Kill Garden luNeda
Clemson College, March' 12.?A?
this season when the garden is baling
spaded and raked by hand,
! many destructive insects can be kiH!
ed, and Prof. Franklin Sherman,
I Kntomoligist, reminds us that it is
j well to do this. Cut-worms, white
grubs, and wire worms are often unearthed
in preparing the spring
garden, and they may be disposed of,
he suggests, in any convenient way,
as by having chickens in the garden
during the preparation of the soil to
devour the insects, or by gathering
the insects into a receptacle and
throwing them to the chickens later,
or by killing each destructive worm,
by hand, or under foot, when it is
seen.
"Such painstaking methods cannot
be followed in large fields,"
Mr. Sherman explains, "but u distinctive
thing about a true garden J
is the high culture and intensive
careful n\ethods that are used in it,
so as to insure a high yield of
I specialized crops. We have known
good gardeners who made a practice
! of having a worm-can at hand whenever
they were spading in the garden,
?and they weren't always fishermen,
either,?the worms were used as
chicken feed. Of course if the gardener
can find a good opportunity to
use them as fish bait, why, that is j
j his affair.'*
When Christopher C. Hampton, 69,
was told on Monday how he had shot
his wife to death the day before, he
declared that he knew nothing about,
the killing. "I would not have done
it for the world if I had known," he
said.
New Jersey police are looking for
"Doctor'' Louis Clement , lately of
New York, to question him in regard
to the recent murder of Miss Margaret
Brown, 40, New York governess,
who was burned to death, supposedly
by having gasoline poured on
her near a New Jersey filling station
about two weeks ago. Clement if
known to police in many places as
a fake stock salesman.

Cummlng* of the I'nlverHlty ??f Arizona
recently undertook the excuvulion
of (his mound at the request of
I ?r Manuel (iiinilo and with the assist
anoe of the Mexican government. The
original pyramid was a truncated cone
11J feet In diameter and .12 feet In
height, surmounted hy a Untieing platfortn
and an altar In the shape of a
horseshoe. It was hullt at a period
when men knew only how to heap one
j stone upon another. The Inclination
, of the pile at un ??iigh? of 4.1 degrees
and the weight of the blocks of andeslte
and basalt huve preserved the
monument amazingly.
When the digging began the mound
lay burled beneath fifteen to' seven
t-en feet of sand, clay and rock, under
vhlch again was a deep luyer of luva.
covering the platform at the summit
to a depth of eighteen feet. The eruption
of the volcano AJusco In some forgotten
era served not only to preserve
this ancient monument but to date It.
The I'adragal, a flow of lava some fifteen
miles long and three miles wide,
which occurred In this neighborhood
and which Is declared by geologists to
be 7,0(X) years old. Is not to be found on
OulcuUco, but rather lava from an unquestionably
earlier flow. Doctor Climnilngs
believes that the mound was
reared hy Americans who lived at
least 8,000 years ago. On reaching the
summit of this mountuln, made hy the
labor of primitive man, one finds the
ancient altar of rougly, unchlseled
stones, calling up h vision of a circle
of nuked, hairy savages squatting,
with their bodies swaying to the
rhythm of their tuneless hymns of worship.?Martha

Gold Rush in Graveyard
A small locality In the Burgenland
district of Austriu, near the Hungarian
frontier, had a gold rush all Its
own u short tlnte ago. Through an
accident an ancient graveyurd dating
from the time of the migration of the
races was discovered. The Oldenburg
museum began to excavate. Ancient
gold vessels were found. When the
farmers of the community heard of
this they rushed to the scene and began
to dig for gold, instead of for last
year's cabbage. In the scramble for
the likely places fights developed between
the farmers, until a large force
of gendarmes was calle^J to keep the
gold fever down. Anyway, outside of
a few more urns nothing much was
found.?Chicago News.
There Are Froga and Froga
A biological concern In New Orleans
owns a number of valuable frogs. Recently
the frogs were missing and
the police were Informed. Later two
men were caught with frogs In their
possession. They claimed to have
caught them In the marshes around
the city. The head of the biological
concern, however, "knew his onions";
he demonstrated to the court's satisfaction
that the deep notes of the
frogs varied considerably from those
of ordinary frogs caught In the
marshes. The men ^ere convicted

Imitate a Human Voice
By the use of an orfcan-plpe reed,
his fingers and a bellows operated by
foot an English Inventor has succeed
ed In Imitating the human voice to an
extent that Is uncanny. The reed
serves as the vocal organ 'hnd the
fingers as the tongue and Hps. He
recently produced the sentence, "Hei
Io, London; are you there?" as clearly
as if he were telephoning from New
York. It Is claimed that the expert
ment proves that the human voice is
largely a mechanical result of muscular
and nervous action.
