In both Europe and America there is an old belief that a severe storm —the so-called “equinoctial gale” —is due about the date of either equinox, that is, March 21 or Sept. 22. According to scientists there is no maximum of storm frequency either in this country or abroad close to the date of either equinox. Os course, in the long run, storms do occur about these dates, just as they occur at all other times in the year, but there is no reason why they should be especially fre quent at the equinoxes. Commenting on the moon’s in- fluence on the weather, the bureau says: “Modern science is unable to find any evidence that the moon affects the weather to an appreciable extent, and is unable to conceive of any reason why it should.” The belief in “dry” and “wet” moons, indicated by the position of the lunar crescent in the evening sky, and a host of other notions are denounced as merely idle superstitions. * * * Eliminating Jades in Receiving Sets Whim tuning in stations most people use the amplifiers from the start, turning the filaments down low while using the phones and turning them up while using the loud speaker. Therefore, the use of a separate jack for the detector and first stage amplifier is often unnecessary and a useless expense. Besides this, the use of two or more jacks adds to the compli cation of the construction and requires much more soldering than if only one jack were used. * * * Handy Orchard Ladder Pruning and fruit picking can be ac complished in a shorter time and with less damage to the trees with the sped ‘ally devised ladder shown in the illustra tion, than is possible with the use of an old-style ladder. Upon the upper end of a common ladder a forked ■ extension, made from a length -of 2 by 2-in. oak two lengths of tire iron, is hinged to swing up and down. It is controlled from be low by a lever and ratchet fastened to the side of the ladder, about 4 ft. front the lower end, a discarded cultivator lever being need for the purpose. The lever is connected to the extension by means of a %-in. steel rod, so that the movement of the lever causes a corre sponding movement of the extension. lire object of the extension is to hold the ladder at convenient distances from the trunk so that any part of the branches ert be reached. The extension, being inserted in a crotch, will dorm a safe support and prevent such damage to the *!ft «atoiet. / / tree and fruit as might result from far- | cmg an ordinary ladder betwem the Jlfil - ■ - TWf Pffwm&n iNittv tlulini*' 1 -- ■ - - ■a Ml■ - I H n|| ’lail 'jH ME V I •m season are JLVJL easily manipulated to form their own trimming.

SECRETS OF TWINS SOLVED BY SCIENCE May Be Two Persons or Doable Edition of the Same Individual. From earliest times twins have been objects of unusual interest and curiosi ty. for there is real humor in the situa tion presented by the existence of two editions of the same person. In human beings we recognise two distinct kinds of twins—duplicates and fraternals, writes H. H- Newman. Pit.l)., professor of zoology at the Uni versity of Chicago, in the October num ber of Popular Science Monthly. Fraternal twins are merely brothers and sisters who happen to be conceived and born simultaneously. There is no reason to expect them to be more alike than are other brothers and sisters, ex cept that they are of the same age and are likely to have nearly identical ex periences. Duplicates twlftw. on the contrary, are really two editions of the same indi vidual. They tiegia life as a single egg, and are as lusely related genetically as are the right left- halves of one’s own body. No woncleg, then, that it is some times necessary to resort to ribbons of different colors in order to tell . them apart. A strange thing about twinrf' is' that quite .commonly they are reverse or mir ror image duplicates of each other, and not exact duplicates. By this is meant that the right side of one twin is more often like the left side of the other twin than like his own left side. It not un commonly happens' that one twin is right-handed and 1 the other left-handed. In not a few cases it has been observed that the whirl of hair at the crown goes clock wise in one twin and counter clockwise in the other. This is one of the surest evidem-cs that the two were once right and left sMew'*of a single indi vidual- Sometimes it ■ happens that twins, taken at first glance to be duplicates, prove to be much less nlike than One would expect. Are these to be classed as fratrnal twins because they do not ful fill our expectations as to resemblance? Let us examine a parallel ease. Look at your own face in the mirror and note that your two eyes are in some respects quite unlike. Your two hands, especially in the details of the fingerprints are very different. TTie shoe clerk tells you that one of your feet is about half a size larger than the other. The tnilor finite difficulty in fitting you because one shoulder is higher and broader than the other, look yourself over and see how different your two halves really are. Why should yob exfrect, then, that the twrt halves’ of a foriner individual that are now separate would be any more alike than two halves that have re mained together as part of a single in dividual? ’ • One on the Police Sergeant. Raleigh News and Observer. It is an old story they tell at the po lice station. Sergeant Bailey sat a the report desk in the eta t iou room in the late hours of the graveyard shift The phone rang and some man at the at another phone some where off at tha other end of the night spoke: “Is this Sergeant Bailey V be asked. “Yes.” “Will you do me a favor sergeant and look ont and sea if the electric light is burning at the corner of Davie and Fay etteville streetsT" “Wait a minute,” Mid the sergeant, iHe rose and made his way through the 'dark city court'room to the window.

J., Sept. 15.—A story' of a young wife’s alleged attftnpt to ' get rid of her new-born baby by burying ft- alive was unfolded to Ocean county detectives at this village. wf husband, a laborer, charged she had on “three or four” previous occasions succeeded in similar crimes. | The mother, Mrs. Eugene J. Saunders, ] thirty, who has an eight-year-old boy and girl of six, was taken to the Lakewood ', Hospital yesterday afternoon. Although no formal charge has yet been made, ] she is under arrest there. Next Thura- i day, before she is released from the hos pital, her case will be presented to the grand jury. '• Saunders told Detective Bnrge and < others of "the County prosecutor’s staff ] that he had watched his wife carefully i for several days because she’ expected a 1 baby and because her previous conduct ] in similar circumstances made him sus- i pfcipua. Kuriy yesterday, he said, she gave'] birth unattended jo a girl. Saunders declares he watched her take, the into a clump of woods and bury it under ] sand and leaves. He raked away the tiny mound and found the child still breathing. Leaving it. where it lay, he got his wife to their home, then returned in his automobile for the baby, j He took it and the mother to the ] of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ben- ] ■jiimin Saunders, here ami notified ihe i prosecutor’s office. An ambulance was 1 called 1 from lihkcwood, twenty-five miles ] av.aj, and both were taken to th? hos- i pita), the mother for medical attention 1 and observation. Physicians found tbs ] baby apparently none the worse for its i treatment. , J- 1 Saunders accused his wife of burying several of her babies, but explained that he had “never been able to catch her ] at it.” Detectives have not yet started , an investigation of these additional ac- I cusctions, The woman has offered no ] statement and her condition thus far { has precluded questioning. I Music Has Charms. Dearborn Weekly. There comes a story from Arkansas i that a dairyman has been able to ex- i tradt more milk from his cows by the ] simple device of serendaning them with ( jail music. Dances are held in the 1 barn and besides affording enjoyment for ] the dairyman’s guests it fills his milk i pails in the morning. That “mtisie has charms” jis a trite i saying that' has been proved from the time that Jubal became the father of ] those “that play on tha harp and the ] organ.” Music has been defined by i some as a “series of pleasant sounds,” 1 but the lead of what is really “pleas- ] ant” in the way of sounds widely dif fers among the popple- of various nations, and there is no reason to doubt that j taste in music as widely differs among I animals. The great thing seems do be to gauge their tastes in this respect. Horses will prick up their ears and prance where /a brans band plays,- but dogs will howl as if in mortal agony' at the same kind of music. It is there fore interesting to note thgt .ths cow loves jazx and generously responds. There whs Once poultry farmer in Ontario who discovered this same fond ness of animals for certain kinds of mu dt, 'After considerable research be found that his hens were particularly fond of bagpipe music, so having learned that instrument in bis youth he thought he would try its effects in the Chipken coop. The results were .beyond bis wild est expectations, and the egg basket was filled to overflowing every day. It was far better and cheaper than keeping: the lights burning all night as some of his neighbors had done with the notion pf , making the hens work overtime. ■ The psychological effect of music in various directions is well worthy of scientific research, if only to ascertain its value as an adjunct to farm produc tion.
