An Easy Going Genius.

The one out and out genius the writer
knows lives down in Ohio. Anything he
wants and cannot buy he invents. Any
thing in the market that he needs, if IL be
manufactured article and costs more
than he cares to pay, he makes. He is en-
ployed by one of the large establishments
in his section of his country. He just
wanders about at his own sweet will,
making an improvement here and there on
the engines that he invented and keeping
them Just a little in advance of all com
petitors.
When his investigating turn of mind
suggested the desirability of his having n
telescope, he went to Pittsburg to get it,
The price YVES too high, and he notified the
house that he would go home and make
one He was answered by an incredulous
laugh, but he did perfect every detail ex-
cept the lenses in a way to put previous
efforts to the blush. The result of his sec
ond trip was to learn that the lenses com
prised the chief item of cost in telescope.
He could get no reduction and again served
notice that he would go home and make
what he wanted The idea was secuted,
but this genius carried it out and inciden
tally invented the finest method of grinding
lenses that has ever been known.
TO please one of his children he pro-
duced the first automatic piano and the
first machine to grind out music from a
punctured sheet of paper or metal.
One thing about this genius is that he
never patents his inventions. 1t Is enough
pleasure for him TO work out puzzling me-
chanical problems, and he never thinks of
money except when he has occasion to
spend it. -Detroit Free Press.

The Last Straw.

A certain small boy much given to
punctuatirg his remarks with the in
terrogation point rather exceeded him
self the other day. All morning and all
afternoon did he keep up a steady fire
of questions. If it wasn't Why does the
wind blow? it was What makes the
leaves green? or How many drops of
water are there in the ocean? At last
his poor, long suffering mother could
stand it no longer, and shortly before
dinner she hustled him off to bed and
told him to stay there until he could
break himself of the foolish, trouble
some habit of asking questions. But the
child safe in bed and the house quiet,
the mother began to repent. How cross
she had been, how impatient, and how
unwise and unmotherly it was to thus
check the aspirations of the childish
mind for useful knowledge! Here was
this young, growing intellect, eager to
reach out and grasp whatever was of
interest and value, and here was she, to
whose charge that young intellect had
been committed, Sinking her duty. At
this stage in her reflections the mother
rose, and repairing to her sons bedside,
told him that he wasn't such dreadful
boy after all, and that if he had any
more questions to ask she would do her
best to answer them. "All right" re-
piled the little boy. Mamma, how far
can cat spit?"-New York Sun.

Insects Fast Disappearing.

English entomologists are becoming
alarmed at the rapid disappearance of
the insects of the woods and fields. The
Leicester Literary and Philosophical So
ciety has drawn up series of regula-
tions to protect the insects from the
greed of collectors and requires that no
specimen of the wood white butterfly
shall be taken, while of certain other
species collector may take but single
specimen during a season. Violations of
the rules bring unpleasant penalties. a
transgressor who is d member of the So
ciety may be expelled, he will be re-
ported to any other society of which Inc
is member, and the influence of the
society will be used to prevent him from
exchanging or dealing in any way with
other entomologists. While these regu.
lations may be difficult to enforce, it is
hoped that their influence in preserving
rare insects from determination may be
considerable.

Bees as AIDS In War.

History records two instances, accord
ing to Mr.. Whiteley Stokes in the Lon
don Athenf9um, III which bees have
been used in warfare as weapons against
besieging forces. The first is related by
Appian of the siege of Themiscyra, in
Pontus, by Iucullus in his war against
Mithridates Turrets were brought up,
mounds were built and huge mines were
made by the Romans. The people of
Themiscyra dug open these mines from
above and through the hCles cast down
upon the workmen bears and other wild
animals and hives or swarms of bees.
The second instance is recorded in an
Irish manuscript I'm the Bibliotheque
Royale at Brussels, and tells how the
Danes and Norwegians attacked Ches-
ter, which was defended by the Saxons
and some Gallo auxiliaries. The Danes
were worsted by a stratagem, but the
Norwegians, sheltered by hurdles, tried
TO pierce the walls of the town when
"what the Saxons and the Gaeidhil who
were among them did was to throw
down large rocks, by which they broke
down the hurdles over their heads. /"
What the others did to check this was
to place large posts under the hurdles.
What the Saxons did next was to put
all the beer and water of the town into
the caldrons of the town and boil them
and spill them down upon those who
were under the hurdles, so that their
skins were peeled off. The remedy
which the Lochlans applied to this was
to place hides outside on the hurdles
What the Saxons did next was to throw
down all the beehives III the town upon
the besiegers, which prevented them
from moving their hands or legs, from
the number of bees which stung them.
They afterward desisted and left the
citv
