THE JUMPING BEAN.
Funny Antics Of a Small Triangu-
lar-Shaped Seed.
The CarPocapsa saititans Spins Its siIken
Case Within n Shell and Then Runs
Hither and Thither with Its
Peculiar Home.

The sixteen puzzle, pigs in clover
and numerous similar toys have had
their day in amusing many thousands
of the children of larger growth in our
great and busy cities, writes A. s. Full
Ter in American Gardening. OF late a
much greater curiosity has made it's
appearance in the form of little semi
tropical seeds widely known as Next
can jumping beans, and these have
taken the place of the older brain-con-
fusing puzzles. For the past two or
three months dignifed bankers,
brokers, merchants and their associates
and customers have been devoting
their leisure moments to watching the
antics of these triangular-s shaped seeds
when placed on any smooth surface,
and it makes no difference which side
up they are, they move along with a
jump all the same. These saltatorian
curiosities have caught half the bust
ness men of the city; but, fortunately,
the craze only affects the cheerful side
of human nature, hence is not as de-
pressing as figuring out ones prospect
I've income tax.
These little seeds have history, for
thirty-seven years ago a number Of
them were sent from Mexico to Eng
land, and arrived in the autumn Of
1857. In some of these, at later Pc
Rod, the insect was found to have
changed to the chrysalis state and carly
the following spring the moths APP
peared. The species was then deter
mined and described in a paper read
before the chronological society, on
the 18th of June, 1858, by the eminent
entomologist, Prof. |. o. Westwood,
who named the insect Carpocapsa
saltitans. As it's name indicates, it is
a first cousin of our common apple
worm c. pomonella, but the latter
leaves its feeding ground and spins a
cocoon elsewhere, while the inhabitant
of the jumping seed spins its silken
case within, upon which it can hump,
bump and jump without injury to deli
cate little self.
Some specimens of these seeds were
sent to Paris in the same year they
were sent to England, and these were
exhibited at the Academy of Sciences,
but the French savants made a mistake
in suppoSing that the inhabitant of the
seed was the larva of beetle and not
of a moth, as had been previously de.
termined by Prof. Westwood.
The seeds in which these insects are
found are evidently the products of

THE CAUSE OF THE JUMPING BEAN.

plants belonging to the genus Euphor-
bia, which contains about one hundred
species Indigenous to the United States,
mainly inha biting Texas and westward
to the Pacific. There are annual, bi-
ennial and perennial species, mostly
herbaceOus, but some are shrubby with
large seeds. 1t is not to be supposed
that the insect under consideration con-
fines itself to any one species any more
than the apple moth does to the apple,
but the latter attacks all fruits large
enough to support its young that be-
long to the Pyrus or apple family.
Just how the little grub encased in
the jumping seeds manages to move
them is what puzzles us, for it cannot
get grip upon anything outside; con-
Bequently employs some principles of
mechanics which has not as yet been
fully explained. Shut a man up in
triangular box and he would find it be-
yOnd his power to make jumps the
full length of his body and carry box
and all! but this seems to be a very
easy matter with our curious little
saltatorian. There are also jumping
oak gals produced bya fly (eynips) and
jumping coooons, and all probably EN-
ploy the same means of propulsion.

No poet in the United States has the
same hold upon the minds of the peo-
pie as James WhitcOmb Riley, for they
bought $4,000 worth of his verse last
year, and is also one of the most success
full lecturers on the American platform.
He gives the lie, too, to an old saying,
for he is a prophet in his own country,
where his poems are read by people
who never read poetry in their lives
before, while he appeals equally to the
man who is heart-sick of the hollow
ness of conventional verse.

YawninG Is Good Exercise.

Yawning, when reasonably and
methodically practiced, is said by Herr
Nogeli to be an excellent thing for
those who wish to strengthen their
constitutions. He has made a study OF
it, and positively asserts that a series
of heavy yawns is of more benefit than
q bottle of the best tonic. To practice
deep breathing is generally acknowl-
edged to be an excellent thing for the
lungs, and Nogeli says the stretching
of the arms and breast bones which ac-
companies a yawn. together with the
expansion of the lungs, forms splendid
morning and evening exercise, and the
most perfect chamber gymnastics to
people generally, and especially for all
those whose breathing is embarrassed.
In future, therefore, says Invention, if
our friends yawn when we are discours-
ing to them we may console ourselves
with the thought that it is not because
we are boring them, but that they are
enthusiasts, and are practising their
chamber gymnastics" In the wrong

When the area and square inches Of

largest coins ever issued by any govern

under the law, which authorized this
gigantic coinage, was an irregular rec

1t was worth about 80 cents. The largest

RILEY AND HIS POETRY.
They Are Both Popular Because
They Are Natural
The Early Years of the Gentle Hoosier
Poet We're Spent on a Fsrm-StOry
of His Eirst Successful APP
pearance In Print,

The tone of James Whitcomb Riley's
poetry tells for itself that he was once
a farmer boy. His fathers home was
in the old farming town of Greenfield,
Ind, and there the lad grew up in the
midst of sweet, healthy country life,
although the poet is apt to confess
with merry twinkle in his eye that he
was of little use in farming, yet, as he
adds: my father used to press US
boys into service in corn-plantin' time
and we went very loathfully; at least
did" He tells frankly, too, that no
was no scholar, for, as he confesses:
AT sixteen ! could not repeat the sim
plest schoolboy speech without break
ing down and rather than undertake it
deliberately chose to take a whip
ping"
After leaving school he began to
write for local papers and his first ap-
pearance in print was made in the
Kokomo Tribune, where a number Of
dialect poems were published under
the name of John c. Walker. 1t was
not until the appearance of Leonainie,
which he gave to the world as a newly
discovered poem of Edgar Allan Poe's,
that Riley's work began to obtain rec
ognition in literary circles. Then came
a little volume of dialect poems, which
were professedly by B. F. johnson, Of
Boon, and following it there appeared
THE Boss Girl" "Afterwhiles, ""Pipes
o Pan" and handful of the sweetest
poems under the taking title of odd
Fashioned Roses"
Mr.. Riley is hard worker and pre-
fers the unreasonable hours of night
for his labor. He is warm-hearted,
genial. companionable man and in his
versatility and mastery of the faulty
everyday language of his countrymen,
he never had an equal. His thoughts
are chaste and the human sympathy
and pure purpose that runs through
his song is the true index of the man
and will be his best and most lasting
eulogy. The potent charm of Mr..
Rileys poetry is found in frank con-
fession in one of his poems, where he
says:
Tell OF the things just like they was;
They don't need no excuse.
Don't tech ON up as the poets does
Till they re all too fine for use.
The same thought he puts into prose,
when he confesses: 81 don't believe in
dressing up nature. Nature is good
