WORM MAKES SOIL TILLABLE
Earth Would Be Barren Without
Them, Says British Pro
fessor.
London.—The worm, persecuted,
abused and misunderstood, is worthy
of consideration, according to Pro
fessor J. Arthur Thomson of Aberdeen
university, who has just completed
a series of lectures on the evolution
of life. Professor Thomson says that
Hie worm Is one of our earliest ances
tors nnd was the first creature to
emerge from the sea with the coming
of dry land.
Realizing the great task that lay
before them, the worms at once be
gan the’custom of moving with one
end of the body forward. Plowing
beneath the surface of the earth, they
turn over the soil for a depth of three
Inches once every 15 years. Were it
not for this natural serrating of the
land, trees, plants nnd grains would
not grow, and the earth would he a
barren, sandy place unfitted to sustain
any form of life.
and cannot he seen until the earth
moves out of their plane. This phenom
enon occurred on November 7 and
will occur again on February 22 and
August 3 of this year, after which
there will be no opportunity of ob
serving It again for sixteen years.
Professor Pickering reports that he
observed the rings Just before nnd
after tho November transit und found
the Inner ring to he thicker than the
others, estimating It to be 2,000 miles
thick. He also reports that in the
outer edge of the second ring the
meteors seem to be more concentrated
than elsewhere.
Astronomers believe these rings to
be composed of innumerable small
meteors revolving In dense swarms
about the middle portions of the
planet.
Professor Pickering Is also engaged
In studying the “ennuis” on the planet
Mars nnd In searching for the still
undiscovered planet which Is believed
to revolve around the sun far outside
the orbit of Neptune, the outermost
planet yet discovered In the solar
system.

Father of Girl Saved From Trair
Advertises to Find Her
Rescuer.
Lynn, Mass.—Out of work for eight
months, Clarence Robert Hughes, a
World war veteran with a wife and
two children, received a check foi

whose daughter Hughes saved from
being crushed under a train.
“I had almost forgotten the inci

1he rescuer, who was so modest that
his identity was only learned through
advertising In the newspapers.
Hughes was talking to a friend on
the platform of the Lynn railroad sta

How can women who are weak and
sicklyexpect or hope to become mothers
of healthy children? Their first duty is
to themselves. They should overcome
the derangement or debility that is
dragging them down, and strengthen
the entire system, as did Mrs. Janssen,
by taking Lydia E. Pinkhatn’s Vege
