that the faith of the primitive saints which
produced good works has dwindled into
mere passive belief, that the ordinance of
baptism was changed and misapplied in
the early part of the third century. In

the companions that these small creatures
have in their dwelling places.
Professor Fuchs places the ant as next
in intelligence to the human being. He
states that it is the only thing OF life,
outside of the human family, which recog-
cousin or an uncle as readily as we would
recognize relative.
"The ant" said the professor, "has Ian
guage of its own. 1t will, as | suppose
You have seen, stop, its head in contact
with another's for a few seconds. They
carry on conversation during this pro-
cedure. Their conversation is not carried
on by sound, but by the raps of the antenn@
of one upon the head of the other"
The specie of insect life that the ants
permit to occupy their homes are the
Pselophidee. This is on account of the pc
culiar odor that these insects possess. The
ants use them for the scenting of their

phid@ resemble the ants. They are not
permitted to work, the ants supplying them
with all their food. 4
These insects and thousands upon
thousands of others may be seen in the
rooms of Professor Fuchs: There are hun
dreds of cases piled up in his rooms, all of
them numbered and labeled. He will turn
in an instant to any ant. beetle or bug that
he may have in his collection and give a
complete history of the insect in question.

evening with a lantern. The sketch repro

ground OF the world.
The Brooklyn chronological Institute
was founded in 1878 by Professor Fuchs.
He is at present in charge of the entomolo-
eical department of the San Francisco
Academy of Science. He has worked hard
in his efforts to give to the world more
thorough knowledge of insect life.
A specimen of copal was lately presented
to Professor Fuchs by a gentleman who
had been in Africa. This copal has rare
insects imbedded in it which may be dis
tinctly seen, as the copal is thoroughly
transparent. Some Of these in sects are of
ancient origin.
The most remarkable thing about this
copal is drop of water that was impris-
oned there while the formation of the copal
took place. 1t has but about half an inch
of a playground and is supposed to have
been in its imprisoned cell for thousands
of years.
The professor values his whole collection
at $780, 900 and this is by him considered a
cheap price
His collection is certainly marvel and
one that is well worth visit.

bug is known to the scientific world as the
Egialites Fuchsii.
This bug is of such an extreme rarity as
to be seen but BY a very few entomologists.
The only complete specimen is in the pos
session of Professor Fuchs. The British
Museum has offered him the large sum of
$4,000 for the specimen or like price for a
perfect sample, but Professor Fuchs does
not care to- part with the only one of its
species in existence, as he does not think it
possible for him to procure another.
There is very little known concerning

however, that during the past few years 1t

WHAT DO THEY WANT.

The vote was nearly the same as was

The senate is more disposed to COM

possible that a bill may be framed in
