holding out a battered hat. The following
placard was hung about his neck: Please
good people, help poor blind man who was
once rich, but who has been reduced from af.
fuence to poverty. You will never regret
it." Presently along came Il pleasant faced
man with a sharp, shrewd eye. He looked
at the poor old beggar curiously for a mo-
ment, and then suddenly drew back his arm
as though to strike him blow In the face
The movement was only feint, but it served
the purpose. The beggar jumped back about

winding his way in and out among the pass

Francois Huber, the Swiss naturalist. lost
his sight at an early age, became an eminent
entomologist, and wrote on bees, ants and
other insects His son, Pierre, and servant
named Rurnens aided him in making many
valuable original observations on the habits
of these creatures. Although the servant and
son rendered invaluable aid, it was admitted
by both that the elder Huber was the master

and papers on entomology, zoology and me-
teorology. Many believe that Huber would
have become as eminent in his special branches
as either Humboldt or Cuvier could he have
