Insect Urdertakcrc.

Persons who are fond OF walks in tho
country may have wondered why no
trace is ever found of the various small
animals. such as field mice. which die
by the dozens. The reason is that tho
sexton beetle has taken care Of the
tiny dead bodies, When small animal
dues the beetles hurry TO it. They do
no, do good deeds solely through phil
anthrophy, for they get their reward
IN food for themselves besides LAYING
up provender for their families. These
oee'i's nre an inch long and some have
bright orange bands on the wing COW
ers. After satisfying their hunger the
oeetles proceed in very laborious
manner to bury the remains. After
dragging the body to spot OF soft
earth the beetles, using their heads as
spades. dig tunnel around the BODY.
.tnaade this they dig ano Their furrow and
heep ON till the body sinks into the
hole. Then they throw in tina o.rtb

Tho Monk was Interested.

Speaking Of prize fights young
man of Dubuque, Iowa, tells a story
which shows how keen is the interest
felt in all struggles between men for
mastery, whether mental or physical.
A few miles from Dubuque is Trap
pist monastery,one Of the only two in
the United States. These monks are
vowed to perpetual silence and live
the most secluded life imaginable.
One day not long after the Fitzsim-
mons-Corbett fight of March II, 1897,
while the monks were making hay,
this young man visited the monastery
and was being shown around by one
Of the monks whose duty this is, and
who is therefore allowed to talk with
strangers. After while the visitor
strolled through the hay field at some
distance from his guide. A bearded,
grave looking monk made a sign to
him and went behind a hay cock.
The young man stroned carelessly
past and heard deep sepulchral
voice ask the question, "Say. did Jimmy
Corbett lick Fitzsimmons?" The Wis.
itor shook his head and the monk re-
sumed his haying.-Pittsburg Times.

Ingersoll Kept Out OF Delaware.

Robert G. Ingersoll's death recalls
the fact that he always fear I'd to re-.
turn to Delaware, as he was liable to
arrest for utterapces made in a speech
on January 4, 1851. His coming
made great stir IN Wilmington, and
ministers in all the churches implor-
ed their congregations not to listen
to the great agnostic. Despite the
agitation against Ingersol, he had an
audience OF six hundred men when
he lectured, his subject being "What
Shall We Do to Be Saved?"
He gave his views of the various
theological questions, and on the next
Sunday he was scored roundly by
clergymen Of every denomination.
At the February term of court,
Chief Justice Joseph P. Comegys
called the attention of the grand
jury to Col. Ingersoll's lecture, and
quoted the law Of the State making it
a misdemeanor to use language re.
proachful to the Creator. Should
such a lecture be made again the
Chief Justice declared, Colonel In.
gerson should be arrested for BIAS
pheTS, and the grand jury should
return presentment, and in case of
conviction there would be no fear
that the convicted person would not
receive the full penalty OF the law.
The court decided that it would not
be deferred by the sneers of persons
OF opposite faith on by statements
that the right Of free speech would
be disregarded.
lngersol never returned to Della
ware to test the question, but in sew
eral speeches he made uncomphmen-
tary remarks about Delaware, saying
that only clans and oysters lived
there and that they ould get away
il they had legs. Another favorite
remark was that there were three
counties in Delaware at low tide and
only one at high tide.-Boston Tran.

MILITARY JUSTICE.

The justice which one can look fol-
from military authorities is a thing to
amaze. For instance, General Lud-
low took occasion recently to sup.
press paper published at Havana.
Its editor made protest to Secretary
OF War Root that the action of Gener-
al Ludlow was an infringement upon
the rights Of citizenship. The Secrs-
tary referred the whole matter to Gen.
Brooke, who in turn referred it to
General Ludlow. General Ludlow
examined into the case" and made a
report to General Brooke that he ap-
proved General Ludlow. General
Brooke reported to Secretary Root
that he approved General Ludlow;
and now Secretary Root announces
that he approves General Brooke and
dismlsses the whole matter. II the
army officers of the court martial
that recently amazed the world in the
Dreytus case can improve upon that
they are at liberty TO try their hand,

TO STOP BLEEDING.
Another scientinc Discovery which
VIII BE Of Value to the HUI.
man Race.

One of the most difficult of surgical
problems has always been the devising
of means TO stop excessive bleeding
Of patients during operations. The
electric current has been used for sew
eral years, with view to bringing
about that condition of heat which is
necessary in order to cause the blood
to clot and SO act as a block to the
mouth of bleeding vessels, arresting
hemorrhage. .".
This, indeed, has resulted in the utili-
cation of the electric cautery, as it. Is
called, in certain operations, the plati-
mum wire at red or almost white heat
even supplanting the knife, because it
burns through the tissues and at the
same time prevents the wound bleed
ing to any great extent. This effect of
heat was, indeed, known to our ances-
tors, who used red-hot irons or boiling
pitch to scar the surface of the flesh
after their operations, thus causing an
immense amount of suffering to the
patient, before the days of chloro-
form.
A new adaptation of this use of cleo
tricity for the purpose of stopping
bleeding has been devised by inclosing
a platinum wire in pair of forceps or
other instrument, the wire being in
sulated in a bed of burnt pipe clay,
and as soon as the bleeding vessel is
seized by the forceps and compressed
in the ordinary way an electric current
is turned on, whose effect is so great
that the tissues and the walls of the
blood vessels are all nc ulut;natad .o
that'the blood is no longer able to pass.
