SR GREEN SHELLED FLEAS. ~ Tiny Parasites That Attack Nearly All Fresh Water Fish. Scarcely any species of fresh water fish is free from the attacks of the lit- tle disklike fish flea, its flattened, green- ish body being pressed close against the skin of the fish. The so called fish louse is neither flea nor louse, -but a member of a simple group of crustaceans, well known to naturalists for the parasitic habit of most of its members. It is far from having reached the ulti- mate degeneration of the chronic par- asite, however, and often forsakes its victim to enjoy the pleasures of the free. I have watched the fish fleas during these excursions into the open water, apparently engaged in their gambols— tiny greenish disks dashing hither and thither in direct course, diving sudden- 1y downward or upward or turning over and over in a series of rapid somer- saults, which have been reckoned to number some hundred a minute. Should a fish flea wish to rejoin a host it approaches until it is caught up in the swirl of water which accom- panies the movement of the fish, and, 80 soon as it touches, it lays quick hold upon the skin of its victim by a pair of peculiar sucker organs, placed on the ander surface near the mouth.—London Tit-Bits. VAST AREA OF TEXAS. Some of the Magnificent Distances In the Lone Star State. Those who live in the east and north have little or no conception of the mag- nificence of distances in Texas. Here are just a few figures that will help to llustrate the vastness of area of the Lone Star State. The distance from Houston to Kl Paso by the nearest rail route is 833 miles, which is only 114 miles less than the distance from New York to Chi- cago, 947 miles, It is 820 miles by rail from San Anto- SRS 165 ots. each, 6 for 80 ots.

Ephesus was one of the twelve Ionic cities of Asia Minor and was situated in Lydia, near the mouth of the river Caystrus. According to Strabo, it was founded by Androclus, son of Codrus. It ultimately came into possession of the Romans, and in the time of Au- gustus it was the greatest place of trade of ‘all the citles of Asia west of the Taurus. St Paul resided there three years, but the destruction of its great temple by the Goths in 260 A. D. gave it a blow from which it never re- covered. This was the famous temple of Diana. Near the western extremity of the town are still to be seen some massive structures, which have since 1868 been carefully excavated. It is now certain that these stand on the Tamous temple site. POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENT (Authorized and placed by Charles 8. Carter. Amount paid for series $20.00). Joss Sticks. .The composition of the candles called Joss sticks, which are used in all the religious ceremonies -of Buddhism, for 4 long time remained a mystery, the preparation of the sticks being intrust. ed to certain persons chosen from a limited clas3. A French chemist, how- ever, learned the manner of making Joss sticks in Indo-China. A stem of bamboo is rolled in a preparation con- taining fourteen different odoriferous drugs, two,of which are significant as showing a knowledge of chemical and physical properties. These are aco- nite, which serves to protect the sticks against the attacks of rats and mice, and camphor, which causes them to burn steadily without being periodical- ly extinguished. I am a candidate for Representa- tive from the 62nd district, and re- spectfully solicit your support at the election, Nov. 7, 1916. I might make numerous promises as to what I will do if elected, but quantity promises are made largely to gain .votes, and are soon forgotten after election. Therefore, the prom- ises I have to make are few in num- ber, but these few will be religiously kept, if I am elected. 1 do promise, if elected, that I shall perform the duties of Representative to the State Legislature purely in the interest of the people, irrespective of party consideration or political ex- pediency. - Iam opposed to the further issuing of ditch bonds in this district until the present judicial ditch law is amended so that ditches will be con- structed only where the quality of the soil, prospective settlement and gen- eral conditions warrant same. I believe the operation of the pres- ent judicial ditch law to be excessive- ly costly and that the homes and property of our citizens, which are pledged for the payment of the in- terest and principal of said bonds, have been jeopardized by the enor- mous issue of bonds, and the high rate of interest paid therefore. I will do all I can to secure legis- lation to relieve the county from any possible future payment of said ditch loans. My politics are Republican, but | under the law I am compelled to make the race as a Non-partisan. I prom- 1se also, that every citizen, regard- less of his political belief will re- ceive the same degree of courtesy and attention, and that special privil- eges will be extended to none. i . His Onie Regret. “There’s no use trying to deny it,” re- marked Mrs. DeFlatt, “this is the worst cook we've had yet. There positively isn’t a decent thing to eat on the table.” “That’s right,” rejoined DeFlatt, “But,” continued his wife, “there’s one thing in her favor. She can’t be beat when it comes to washing.” “Pity we can’t eat the washing,” sighed the hungry husband.—Chicago: News. q Would Help Some. “What—er—what sort of a part Has: she in your show?
