Tho "Ears, Of Insects.

The naturalists have not as yet been
able to answer the burning question:
"Can bees hear?" but their researches
along that line have resulted in man!
queer discoveries. Simply because O
bee has no ears on the sides of his head
it is no sign whatever that he is wholly
without some sort of an auditory nerve
This last assertion is proved by the
fact that grasshoppers, crickets, 10
Gusts and flies all have their ears stu
ated in queer places-under the wings.
on the middle of the body and even on
the SIDES of their legs. The common
house fly does his hearing by means Of
some little rows of corpuscles. which
are situated on the knObbed threads
which occupy the place which are taken
up by the hind wings of other species
o. insects. The garden slug or shell
less snail has his organs of hearing
situated on each side of his neck, and
the common grasshopper has them on
each of his broad, fat thighs. In some
of the smaller insects they are at the
bases of the wings, and in Others on
the bottom of the feet.-St. Louis Re-

The Curious Tale Of . Monastery In the
Canary Islands.

The Curious Tale OF Monastery in the
Canary Islands.
A curious tale of a besieged and con-
quered monastery belongs to the early
history of the Canary islands and is
retold by Charles Edwardes in his de-
scription Of the isles. In the early part
of the Eighteenth century there existed
in Orotaya, on the Island of Tenerife,
a convent of Dominican nuns, who, after
some years of ease, had the misfortune
to be burned out of house and home.
They went into temporary quarters for
a year, but became dissatisfied with such
unconventional walls and began look
ing about for a permanent abiding place.
AT that time there was in Orotava
house of Jesuits, which had lost its
former Importance, and, though COM
modious and healthful, gave lodging to
but two men-the rector of the house
and his assistant.
On this mansion the nuns cast covet-
Gus eyes and soon resolved to appropri-
ate it. One morning about 40 of them
advanced upon it, by strategy induced
the Jesuit brother to open the outer
door and then, trooping into the court
yard, fell on their knees, thanking God
fer this preliminary success. In vain
did the two men reason with them on
the scandalous conduct. They merely
held their ground, exclaiming: Father
Andrew, this is large cage for SO few
birds" Some of the more reasonable
members of the sisterhood explained
that they were really in need of a dwell
ing as spacious as this and that they
did not propose leaving it. The rector
IN despair fed into the sacristy, from
which retreat he exhorted his colleague
tobe Of good cheer. Patience, brother"
cried he, "and do your best to extricatc
yourself from these ladies'" That, how
ever, was more easily said than done,
especially as the nuns were becoming so
excited that they might momentarily
have been expected to resort to the argu-
ment of nails. The siege lasted for three
or four hours. News Of it flew about the
town and bands of young men, scrupu-
lousy neutral, watched proceedings
from the bars Of the outer gate.
Eventually the Jesuits yielded and the
nuns occupied the house until new
convent, entirely to their taste, was
erected for tnem.-London Globe.

The first lanthropological society,
for the study of mankind considered
with reference to the animal history
of the race, was founded in London
in 1863.
The temperature of the suns sur
face is greater than we have anywhere

suns surface has been measured and
determined to be between 1900 and
10000 degrees Fahrenheit.
Until 1870 the smelling of iron was
always performed with charcoal, nor
was it's use wholly superseded in large
foundries by coal and coke until 1888.
and indeed in many establishments and
for several kinds of manufactured iron
charcoal is still employed.
-Torto;ses live to great age. In the
library of Lambeth palace there is the
shell of a tortoise which was brought
there in 1923, and which lived until
1870. Another in Fulham palace, pro-
cured by Bishop Laud in 1928, died in
1853, and one at Peterboro lived 220
years. s .,...

They Arc Asked to Experiment with
New Cancer Cure.
One of the greatest triumphs of the
medicine of the future Will be the dis
covery of cure for cancer. NJ. Dcn-
isenko, a Russian doctor, on the strength
Of investigations he has made, earnest
ly entreats the medical profession to ex-
pertinent upon the sap of the wartwort,
ChelidOnium majus, as possible rem
edy for the treatment of this frightful
scourge. The sap of the plant is widely
Gsed in Russia, as it is in other cou1-
tries, for making warts disappear. DR..
Denisenko has found that after pro-
lorged use in very small doses prepa-
ration of the sap, administered inter-
nally, causes cancer growths to d:sap-
pear. He has published n paper, Illus
trated by photographs, in which the
history of seven cases of cancer ar"
given, four being eases of external
growths in such places of the body as
rendered surgical operations of no use,
and three cases internal growth in
the esophagus and the stomach. From
the photographs it would seem that the
effects of the internal treatment cspe-
cially are simply astonishing. The
growths have totally disappeared. The
growth in the esophagus was formerly
so great that the patient could swallow
liquid food only; he can now swallow
chopped meat, bread and hard-boiled
eggs. This is said to be the first case
on scientific record of cancer growths
being expelled by the use of internal
remedies only. OF course, the growths
may reappear. It is to settle this quns-
ton that DIR. Denisenko specially ap-
peals to his colleagues for cooperation.
Another essential point is that the Chal-
idonium sap contains two deadly alka-
loids, chelidonine and sangui-pyrine,
and it has to be proved whether its con-
tinued use, even in small doses, will not
tell in the long run.-Cincinnau En-

SUFFERERS FROM "FLAT FEET"
How tho Breaking Down of the Arch Is
Romodiod.


Remedicd. E
Despite the fact that the beauty OF a
well-arched foot is much appreciates
by people of an artistic turn or mind
has been sung frequently by poets and
versemakers, there has been until late
ly little interest, from n scientific point
OF view, taken in its direct opposite
the flat foot. In great number OF IN
stances fiat feet are the occasion OF
considerable keen suffering. generally
resulting from the breaking down OF
the arch-that is, the displacement OF
scme of the many little bones OF the
foot, either from overstrain or some
disease of the muscular structure. AS
the weight of the body constantly rests
upon the foot there is 10 opportunity
for the bones to get back to their
proper places.
The result is that these little bones
keep rubbing against each other, and
the pain gets more and more severe.
Commonly the persons afflicted IN TINS
way think that he or she has rheuma
tism and let it go at that. Until re-
Gently the only remedy was steel
soled shoe that was clumsy and heavy.
The new device is interesting. 1t is ar
"insole," curved to fit the foot, made
of bent strip of steel and acting as
spring. 1t is covered either with leath-
cr or with vulcanized rubber TO pre-
vent rusting, and, needing no fasten-
ing, but simply to be placed in position
it can be changed from one shoe to an
other at will.
In position it acts simply az sup
port. literally holding up the bones,
and giving them an opportunity 10 siip
bock into their proper places. While
any s'insole'' of the approximate shape
will give relief, the best results arc
reached only when one is especially
made from cast or impression OF the
foot. A great proportion OF the peo-
ple troubled with fat feet come from
the north of Europe, many OF them
from the lowlands of Germany. The
inhabitants of the south OF Europe.
strangely enough. are seldom troubled
with anything of the sort. Their in
steps, especially in the case of women,
are nearly always highly arched and
finely formed.-N. Y. Tribune

ELEPHANTS ROLLED ABOARD.

How tho Big Beasts Embarked ON. .
steamboat at \ Chicago Wharf,
A group of elephants made up the
cargo which was shipped for Milwau-
kee the other day on the steamer City
of Fremont. 1t is seldom that such
consignment of freight is shipped on
the lake boats, and the stevedores 10
not banker to handle such shipment.
1t knocks all the poetry out of the life
on the rolling wave to tackle the cir
Gus elephant and drag him over the
gangplank by the tusks.
There were five elephants in the
party. When they arrived at the docks
the question arose as to how they were
to be loaded. They were too tall to
walk aboard the steamer in the low
gangway, and the sailors were not
husky enough to wheel them on board.
Had they been anything but trained
elephants they would have had to swim
to the Cream City or else go by land.
The captain of the steamer was in
clined to believe that he had contracted
for an impossible undertaking, as the
animals were not sufficiently skillfui
to climb q rope ladder to the upper
deck. He was sorely disappointed, as
his ambition had always been to haul Il
menagerie out on the pillows, and then
he could use them to trim the vessel.
But the trainer was not so easily dis
couraged. He knew his beasts better
than the captain did, and was, there
fore, equal to the occasion. He ordered
the smallest of the troupe to lie down
on the gangplank, and the animal COM
piled without a whimper. The ele
phant was then asked to roll on board,
which command was also obeycd
promptly. The monster brute made.
but two revolutions and found himself
bound for Milwaukee.
In telling of the novel occurrence one
of the dockmen said:
I'VE got them on board safely by
rolling them down the gangplank, but it
was tight squeeze for the two biggest.
When the steamer felt the weight OF
the elephants on one side she listed
some, but was properly trimmed al
last, when the keeper ordered them to
lie down amidships. They did as they
were bid without making any bones
about it. l suppose they thought they
were going back to Africa. I've seer
horses make more trouble than those
elephants did when being loaded"
When the boat got well under way
and felt the swell of the water as the
east winds blew, the elephants PROVED
themselves good sailors, and trumpete,
their delight. They looked out at tn.
broad waste of seas and sky, and watched
the distant sails with as much interest
as the two-legged passengers above
them did.
The smallest one, however, when the
city had long been lett behind, fell
somewhat uneasy. He rubbed his pom,
derous stomach with his trunk, and dc.
livered shrill trumpeting sound
which drowned out the sound of the b;e
whistle. The captain tried to make
dicker for the animal, as he said tha'
his vocal strength far exceeded the
power of the vessels deep-voiced fog
horn.-Chicago Inter Ocean,
