The Birds balance of Power.

From the Youths Companion
In a recent lecture Prof Wilmer Stone
of Philadelphia cited many facts to show
that birds are natures great check on the
excess of insects, and that they keep the
balance between plants and insect life.
Ten thousand caterpllars, it has been es-
timated, could destroy every blade of
grass on an acre of cultivated ground In
thirty days from the time 1t is Matched
an ordinary caterpillar increases 10000
times in bulk, and the food 1t lives and
grows on is vegetable. The insect popu-
lation of single cherry tree infested with
aphides was calculated by a prominent en-
tomoloeist at no less than 100000! The
bird population of cultivated country dis
tricts has been estimated at from 700 TO
1000 per square mile. This is small com
pared with the number of insects, vet as
each bird consumes hundreds of insects
every day the latter are prevented from
becoming the scourge they would be but
for their feathered enemies.

AN ELECTRIC Love MACHINE.
Thousands. of Engaged Couples Visit the

IN Love Other For the Machne.

London, Oct. 2-The French Academy
of Sciences has in its possession the most
wonderful little instrument ever invented.
1t is an electric love machine, and its
name is not half as remarkable as the
work which it does.
This machine is the invention of Prof
Savary d'Odiardi of Silver street, Nottin-
gate Hill, London. The professor is very
well known in France and England. He
received the medal of honor from the
French Humane Society for his devotion
to humanity, and a medal from the ma
tional commission for national rewards
for his works and inventions.
Prof d Odiardi calls his electric love ma
chine a register of cerebral force. He
says it indicates every motion and reads

termine whether she married from love
or other motives.
This machine can be made useful in
divorces, to see il either had remainel
constant in love. 1t can be used in case
of separation, to determine the CUSTODY OF
the child. If the needle swings toward
the mother instead of the father, her love
must be stronger than his. In that case
both would have to think intently Of tho
child to influence the needle. OF course.
both would endeavor to put force upon
it, and the needle would be a true indi-
cation of the cerebral radiation of love.
There are many other adaptations for
the Electric Love Machine. Phrenologists
claim that no one should marry without
consulting those who can read bumps
This may be true. The love machine Is
also a good indicator, and the man who
consults both of these authorities, and
finds that in each case his lady love reg
listers true to him, need have no objection
to her on the ground Of false motives.

they had gone back 10 their splendid home
in Petersburg, and would after a while re-

The society papers soon after announced
that the brilliant young novelist Mr.
Crichton Emlay. had gone to Russia on
a visit to the Prince Nassili.
Before long the society papers viii have

nouncement Of a marriage between Mr.
