Bemoreaic ican Bellefonte, Pa., December 8, 1916. MINING INTERESTS IN PERU Definite Efforts to Be Made to De- velop the Industry in the South American Republic. In the department of Junin, the Principal mining district of Peru, a chamber of commerce has been or- ganized, with headquarters in the city ' statutes of ! | I gas attacks are reported, a natural as- | of Cerro de Pasco. The the new organization have received the approval of the ministry of finance, on the recommendation of the cham- ber of commerce in Lima, and ar published in Kl Peruano. The pur- poses of the chamber, as stated in the statutes, are to promote the de- are velopment of mining, commerce, stock | raising, agriculture and other indus- #ries in the department of Junin. ‘The chamber of commerce will is- sue reports, including detailed statis- tics, to the government of Peru, on the mining, commercial and agricultu- ral activities in the department. It will disseminate needed information ‘on these subjects, on the commercial | laws of the country, and on modern improvements. To this end it will initiate and encourage the establish- ment of special schools. All the com- mercial centers in the department of Junin will be notified by the cham- ber of commerce in Cerro de Pasco of the latest quotations on mineral prod- acts, the movement of foreign ex- «change, and prices current in the prin- cipal markets. A library will be formed of publications on mining, com- anerce, stock raising and agriculture. The chamber will serve as an arbi- tration board, or a friendly adjuster of differences, in any question that may be submitted for its considera- tion, with the understanding that per- sons presenting disputes will agree to accept the decision of the chamber as final. FOUND DEER STUCK IN MUD Veteran Woodsman Declares Incident Was Something New in All His Long Experience. ‘Wild animals of the Adirondacks are exceedingly shy at most seasons of the year, and one may travel for days without getting a glimpse of them and then finally run upon a ‘bunch of several. This was the ex- perience, recently, of Hunt Dickson, who, with Lowell Brown, a guide, went to Regis pond, and later to Grasse pond, angling for trout. At “Grasse pond they saw seven deer in the water and one near shore, where ‘he had gone to feed on lily pads. The buck remained standing in the water, and as the anglers drew near they discovered that he was stuck fast in the mud. Mr. Brown hurried back to St. Regis pond, where he found a member of the state forest fire serv- dce and a helper, who returned with him, and together they constructed a bridge of young saplings and brush, with the aid of which they extricated the exhausted deer. Placing the deer, unharmed, on the bank, they left him, and later he recovered sufficiently to disappear in the woods. Mr. Brown is one of the older sct of woodsmen, and he says he never before knew of a deer’s getting into a place from which it couldn’t get out.—Breeder and Sportsman. Motor Went Away From There. A militiaman was being kissed and ’hugged by a wisp of a wife and two :small children one day before the sol- «diers left for the Mexican border, the ‘wife sobbing the while and the soldier «doing his best to comfort her. The Scene was performed in the open, and a4 woman in an automobile standing «lose by remarked to her companion : “That man shouldn’t be allowed to go to war. What right has he to de- sert that little woman and those two small children? It's a shame.” Whereupon the little woman let ®o her grip upon the neck and shoul- ders of the Guardsman, turned with blazing eyes to the woman in the mo- tor, and remarked: “What business is it of yours what my husband does? He's going to the front because I want him to, if you ‘must know. He's going because I made ‘him—that’s why.” ———————————— Diplomacy. Two little sisters, aged about four ‘end seven, chased and caught a beau- tiful butterfly, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. In doing so the older child broke off one of its feelers. That they might admire it without injuring it, they built a cobhouse and placed the insect in it. “Don’t knock the house over,” said ‘May, “and kill the pretty butterfly, or the bad man may get you.” But the little sister knocked the house over and killed the butterfly, » “I'm afraid the bad man will get you,” said May. ; “But he will get you, too,” said little sister, “for you broke off its curl.” “Hush, honey,” said May in a loud “whisper, “don’t say anything about it, and the bad man will never no- dice it.” Sweden's Ostrich Farm. The northernmost ostrich farm in the world is in a suburb of Stockholm. The birds were taken there last year. They spent the winter mostly in the open, in perfect health, and toward the end of May the females laid their «<ggs, just as if they had been in South Africa. It takes six weeks to hatch an ostrich egg. —- 4 DEADLY GASES IN WARFARE and Bromine Are Those Chiefly Employed, Though Many Chlorine The irritating gases and fumes most suitable for warfare, as enumerated by Guareschi in an address to the | Chemico-Technical society at Turin, embrace chlorine, hydrochloric acid gas, bromine, hydrobromic acid gas, | nitrogen dioxide, nitrosyl chloride, phosgen, hydroeyanic acid gas, cyano- gen chloride, cyanogen bromide, am- monia, hydrogen sulphide, sulphur di- oxide, phosphine and arsine. When sumption is that chlorine or bromine has been employed, because these gases are usually to be had in large quantities at low cost. ability and effectiveness are phosgen, nitrosyl! chloride, and other products of chemical industries. Besides being abundant and cheap, it is requisite that the gases be heavier than air, re- tain their offensive properties when largely diluted with air, be easily transported in liquid form, and be as little as possible absorbed by water i or neutralized by chemical solutions | used on face sponges. In defense, al- | kaline and weak acid solutions are | used for saturating the face masks, | soda-lime being probably the best neu- tralizer for the most poisonous gases— chlorine, bromine, nitregen dioxide, Liydrocyanic acid, sulphur dioxide, and phosgen. The heavy offensive gases do not all act by suffocating or chok- ing, but some—such as nitrochloro- form, benzyl chloride and bromide, and various organic substances—dis- able by causing a flow of tears. TO CHECK DEADLY DISEASE Physician Tells What to Do When a Case of Infantile Paralysis Is First Suspected. Infantile paralysis is less frequent among babies fed upon the mothers’ milk than among babies fed artificial mixtures. This is shown by statistics compiled by the Minnesota Public Health association. The reason for this, says Dr. I. J. Murphy, executive secretary of the association, is that breast-fed babies have a greater re- sistance to disease, being therefore less subject to infantile paralysis germs as well as to all other infec- tious diseases. While infantile paralysis may at tack adults, most cases are found among children from one to ten years old. Flies may carry the infectious material of this disease, as well as of many other diseases to which children are susceptible. If infantile paralysis, or any other severe illness, is suspected, Doctor Murphy says, the child should be given the benefit of the doubt, and a physi- cian should be called as soon as pos- sible. Proper treatment in the early stages may not only prevent a fatality, but it is absolutely necessary to pre- | vent permanent paralysis. If the physician is not sure of the! diagnosis, suspected cases should be handled “as prescribed by the state board of health regulations, which pro vide that all other children, visitors. pets, insects, etec., be excluded, and that the discharges from the nose, throat, and mouth be received in cloths and burned. All other discharges musi | be properly disinfected and the access ! of flies prevented. Striving to Please. Jimmy Beamish had enlisted in his “group” and was training near New- castie. His wife, on a visit to the “toon,” became very ill. Thinking her end was near, she said: “Jimmy, lad, where are ye gannen to bury me?” “Well, Bess,” he said. thowts ov Newcassel.” “No, binney,” she said, “Aa cuddent lie in Newecassel. You must tyck me back to Durham. Ta waddent like to be buried about here.” “Tut, tut, Bess,” exclaimed Jimmy, “Think ov the expense ov tyckin’ ye aall the way to Durham.” “Aa cannat help it, Jimmy: yell hae te tyck me thor, for Aa cannot lie quiet in Newcassel.” Jimmy thought for a moment in si- lence. “Weel, weel, Bess,” he said, at last, “Aa’ll tell ye w. .t Aa’ll de; Aa'll gie ye a trial in Newcassel, an’ if ye divvent lie quiet thor, Aa’ll tyck ye te Durham.”—London Answers. “Aa had Advertising Value. A metropolitan theatrical production which carried its own orchestra played at a small town. As the theater had an orchestra of its own they “doubled up.” One night there was an awful discord, and the man in charge of the production noticed that the local mu- sicians were playing half a tone low- er than the company’s orchestra. “What's the matter?” whispered the producer to the local orchestra lead- er. “You men are playing half a tone lower than the others.” “Sure, they are,” said the leader. “That’s the only way we can let the audience know that we've got two or- chestras.” Nelson Not to Blame. Once an old lady was being shown over Nelson's ship Victory. As the party approached the spot where Nel- son met his death, the attendant point- ed to the brass plate fixed in the deck and said: “That is where Nelson fell.” The old lady was impressed, but not in the right way. “No wonder!” she sald. “I nearly tripped over that thing myself.” Others Will Do Same Work. | | | i of supreme indifference to him. | mat and basket goods, NOT AFFECTED BY THE WAR Indian Makes His Own Dyes and Can Afford to Laugh While Other Manufacturers Worry.

Where the bird had made its home near a wheat field, the crop contained mostly germinated wheat; if near a cornfield, corn was found to be the principal food eaten. Two of the seven killed were found near beet fields, and in each instance the crops were found to contain beet pulp and insects. An examination of the beet fields showed that the crown had been eaten out of many of the beets, but it was also found that in- sects of different kinds had habitated the crowns, which gives the impres- sion that the birds may have been after the insects rather than after the vegetable matter. Maxson states that the complaints of the farmers are founded on facts, but whether the damage done overbalances the good the birds do in destroying the insects, the experimenter is as yet unable to decide. Should it finally be decided that the birds are a nuisance, an effort will be made to have an open season declared on pheasants, in which case they would soon be wiped out by the sports- man’s gun.
