REASON IN INSECTS.
Mental Capacity of Wasps and Humorous
Traits of Fleas.


Traits of Fleas.
Dr. James Weir writes in The Medical
Record that some animals, exceedingly
low In the scale of life, give evidences of
the possession of ratiocjnative faculty, the
same in kind, though not in degree, as
that possessed by man. The doctor quotes
the results of his observations of minute
animalculB Of very low organization In
his experiments he saw "memory, con-
ucious observation and the fundamental
principles of reason clearly demonstrated.
In the case of wasp the doctor relates an
instance in which, after a disagreeable
effort to fly through a glass window the
insect sought for other means of egress,
and, after having discovered a small hole
In one of the panes, made use of 1t after
ward, even when the window was open.
In his experience with 1eas, however, DR..
Weir draws very heavily upon our faith
In mankind We all know that this little
pest has trick of vanishing just about
the time we are about to annihilate him,
and while we were quite prepared to in
vest him with the attribute of malice, we
must confess that the quality of conscious
humOr had not occurred to US up to this
time
The flea, according to the doctor, is an
insect of infinite jest, which leases his
brothers and sisters just as the naughty
little boy in the books. This is not a
theory of the doctor, but is the result Of
his observation. He has seen the comedy
enacted on a dogs legs, where a flea is
supposed to be happiest Hereafter, when
an unfortunate mortal is the victim Of a
flea's agility and is chasing the nimble
little insect from head to heel, it may re-
lieve the bite to be informed that MIR. Flea
is simply getting rid of his superintendent
humor and is enjoying the situation most
keenly. That reflection may make us
kinder to an insect which, in proportion
to size, has greater capacity for produc-
ing misery than any other insect known
to the entomologist or suffering humanity.
When the flea is "cavorting'' over the hui
man body, do not grow angry or profane.
He is only amusing himself. 1t is his way

THE HORRIBLE GEORGIA FIND.
Neighborhood story of IN Woman
Who DisapDenred.

ATLANTA, GA. July 12.-Specials to
the Journal from Quitman, Brooks coun-
ty, confirm the reported finding there of
a woman's body, hacked to pieces and
packed in barrel, which had been buried
in a swamp. The discovery was made
by a farmer named Jacob Wooten, on
Mule creek The body was tumbled into
a barrel. and dirt was packed around it,
but it was still in a remarkable state OF
preservation, the flesh retaining almost
its natural coloring. The top end Of the
barrel was decayed, and pine roots had
worked themselves through its side. This
would seem to indicate that it had been
there for some time. No one has been
missed from the community, and it is
the general opinion that 1t was
either buried there several years ago, or
else was brought there from some dis
tance away. Rumors in the county have
it that several years ago there lived near
that place a man who had a wife. whose
hair was the color of the corpse's, and
that the mans wife left and has never
since been seen. Shortly after her disap-
pearance the man left for Florida with
another woman. who did not stand high
in the community.
