The Use of the Toes.

According to an eminent medical
authority, it has recently been assert
ed that the human being has little or
no independent use Of the toes. The
medical scientist who is said to be re-
sponsible for: such remarkable
statement is taken quite sharply to
task for his assertions, and the sub
ject has been up. for discussion in for
eign medical journals. Possibly Eng
fish toes are less useful than Ameri-
can, for certain it is that there are
many persons in our communities
who are quite handy, so to speak,
with these members. One woman
frequently picks up articles with her
toes, finding this preferable to stoop-
ing, and she does it with the utmost
ease.
A girl can almost sustain her own
weight by clinging to rope with
her toes. Another can spread her
toes apart and give sharp pinches
when she closes them. A small boy,
who could not climb out upon the
limb of a cherry tree to reach the
coveted fruit, as the limb would not
bear his weight, extended himself
upon one above it, and letting his
feet hang over pulled the small
branches with his toes and trans
ferred them to his hands almost as
readily as he might have passed
them from one hand to the other
AS to the part the toes play in walk
ing, it seem to go without saying
that persons who have not injured
the feet by the use of i'll fitting Or toe
small shoes are largely dependent
for elegance of carriage upon the
elasticity and muscular strength OIL

How Beetles Defend Themselves.

Beetles have other defenses than
their c11irass, such as nauseous or
caustic liquids. which they expel on
provocation, and, strange to say, Mr..
Cuenot has found that certain beetles
actually exude their blood, charged
with noxious products, So far he
finds the practice confined to the
chrysomelidae, some Of the timarch@
and adamonia, the coccinelidR and
the meloid@. The blood of the coc~
cinelid@ has a. strong disagreeable
odor like that of the whole insect.
That Of the timarch@ is odorless, but
has an astringent favor, and in the
case of the Timarchae primeliodes is
venomous, The blood of the meloida
contains much cantharidine. -Lop-
