One of the most pronounced nuis ances with which seasoned travelers on railroad trains have to contend Is the "open-window crank." This fellow—• for lie Is usually a male instead of a female—persists In having his window open, no matter whether other occu pants of the car dislike it or qot ; nnd It usually results in the other passen gers thereabout receiving u liberal sup ply of dust and fine cinders, us well as enough soft coal smoke to last them the remainder of their lives. These open-window ernnks ure almost always occasional travelers. It Is noticed by those who have taken the pains to ob serve that the regulnr traveler—that is, the man who rides every day In summer—never opens the window be side the seaf In which he is riding. It does not mean any more comfort for him to do so, as lie long ago discov ered, but much discomfort Instead. As soon as a railroad car starts to move there is more or less nir stirring nnd If She open-window cranks would only compose themselves a few mo Stefan'' they wouïd M u(erage occasional tra\< 1er will pusti, up his window as soon as he enters Ute j . . . . ït makes no difference to him how SS£"^to°^b eVnMdered rS H te a!" the only one to oc considered, it is a ■ practice that causes grent discomfort. - to passengers who have the necessary sense to know that everybody is better off If the wlndowo are closed on hot days. And It is nhvays noticed that these open-window artists invariably leave the window open when they de part. The first, last nnd only thought la for themselves—no one else counts.

Ti 3T USE OF GAS IN WAR In Crude Form That Weapon Wu Employed Centuries Before the Coming of Christ. The earliest use of deleterious puses In siege wurfare Is recorded In the his tory of the Peloponnesian wars from 431 404 B. C. During this struggle between the Athenians and Spartans and tlielr respective allies the cities of Palatea and Delium were besieged. Wood saturated with pitch and sul j phur was set on Are and burned under I the walls of these cities In order to ; generate choking und poisonous fumes, ! which would stupefy the defenders j nnd make the task of attacking forces Another form of the less difficult. same method of attack used about this date was to All a caldron with molten pitch, sulphur snd burning charcoal, and to blow the fumes with the aid of n primitive form of bellows and air blast over the defenders' lines. Greek-Are, nbout which much was heard in the wars of the middle ages, was a liquid, the composition of which is now unknown, that was spurted through the air, ehieAy In sen Aghts, ! In order to set Are to the ships of the enemy, and It was used by the Bvzan [ Rue Greeks at the sieges of Constan tinople In the years 1261 and 1412. ; INSECT POWDER GROWN HERE Americans Lost No Time In Devel oping Industry Once the Secret Was Discovered.

In the course of our conversation he said: "Many, persons come here professing admira tion for my lake or waterfowl.
