Just What a NOrther Is.

"What is a Texas northern" Ths
question was pat by Globe Democrat
man to Major B. M. Vanderhurst, of
Texas, who was airing his Apollo Belvi-
dere figure in the glad sunshine that
crept under the awning of the Lindell.
"a Texas norther, my inquiring friend,
is an extremely damp and disagreeable
wetness that crawls up out of the hole
where the north pole used to be and
swoops down upon the sometimes sunny
southland at Nancy Hanks gait, catch
ing you with your mosquito-bar under
clothes on and your overcoat in soak.
1t is more penetrating than ammonia,
and requires but ten seconds to work
its way to the most secret recesses
of a fat mans soul and cause him
to regard the orthodox he'll. of fire as
the one thing in all the world
most to be desired When a
norther has the victim in its grip he feels
that he has combination of buck ague
and congestive chiIls. 1t is the custom
in Texas not to make fire until some
body freezes to death. 1t would be
slam on the most delightful climate on
earth Few houses built prior to the war
had any provisions for heating The
custom was when a norther announced
itself to keep piling on coats until it got
discouraged and gave up the contest.
That custom is still generally followed.
Northern people regard this eccentricity
of the Texas climate with extreme dis
gust. They go down there expecting to
find ten months of summer and two
months of early fall weather; to revel in
the glad sunshine and to inhale the unc-
tuoIs perfume of magnolia buds all the
year. They get into their picnic clothes
and send their heavy weights to friends
back home to be given to the poor or
packed away in camphor. Just about
that time norther arrives and, for three
days, they long to go to Manitoba to get
| warm

Those Who Have Lived.

According to recent writer it is i'm
possible to give any close figures on the
number of persons who have lived on
this earth. 1t is generally considered
that one person in every thirteen dies
each year. At this rate the population
would be renewed every thirteen years.
Assuming that the population of the
world is 600, 900, 900, and that it has been
!, 100000, 900 at any time during the last
COCO years, we find that the population
has been renewed about 461 times; that
is, that 462, 000,000 900 have lived on
Ibis earth since the creation. This, Of
course, is vastly in excess of the real
number, for the world, so far as we car
tell, is more thickly populated now than
ever before. Probably If we were to cut
those figures in two we would still be
above the actual number, with Il total of
231 ,000 900, 600 persons. There are no
figures on which to base an estimate of
the population of the world in Christ's
time. The census taken when He was
brought up to Jerusalem has not come
down to us; If it had, it would have
been of great historical and sociological
value. - Goldthwaite's Geographical
Magazine.

A SnaiI's Formidable Mouth.

'Tt is a fortunate thing for man and
the rest of the animal kingdom. said the
naturalist, that no large wild animal
has a mouth constructed with the de-
vouring apparatus built on the plan of
the insignificant looking snail's mouth,
for that animal could outdevour anything
that lives. The snail,itself is such an un-
pleasant, not to say loathsome, creature
to handle that few amateur naturalists
care to bother with it, but by neglecting
the snail they miss studying one of the
most interesting objects that come under
their observation.
"Anyone who has noticed snail feed
ing on leaf must have wondered how
such a soft, fiabby, Shiny animal can
make such sharp and clean-cut incision
in the leaf, leaving an edge as smooth and
straight as if it had been cut with a
knife. That is due to the peculiar and
formidable mouth he has. The snail
eats with his tongue and the roof of his
mouth. The tongue is ribbon which
the snail keeps in coil in his mouth.
This tongue is in reality a hand-saw,
with the teeth on the surface instead of
on the edge. The teeth are so small
that as many as 30, 900 of them have been
found on one snaiPs tongue. They are
exceedingly sharp and only few of
them are used at a time. Not exactly
only few of them, but few of them
comparatively, for the snail will proba-
bly, have 1000 or 5000 of them in use
at once. He does this by means of his
coiled tongue. He can uncoil as much
of this as he chooses, and the uncoiled
part he brings into service. The roof of
his mouth is as hard as bone. He
grasps the leaf between his tongue and
that hard substance and, rasping away
with his tongue, saws through the
toughest leaf with ease, always leaving
the edge smooth and straight. ."-IEx

Recent "Ends of the World"

A dozen times in the present century
has the lend of the world" scare been
revived, and the interest still felt in the
subject may be conjectured from the ex-
citement caused few months ago by the
announcement that a telescope comet
was about to cross the orbit of the earth.
There are many persons now living who,
remember "when the stars felln in the
early 30s and the excitement caused by
that then unexplained phenomenon. At.
that time it was believed to be the be-
ginning of the end The southern ne
groes were greatly alarmed and believed
that the judgment day had really come,
while their fright was shared in no small
degree by the whites. VIM. Miller, found
er of the "Milerites," went SO far as to
fix the date for the end of the world in Oc-
tober, 1912, and when his prophecy was
not fulfilled, corrected his calculation,
making 1947, 1849 and 1857 the proper
dates. Many persons prepared for their
ascension on some one of these dates, and
having made ready, were disappointed at
the failure. But above all. the fact that
a popular expectation is still entertained
in spite of all previous failures, is proved
by the presence in this country OF large
and increasing denomination of Chris
tian people, whose fundamental article
of belief is that the end of the world is
near at hand and that their special bust
ness to be ready for that event. Globe

THE WHEAT AND TIE CHAFF.


There Is an old tale of the go den age days,
When the gods with men parleyed and
moved.
That a critic who dealt all blame and no
praise
Was once by Apollo reproved.
The god handed back to the critical fool
A handful of unwinnowed grains.
Said he: ''LeNe the wheat. as seems ever
your rule;
You may have all the chaff for your pains"
Now, this guide to our choice Is suggestive
to-day,
Though told of fabulous time,
To am and all who its teachings ODE
In every country or cline.
For the wheat and the chaff are mixed for US
still,
As they we're in those mythical grains
And if we choose now to see only the IL,
We shall have only that for our pains
Al pathways are checkersd. Gray shadows
and night
Alternate with the suns cheering rays.
Our ewes grow accustomed to darkness or
light
As we fix upon either our gaze.
And we can be c!ear-eyed, or we can be
bind,
AS each one his vision so trains
If he chooses the dark, need he wonder to
fiud
He can see nothing bright for his pains2
From the nolsome swamp see the marsh hly
lift
Its delicate, queenly bue head;
From water and slime and dank earth it will
sift
The nutriment best for its n ed.
Poisons lurk in these things. 1t could draw
evil thence
AS we'll as the good that it gains.
Shall it choose, then, those noxious elements
whence
Hurt and death will proceed for its pa ms
In our fellow men are the elements mixed;
Forever good mingles with sin.
On their errors, their faults, shall we keep
our gaze fixed,
Oerlooking divine sparks within?
| All! lesson in judging our frail broth rs,
then,
We may learn from these fabulous grains.
If we seek but the chsf, can we fairly grieve,
when
We receive only chaf for our pains?

now TREY MAKE Music.
Recording the Cries OF Insects by the
System of Musical Notation.

EVERYBODY is familiar with the music
of the katydid. Here again it is the
male that has the voice. At the base of
each wing cover is thin membraneous
plate. He elevates the wing covers and
rubs the two plates together. If you
could rub your shoulder blades together
you could initiate the operation very
nicely.
Certain grasshoppers make sound
when flying that is like a watchmans-
rattle -clacketty -clack-, very rapidly re-
peated. There are also some moths and
butterflies which have voices. The
''death's-head" moth makes a noise
when frightened that strikingly resem-
bles the crying of young baby. How
it is produced is not known, though.
volumes have been written on the sub
ject. The mourning cloak" butterfly
"a dark species with a light border on
its wings makes a cry of alarm by
rubbing its wings together
The katydids, crickets, grasshoppers
and other musical irseots are all exag-
gerated in the tropics, assuming giant
forms. Thus their cries are proportion
ately louder. There is an East India
cicada which makes a remarkably loud
noise. 1t is called by the natives "dun-
dub" which means drum. From this,
name comes that of the genus, which is
known as dundubia. This is one of the
few scientific terms derived from the
Sanscrit.
The "death watch" is popular name
applied to certain beetles which bore.
into the walls and floors of old houses.
They make ticking sound by standing
on their hind legs and knocking their.
heads against the wood quickly and
forcibly. 1t is sexual call. Many
superstitions have been entertained re-
specting the noise produced by these in
sects, which is sometimes imagined to
bea warning of death.
Entomologists have succeeded in re-
cording the cries of many insects by the
ordinary system of musical notation.
But this method does not show the act
ual pitch, which is usually several 90.
taves above the staff. 1t merely serves.
to express the musical intervals 1t is
known with reasonable certainty that
many insects have voices SO highly
pitched that they cannot be heard by the
human ear. Que evidence of this fact is.
that some people can distinguish cries
which are not audible to others. - Wash
