Telepathy in Insects.

l have been perusing an account of
some remarkable observations made on
"telepathy" in insects by Prof. G. ".
Riley and detailed in the course of his
address as President of the Washington
Biological Society, says an English writ
or. Mr.. Riley is arguing that special
senses, whereof we are entirely ignorant,
are to be ranked among the probable
possession of insects and in support of
his views he adduces an example of deep
interest. In 1868 Mr.. Riley obtained
from the Commissioner of Agriculture
eggs of SANTA cynthia, the ailanthus
silkworm of japan, which the Commits
sioner had then recently introduced to
America. / presume. Frof. Riley was
living in Chicago. and in his garden
grew two ailanthus trees. which were to
afford food for the silkworms. He had
every and good reason to believe that
there were no other eggs Of this species
of moth in any part of the country for
at leaet hundreds of miles around
Chicago. Accordingly, Mr.. Riley reared
a number of the larvae and carefully
watched for the first appearance of the
moths from the cocoons. The first moth
he kept separate from the others. A
female moth was confined in wicker
cage on one of the ailanthus trees. And
the same evening Mr.. Riley took male
moth to another part Of Chicago and let
him loose. This moth had silk thread
tied around the base Of his tail for the
purpose of Identification. The distance
between the liberated male moth and
the imprisoned female was at least a
mile and half, but the next morning
found the male beside his mate.

TEACHING POINTS.

l. The manger-story is testimony to the
blessedness Of all childhood-In every new
born child is an untarnished lily-white purity
Every new born child knows spiritual peace
like that of the placid sky. We can learn from
children more that we can teach them,
2. The manger-story suggests that every
child. however humbly born. is entitled to fair
start in the world.-Poyerty need be neither a
shame nor crushing weight. Joseph rose from
slavery to be primeminister of Egypt; Moses
the emancipation of his race was born slave;
David the great king was born shepherd. In
modern times, Franklin rose from printers
apprentice Lincoln from rail-splitter. Garfield
from canal-man. Hosea Ballou from humble
home, where he learned to read by the light Of
pine knots. Every child, however born, is a
brother Of Jesus.
3. The manger-story is prophecy of peace
on earth,-The peace of God so shone In the
face of Jesus that John the Baptist named him
"the lamb of God" Out OF the troubled life OF
Jesus comes to men a Divine peace; 1t will en-
wrap the world at last.

that man called Keis, the son of poor
widow in Siraf, once embarked for India
and took with him the only property
which he possessed, which was cat In
India he fortunately arrived at time
when the palace was 30 infested by mice
or rats that they invaded the kings food,
and persons were employed to drive them
from the royal banquet. Keis produced
his cat, the vermin soon disappeared, and
magnificent rewards were bestowed on
the adventurer of Siraf, who returned to
that city, and afterward with his moth
er and brothers settled on that island,
which has been called Keis, or, accord
ing to the Persians, Keish. This Incl
dent is stated to have occurred in the
tenth century, so that we may see that
before the time at which the history of
Wilmington became popular, abundant
space had elapsed for it to become known
in England, where some story tellers, to
give it a local interest, tackled it on to
the popular name of the famous lord
mayor.-HGrtford Courdnt.

ORIGINAL SOURCES OF SOME OLD
STORIES.

1t is curious how many of the stories
which are told of we'll known and popu-
lar historical characters, and some OF
which are generally received as undoubt-
ed facts, are proved upon research to be
merely scraps of much more ancient tic
ton, which have come. in course to time,
to be attached to the persons in CUES
ton.
The story of William Tell and the APP
pie is familiar to every schoolboy, and it
would seem to belong to man and to a
period of which we have such complete
information that its authenticity could
scarcely be called in question. Yet in
the old Morse tale of Volund or Velint,
we find an episode which so closely re.
sembles it that there can be no doubt of
it's being the original from which the
Tell story is derived. Velint and his
younger brother Egil, who is famous for
his skill in archery, are at the court OF
King Midung, in Jutland, and the king
commands that Egil shall show his skill
by shooting an apple from the head of
his son, child of three years. He per-
forms the feat, but the king notices that
he has taken two arrows from his culver,
and demands the reason. Egil answers,
These arrows were for thee if had hit
the child" The exact age of this story
is not known, but it certainly dates many
centuries earlier than the time of Tell.
Another equally we'll known story is
that Of the slaughter of the dog Gelert
by Llewellyn. This has been so far 10
Called that even the grave of the dog is
shown at place to which it has given
name in England. Yet in the old collec-
ton of stories called The Seven Wise
Masters, which was translated into En-
glish from the Latin, and into the Latin
from the Hebrew, and into the Hebrew
from the Sanskrit, relation is made of a
lord who has an only son, an infant, and
a hound which he loves greatly. The
nurse goes into the room in which is the
child's cradle, and seeing it overturned
and the dog covered with blood. PUSHES
out to tell her master that the dog has
killed and devoured his son. The father
draws his sword and stabs the hound;
but when the cradle is removed the child
is found to be beneath it safe and sound
and near to it dead serpent is discov-
cred which the dog had killed in defense
of the child This, with the substitution
of the wolf for the serpent, is precisely
the story of Gelert, and we may see from
it that the circumstances. if they ever
happened at all. must have happened,
not in Wales five or six centuries ago,
but in India at least thousand years
earlier.
we may take as third instance the
tale of Whittingtons Cat. with which we
have all been intimate from childhood.
Sir Richard Wilmington is historical,
and he lived in the reign Of Richard ii,
Henry w, and Henry v; but his won
derful cat appeared to have come from
the East. There is in the Persian Gulf
an island named Keis, and it is stated
on the authority of Persian manuscript
