When an animal dlea in a garden or In the woods and decomposition begins, carrion bugs come from far and near. A dead bird, a mouse or a harmless snake wantonly killed by some wanderer provides a banquet for hundreds of Insects. Among these the "grave diggers" are found, embracing 43 species, 12 of which are found In Europe, the rest In America. You can Identify these beetles, says Popular Science, by the two Jagged yellowish red or reddish transverse bands upon their black wing covers. Their scientific names (Necrophorus) means no more than "buriers of the dead." As undertakers, the insects have legs especially adupted for digging. A grave-digger beetle has a most extraordinary sense of smell, lie cun detect the peculiar odor of decomposition a long distance away and files to the de&d thing as strulght as uu arrow. Ills remarkably keen nose Is situated in his club like feelers. As a rule several gravo diggers are found near a dead body. They cruwl under It and scratch the supporting earth away, so thut the body Boon lies id a Dollow. Gradually the body la lowered until It sinks below the surface. Then It la covered with earth. The female lays her eggs around the interred form, thus insuring for the newly hatched larvae a. plentiful food supply. SEES DOOM OF GOLDEN LOCKS Statistician Predicts Extinction of Fair-Haired Women, as a Species, Within Next Two Centuries. It Is gravely announced that the bright glory of blond balr, locks of pale spun gold, such as the Lorelei combed with her golden comb, are doomed to dlsuppear entirely. A statistician has figured the whole mutter out, and he Issues a solemn warning that In two pitiful centuries the poets (who will still be poets nevertheless) must cease to sing of blessed daiuosels with hair like ripe corn, except, of course, retrospectively, or paying tribute knowingly to a triumph of the chemist's art. The reason for the diminution of the number ot talr women, the tlnul extinction cf the species, la given by the statistician with the solemnity properly belonging to his profession and province. Buys the New York Evening Post. It is that blonds have been observed to be less inclined to murrlage than their darker Bisters. They are thus condemning themselves to the fate which must little by little overtake them and rob the world of something the world would not willingly be bereft of. For the benefit of those who are admirers of white horses It may be added that red hair does not count as blond. It Is sul generis, und has staying qualities as notuble as that of the brunette type. , The Value of Bioaraphy.

FRIDAY, AUG. 3, 1917 WHERE TURTLES COME FROM Thousands of 8*a Tortoise Make Annual Pilgrimage to Ascension Island to Lay Their Eggs. The city fathers are not the only people who have the privilege of eating turtle soup, observes London Answers. The lords of the admiralty could. If they liked, make a monopoly of the real article, for they hold sway over H. M. S. Ascension?which Is not a ship at all, but an Island?where the turtles come from. Ascension Islnnd Is a very lonely spot. Its nearest neighbor Is St. Helena, 800 miles away. Ascension Is half the size of the Isle of Wight, and has a population of 120?or, rather, a "crew," for the people are almost entirely naviTl who live at the garrison station of Georgetown. The law of the Island Is the word of the commanding ofllcer. Ascension In nmlnly noted for the an nual visit of huge sea turtles. They come In thousands to lay their eggs In the warm sand. It Is prnbnhle they have come for tens of thousands of yenrs. Some of them weigh as much as 700 pounds I Every time they come the Inhabitants of Ascension take toll of them, storing them In fenced pens, and eventually kuTTng them for food, whilst a few of them are Invariably sent to the lords of the admiralty as a present from Ascension, a present which Is greatly appreciated. BASED ON ANCIENT CUSTOM 8uperatltlon Regarding Seeing the New Moon Through Qlasa Is Older Than Christianity. "Don't see the new moon through glass," thousands of people are Just now saying. The superstition Is based on a custom older than Christianity, nnd enduring In places, travelers may tell us, to this day, says the London Chronicle. The Jews had no real calendar, hut depended for the Inauguration of the feasts of trumpets, which began with the advent of the new moon, upon actual observance of the crescent. Jews watched, with reward In view, for the coming of the new moon, as our sailors watch for the appearance of a periscope. Immediately I they saw It they hied them to the high priest at Jerusalem. They were permitted to travel even on the Rabbath for the purpose. Now the testimony must be not only that of men of reputaiiou; ii inuHi be that or men who had seen the phenomenon with the naked eye. The appearance of the moon must not be noted as reflected In a stream, nor through clouds, nor through glass. That vitiated the value of testimony nnd precluded possibility of reward. Travelers from the East, possibly Crusaders, brought the story to the West, where It remains "unlucky" to see the new moon through glass. + I We know of a father who has been striving for five years in vain for mastery of the heir.?Exchange. h-hl" vou sav down goes tha Cola, drained to the pure, wholesome joy pleasure to the soles Be your own judge!

The burning cannot help destroying the crowns j of many of the plants and also much of the seed that might have been j dropped the previous year, as well as any plantlets just starting. 4 "The early growth of grass left H without any protection from the previous year's crops, together with ear- ^ ly grazing while the soil is damp, i provides ideal conditions for the weakening of many plants and the total elimination of the choicest, tenderest of them sooner or later under the burning system of pasture management. "Some work has been done in mowing to control weed growth.
