DOES 1T HURT BUGS TO STICK Pins IN
Them ?-The American Entomol0glSt, speak
Ing OF sticking pins through living insects
and the inhumanity Of it, makes the following
statement, which is as the saying is, strange
if true, but In fact is, perhaps, more strange
than true. The Entomologist says: In
reality, however, it is the confinement, and not
the wound made by the pin, that the insect OBJ
jects to. You may take any night-hying moth
and silly traasfx it with pin to the object on
which it is sitting in the daytime. 1t will
neither hutter nor struggle. Now watch 1t as
evening approaches. 1t begins to struggle
most violently, and most persons would believe
It TO be in extreme agony. The truth OF the
matter, however, is that it now wants to be
flying abroad, and is Auttering to get free from
the pin. If it is the pin that Is hurting 1T,
Why did it not futter by daylight when the
pin Was stuck into its body? The British en-
tOmoogist, Stephens, tells story OF dragon
hy that he once caught, which, upon his dl
recting its tail to it's mouth by way of expert
ment, actually bit off and ate four joints OF Its
abdomen, and then, having accidentally escap-
ed from him, flew away as brlSkly as ever. =
Ihls may be true enough as fact, but how
did Mr.. Stephens know what agony the tail,
Il notethe head, of the dragon.hy suffered
Perhaps, however, the pleasure that the head
experienced in the tail, just balanced the pam
that the tail felt 10 being eaten, which is fully
ln accordance with Mr.. Babbage's theory OF
the divine average" of pleasure and pain in
The universe, which is so ably held IN
The "Blidgewater Treatises. The pain that
The chicken feels In having its neck twisted Is
not so great as the pleasure that man has II
eating the chicken.
