NOBODY CARESl

A YEARLY wan little face.
A feeble, forlorn little smile.
Poor faltering feet,
That must pace their beat
For many and many mile
A star stealing out in the dusk.
A lamp that luridly flares,
In the wide city's whirl
Just nameless girl
Nobody caresl
A desolate. dearth stricken room,
a pillow pushed up to the wall,
A flicker that shows
A face in repose,
Silence, and that is all,
Save just on the woebegone cheek
That look which such raptness wears
That light on the brow
All, who shall say now,
Nobody cares?''

low Some Insects Sing.

The Greeks shut the cicadas in cages
so as to be sung to by them in their sleep.
The Greeks were at odds concerning the
nature of the singing apparatus, and the
controversy among naturalists on the
subject lasted till very recently. The
~zoologist, H. Landois, who investigated
the difficult subject of animal sound.
with ceaseless industry and great skill,
was able to give a satisfactory solution
to the question. According to his re-
search, the case is one in which the sound
is really made by air circulating through
passages in the interior of the body.
Every insects body is penetrated by a
system of breathing tubes or trachee
which open at places on the surface. The
openings are called stigmata. This sys-
tenn of breathing tubes, through which
the air is inspired and expired, takes the
place of the lung of the higher animals.
Landois discovered them in very obscure
parts of the cicada, and found that they
form a kind of windpipe representing the
actual one factory of the animals
