Noith American Datum In the highly technical work of the geodetic measurement ot the North American continent it is obvious that one basis or system should be used 1n 'order to obtain the highest results in 00000105' . and efficiency. The three countries involved, namely, Canada, the United States, and Mexico, con- forming to the calculations of Clarice, the English mathematician, as to size and shape of the earth, regard Meade's Ranch, in Kansas; as the initial point most fully approaching geodetic con- ditions. Measurements are made in the Dominion by the Geodetic Survey of Canada, Department of the Interior, linking up with those emanating from that point, and the term North Ameri- can Datum is used to designate this condition of harmony in the scheme of triangulation by which the continent is measured.

Plant Poisons ' Discovered To Be Deadly Insecticides London.—The ancient art o! xioi - dug fish poisons from certain plants 'ties been put to a new use in killing }insect pests that destroy crops, F. N. fliowes, British botanist, writes in a e�eecent bulletin of the Royal Botanical 'Gardens at Kew, Heretofore one of the main poisons for insects has been rsenic, which is administered in the orm of spray solution. Many pests, ittowever, have developed an immunity 11Lnd'are able to swallow considerable djtiantities of arsenic without any ap- reeiable harm, according to this utliority. Investigators found that fish pois- Ons made from plants were a highly :efficient substitute. Dilutions of as low as onepart in a million or more of pr flier have been found to be fatal to Insects on contact. Dorris, an Indian group of plants, has been found to be extremely useful. The bulletin proposes to spray plants with arsenic poison for a few seasons, and then to substitute the plant poison in order to offset the immune strains that may evolve and hill -them. Most of the fish poisons that have been found are of trepical origin, and one of the most promising is the South ,American cube. These, with, derris, belong to the g001e family, relatives of clover. These plants can be grown as fertll- izor crops in rubber groves, thus ob- taining two paying crops from the saine land and enriching' the soil at the same time. Another ancient plant used as a fish poisin is mullein, which grows in America as well as Europe. It is, a rank weed, and if it also proves to be efficient as an insecticide its cultiva- tion should be easy. WOMIENIMMIRSCIL When His Worship Mayor R.

It should be as large and lofty as, possible and the windows should open at the top. No article of unnecessary furniture should be per- mitted to remain in the room, and all that is in it should be of a kind that can be easily 'washed with soap and water. • Medicine glasses should be washed in soapy water andtIlorough:y rinsed after. each dose is administered. Many medicines alter their properties, and this alteration having been undergone by the small portion' which is always left in the glass may change the effi- cacy of the dose from the corked bot- tle and may even make it poisonous. Keeping Salt Dry In damp weather many housewives find difficulty in preventing salt from becoming damp and listoPta As soon as salt is received it should be removed from its packet,, then spread out thinly on a warm surface and allowed to remain there. until per- fectly dry. Pour into glass containers —glass jam jars suit the purpose ad- mirably—and cover securely. A metal container should never be used for storing salt. Only a small quantity should he kept in the salt:cellar, especially if it is open. Salt quickly absorbs any moisture that, may be in the. atmos- phere. A few grains of rice in the cellar will help to prevent the salt frons becoming lumpy. Menace in Gas Fumes Carbon Monoxide Danger: Every motorist should take the utmost pre- caution. against this most insidious gas, especially at this season of the year.

The gas is odorless and cannot be seen. It first overcomes its victims and thea kblls them, No chances should be taken with this, the worst enemy of the motorist.—;sued by the Legal Dept. of the Royal Automobile Club of Can- ada. G. B.

Ago Italy Puts in—a Claim to Have Invented Winter Garne— Which Florence Played 400 ,Years Ago The recent highlyspectacular foot- ball matches in South 'America, which developed into miniature 'wars," show once again that Soccer is the whole word's Baine, and not just Britain's. And now along comes Italy with the claim that the city of Florence gave ue the game originally, for they say that football was a favorite pastime there! four centuries ago. They called the game "Giuoco del Calcia," and state! that it was handed clown to them from! the Romans ,and was thus introduced to this country. Other people though, think that foot- ball was introduced into Italy by Eng- lish trained bands fighting la Europe. Nevertheless; the city of Florence played football 400 years ago, under the patronage of the Medici, rulers of Florence, and of three Popes who were themselves good players in their youth, A football match was always a most important part of any.publie festivity on great occasions: Much pomp and ceremonial attended the games. These special state occasion matches were usually played in the main city square with all the nobles and townsfolk pre- sent in gala attire, Even the players donned festive garments, silk and: satin doublets and hose, and a close skull cap—the forerunner of our crash helmet. The square pitch was divided into two equal parts, with goalposts at each end. The ball was a round leather one like ours to -day. Though the game was a species of Soccer, goals were scored by kicking the ball over the crossbar. as in Rugger, and not be- tween the poste beneath: They went in for mass games, too, for the teams numbered twenty-seven a side—fifteen forwards. nine half- backs, two full-backs. and a goalkeep- er. After each goal scored the teams changed Edea, but they did it with more spectacle and ceremony than we do. In these games the leading side changed over with flags flying. and the losers with flag lowered. Another rule which has a modern ri ig about it was that two penalties rot,nted es agues. Still more antueing Is the deserip' tion of the game by a writer of that I day, who called it "noble and courtly, I and not fit for the populace: Football figures la Italian history in the famous match during the suet of Florence, 400 years ago. when the young Hien of the city played a public game as a gesture of courage and de- fiance to the enemy. How the Alphabet Was Made ••Influence of mouth gesture on tete development of the Alphabet" was the subject of an address by Sir Richard Paget before the Anthropology Sec- tion, reports the Daily Telegraphs. "It was pointed out by Sir Richard that, just as speech appeared to have developed from pantomituie gesture, owing to an uncouseious sympathy between the movement of the human hands and body with those of the hu- man mouth and tongue. so the de- velopments of alphabets appeared to have been influenced by a corres- ponding sympathy of movement be- tween the human mouth and tongue and the human hand. "If the alphabets of different na- tions were examined it was found that in the letters standing for the sounds of P, B, 111, and W, and also those for the vowel sound U—in all of which sounds the two lips are more or less protruded and brought to- gether—the sytubols are commonly suggestive, either of a closed mouth, or of two lips closed or projected, or on the point of opening. Examples given from our own alphabet by Sir Richard were:— "A, which was orginally written lying on its side, suggests an open month facing right. "13 is the profile of two lips, point- ing towards the right. "E represents a mouth pointing to the tight, with the tongue at mid - height. as in pronouncing the sound of e lit nen. "I is an elevated tongue, as la the sound ot ea in eat. "L is another vertical tongue sign. "111 represents _ two lips in profile, pointing upwards. "0 is a front view of a rounded mouth. "T is a vertical tongue, touching the horizontal palate. "U and V are both pairs of protrud- ed lips, R is a Pair lips, but pointing down insteao£d of up.like "Every letter of our alphabet, ex- cept H and Q," said Sir Richard, "was closely related to the shape of mouth which produces it."—Public Opinion, Auto Has Become Necessity One would not call the automobile a luxury, but a common-sense, thor- oughly enjoyable necessity. Without it the modern fancily would be far less happy. It does inestimable good in teleasing the fancily and the wage earner from the confines of four walls, by taking then; away from the mono- tonous run of everyday living and by helping to keep the fancily united. Lots of men lay up something for a rainy day and then get discouraged because it doesn't rain, Vegetable Kingdom Out -Livs Animals Mighty Oak With 1000 Years of Life Dwarfs Elephant's Meagre 200 Years An old German maxim says: "A. wren lives three years, a dog three times the age of the wren, a horse three times the age of the dog, a man three tines the age; of the horse—or eighty-one years. The' donkey lives three times the age of man,. the white brant three times, the age Of the don- key, the, crow three times the age of the brant, the deer three times the age Da the crow, the oak -tree three times the age ,of the deer -according to which calculation the deer would live to be more than six thousand years old and the oak about twenty thousand, Says Dr. Robert Gruenwald, writing in the Illustrirte Zeitnug (Leipzig) Although these statements have but a limited foundation, still, ou the oilier hand, it will hardly be necwessary to look very far to establish the fact that animal life does not compare in length with vegetable life. Organisms more than four thousand years old, such as the baobabs, or of only one thousand years, as some oaks and ced- ars, hardly find a counterpart in ani- mal life. As a general rule, the active animals have shorter lives than the lazy ones that lead alife of ease. And all eat. mals whose vitality is spent in a con- stant struggle against the inclemency of the weather. against an infinite number of enemies—those which in constant fear and misery lead a fugi- tive's life filled with privations, eau not, much as they may have become hardened in this struggle, attain the old age that falls to the lot 05 animal sluggards, in their almost emotioule-s and effortless existence.

In 0011510st to this possible longevity in tate tettebrates, the life term of the inverteurates is much briefer. It is true that some eltellliehes reach the age of about twenty bears, and that parasites may live several years. While the drones live at most four to five mouths, the age of the queen-beee may reach five years. Still with the majority of insects lite comes very rapidly to an end, although in the naso of none as quickly as that of the day- fly and seine butterflies, It Is obvious that with such dieeimi- larity in length of life the beginning of old age also conies at different times, we are reminded. Hence: There appear in animate symptoms of old age, but not always a complete change of life, as with our domestic animals. Many animals became mor- ose and unsociable, withdraw sullenly front their own kind- and lead the eheerless life of a hermit. In old birds one may notice a change to somber coloring in the plumage. In reptiles, which are known to change their garb quite frequently during the year, this change grows more difficult with in- creasing age. "Will you take gas?"
