Merle F. Poper. aged t5 years, son
of Harry Popcr . (. . ari'os.-, Washing
ton county, Md . ctM-mitted suicide
last Sunday afternoon about 4 o'clock
by hanging himself in a wash-house
'adjoining his home. The youth went
i to the building, where after tying a
rope to the rung tof a ladder leading
: to a loft above the building, he made
" |it secure about his neck and c imbing
to the second floor jumped through the I
hatchway. The failure of the youth to'
J appear at supper caused the fath-'
r cr to be come alarmed. In searching.
, he found him hanging from the ladder |
t An open penknife was lying in a small
i pool of blood at the feet of the boy. \
and it is thought that he had made]
' an unsuccessful attempt to cut himself
down on regretting his action. Jus(
tice J. H. Bitner, acting coroner, and
, Deputy Sheriff Deeds were notified and
( made an investigation, following which
Justice Bitner issued a certiHmtp ?
death by suicide. Mr. Popcr was un1
able to assign any reason for the boy's
j act. The boy was, as a rule, very well
behaved and quiet. Besides his fath
, er, he is survived by five brothers
i It is said that the boy had been scolded
by his father for misbehavior.
A flock of chickens belonging to)
( William Siford, on West North Street,
i Charles Town, is being fooled into'
thinking night is day, and every daylong
before sun rise some of the more'
industrious members have begun their!
day's work of producing eggs for the'
American breakfast table. Electric'
. I %
lights are used to make the chicken*
decide it is time to start laying, the
lights being turned on about 4 o'clock
; ?provided the alarm clock awakens
the proprietor of the chioken yard
! at that time. By comparing his yield
with the output of other flocks of the
same strain as his, and where no artificial
light is used, Mr. Siford finds
that he gets about 20 per cent more
eggs. He is satisfied that his invest'
mcnt in light pays satisfactory returns.

The difference between a desert and
i a land deserted is well shown in Palcstine.
Where the new Jewish colonies
have settled and have begun to carry
| on farming by irrigation the results are
comparable to those in southern California.
Nearly every plant both of
the temperate and of the tropic zone
seems to flourish, and before many
years the whole land, now unfilled and
waste, w ill be dnvered with crops.
