TURN FIREFLY TO ACCOUNT How the Natural Light of th Inatct It Utilized by Indians of the Antilles. In Cuba and other Island! of the Caribbean region there li i ipecies of firefly so brilliantly luminous Hint pre-Columbian Indiana ustil them for lantern lights. Imprisoning them for the purpose In perforated gourds. Cuban negroes still utlllte them In the same way, confining a few of the Insects In an ordinary glass lantern, which may be conveniently hung up In the hut or carried about on dark nights. The Indians of the Antilles, long ago, mode another use of the firefly lanterns, employing them for signal ing. One great advantage they hid was that their light could not be blown out by wind or put out by rain; and, with a tort of Morse code, the photo telegraphy whs an exceedingly efficient means of sending messages distribut ing warnings of danger far and wide. On occasions of nocturnal outdoor festivity In Cuba It is a commnn tiling tor ladles to adorn their gowns nlih these brilliant fireflies, which glow more brightly thnu any gems. The engs laid by the Insects are luminous, the firefly's light being thus handed down without extinguishment from generation to generation, each one passing the torch along, as It were, to the next. Httsburgh Dis patch. How to KIM Weeds. Any weed, no matter how big, may he killed by a method described by St. Leonard Hastlo In the Scientific American, as follows: Cut off the top growth down to the ground. Then scoop out the central stalk as much as possible and fill the little cavity with salt. If possible, do this In dry weather. When rain oc curs and the salt dissolves, quickly place a fresh amount on the root. At Hie end of three days (If Die salt has not been washed away) It will have penetrated to every part of the root and the weed will never give any more trouble. In the case of dandelions growing In clumps, the hollow should be made large enough to permit the salt to seep down Into the various roots. Salt will easily kill grass; bo partic ular pains should be taken not to spill when working upon the weeds. Our B Column argam Farm For Sale -98 Acres at Lew isville, 30 acres in cultivation.
