The month of May has not proven more
satisfactory for the anthracite trade than did
April. At its beginning, there was IA tenn
pomry activity in the New England market.
This was brought about through an advance
ia barge rates to seveuty-dye and eighty
cents, owing to the fear that the war might
prevent regular shipments, but as this was
found to be without good ground, the rates
dropped and those whose orders had not
gone forward had them stopped, while other
buyers decided to wait until the rates again
reached a satisfactorily low figure. Charters
were obtainable for iifty-five and sixty cents
at the end of the month and were expected
to 90 lower. The market at Philadelphia,
Baltimore and Washington was without a
feature of interest so far as the quantity OF
sales was concerned, but prices at these points
have been extremely weak, and material
concessions are known to have been given.
/ In the West at Buffalo and corresponding
/ points, the same condition exists. The mar
/ ket for the steam sizes has suffered seriously
/ through the small production. Some orders
for them have been filled with larger sized
coal, but in the majority of cases the con
/ sumers have taken a quantity Of soft coal
/ which they have used either alone or with
such amount Of small anthracite as they

A native of Gers would have a Tenn pie of Beauty, with an exhibition of ty- pical VenuSeS from every country and every cline; while gentleman of classic tastes would like to see the fa- nous Horse of Troy and the Colossus of Rhodes reconstructed for nineteenth century eyes.
 A novel proposal is to exhibit 50,000 francs in gold pieces, and the same sum in pieces of silver. By an arrange ment of mirrors these piles of coins are to be multiplied to 2.000,000; scheme. no doubt, designed to illustrate the vanity of riches.

Up the slopes of this mountain rail- way would be constructed, with sta- tions at each stage of the ascent.

general construction of the average in- sect.
 Insects are distinguished from lower invertebrate animals by having the body divided into three parts-head. thorax and abdomen. and by possess ing in the adult condition six legs. dis posed in three pairs, and usually four wings as well.
 The head carries, first. the mouth or gans, which vary much in different groups, the butterfly being only a thinker; and, secondly, the organs of sense, consisting chiefly of the eyes and antennae, the latter being a pair of long, pointed appendages, popularly termed horns" and possessed in a conspicuous degree by certain beetles
 The thoraX carries the legs beneath and the wings above. The abdomen carries no legs in the adult insect, but has frequently in the female a more or less complicated apparatus at the end, sometimes looking like a long tail and used for depositing eggs, and, therefore, called an ovispositor
 Most insects pass through a series of transformations during the course of their 1ife which are called, collective ly, "metamorphoseS."
 They are. first, the eggs; secondly. the larvae, grub or caterpillar; thirdly. the chrysaliS or pupa, and fourthly, the perfect insect or image. There are other characteristics of a less obvious nature but the foregoing are in most cases sufficient for practical purposes, and will enable one to determine what animals are insects and what are not.
 The insects are subdivided. according to the nature of the wings. the feeding apparatus and the life history, into groups called orders. Every important order is represented among household insects, so that every man is in a posi- tion to study entomology
 From most insects the head can be removed and the insect will retain muscular life for considerable time. From others the abdomen can be re- moved. The thorax is always the most vital portion of the body. From these peculiarities it will be seen how greatly the process of grating is facilitated in the case of insects.

discoveries. He had seen the speci- mems, and he told how the graftlng was done. His remarks created some thing of a sensation.
 T confess" said MT. Crampton, that 1 got the germ of my idea from a Ger man scientist named Born. He had tried the grating of tadpoles, operating upon them when they were in the egg form. He met with success so far as the tadpoles were concerned, producing some strange specimens, but l do not think he ever succeeded in getting them into the frog stage"
 MT. Champions den is a curious little place, just the sort of place in which one might expect to find all sorts or queer things. The shelves which lined the walls were filled with jars of speci- mems, among them being several of the freak butterflies. In one corner was a little chest of drawers.
 That is my hospital" remarked the young entomologiSt, pulling out one Of the drawers. It was partitioned off into little compartments, in which were the pupae awaiting their birth into the freak butterfly existence. Heads of some had been grafted to the bodies of others; others were joined back to back, and all sorts of strange combina- tions had been effected.
 Mr Champion then showed how he did the trick. Selecting a couple of CO., coons, which looked something like peanut shells, he split them open and extracted the worm, or pupa. He said that each one represented a different species of moth.
 Suspended over a spirit lamp was little vessel containing paraffine wax, which Is used in welding the parts to- gether. With sharp razor Mr Crampton severed two pupae, placing the head of one on the posterior half of the other and vice versa Then, dip ping little brush in the warm wax he grafted the two portions. Ih a minute the wax had hardened. and then two embryonic monstrosities were pl ced in the Hospital along with probably a hun dred other patients, who had suffered decapitatiOn. without serious results.
 Some of them gave a slight wriggle as the newcomers were admitted. al- though there was very little semblance of actual life. One of the little chaps that was very much alive had no head at all. Most of them had exchanged
