Jealousy is a discreditable emotion,

PERMANENT "NO MAN'S LAND"
Sites of Probably One Hundred Vil
lages in France Too Dangerous
to Use Again.
Fifteen villages In the Alsne dis
trict, destroyed by war, will never be
rebuilt. There are 17 towns In the
Marne district which will be aban
doned. and probably 100 In all of
France. For many years, at least, the
soil on which (he villages stood will
not even be tilled. It will become a
permanent No Man's land.
According to government advices,
thelites of these villages are too dau
gerons to be used again. In order to
avoid loss of life the government has
purchased the land on which jhe vil
lages stood and will keep possession
of Jt until It can be made ►afe.
These sites are the ones often fought
over, on which the ground has been
turned over and over again, burying
explosives of all kinds to unknown
depths. There is no trace of buildings
left In the IS villages, so the refugees
faced more than the usual hardships.
They returned, however, and lived In
the worst makeshift caves and dug
outs.
Only signs maintained by the, gov
ernment will mark the sites of the vil
lages, warning people of the lurking
dangers.—Stars and Stripes.
Chinese Silk Trade.
The Ainericnn demand for silk In
Cliinn hns greatly increased in the last
few years until at the present time
about 2." per cent of the Chinese silk
Is sent (o the United States. This Is
the result of American enterprise more
than that of the Chinese. The Japa
nese silks had been in favor for a long
time with the manufacturers of this
country, but It wus well understood
that the quality of the Chinese was
superior, but it was not adapted for
use lr this country because of the
niannei iu which It was woven. An
American manufacturer secured a
moving picture reel showing the Japa
nese methods of manufacture, and as
a result the Chinamen were Induced to
change theirs to a system to conform
with the demands of the occidental
customers, and the industry has ac
cotdlngly taken a great Jump.
Profitable Investment.
There was once a noble college man,
says Ilarvey's Weekly, who was noted
for the profusion with which he spent,
wasted am! lost money in everything
he did. and who kept up the practice
for some years In business, after
he left his Alma Mater. He disap
peared for a few years, nr.il when
found again he was working on a
farm. A friend asked how he was get
ting on. and he replied with enthusi
asm :
"Splendidly! Top wave of pros
perity !"
••But, man, yon don't mean that
you're making money on this farm?"
"Oh. 110! I never expect to make
any money, lint I'm losing it slower
than I ever did before!"
No Tippin-j Here.
When 1 first arrived In Venice I no
ticed large printed announcement* In
my hotel and iti the restaurants. "Vle

found tl * meant "tips forbidden." that

Daily Mall.
The s:ui!c rule applies more or less
In other Italian cities, but In none, so
far as I h ive seen, so completely and
actually as in Venice. The notices are
"absolutely" forbidden, others "rigor
ously" or "severely" forbidden, or
"prohibited." others explain more fully
that after August 1 tips are "abol
ished."

GERMS FUTURE WAR WEAPONS
Scientist Draws Dark Picture of Sav.
agery That Will Be Part of
Next Conflict
Mobilization of the mosquito, the
house-fly. the louse and various other
disease-carrying pests for the dissemi
nation of deadly germs In enemy terri
tory Is n possibility of "the next war"
pictured by Prof. Maxwell Lefroy, a
London scientist.
"I foresee the tnosqulto from Brazil
starting yqllow fever In new lnnds, tha
house-fly, duly Infested with cholera,
dysentery or enteric and the typhus
laden louse doing their deadly work
much more effectively than spies poi
soning wells," said Professor Lefroy
In a recent address.
"This would ue part of the work of
a war ollice of entoinolbgists—the
working out of strategic plans for the
distribution of these .pests by airplane.
It seems that the world Is intent upon
furnishing an airplane service for
these pests, many of which are now j
held somewhat In check by natural
enemies In their native climes. This
will give them Just the means of tran
sit they have required. It will be a
peace-time danger as well as one that
could be used very offensively In war.
The danger from these 'winged battal
ions of death' Is more serious than one
dure estimate." |
Airplane Has Its Limits.
Tln> ofiicinls of tlie United States de
partruent of agriculture have been In
receipt of ninny suggestions relative
to extinguishing forest fires with the
use of bus bombs dropped from air
planes that it 1ms been found neces
sary to issue a statement for the pur
pose of explaining that the scheme is
not feasible, l-'or the purpose of over
coming a.detachment of men, a mix
ture of one part of virulent poison to
1.000.000 of air would he entirely suf
ficient to accomplish the purpose, but
one of 7S0 parts to the thousand would
not be powerful enough to quench a
conflagration. Another thing to be
taken Into consideration is the diffi
culty of dropping the bombs with the
necessa*' precision. The art of strik
ing a target with any degree of ac
curacy has not been developed at this
time, and there Is no prospect that It
will be sufficiently perfected to the
point of becoming available for the
purpose of fighting fires.
To Destroy Grasshoppers.
Foisoneil bran bait Is a simple, re
liable and cheap method of destroy
ing grasshoppers. The formula Is:
Wheat bran, "J." pounds; Paris green,
one pound, or white arsenic, one
pound: lemons or oranges,- six finely
chopped fruits: low-graile molasses,
two <ri.'irts. The mixture Is scattered
over the fields. Beneficial results have
been obtained from the poison, but In
whatever process is followed, commun
ication must unite, for if one farm
Is rid of the insects, a new invasion
will come In from the adjoining farm.
An Interesting Incident of all poison
halts is that letnon Juice is added, thus
it seems that it is necessary to hand
the hopper a lemon in order to get rid
ot him.
