Mammals o f California
There are 2,000,000,000 mammals in
California. Half of these are burrow
ing rodents, such as ground squirrels,
kangaroo rats and gophers, which give
farmers much trouble.
Dr. Joseph
Grinnell ef the University of Califor
nia, however, has a good word to say
for gophers and such. Fossils show
that they have been In existence at
least-200,000 years and he has figured
out on one tract of land that In that
time gophers have given the soil" tlu
equivalent to 3,400 plowlngs to a depth
of six Inches. It is all right to keep
them off artifically cultivated land
but In other areas, the plowing, and
fertilization furnished by them is in
valuable.
W h y Bread Becomes Stale
Dr. Katz, a Dutch inventor, has
been trying to discover what makes
bread grow stale. He has found, it Is
reported, that low temperature Is the
chief cause. Bread kept at 140 de
grees Fahrenheit was quite fresh at
the end of 48 hours, but when the tem
perature was reduced to 122 degrees
the bread began to grow stale and
continued to increase In staleness down
to about three dègrees below the freez
ing point. Beyond that staleness grew
less until at the temperature of liquid
air . the bread had again become per
fectly fresh. It Is - suggested that
bread can be kept fresh by placing
it In a tireless cooker Immediately af
ter It Is removed from the oven.

Bug That Stabs Potato Bug
Against the devastating potato bug,
the United States Department of Agri
culture is marshaling an army of .ene
my soldier bugs, popularly known as
“stink bugs.”
Every time a potato parasite clashes
with one of these deadly antagonists
potato plants are just one bug safer.
For the soldier bug usually wins. Ad
vancing to the attack, he jabs a spear
like beak Into a soft spot in his prey’s
armor. Barbs at the tips of the jaws
keep the spear inserted. The doomed
potato bug at first feigns death, then
begins a frantic scrambling over obsta
cles to shake off Its assailant. Ex
haustion "finally leaves the potato bug
at the mercy of the soldier bug’s ap
petite, which sates Itself on the blood
and juices of the victim.—Popular
