AVAR ON
To fool the hen and to persuade the flower to bloom have
been some of the wonders wrought by electricity. An arti
ficial dawn wakes the hen,
the sunrise, and more food in
for the poultryman. Electrically lighted greenhouses are
used to force plants to a quicker, richer blooming than
natural light would give.
Now the insect world is to
tion of some of the pests that
dens. Many a clumsy moth
flame of lamp or candle, but never before has wholesale
killing been planned through such means. Such creatures
have been most readily attacked, not in the winged stage,
but in the cocoon or as larvae. Now to catch them on the
wing will be a triumph for science. A method has been
evolved.
Electric light traps will be placed in the orchards to lure
the female moth before she lays her eggs in the heart of the
apple blossoms. Success will depertd to some extent on the
time of day when she emerges from her cocoon and the
length of time that elapses between her birth and her egg-
laying, f If she does not corns out in the full light of day
and is attracted by the incandescent traps, her fate and that
of her innumerable progeny
Electrocution may halt the destructive march westward
of the Japanese beetle which has already crossed New Jersey
and is now wintering its front
A plan is proposed to place
this voracious insect, in large
it concentrates. .
Eventually man will perfect
quitoes nnd other harmful insects will be exterminated, and
then the lot of the fanner will be easier and life will lose some
of its little annoyances.
FILCHING RIDES
Every mode "of travel has its parasites. At sea it is the
stowaway, and his tactics have remained the same from the
era of sailing vessels down to the modem liner and the days
of restricted immigration. On land there has been more
variety. Thirty years ago the railroads were the main high
ways for the wanderer, who was content to view the country
from a freight car door. Once these travelers were numer
ous' enough to be a pest to train crews. Now they are not
heard of so frequently.
Have they taken to the automobile? With their instinct
for wandering, they may have seen that the great state and '
national systems of highways offer thent the best oppor
tunities. They depend on the good will of the autoist to
"get a lift," and on the fong stretches, away from the popu
lous districts, they are generally successful.
The spread of this habit of accepting or soliciting rides is
an imposition on the good nature of the auto owners. Their
real object, of course, is to save carfare. The whole thing
amounts to a petty hold-up and should be stopped. The hobo's
way of stealing a ride does not differ so much after all from
the more up-to-date method of begging a ride.

replied sharply.
"I I do not"
"Thiry darling, I can forgive your
falsehood to all except me."
"What!" ahe cried, pride and fear
in one gasp.
It did not take much of a pull to
get her into his arms, and in an
other moment he had her helpless,
lifting her from the ground, ber face
close under his.
"Thtry, don't you lore me a very

thrilling in his roice.
"No! . . . Ob, let me go!" ahe im
plored. ' "Be honest."
"I can't be . . . I'm such a liar."
"Thiry, I lore you so wonderfully.

"Reckon ('11 hold you this way a

She essayed to free herself, but
her strength fell far short of her
spirit.
"Then you'll bold mo until day

"Well, say a little short of day
light. Reckon I can get along with
that for a while." f '.
"Oh please please! . -i .v True
man, this (s outrageous!"
"It sure Is. 'Most as outrageous
as your deceirln' me."
"How have I deceived you?" she
demanded, vibrating to that.
"For one thine carlo' about me

"Care about you? I suppose I 1

"Then your prayers have been nn

said. In mockery.

"How?"
"Reckon first off I'll kiss you

"More than a little? Thiry. I

"Yes, more." And she twisted
to hide her faco, whito her left arm

went half round hla neck. "That's

"You are wrong to to master me

"Master nothin'? I am your slave.
But kiss me. Settle it forever!"
How slowly she lifted her pale

the sweet Are of her lips Rock
gained his heart's desire.
Then she lay In his arms, her
face hidden, while he gazed out into

commingled.
"Now, Trueman, explain what you
meant by my falsehood to all?"
she asked, presently.
'Are you quite prepared?" he re
turned, gravely. "Sure it's not easy
to rush from Joy to trouble,"
She sat up, startled, with hands
nervously releasing their hold. All
about her expressed doubts, mis
givings, but she bad no inkling of
what he bad to reveal.
"Thiry. you are keepin' Ash's and

placing a Arm hand over her mouth.
"Oet up off your knees."
But she only loaned forward,
clutching him. peering up into his
face.
"Trueman. how do you know?"
she gasped, convulsively.
