Nature provides series of hooks on
the front edge of the hind wings of iu-
sects, each hook fitting into a groove
on the hind edge OF front wing. The
front and hind wings are thus fastened
together on each side while the insect
is flying, and are unfastened at other
times. This explains why you have
occasionally noticed one of the species
flying, apparently with two wings,
and have seen him display four upon
alighting. This arrangement is ex-
tremely convenient for such little
creatures as the honey bee, which has
to enter SMALL holes, where . large eI-
panse Of wing wonld be useless.

The making of artificial ears has
well nigh reached perfection. They
are made of specially prepared rubber
that can be crumpled without injury
aud are carefully painted to resemble
the natural organ. When one ear is
gone the manufacturer makes a model
of the other ear, and from that model
constructs the artificial member. Then
it is as carefully touched up as a fine
oil painting. When completed it costs

You are still too young to compi ehend the meaning of what has been said here, bu; first of all take care ever to follow the orders end in structions given you. You have taken the oath Of allegiance to me; this means, children of nay guards, tha; you are now my soldiers, that you have given yourself np 70 me, body and soul. But one enemy exists for yeu-my enemy. With the present sociali-tic intrigues, it may happen tha: l shall command you 10 shoot your own relatives, your brothers, even your parents (fronl which God pre- serve us), and then you are in duty bound to obey my orders unhesitat- ipgly."

THE CAMPHOR TREE.
1t Can Be Cultivated With
 Profit in Arizona.

Tie Salt River valley, according to the Agricultural Department, has available for ornamental and useful purposes one of the most beautiful and heallhfuI of trees, viz: the cam pbor tree.
 The results cf an investigation re- garding the camphor tree arc an- nouncs1 in 6 bulletin Of the depart ment. It says that "ior most of tEe secondary purposes the camphor tree msy well be cultivated wherever it can be made to live. Bu. for the dis tillation of camphor gum and oil with a commercial view and for the ITO. duction of wood for cabinet purposes i. must be grown under the most favorable conditions. Minimum win ter temperature should not be belsw 20 degrees Fahrenheit. Soil should be sandy, we'll drained and irrigated unless there are abundant rains and plenty of food, rich in nitrogen"
 It will be seen, therefore, that even for mercantile purposes this is most favorable locality 70 grow this useful tree.-Hera!d,

It is anything but pleasan. to m

It is anything but pleasant to note the delight of some people over the decline in the price Of silver. How Americans can derive happiness from the destruction or embarrassment of su important industry of their coun- try is inexplicabls on any rational theory. If enc should rejoice over a decline in the price of wheat he would be denounced as unpatriotic and as 6 barbarian. But one IS not worse than the other. A true American wIll strive to promote the welfare of the country in regard to all it's industries and interests, and will rejoice over every manifestation Of psosperity.- Los Angeles Herald.
