AMERICAN WOODMEN
ARRIVE IN ENGLAND
LONDON, July 5.—Ten unite of
American woodmen, sent over by New
England states and organizations to
turn various forests of the United
Kingdom into lumber, have arrived on
English soil.
The complete equipment of the un
its caused much surprise and occo
sioned much favorable comment. The
woodmen were fully equipped, even
to lubricating oils. Their arrival found
them ready to establish their saw
mills and begin work at once. The
only necessity for their maintenance
is raw food, which their own cooks
will prepare.
SHOD WITH SILENCE.
Big Bull Moose Can Traverse a Thick
Forest Without a Sound.
Although tallei than au ordinary
horse, weighing more than half a ton
and adorned witli wide spreading ant
lers. the bull moose stalks with ghost
ly silence through thickset forests,
where man can scarcely move without
being betrayed by tbe loud crackling of
dry twigs. In summer it loves low ly
ing, swampy forests interspersed with
shallow lakes and sluggish streams. In
such places it often wades up to its
neck in a lake to feed on succulent
water plants and when reaching to the
bottom becomes entirely submerged.
These visits to tbe water are some
times by day. but usually at night,
especially during tbe season when tbe
calves are young and tbe horns of tbe
bulls are but partly grown.
Late in the fall, with full grown
antlers, the bulls wander through tbe
forest looking for tbejr mates, at times
uttering farreacblng calls of defiance
to all rivals and occasionally clashing
tbeir boras against tbe saplings in exu
berance of masterful vigor. Other bulls
at times accept tbe challenge and
hasten to meet the rival for a battle
royal. At this season the call of tbe
cow moose quickly attracts tbe bulls.
Hunters take advantageof this and by
Imitating tbe call through a birch bark
trumpet bring tbe most aggressive
bulls to tbeir doom.—National Geo
graphic Magazine.
FLIES FLEE FROM BLUE.
Th* Germ Laden Peats Either Fear or
Hate That Color.
Tbe Arabs have long known tbat flies
fear or hate the color blue, and tbat is
why the houses in many of their towns
are calcimiued in a light blue tint. Be
fore the French Academy of Sciences
recently Messrs. Galniue and Houl
beert described the results of their ob
servations on the eyesight of tiles The
only light tbat these insects see really
well is white: their eyes do not see vio
let and indigo at all; the vibrations of
the blue and green rays are disagree
able to them, and red has tbe effect of
darkness. Yellow alone of all the col
ored rays is tolerated as well as white.
The solar spectrum as seen by the
eyes of a fly begins at green and ends
at bright orange. The practical con
clusion to be drawn from this is that
when a room has blue window panes
the flies therein become as Inactive as
if it were dark. If a slat of a blind be
opened to let in a ray of white light
tbe flies will rush toward It and go out
through the blind.
In Japan they bayg curtains made of
beads of blue glass mixed with tubes
of painted bamboo at tbe entrances to
butchers’ and pastry cooks’ shops.
These let tbe air in, and the flies go out
through the Interstices between the
beads, but do not re-enter.—New York
