Finds People Entirely Free From Tooth Decay Where are the people with the most perfect teeth? They are the inhabiti ants of Tristan da Cunha, in the South ) Atlantic. When their teeth were ex- - amined by the president of the Dental ~ Society of Cape Province, it was found that out of 156 persens, ranging in age from infancy to ninety-two, the teeth - of 131 were entirely free from decay. The oldest man on the island had a complete set, ~ The secret of this dental perfection is in the diet of these islanders. They live chiefly on fish, potatoes, milk and eggs, and the peculiar rule of their diet is to eat only one thing at each - meal, If the menu for the day is fish, they eat it without any additions, barring even salt or any sort of dressing or condiment. They carry out this rule with all items of food, even with penguins’ eggs.—Tit-Bits Magazine, - The Doodle Bug The term doodle bug is a local name for the larva of the ant-lion. The larva digs a small conical pit in sandy soil in the bottom of which it lies buried with its long jaws protruding to catch any insects, especially ants which fall into the pit. If its prey attempts to climb out, the doodle bug togses sand upon it by movements of the head, causing it to fall back again. The insect in question is, of course, neither an ant nor a lion. The name is suggestive of the fact that it preys upon ants as lons prey upon antelopes, for example. The ant-lion occurs in the United States in sheltered places where -loose sand is available for the particular pits built by the larvae. The imago, or adult insect, has long gfuzy wings, both pairs alike, and is about the size of a dragon fly to which it is related. The installation of the newly elected officers of the W. R. C. will be held. Friday night.

Grasshoppers Belong to : Buzzing Locust Family Locusts are usually assoclated with destruction, as accounts of these Insects, descending as a plague upon hapless localities, describe how they voraciously devour everything in sight. Such destructive tendencies, however, cannot be ascribed to all varieties of locusts, says a writer in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. : Grasshoppers, which are a member of the locust family, are among the most familiar of the destroyers. They have been known to fly in such numbers as to darken the sky and descending on farms soen eat up the growing crops. In Europe the word “locust” brings to mind insects of a large size. The largest locusts are found in the tropics. One outstanding variety of this insect is the Imdo-Malay singing locust. This is just -one of the many thousands of varieties of these insects whose choruses have been borne by the wind to ships at sea. The locust is a familiar insect to North America, where its song is associated with summer heat. The majority of the American locusts inhabit the same area throughout the year. There are, however, several species of migratory locusts which breed on the slopes of the Cascade, Rocky and Sierra mountains. These insects migrate in great swarms during the summer when the grass of these regions dries up. As cultivation is being extended through these areas the migration of the locusts is decreasing.

Land grants were concessions or subsidies made by the United States to settlers, war veterans and to assist railroad companies to obtain funds, by the sale of bonds' secured by lands so granted, to construct lines of railway through parts of the United States where the traffic would not pay the running expenses. About 215,000,000 acres of land was given to the rallroads of the country by the government. The Illinois Central received a strip of land 12 miles wide, running the whole length of Illinois; the Northern Pacific’ received 47,000,000 acres; the Atlantic & Pacific, 42,000,000; the Union Pacific, 13,000,000, and other roads in proportion.

The Meiji shrine is one of the most sacred places in Japan. It is dedicated to the great Emperor Meiji and his consort, under whose guidance the country rose from a third-class nation to a first-class power. The spirit of the great mikado is believed to dwell in the shrine. There is a constant procession of people coming to pray and a continuous rain of coins in the huge contribution box, which is about ten feet long, four feet wide, and four feet deep. You cannot miss it.

Some human beings become charged with an astonishing amount of static electricity, whieh is only seen in the form of discharges on combing hair or touching metal. There are cases on record in which these sparks were so strong that they accidentally ignited coal gas and even vapors emanating from paint remover and rubber cement.—Collier’s Weekly. :
