a state of

war. In either exigency the New police, at the outset anyway, would have to bear the brunt of the trouble, and for this reason the powers that be have decided that the police should know how to wigwag. Not satisfied with entire dependence upon the telephone In case of riots or war. Police Commissioner Woods inaugurated a wigwag tstem of communication between police headquarters and every precinct in the five boroughs Information to that effect came when two policemen were seen on the roof of the municipal building waving signal flags with more enthusiasm than accuracy. In transmitting messages, flags and heliographs are used by the policemen during the day and powerful signaling lamps by night, the army code being followed. The harbor police are using the Morse code of the navy, Quartermaster Brauer of the navy yard being in charge of the instruction.

Then other printing establishments consented to run off facsimiles of tbe authorized paper. The federal authorities here and at Washington were made acquainted with what was being done, but professed inability to interfere. Much of this counterfeit has been sold at a fraction of Its supposed face value in San Francisco for goou American dollars on the pretext that the purchaser could negotiate it at its face value on the border or Just across the line When the facts reached the ears of Villa he issued a proclamation that any of his followers or others caught with this bogus money on their persons, or detected in sn effort to use it. would be executed. It is said that several such executions have taken place recently.

Man Is Found Living

PHILADELPHIA Michael Marhill was found sleeping In the dead end of an unused sewer at Torresdaie avenue and Cottman street, where he had i been living for a week. He entered through a manhole and had arranged a j rough board table and bunk. That

portion of the eight toot sewer was recently completed and through the manhole Machill obtained light and air. According to Policeman Mager, who discovered him. Machill was living in comfort. The Tacony police were given a surprise when the phone rang. Say. listen.' came an excited voice there is a man living in a sewer up at Torresdaie avenue and

SAYS ACTION IS NOT INSTANT

Gravitation, as Electrical Phenomenon, Explained by Scientist of Worldwide Fame. Gravitation is an electrical phenorn enon and does not act instantly across space, but is transmitted with the velocity of light, thus coming from the sun to the earth in eight minutes. Ho says Prof. Thomas Jefferson Jackson See famous astronomer, in his tioo-word memoir entitled: "Electro dynamic Theory of Magnetism and of Universal Gravitation. Discovery of the Cause of Gravitation, With Proof That This Fundamental Force of Nature I Propagated With the V-U-ity of Light. " He claims to have discovered the secret of gravitation and has put the information in the hands of the Royal society of London. Professor See is an astronomer of note He is a graduate of the University of Missouri and has received the degree of Ph. I) from the University of Berlin, for which institution he was later an observer. He is now a naval observer for the United States government and is stationed at the Mare Island navy yard. Professor See holds that gravitation is due to elementary currents of electricity circulating around atoms of matter. Ampere, the celebrated French scientist, discovered in 1820 that two parallel currents of electricity floating in opposite directions re pel. Following the lines first taken by Ampere, Professor See baa worked out his theory of gravitation. TIN HAT IS INNOVATION Designer Puts Forth Many Reasons Why It Should Be Accepted as an Article of Attire. The latest innovation in men's apparel has been sprung by W. H. Whiting of Jonesboro. Me. It is a tin hat. with a band made of copper. He fashioned the natty headpiece himself. It is not only very light in weight, but he claims that it Is cheaper than a straw "bonnet." lasts longer and is absolutely rainproof. Whiting's tin hat has a luster all Its own. something that takes the shine off all other hats. It Is more showy than Mambrino's helmet, made famous by Don Quixote. Whiting's hat is made of tin. common sheet tin. the samo kind of tin that baked beans and sardines and tomatoes are put in. It is built on a Itll model and no fashionable youth of the town can "put anything over" on him in the matter of s?v it is neat, but not gaudy, a tir 'ody with a copper band. not quite as brilliant as a ribbon with college colors, but more substantial and quite as attractive At least. It attracts plenty of attention when Whiting wears it on the streets. Career of Duke of the Abruzzi. The Duke of the Abruzzi. commander-in-chief of Italy's navy, comes of j a famous fighting house the House of Savoy. He is forty two years old. ; and is mainly known to the world as an intrepid explorer, particular'. as a mountaineer In IWT he ascended the frozen heights of Mount Elias in ! Alaska, a feat, it is said, never theretofore performed. Two years later came his polar expedition, in which he made a point farther north i than Nansen had reached This was followed by mountaineering feats in Africa an1 among the Himalayas. In , early boyhood the duke showed a fondness for the sea. and entered the ' Italian navy at the minimum age He was educated at the naval school at Leghorn, and ha; had a most successful career as an officer of thg fleet, having risen In the service by his own merits and industi Battle Famous in History. The capture of Warsaw antedated hy a day another historic anniversary ; in German history, the battle of Woerth. August 6. 1870. Here the French under Marshal McMahon. fresh from their defeat by the Prus sians at Welssenburg. ten miles away, were again overwhelmed by the vic- . torious Germans The fiercest fight ing occurred In the villsge of Preschweller. which had to be stormed, the struggle in the streets being of the , most desperate charr.i ter as may be Judged by the fact that the Prussian loss was 10.000 and the French 8.000 with MM prisoners.

Even if the number of permanently Invalided equaled a million more, this drain would have little effect Half of the world's population is less than twenty-one years of ace Out of three or four hundred million of people now at war. the number of young men who will have within the year become of military age will far exceed the number killed and disabled.
