The mountaineer looked sorrowful. "No way for me to get in. then?" he ill<|Uired. "I guess not. With those flat feet of yours you wouldn't be able to march even five miles."

RODENT CROP DESTROYERS Estimated that National Loss Totals $150,000,000. During the present year about $150,000,000 worth of the food we so urgently need will lie destroyed by native rodent animals (other than house mice and rats) which devour the crops. Chief among them are ground squirrels, prairie dogs, pocket gophers, rabbits, cotton rats, meadow mice and Held mice. Up to now their depredations have been regarded as inevitable and uncontrollable. But at last the problem has been definitely solved. Largescale experiments have proved that by co-operative effort on the part of farmers these four-footed pests can be eliminated?not merely for a time, but permanently?at a cost equal to a small fraction of the damage they ordinarily do In a single year. In this movement the Federal government has enlisted the help of township, county and state agricultural organizations. Farmers have eagerly Joined in it. Returns in augmented crop yields (due to the wiping out of the pests) have so far surpassed expectations as to engender widespread enthusiasm. The most extensive and thoroughly organized campaign against cropdestroying rodents (on a state-wide scale! has been i-eveloped, under Federal direction, in the great grain-producing areas of North Dakota. In that region the initial attack was aimed at the gopher, which burrows beneath the ground and cats the roots of growing plants. Poison was the weapon used, and more than 98 per cent of the gopher population In a territory covering millions of acres was destroyed by the first application. Public funds were supplied to buy poison in great quantities, and grain mixed with it was furnished, at wholesale cost, to farmers, who applied it (under expert instruction) to the gopher burrows. In the spring of last year more than 19,000 farmers in N'orth Dakota were enlisted in this movement, and as a result 7,600,000 acres were virtually freed from rodents of this species. This means a saving of $1,000,000 worth of food in the present yeai alone. The cost of eliminating the gophers was less than five cents an acre, including hire of labor. A small amount of follow-up work disposes ol the few survivors, ridding the land permanently of the affliction. Like methods have proved cquallj effective in Idaho, Oregon, Montana Nevada and California for the destruction not only of gophers, but ol other roilent pests. Prairie dogs, which lay waste the grain and vegetable crops, are giving way befor . systematized poisoning campaigns. Likewise Jack rabbits, which devastate the fields of wheat and other cereals in the far west. Civilization has started out in serious earnest to get rid of these destroyers of the country's food supply. They have got to go, and the means whereby they can be eliminated lies In Just three words?Intelligent co-operative effort.?Popular Science. What Is Gas Gangrene??So much has been written and printed about poisonous war gases that the new and horrible disease known as "gas gangrene" Is supposed by moat persons to he mused by exposure to gas clouds or emanations from gas shells. At the same time?reading about the gas gangrene bacilli that do such frightful work?they are puzzled to imagine how bacterial germs come to be associated with war gases. And no wonder. But the matter is easily explained; for war gases and gas gangrene have nothing whatever to do with one another. Both are destroyers of human life, and that is their sole relation. Gas gangrene, happily, is a disease virtually unknown in America. The germ that causes it (if existent in the New World) Is so rare as to do no mischief. But in France and Belgium it abounds, in the soil. The fighting men in those countries are i nnslantlv in contact with the soil. . . ? , l Their clothing an<l skins harbor the t bacilli. Hence, w hen they are wound- t eel, the germs are very likely to In- , feet the wound, and, as a result, a ,j virulent form of gangrene rapidly develops. I Suppose the ease of a leg thus In- t fede?l. The bacilli multiply at a tre- f mendous rate, and generate a gas. If a bullet or shell fragment has f made a puncture, gas escapes from :i the hole. It will take (ire from a mat< h. The limb, if amputated, may t contain se much gas that it will < float in water!

In effect it is made up of conventional signs. , Turn this page upside down, and I you cannot read it. It might almost as t well lie printed in Russian characters i or in Arabic. I Few subjects have enlisted on the i part of language students more specu- I lative throughht than the origin of the < alphabet. It Is today a matter much > in dispute. 1 There arc those who aver that on v pebbles almost its ancient as the early ' cave dwellers of southern Kurope have 1 been found inscribed characters representing the origin of some of our alphabetical letters of today. I Hut the theory most generally ac- j tented at the present time Is that the \ letters of our alphabet originated with I the ancient Kgyptians. They were, to .? begin with, "ideographs." Take "S" for example. In form it J represents a snake. The sound of the letter is the hissing of a snake. There you have it. What more could be demanded of a single letter in an alphabet".' It is a whole picture. "Q" is supposed to have been a knot in a string?the letter being originally j a piece of sinew. "(J" was a bow pulled taut. "C" was the hollowed hand, from which one drank?whence the sound of the letter. "l" wjis the crooked stick used in primitive times as a plow. "V was a pickax. "V" was an ox yoke. "X" was a crossroads. "T" was a tally?a primitive mode of counting. "Y" was the right hand upheld.? Popular Science. . GOOD IN OLD DAYS. Modern Life By No Means Has Monopoly Of Virtues.
