Three Take Terms in Jail as Result
of Charges Laid.
Blyth, Oct. 17.—Four men of
Blyth decided they would go to a
neighboring beer dispensary by ante -
mobile on Saturday and thereby
hangs a story of trouble. According•
to the circumstances as revealed, one
had a pernnit to purchase and a pur-
chase was made. On the return
trip, it is related, the automobile
caused a couple of casualties among
chickens and, not wishing to see such
desirable food go to waste, the fowl
was salvaged by the quartet and
brought ''home. Some time after ar-
rival as to the ownership of the birds
and in the argument one of the dis-
putants 'was struck over the head
with a chair.
Some neighbors, hearing the rum-
pus, telephoned Constable Ferguson,
who proceeded to the scene and
sought 'to bring quiet, incidentally
taking along the man whose head
had been hit by a chair to a doctor
for considerable of a wound had
resulted.
Then, on Monday„ Constable Fer-
guson telephoned Magistrate Charles
Reid, of Goderich, who said he
would visit the village on Tuesday,
so the local officer had the four men
arrested and lodged in the lock-up.
Magistrate Reid arrived yesterday
and with him were Crown Attorney
Holmes and A. Whitesides, high
county constable. The four men
were arraigned, all pleading guilty,
and two were fined $100 and costs,
with the option of 30 days, while
the other two were assessed 310.
and costs or 30 days. Only one
paid the fine and the three others
returned with Constable Whitesides
to serve their terns in the county
jail.

TWO ARCTiCS DIFFER
;otuniandor! Byrd Will Encounter
New Set of t'onditions at
South role.
Conditions in striking contrast to
:hose he found in the Arctic will be
tueountered by Commander Richard
7. 13yr4 when he leads his expedition
oto the Antarctic, says the National
leographie Society in dlsrussiug the
roagraphy of the two areas.
"Instead of the vast expansive sea
tnd relatively low land found in the
Arctic, there is in the Antarctic a
xih continent, larger than Australia
sr the United States," says the So,
;!ety. "In the valleys of the far
rot th of the world the summer sun
)dogs moss, grass and dowers. But
n contrast, the bleak plateaus and
nountains of the Antarctic harbor
,traetieally no living things because
nueh of their ar.'a is perpetually

"Birds frequent the edge of the
re barrier, where they can exist upon
:he creatures of the seas, but inland

s no vegetation. The beats, wolves,

meagre maps of the Antarctic con-

Gong those of Australia or Africa,
Phe great Ice barrier and pack ice
seep ships at a distance, sometimes
31 several hundred miles. Only in a
:ew isolated places has this barrier
oecn penetrated and the actual land
reached.
"This condition is in contrast to
:hat of Greenituid, where the ice cape
extends to the coast in only a few
places. It is known that practically
ell of Greenland is a high plateau;
out the topography of the Antarctic
:ontinent is practically unknown ex -
sept for small areas traversed by
explorers.
"The present map of the Antarctic
regions, therefore, is mostly blank,
with a few patches of known terri-
tory along the coast and one or two
narrow paths pentrating inland. The
best known region is the land di-
rectly south of New Zealand tra-
rersed by Shackleton, Scott and
Amundsen. The world is still hazy
In regard to the high mountain
ranges which exist near this most
Used highway to the South Pole; and
little is known of the land lying re-
latively near the pole and between it
and Africa, South America, the South
Pacific and the southern Indian
Ocean. Observations from the air
should make it possible to fill in
.ouch of this data.
"Among the important problems to
oe worked out by Commander Byrd
are those relating to the meteorology
of the southern continent and its ef-
fect on world weather, especially that
of the southern hemisphere. Obser-
vations have been taken on the
ground along the Shackleton, Scott
and Amundsen routes, but nothing is
known of conditions on the other side
of the ]dole or in the air above the
continent. It is believed that the
barometric and temperature changes
and the air currents originating over
this great land mass strikingly in-
fluence the weather to the north and
that the gathering of data over re-
gions now unknown will aid weather
ioreoasting.

graphic research and exploration

JAPAN'S HOTELS.
Ivo Organized Method of Attracting
Tourists,
Japan's hotels are too small and
there is no organized method of at-
tracting more tourists to this country.
These were the principal findings of
the party of twenty American hotel
men who recently completed a tour
of Japan at the invitation of the
Japanese Hotel Association.
"When we fuund good hotels of
eighty to ninety rooms scattered
throughout Japan," said 0. B. Her-
vey, representative of the 0, M. Lin -
nerd hotels in California, "we were
greatly surprised. And, with such
small patronage, we were puzzled as
to how they could be paying proposi-
tions. ' We wore told that they paid
because of their bars and restaurants.
Plainly the need of hotels in Japan
is a greater volume of room business.
Special summer tours in the hotel
dull season, at reduced Yates, should
be profitable not only to hotels but
to the shipping companies."
Above all, in the opinion of Mr.
Hervey, Japan's hotels should adver-
tise more in America to eradicate so
many misconceptions that the travel-
ling public has about Japan. Too
many tourists pass up Japan, he said,
because they do not know of any
hotel in the empire besides the Im-
perial hotel in Tokio.
Hungarian Village Without Water.
In the village, of Oserezegtomaj,
nearBalaton, Lake Balato n all attempt to dig
wells or discover water with the aid
of a "diviner" having failed, the two
thousand inhabitants are obliged to
continuo using wine as their sole bev-
erage, as they are unable to afford
the expenses of canalization to bring
the water a distance of several miles.
The horses, oxen, sheep and pigs
in Cserszegtomaj are watered from
cisterns in their ewners' courtyards,
which collect snow and ram water,
and are thickly planted round with
acacias to prevent evaporation, and
the water required for cooking pur-
poses is brought from a distance by
carts.
World's Biggest Tree.
A cypress tree in the Mexican vil-
lage of Tula is said to be the largest,
though not the tallest, tree discover•
ed by botanists.
It has a trunk 154 feet in circum-
ference and la supposed to be hun-
dreds of years old, possibly a thou-
sand or two.

LADYBIRDS ARE CUTE:

No beetle does tnore useful work
than the silent, aotivo Milo lady-
bird. Wherever the ;:comity abounds,
it is In tttteudanro, And its numbers
increase in proportion with the flies,
Tehen Kentish hop -gardens are un.
ttsutlily 1tillleted by the pest, the news
somehow travels to the ladybirds on
the Continent, who fly ib, English
einem l in dense swarms, to settle
where they are most wanted.
Among several ladybirds, the com-
monest is the seven -spotted, so named
from the spots—there are really
eight! --on the wing -covers. After
spending the summer feasting on
greenfly, it sleeps away the winter in
trees and walls,
It is a mighty hunter, ruthlessly
scenting out the greenfly. A remark-
able tact is that it relies on the green-
fly to tend its eggs. In the midst of
a swarm of greenfly the ladybird lays
about a dozen of her minute, yellow-
ish eggs, and then flies to another
colony to lay another batch in the
same way,
The greenflies seem honored by
this, and brood ou the eggs. In less
than a week small dark grubs hatch
out, known in the country as "nig-
gers," and at once begin greedily
feasting on their nurses. The green-
flies do not think of running away!
The "niggers" are protected by
their resemblance to the hue of the
twig on which they were batched.
They go on eating greenfly until not
one is left, and then move to fresh
hunting -grounds, camouflaged from
birds' eyes by a coating of the green-
fly skins.
This life goes on for about a
month. Presently each grub spins a
silken thread and anchors itself by
its tall under a leaf, so lightly that
it sways with the winds. It now en-
ters on the chrysalis stage of its life.
After about a fortnight the perfect
insect emerges, and begins to explore
the world, flying on sunny days in
search of a mate.
Why are ladybirds so conspicuous-
ly colored in scarlet and black, as if
to court attention There is no doubt
that their bright colors serve to warn
off birds which might attack them.
As a rule, showily -colored insects
possess some offensive character (like
the wasp) which makes them unpal-
atable.
Pick a ladybird off a rose -bush,
and you will find that from the log -
joints comes a drop of bitter, evil -
smelling liquid. The bird which pick- ,
ed one up would quickly drop it, and
would beware of the ladybird's colors
ever after.
The ladybird is especially popular
on American orange ranches infested
by a scale -insect, an importation from
Australia. The Department of Agri-
culture sent an expert to Australia to
work out the life history or the pest,
and he found that its natural toe was
the ladybird, which was shipped in
quantities to the California orch-
ards. It has kept down the pest ever
since.
THE EAR DETECTIVE'.
Instruments Determine a Person's
Exact Degree of Hetu'ing.
Testing the heating by holding a
watch to the ear may soon be a thing
of the past. Accurate instruments
are now used which, with psycholog-
ical aids, determine a person's exact
degree of hearing. False claims of
deafness can be discovered in com-
pensation cases.
A device makes It possible to
switch the sound to either ear, or
both. A loud tone in either ear
causes the eye nearer it to blink
slightly, though the patient may
claim that he hears nothing. A push
button enables the sound to be stop-
ped at any moment. If a patient
claims that he still hears it when it
has been cut off, it is evident he has
been deceiving himself.
When a false claim for deafness in
one ear is suspected, the tone is,
switched rapidly back and forth be-
tween the ears at varying intensity,
and the patient is asked to signal
each time he hears a sound. A truth-
ful signal can be made almost In-
stantaneously, but if the patient must
stop to decide each time in which ear
he hears the sound, he quickly be-
comes Confused and betrays himself.

World hissing Record.
Seven thousand kisses given to
the guests at a wedding is claimed to
be a world's record in kissing. This
feat was performed by a village bride

bride to kiss each .guest at her wed-

actly four hours to complete her
