"Third, the United States should purchase sites in foreign capitals and upon them erect permanent buildings adapted to consular and diplomatic needs. "I shall put the necessity of a consular and diplomatic school fourth in the list of needs. Entrance to it should come through appointment by senators or representatives, or Both.

It b can also sail for 1,000 miles before 1 the wind. These grasshoppers 6ome- C times go in such numbers that they e make a cloud 2,000 square miles in o extent. "Its great front lip hides a pair t of laws as effective as a haychopper, | o and It has an appetite as voracious as j that of a hippopotamus," writes Mr. t Falrchlld. "A young chick finds Itself li shut Inside the egg-shell and muBt s work Its way out alone, but the young P grasshoppers find themselves?the a whole nestful?shut In a hardened o case In the ground made by their c mother, and it takes a half dozen of t them working j^gether to dislodge the * lip which shuts them In. v "The carrying power of the song a i of the cricket Is extraordinary; there are species whose strident notes can be heard for a mile, although their lit- r tie bodies are scarcely more than an Inch In length. The males alone are C musical, and It Is reasonable to sup- ( pose, since the females have ears In their forelegs, that the males are sing- lng to their mates and not to man- r kind. As one listens to their friend- t ly song it is hard to appreciate what t fighters they are among themselves, s the larger ones even turning cannl- C bals when food Is Bcarce. r "Of all creatureB of our houses,the F cockroach Is the mo6t detested, E Housewives may be surprised to learn that a cockroach can live five yearB, * and that It takes a year to develop ' to maturity.

One of the most noteworthy of the alien insects, and one which has been most active In the slaughter, is a green beetle, a veritable tiger in the moth world!

In Germany preference Is given to the Hefner lamp, In England to the 1 pentane lamp, and In France to the Carcel lamp. Each of these serves In # Its own country both sb the primary J standard and as a working standard, but for the photometry of electric lamps generally In accurate photometrlc work standardized electric Incan- 1 descent lamps are used In all coun- I tries. In America a group of such * lamps kept at the bureau of standards 1 are considered as provisional primary r standards serving to maintain the unit 1 until a better primary standard shall * have been devised. It Is believed that the unit which has been agreed upon F can be so maintained with an accuracy considerably above that with I which It can be reproduced by refer- f ence to any of the so-called repro- ' ducible standards at present In use.

Lamps now made how small differences due to slight !epnrtt4res from mean dimension, iut these differences can be made negligible by more careful constructldn. Jreat difficulty Is experienced, hoover, In making accurate comparison f working standards against Hefner amps because of the very low lnensity (0.9 candle) and the red color f the flame. It Is believed to be possible to apply he principle of the present penta e amp In specially made, accurate ,y peclfled lamps with interchangeable arts, and thus to obtain a closer .greement between lamps. Then iy peratlng the lamps under definite ondltlons one should be able to obaln sufficient precision with either tie lefner or the pentane lamp to give'a aluable check on the electric Btand.rds now in use. 1 Ninety billion tons of water are carled hourly through the Florida straits of the gulf streai?, ireat River according to Redr >f the Ocean.

As a rule squabs are ready to dress at four weeks old. but some parents do not care for their birds as well as others and thpir squabs will therefore take a few days longer to mature.
