Two years ago Kansas colony con-
sisting of about dozen persons sold
out all their property and set forth
with the proceeds to the Holy Land,
for the purpose of rebuilding Jerusa-
lem in preparation for the second
coming of Christ. The fund all told
consisted of about $4,000, and it
must have required faith as grain of
mustard seed to believe that such a
sum would be sufficient to make the
towers of imperial Salem again rise
crowned with light and restore the
splendors of Solomon's Temple. The
experiment has, of course, turned out
failure, announces the New York
Tribune, and the colonists are to re-
turn to Kansas, leaving Jerusalem to
its natural processes of growth and
decay, as they ought to have done
from the beginning. In starting life
over again in the homes they aban.
doned they are not likely to find the

Queer Insect Freaks
Produced by Grating.

According to the New York World,
Henry E. Champion, ir., an instructor
in biology In Columbia University has
successfully accomplished what seems
at first blush to be the impossible. By
the use Of his knife, on living, breath
ing nature, and then the grating pro-
cess, he has produced and amazing
collection OF monstrosities in the in.
sect kingdom.
In other words, he has created two
headed butterflies, tandem butterflies,
moths with two heads and no tails,
some with two abdomens, others with
two breasts and no backs, and all i'm
aginsble varieties. He has jumbled
the anatomy Of the insects into be-
wildering mixture, and what is OF
supreme importance, has demonstrated
to the satisfaction OF scientists, for the
first time in the history of science, the
possibility Of upsetting what are re.
garded as the fundamental laws Of
nature.
As yet the experiments of Mr.. Cramp.
ton are in incipient stages. 1t is be.
lieved by other biologists that il may
be possible to extend his findings into
higher animal life and ultimately pro.
duce combinations of superlative oddi
ty. The practical value Of his dis
coveries has not yet been determined
but they may prove to be Of service tc
physicians, and in that event, it i.
said, the whole science Of medicine
will be uprooted and reorganized.
The discoverer is only twenty-foul

,ars of age. He stumbled upon the

years Of age. He stumbled upon the
grating idea year ago while examin-
ing the phenomenon Of cellular life
that is, the life Of certain insects in
the pupae stage. He never made
much of his discoveries, and they
would not be known now were it not
that Professor J. B. Smith, who has
charge Of the biological department of
the New Jersey State Experiment
Station at New Brunswick, N. j., in
an address before the New Jersey
Microscopica Society at New Brunswick
referred briefly to them.
On December 28 last the American
Society of Naturalists held its annual
convention at Ithaca, N. Y. One Of
the speakers at the convention was
Mr.. Champion. He had with him
twenty-five jars in which were pre-
served in alcohol that number Of spec
linens of moths aud butterflies with
their anatomies completely mixed.
These created profound sensation.
Mr.. Champion modestly explained
how he had achieved the wonder.
In his laboratory at New Brunswick
Professor Smith demonstrated to re-
porter for the New York World how
the grating was done. From his col
lection he took two caterpillars, in the
pupe or third stage Of the caterpillar
life, when it is developing into moth
or butterfly.
In the pupp stage the caterpillar
rests in cell somewhat like the shell
of peanut. but two and half times
as long and half again as large in di-
ameter. When this cell is cut open
the evoluting inmate is found to be q
strange looking object about an inch
In length, half an inch in diameter,
tapering sharply at one end and round
ing bluntly at the other.
The specimens exhibited by Profes.
sor Smith were dark brown in color.
When the cells were first cut open the
pupm moved. With the blade of his
penknife Professor Smith cut of what
he said was the head Of one of the cat
erpillars. Then he placed it along
side of the whole one. The interior
OF the pupe was a substance of ths
color and about the density Of CON
densed milk.
"The grating process" the profess
sor said, sis simply this. The head il
attached to the body Of the other witt
parstine wax. In other words, it il
soldered on to the other pupas. Their
the combination Is put away snd
allowed to grow. In due time the
pupas develops into Q two-beadei
moth OF butterfly.

as the old miners say, there were no

on the creek for dinner one day, and
