HOW INSECTS BREATHE.
First Catch Wasp hornet Before
You See With Naked Eye.

First Catch a Wasp or Hornet Before
You See With Naked Eye.
If we take any moderately large in
sect say a wasp or hornet. we can
see, even with the naked eye that a
series of small, spot-like marks run
along the side of the body. These
apparent spots, which a&e Is or 20 in
number, are in fact the aperatures
through which air is admitted into the
system, and are generally formed in
such a manner that no extraneous
matter can by any possibility find en-
trance. Sometimes they are furnished
with pair of horny caps, which can
be opened and closed at the will of
the insect; in other cases they are
denSely fringed with stiff, interlacing
bristles forming filter, which allows
air, and air alone. TO pass; but the
apparatus, of whatever character it
may be, is SO wonderfully perfect in
It's actions that it has been found i'm
possible to injure the body of a dead
insect with even so subtle medium
as spirits of wine, although the sub
ject was first immersed in the fluid
and then placed beneath the receiver
of an air pump. The aperatures in
question communicate with two large
breathing tubes, which extend through
the entire length of the body. From
these main tubes are given off innu-
merable branches, which run in all
directions and continually divide and
subdivide. until a wonderfully intri-
cate network is formed, pervading
every part of the structure and pene-
trating even to the auteunee.

WAKING HIM UP.

An Ill Advised Young Man Learned a
Needed Lesson.
There was a family of five persons
in the sitting-room of the Erie depot
the other day. and the husband and
father had gone to sleep and was snor-
4ng in a way to attract general atten-
ton. 1t seemed bit curious that the
wife and children sat there looking at
him and did not attempt to arose him,
but they even hitched away little and
whispered among themselves. Pres
emily young man with great deal
of collar and very little mustache
walked over to them and said:

A Strange Bird.

A strange bird, which has attracted
the attention of hundreds of people,
has been on exhibition On the farm of
John Rodabaugh, farmer living near
st. Mary's, Ohio. The bird resembles
an owl very much in form, has a head
shaped like heart the face of mon
key, a snowy white fur adjoining its
face while the feathers are of beau
tiful and delicate yellowish gray, with
caught a few weeks ago while the
family were returning home from
church, and not until it had received
load of shot did it allow itself to be
taken captive, and then its captor was
fearfullY lacerated in the fight that en-
sued. 1t utters a noise similar to that
of the squeal of pig. and IS fed
wholly on small birds, which it takes
into its beak alive throwing out the
bones and feathers afterward.
The singular and various senses OF
words in the English language are
seen in the following words and their
meanings: A sleeper is one who sleeps.
Therefore, while the sleeper sleeps in
the sleeper, the sleeper carries the
sleeper over the sleeper under the
sleeper until the sleeper which carries
the sleeper jumps the sleeper and
wakes the sleeper On the sleeper by
striking the sleeper on the sleeper,
and there is no longer any sleeper
sleeping in the sleeper on the sleeper.
