Apropos of u statement in the new ?-

'file baboon's cry somewhat resem­

through a megaphone, and it is pos­
sible to talk to them by means of it.
A baboon is said to be able to count
up to two, and not beyond that; and
as the. come in large numbers and
curry < ill' the ripe mealies, steps have
to be taken to repel them. Ami so,
when the mealies get ripe, three men
walk into the Held with their gulls
and lie down.
Aller a time one of them gets up
and goes out and th»* baboon sentry
counts —one. Later on another goes
out, and as the sentry only counted
two men coming in, he concludes that
there is nobody left in the tiekl ami
accordingly gives the signal, where­
upon the whole troop swarms over the

As soon as they are near enough the

good shot their numbers are greatly

The weevil is u well-known curse to
the gruiu-growing farmer. He is a
member of a very large group, rejoic­
ing in the family name of curculion-
1 blue. There are some other members
which live to spoil nuts, some which
ravage apple orchards, while others
make war upon clover mid legumes
generally. One variety is threatening
the very existence of the cotton plan­
tations of the southern states, an­
other lives to make difficult—nt times

witli tin- growing grain, Australia has

ulated through tlie war years, during
which tin' length of the voyage made
it impossible to obtain transportation
to Europe, was found to deteriorate
through its ravages. But our fellow
citizens on the other side of the world
are notoriously hard to heat, and sei

these restless grubs. A leaf was
taken from the German book, and the
use of poison gas was resorted to
with apparently deadly effect.
The Hottest City.
Tin- city of Hyderabad, on the groat
Sind desert of India, lias tlie reputa­
tion of being the hottest place in the
world, having a shade temperature of
127 degree« during the summer
months! Even the natives find it hot
and that is saying something.
In order to cool their houses as much
as possible, the people make use of
curious ventilators very much like
those on shipboard, “setting” them so
as to convey a breeze to tlie dwellers
in the hot rooms below. Every resi­
dent!!'.! building has several of these
q liner airshafts leading down to tin*
principal living rooms, and especially
to the bedrooms. Even so, it is prac­
tically impossible, during the terrible
bent of summer, to get to sleep until
two or three o’clock In the morning,
und then one only gets a couple of
hours’ rest, as the rays of the Indian
sun are specially strong early in the
morning and soon raise the tempera­
ture aguin to an unbearable extent.
