Ingenious Farmer Devises Fly Trap to Brush Pests Off Herd of Dairy Cows A fact not fully appreciated even among fanner; Is the- economic loss In rallk production caused by mosquitoes and flies. An Ohio dairymnn owning 2 cow devised a home-built fly trap, and after It had been In operation a week calculated the difference In milk production. He wan obtaining 11 Ballons a day more than when the flies were unrestricted In their pernicious activities. In low-lying localities where Insects have favorable breeding conditions, the late spring mosquito ecourge Is sometimes so bad ns to destroy the proGts In rallk production. Some farmers use home-devUed traps, as did the Ohio dairyman. Some wash their herds with preparations, manufactured commercially, which effectively reduce the pest. Put the great majority of herds continue to go through the fly reason protected against files only by the weapon with which nature equips them the tall and an inefficient weapon It 1. too, beside what the dairyman can furnish. The cow which spends the entire day P.thtlnc flies does not consume the roughage needed for maximum yield ;it night. The Ohio man built a lean-to, through which the herd passed. Across It In the middle were flexible curtains

fitting closely about the cow whi'h bru-hed the files off. The dairyman following closed both doors, leaving the (lies to cluster on a window, where they were quickly shot to death with a fly powder. Pid the cattle appreciate this device? Indeed they did, to stu It an extent that they soon learned to go through It without driving.

For the time being the dirigible has overshadowed the submarin in marvel of performance. It is as if the submarine had exhausted its possibilities of winder and had become commonplace. It Is suc-vsted. now that the destructive work of the submarine is completed. It be prepared for service In the cause of science and to clear up the mysteries f the seas, says the Iluffalo News. Thert are the treasure galleons, there Is the Titanic and the Lusitania, the collier Cyclops, to call the undersea boats to adventure. If ever they rould jret down to the floor of the sa where thee lost ships are hold, there would be untold wealth for th m. An Italian navigator has come forward with the suggestion that the submarine should be put to work to test for fabl or fact the tales of the lost Atlantis, the island once great and populous that was overwhelmed by the sea because the people of it had atitrered the gods. There may have been such an Wand lost In a seismic cmvulsion. oh, there is work enough fur the submarine In many fields of discovery. Hut th craft must be made much more powerful than any we know now If they ar going" to the uttermost depths of the ocean. It probably will be many", many yenrs before they ran accomplish such a lrop. but In the meantime they will not he Idle.

Eggs Travel 8,000 Miles Frcm China to New York By the Way of Vancouver i::g!it th piisar.d miles to market Is a bug way for even Maple foods to Havel, but when eggs make such a long trip It Is "going some." T'H'se cgjgs, ll.T-oo cases ef them, nine nil ihe way from t'liina to New York city, via Vancouver, and traveled slowly by boat and train. When tl.ey arrived at New York th.y were examined by a representative of ;he bureau of markets, department of agriculture, who reports that the eggs were packed in ca-es similar to the otu's used in domestic trade but made of heavier material, resembling pine, of about the same thickness as is um I In domestic export eases. The average net weight of eggs per case was about 4 pounds. The I'hlnese 'ggs were of a deep brown color and slightly smaller than the average domestic egg. The Khlpment showed losses of from 12 to 18 eggs per ease. I'nder the light, some of the -ggs showed quite a heavy shrinkage, while others were very full. The whites were weak in a number of eggs, and when they were broken showed very w atery, though the eggs were swtct. and the yolks stood up well. The shells of these eggs are much thicker than the average American egg. and the yolk is .f a somewhat deeper color. When candled these eggs are said to make first-class eheap eggs for tin1 use of bnk'rs and hotels and for coking purposes.

Rapid Rise ot United States as a Naval Power WASHINGTON. The rnpid rise of the United States as a naval power during the past two years is graphically lemonst rated In figures compiled bv the navy department' ollie of naval Intelligence. The Tinted States, closely pressed by France in T.M7 for

its plae ns third naval power in the world, is now second only to Oreat Ihltain and Is pushing to completion a building program that will make the American navy a formidable contender for first naval honors. A little more than two yenrs ago, the figures show, Oermany, then second naval power, boasted more than inn more ships of all classes than the t'mt.-.l Shitcs. with :i tot.'il ttilina'o

The circumstances were as follows: The plnlntifT. one Hampden, entertained the opinion thut the world was

Emotion Precipitated In Crystals by Fancy I would not be supposed to overlook the distinction, too often lost sight of, between sentlmeatalls.n and sentiment, the latter being a Very excellent hing in Its way, ns genuine things nre iipt to be.
