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. HOWICK COUNCIL MINUTES .

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 ,ianitet, .1 by snow and ice.

Explorers cannot sail along :he coast of this contient as they can 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. The National Geographic Society has given from its funds for geo- graphic research and exploration $25,000 toward this expedition, 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. STOPPED HIS STOMACH TROUBLE "Fruit -a -trues" Made Him Entirely Well MR.

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.
