801 l weevils, it is said, are)
plentiful this year. The farmers '
are busy, though fighting the j
pest, and with the proper meth-'
ods a good crop of cotton will be '
the result. The weevil did not 1
show up so abundant in this
section last year . ।

Influenza Ancient Enemy
Influenza has been known almost as
long as man has been known. The
word Itself is derived from the ancient
astrologers, who believed it to be
caused by the “influence” of tha stars.
The disease has been unmistakably
traced back to 1580. It was then prev
alent In eastern Germany and was
known, curiously enough, as sleeping
sickness. It appeared again In the j
Eighteenth century, when epidemics of
it were frequent and prolonged In
most European countries. Among the
famous people of long ago who suf
sered from it were Sir Isaac Newton.
Goethe and Schiller. The great pili
losopher, Kant, was attacked hy It,
and he believed It was caused by
noxious insects brought to western
Europe as a result of trade with
Russia.
Tracing Use of Gas
Natural gas was used In a practical
win by Ilie Chinese shortly after the
opening of the Christian era for such
purposes as the evaporation of salt I
from brine. Il is said that certain
houses in Peking were heated —if not
lighted with the gas.
In Europe lite first use of gas for
commercial purposes dates back to the
experiments made by Murdock, who
lighted his home with it In 1792, and
to the work carried Io a more prac
tical conclusion by Winsor. In the
United States the first gas plant was
established in Baltimore in 1810. which
was followed by one In Boston in 1828
and one In New York In 1820.
Annular Eclipse
if the sun Is very near the moon’s
node when our satellite becomes new.
clearly the moon must then pass al
most exactly between earth and sun.
If at the same time she is In apogee,
her apparent size is a little less than
that of the sun. Then her conical
shadow does not quite reach the sur
face of rhe earth, and a ring of sun
light Is left, surrounding the dark
moon completely. This Is called an
uunuinr eclipse, because of the anuu
lur ot bright ring of sunlight still I
left shining.
