The .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 many
queer discoveries. Simply because a
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 grassshoppers, crickets, To-
Gusts and flies all have their ears situ-
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
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 Oueen'a IelCnhnnist

n new Office has just been inaugurated
at Windsor castle in connection with
the household of the queen. 1t is that
Iof. court telephonist, and the respon-
sihility of the position may be con-
ceived when it is borne in mind that the
queen does not herself speak over the
telephone or place her ear to the re-
ceiver, deputing that to the newly ap-
pointed court telephonist, who, accord
ingly, becomes initiated into every
secret and confidential matter that
passes over the wire between her mai,
esty and her ministers and officials
The court telephonist, who will rank
with Mr.. Hiley, the court telegraphist,
is a son of the late Gen. Sir George
Maude, known to SO many American
tourists in London as superintendent
of the royal stables and crown cquerTy.
Young Mr.. Maude, who is a relative OF
Lord Montalt, has for some time past
been attached in secretarial capacity
to the office OF Sir Fleetwood Edwards,
keeper Of her majesty's private purse.
The latter's colleague, Sir Arthur Bigge,
private secretary to the queen, by the
by, has become such an enthusiast
about the bicycle that he insists on US
ing it even for conveying himself few
hundred yards from one part of the
castle to the other-London Letter.

They Are Asked to Experiment with q
New Cancer Cure.
One of the greatest triumphs of the
medicine of the future will be the dis
covery of cure for cancer. NJ. Den
isenko, 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 a possible rem
edy for the treatment of this frightful
scourge. The sap of the plant is widely
Isod in Russia, as it is in other coun-
tries, for making warts disappear. DIR.
Denisenko has found that after pro-
lorged use in very small doses prepa-
ration of the sap, administered inter
nally, causes cancer growths to disap-
pear. He has published a paper, illus
trated by photographs, in which the
history of seven cases of cancer are
given, four being cases 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 espe-
cially are simply astonishing, The
growths have totally disappeared. The
growth in the esephagus was formerly
so great that the patient could swallow
liquid food only; he can now swallow
chopped meat, bread and hard-Loiled

the town, narrowing the feelings of the
passers-by with their piteous cries, and
fighting with dogs for share of the
refuse of the street; or for hours to-

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

The first anthropological society,
for the study of mankind considered
with reference to the animal history
of the race, was founded in London
in 1868.
The temperature of the suns sur
face is greater than we have anywhere
on the earth. The temperature of the
suns surface has been measured and
determined to be between $4,000 and
10000 degrees Fahrenheit.
Until 1880 the smelling of iron was
always performed with charcoal, nor
was its 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.

library of Lambeth palace there is the

SUFFERERS FROM "FLAT FEET"
How the Breaking Down of the Arch Is
Remedied

Despite the fact that the beauty of Il
well-arched foot is much appreciated
by people of an artistic turn of mind,
has been sung frequently by poets and
versemakers, there has been until late
ly little interest, from a scientific point
of view, taken in it's direct opposite
the flat foot. In great number of in
stances fat feet are the occasion OIL
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 no 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 this
way think that he or she has rheu1na
tism and let it go at that. Until re-
Gently the only remedy was a steel
soled shoe that was clumsy and heavy.
The new device is interesting. 1t is an
.'insole,'' curved to fit the foot, made
of bent strip of steel and acting as a
spring. It is covered either with leath-
err 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 as a sup
port, literally holding up the bones,
and giving them an opportunity to slip
back into their proper places. While
any .insole" of the approximate shape
will give relief, the best results are
reached only when one is especially
made from east or impression of the
foot. A great proportion of the peo-
pie troubled with fiat 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 the Big Beasts Embarked on a
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
consignment of freight is shipped on
the lake boats, and the stevedores do
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 skillful
to climb a rope ladder to the upper
deck. He was sorely disappointed, as
his ambition had always been to haul a
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 whimper. The ele-
phant was then asked to roll on board,
which command was also obeyed
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:
eve got them on board safely by
rolling them down the gangplank, but it
was tight squeeze for the two biggest

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 seen
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 trumpeted
their delight. They looked out at the
broad waste of fseaand 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, felt
somewhat uneasy. He rubbed his pom
derous stomach with his trunk, and de-
livered a shrill trumpeting sound,
which drowned out the sound of the big
whistle. The captain tried to make
dicker for the animal, as he said that
his vocal strength far exceeded the
power of the vessels deep-voiced fog
