WHEN FLIES PLAY POSSUM
Explaining Why the Campaign for
Theii Extermination Should Be-
gin at Once.
It is not only in the summer that
the enemy of the fly should be busy,
according to a bulletin issued by the
committee on pollution and sewerage
of the Merchants’ Association of New
York, but in the winter as well.
“Kill the winter flies,” is the burden
of the committee's appeal, and it de-
clares that now is the time to begin
next summer's campaign, says the
New York Evening Post.
“Most of last season’s flies, having
completed their life cycle, are dead,”
the bulletin reads, “but those hatched
late have left their eggs in a favorable
place for incubation in the early
spring, and these eggs will survive the
winter unless disposed of. They will
hatch out during the winter in an even
temperature.
“These winter flies will become the
progenitors of next summer’s count-
less billions. At the first approach of
cold weather the flies seek warmth
and protection in houses and stables.
From cellar to garret they hide in
nooks and corners. Keep them out.
If any succeed in getting in, kill
them.
“Don’t trust the cold to kill them.
Don’t assume that they are dead when
you find them lying on floors or win-
dow sills in unused rooms. They are
‘playing possum’ and will revive when
the temperature rises.
“Clean up the house and give spe
cial attention to every out-of-the-way
place where flies may lurk. Make sure
there is nothing left which may harbor
their eggs. One fly that survives the
winter will become the parent of hun-
dreds of millions next summer.”
FRAUDS FOLLOW THE WAR
Little Doubt That This Conflict Will
Be Productive of the Usual
Crop of Fakes. .
The experience of a New York
jeweler who was taken in by a brace
of swindlers operating as war refugees
and a block of tin masquerading as
platinum is no doubt but the first of
a long line of dupes. The ruined busi:
ness man, the haughty aristocrat fall-
en on evil times, the impoverished
widow and the demonetized heiress
will become numerous as the birds of
prey wake up to their opportunities.
The impostors will have remnants of

persons conversing over telephones |
can see the persons to whom they are
talking, if an invention just reported
to the state department by Deputy
Consul General Carl R. Locp from Lon-
don, England, comes into popular fa-
vor. Mr. Loop reports such an inven-
tion for transmitting light by wire as
follows:
“Dr, Archibald M. Low, a London
consulting engineer, claims to have
discovered a method by which light
may be transmitted by wire. The in-
vention is thus described: The con-
trivance consists of a transmitter and
a receiver connected by wire. The
transmitter is a screen divided into a
large number of small squares—cells
of silenium, the electrical resistance
of which element varies according to
the light that touches it.
“Over the screen is passed a syn-
chronously running roller consisting of
a number of pieces, which are alter-
nately conductors and insulators. The
roller is driven by a motor of 3,000
revolutions per minute, and the result-
ing variations of light are transmitted
along an ordinary conducting wire.
The receiver is made up of a series
of cells operated by the passage of
polarized lMght through thin slats of
steel, and at the receiver the object be-
fore the transmitter is reproduced as
a flickering image.
“The process is referred to by the
inventor as a ‘kinematographic appli-
cation of common electrical principles.’
The system has been tested through a
resistance equivalent to a distance o1
four miles, but in the opinion of Doc-
tor Low there is no reason why it
should not be equally effective over
far greater distances.
“The cost of the apparatus is con-
siderable because the conductive sec-
tions of the roller are made of plati-
num and many wires are required for
the transmission of the images. The
invention is called the ‘televista.’”

Teaching Art to Children.
The Children’s Hour held under the
auspices of the department of fine
arts, Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh,
was inaugurated for the season of
1914-1915 a short time ago. J. Taylor,
illustrator, member of the faculty of
the Carnegie Institute of Technology,
gave a chalk talk on illustrations of
interest to children. He was assisted
by Norman Kennedy and J, W. Thomp-
son, both of Pittsburgh. Many inter-
esting subjects have been selected for
demonstration to the children during
the year. There will be exhibitions of
modeling, plaster casting, and vase
craft, as well as talks, illustrated by
lantern slides, on various periods of
painting and architecture. The per-
manent collections and special exhi-
bitions in the department of fine arts
will be utilized for the benefit of the
children.
Russian’s Great Work.
A. A. Balakshin, a Russian, is at
the head of the greatest farmers’
union in the world, a most remark-
able organization composed of the
Russian peasantry covering a vast
stretch of fertile land from the Ural
mountains to the confines of Mongolia.
The chief industry is butter making,
and almost the entire output has found
ready market England. M. Balakshin
assumed the task of organizing the
farmers some years ago, and has suc-
ceeded to an extent not dreamed of at
the beginning. He is regarded with
loving reverence by the 300,000 souls
to whose well being he has devoted
his life, and by whom he is affection-
ately spoken of as “the little grand.
father.”
Question.
Several of the leading directors of
tne New Haven railroad retired at
the moment when the investigation of
the line became most sweeping.
Commissioner Whitworth Riggs of
the bureau of civics said apropos of
these retirements in Pittsburgh:
“It's an occurrence, we are told,
that has no significance. These direc
tors are overworked. They want a
rest. Hence they retire.
“But I, for my part, studying this
episode, would ask:
“If appea es are deceitful, what
disa ances?”
