TIRING tkedebate in the
French Chamber of Deputies
en%as. visional appropriations
recently, George Leygues,
Minister of Marine, in reply to ques-
tions concerning the navy, said that
the French navy led an etichanted
life, aid was surprising the world
at large by its magnificent achieve-
ments.
The real sea peril was in 1916, said
tf. Leygues, :but the Alliednavies
had checked the submarine war. Sol-
diers and foodstuffs were now pour-'
ng into France. The Germans had
boasted that American armies would.
never approach the French shores
and bring victuals and reinforce-
ments to France. The Germans came
near fulfilling their dreata, but,
tivaiks to the immense efforts put
forward by the French navy, the Ger-
man plan had ended in failure,
Admiral. Bienaime, Deputy tor the
Seine, also gave praise to the French
and Allied navies. He said Gertnany s
submarine war was dead. Accidents
might still happen, he added, but
German piracy had been vanquished.
Leygues has also published a
4laterne-nt regarding the manner in
which the Allied navies have con-
quered the submarine peril. He men-
tioned the fact that Viscount Jellicoe
had foretold that the U-boat cam-
eaign would be conque.Ted by August,
1918. This prophecy has p,roved true.
Although ships are being sunk, the
Allied navies are now sinking Ger-
man submarines more quickly than
they can •be launched. When the
Germans cannot build II -boats as
quickly as 'they are destroyed, victory'
must rest with the British, Ameri-
cans and French in the contest
against frightfulness.

Flying Through Clouds.
When flying in a cloud which ob-
acurea the horizon, says "light,"
it is very difficult for a pilot to tell
whether or not his machine is on an
even keel.
-It is true that he will be able to
tell from his speed indicator whether
!ns is flying level or along a sloping
path, but if at the same time the
machine is making a turn this is dif-
ficult to feel, as it may be ;very slight.
The compass should, theoretically,
indicate a turn, but what frequently
happens is this: A ma.ch.ine enters a
cloud, and the pilot watches his com-
pose and speed indicator to see if -
he is keeping on his course! .He then
notices that the compass needle be-
gins to move, and rudders in the op-
posite direction to cheek the turn.
-As he can.see nothing except his
machine, the horizon being ivisible
through the clouds, he is very` apt to
overcorrect, with the result that the
machine begins to turn the other
way. The rudder is then put over in
thefopposite directien, and very like-
ly Overcorrection again occurs. In
this way athe, machine swerves from
side to side, each turn being accom-
panied by a bank. If this bank be-
comes steep the machine will prob-
ably get her nose down and the speed
indicator will register a high veloc-
ity. As the pilot may not: be aware
of the amount of basak, he ;will in-
stinctively pull his control lever to-
ward him in order to pull the ,ma -
thine out of the nose dive, _ If the
machine is steeply banked the eleva-
tors will not flatten out the machine,
since they are in a position somes
whera near the vertical and there-
fore act as rudders. The compass
continues to swing, and before long
the pilat may not have the slightest
idea of what is really happening to
his machine until he emerges from
the eland."

THE importance of insects in
the animal world is too
generality overlooked. More
knowledge along these lines
is certainly desirable in view of the
fact that of the millien and more
species in. the animal world the larg-
est place is held by the insects. Per-
haps their significance may be better
realized from the fact that the an-
nual. loss by insects in the United
States is $800.000,000, compared
with an annual fire loss of $143,-
000,090. As over against 7,000
deaths per year due to railroad acci-
dents, there are 97,200 deaths each
year in the republic to the south of
us due to mailaria and intestinal dis-
easesespread by insect carriers. And
while; 1.11 the whole Spanish war only
300 men were kdled by Spanish bul-
lets, 5,000 died of fly -borne ,diseases.

the object of fear and dislike by hu-
man beings, sowing no doubt to its
'fierce appearance and rapid, darting
,motions. Children have been .terri-
fied by the superstition that the
dragonfly, or "devil's 'darning nee-
dle," would pierce their ears, or sew
them shut. Yet the dragonfly is not
only harmless to man, but is one of
f nds in that he is the
deadly enemy of the Mosquito — that
pest that is one of the rdost numer-
ous, widely distributed and persist-
ent of the creatures that menace the
health and comfort of man. So much
is the dragonfly the mosquito's 'enemy
that be is called the "mosquito
hawk"—and anyone who has watch-
ed the swift movements and cruel
aspect of the dragonfly as he darts
at his prey will agree that the n.ame
is well givea. As both the mosquito
and dragonfly are semiaquatic, the
warfare between the two begins ear-
ly, the young of the dragonfly feeding
on the young mosquito, just as the
adult dragonfly preys on th.e full-
grown mosquito. As serious blood.
maladies are known to be transmit-
ted by the mosquito; the dragonfly's
srvice to man is no small one. At
one timee in fact. it was undertaken
to breed dragonfies artificially with
the purpose of exterminating the
mosquito; but the plan was found
impracticable and was abandoned.
- Another beneficial insect is the var-
iety of Australian beetle which was
used with brilliant success to etise the,
orange orchards of.the nation. The
so-called "Austrian lady -beetle" Was
pitted against the destructive scale
insect which threatened.ruin to the
orange industry.. The beetle exterm-
inated the 'scale. Parasitic wasps at-
tack caterpillars and sting them to
death, laying eggs in the dead- bod-
ies of their ;victims, so that their
yoeng, when hatched, may find abun-
dant and convenient nourishment.
The wheat midge, so destructive to
the grain, is preyed on by several in-

Importance of Attending Exhibition.
Pall exhibitions are a permanent
feature in the life of Ontario, and
are of particular interest and import
to the farmer and his family. True,
many of the smaller shows might be
greatly improved by the introduction
of more new educative features, 'and
some of the larger exhibitions have
been criticized in the past for tardi-
ness in placing agriculture in .it due
place, but at the present time, with
things agricultural to the fore -front
as they are, exhibition managements
realize the value of a strong agricul-
tural and live -stock depantment and
are making this a leading feature of
their work. In face, no fall fair,
large or small, could exist let alone
'prosper; without the products ph the
farm well represented,
Bearing this in mind, it is impor-
tant that all attend their local fall
fair and their nearest large exhibi-
tion. A well-managed fair is an edu-
cation, The .best live stock of the
various types and breeds, the highest
quality grain, root and vegetables,
the newest devices to aid the farmer
and his wife 'lit their' work, ahd the
most up-to-date special attractions
airs all*ere and each has its value
tb those who attlfria with the pur-
pose of improving their knowledge.
It is worth while to wateh the judg-
ing being done: to get an Idea, of
approved typetang to have one's in-
terest stimelatecli that he raay go
home and do better work in breed-
ing live stock or in the production of
__rat crops. Study the work of the
judges. It helps to fix in the mind
the proper type of live stock of the
various breeds and the requirements
of all farm crops. The boys and girls
should be taken to the eehibition and
encouraged to study and learn as
well as to enjoy themselves.
Exhibitions also have their place
in the social welfare of the people.
It is profitable t5 get away from work
for a -few days and mingle, with oth-
ers, there to discuss matters of in,
