Among tho ancients shaving the
head was very common mode OF ex-
pressing great grief or sorrow. Some
times it was done by the priest or some
other religious functionary formally
cutting off the hair, sometimes by vio-
lently plucking it out by the roots.
In extreme cases among men the beard
as well as the hair was either cut of
or plucked OUT. The idea seems to
have been that mourners should divest
themselves of that which under ordi-
nary circumstances was considered
most beautiful, ornamental and be-
coming. Lucian land he is not the
only one of the ancient writers by any
means who gives points on this queer
mourning custom) says that the Egyp-
tians expressed their intense sorrow by
cutting off the hair upon the death o,
their Apis and that the Syrians acted
in the same manner at the death o.
Adonis. Olympiodorus remarks con
corning Job l., 20, that the ancients
among whom long hair was regarded
as an ornament, cut it off in times o
mourning, but that those who com
monty wore it short suffered 1t upol
such occasions to grow long.-St. Loui
Republic.

HEAD NOT NECESSARY.
Insects That Survive Decapitation for
Long Time.


Long Time. 81
Most persons of an observing turn OF
mind are aware of the fact that there
are several species of insects that Will
continue to live without seeming IN
convenience for some time after decapl-
tation. exact knowledge on the length
Of time which the various species OF
insects would survive such mutilatfon
being somewhat vague. Prof. Cones
| trini once undertook series OF expert
ments with view of determining that
and other facts in relation to the won
| derful vitality of such creatures. In
each case the head was smoothly re-
moved with pair OF thin-bladed for-
ceps, and when spontaneous movements
| of wings and legs ceased he employed
sundrv irritating devices, such as prick
inc. squeezing and blowing tobacco
smoke over the insect. AS result OF
these experiments, he ascertained that
members of the beetle family at once
showed signs of suffering, while such
4 as the ants, bees, wasps, ETC., remained
for hours unaffected. Some which
seemed stunned from the effects OF the
operation recovered after time, and
continued to live and enjoy headless
existence for several days. Butterflies
and moths seemed but little affected bl
the guillotining process, and the com
mon flies (diptera) appeared to regard
the operation as huge joke.
