Queer Laws In Massaohusetts

There are some very queer laws or
the Massachusetts statute book, the
striking anomaly about which is that
they have been continually re-enacted,
but are very seldom, If ever, enforced.
BY those laws, for example, travelling
not only on Sunday but on Saturday
evening is forbidden, save in cases OF
necessity or charity. Any innkeeper is
liable to be fined who on Sunday enter
tsins or allows about his place any per-
sons other than travellers, strangers or
dodgers. 1t is forbidden on that day to
keep open any shop save for neces.
sity or charity. Dancing on Sunday is
punishable by fine, the amount being
fifty dollars for each offonse. 1t H.,
moreover, unlawful to be present 1t
any unlicensed entertainment "other
than sacred" on either Saturday or
Sunday evenings.

ting that eyeless animals are sensible t.
light. In box divided into conpart-
ments, and each furnished with two
openings, he distributed equally mum
Der of earth worms. One of the open
ings in each compartment he obscured
or concealed, and exposed the box to
the light, examining the worms from
time to time. and adding new ones
every four hours. By repeated obser.
vstions he found that they showed q
decided tendency to withdraw to the
darker parts OF the com partments, only
forty out of total OF $50 remaining in
the light. He also stud led the inf aenoe
OF different rays upon them, and found
them susceptible to the different colors
When the openings were covered with
blue and red glass they manifested q
marked preference for the red light.
