Eng., has confirmed the flj^s bad reputation as a possible car rier of disease, and has proven that the insect can travel to a greater distance from its place of origin than has been sometimes stated. As the village has no favorable breeding spots, the advent of the flies aroused A suspicion against a refuse heap half a mile away. Flies were captured in various scattered localities, marked with a dusting o' colored chalk powder and liberated: and the recapture? showed that the refuse heap was real ly a breeding center, and that the flies might travel more than 1,400 yards. The common house fly was the species chiefly present. From many experi ments it was found that house flies may carry the ova of various worms; and that milk, syrup and other liquids may be infected with bacteria by both house flies and blow flies. House flies may carry infection ten days or more. Blow files, as much as three or four weeks. EXCUSE ME! Drawn By M.MYER studies of electric shock • : made, Drs.

In a communication to the French Academy of Scicnces, M. Birk- land has pointed out that these varia tions agree closely with the periods of regular magnetic waves of polar re gions, and this would seem to indicate that the zodiacal light is an electrical phenomenon. A number of expe,ri- ments suggest that it may be part of a ring of luminous matter surrounding the sun in the plane of its magnetic equator. Spiders are In high favor among Roumanian peasants as the deadly foes of mosquitoes, and bushes de signed especially for these destroyers have been planted along the Danube. Both mosquitoes and spiders are very abundant. Trees covered with a thick veil of webs are common in places near the river, and the influence of the spiders has been put to a practical test by cutting down a considerable num ber of these trees. The immediate ef fect was an enormous increase In the mosquitoes.

Beverly, Mass., Sept. 9.—President Taft hoi>es to appear before the coun- |try as a teacher and as an expounder of moral questions in his speaking ' tour through the West which starts ’ next week. I Although it Is conceded tJiat the ! president will talk politics when a good I opportunity present.s itself, it became known today that he will also discuss a great number of questions which he considers affecting the welfare of the people'af large without regard to their political views. The president plans In this connec tion to rake the opportunity to express himself emphatically on the question of marriage and divorce. He has very strong convictions on the existing di vorce situation in the T’nited Staieo and believes that there is imperative need for remedy in that direction. The president will urge the adoption of uniform laws re.'rarding marriage and divorce by the separate states, so that it will be impossible for a man forbidden to marry in one stare to avoid the decree by stepping across the border lino into another state. The states should resj)ect the decrees is sued by the courts of any one state, In his opinion. The president belieA'es thlg remedy can bo effectually applied as the states have already succeeded in agreeing upon uniform laws affect ing certain classes ot business trans actions. Among other questions not within the purlieu of politics i nthe strictest sense of the word on which the presi dent plans to address the country, are the consiervation of the soil the par cels post and how to get it, the Mon roe doctrine and relations with C entra! and South America, the Panama can al, and the rates to be established for ships using the canal, the foriificatloa of the canal, economy In the govern ment service and other topics ot a sim ilar nature. BESIDE THE SEA. By the blue sea I sit and dream! The noon is high, the wind’s asleep, A Sabbath calm broods o’er the deep; White ships, like lilies, lie at rest Upon the water’s quiet breeat. And mild the heavens that bend above A canopy of tender love. In reverence hushed all things doth seem. So by the sea I sit and dream. By the blue sea $ rest content! The yesterdays with longing fraught, All sorrows that the years have brought, I give them to the ebbing tide To scatter, scatter far and wide; E’en memories that some time bless Of service sweet, or happiness Found In dim w’oods, by lake or stream Seem drifting from me as I dream. By the blue sea I live anew! Unto my soul a glad new morn Is silently but surely born; For peace and tardy hope have come WMthln my heart to make their home; The larger life, with portals wide, Comes toward me on the flowing tide, And entering it, at one I seem With God. as by the sea I dream, —Lucia W.
