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.
