Katydids, grasskoppers, locusts,

Beetles exhibit a wonderful Instinct
in caring for their helpless young.
Among a certain species the eggs are
rolled in balls of material suitable for
food. The balls are packed away in a
nest to await the voracious appetites of
the infant beetle that -must eat its way
out. The burying or sexton beetles de-
post their eggs in the bodies of dead
birds or field mice. They then set to
work and perform the proper rites OF
burial, heaping the earth over the body
of the dead. The young beetle Matched

Butterflies and moths are victims of

as aids in cross fertilization.

musical, the dramatic is not dominant,
and I think that those who love the
tuneful will not altogether be disap-
pointed. Now there is ballet in the
first act, and of course ballet must
be dansant-wild dances like the csar-

OUR PHILIPPINE POLICY.
Continued Discussion In the Senate
without Action.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-During al
most the entire morning hour Yesterday
the senate had under discussion the
policy of this country to be pursued in
the Philippine Islands. Mr.. Berry of
Arkansas, in a speech upon the resolu-
ton offered by MIR. Vest, discussed the
policy of expansion without a refer
ence to the constitutional point involv-
ed in the Vest resolution. He spoke
from notes. stating with force and en-
phasis his objections to the pending
treaty of peace. He declared that he
would never vote to place upon any
people a policy against which Lee
fought and against which Jackson gave
up his life.
An attempt by Mr.. Bacon of Georgia
to secure a Vote upon his resolution.
which in brief declares that the United
States government will not make war
upon people seeking for their freedom,
precipitated lively debate, which was
participated in Ivy Mr.. Plat of Con-
necticut and Nh. Teller of Colorado.
MIR. Bacon declared he would not vote
for the treaty unless some such dec
laration was adopted by congress. To
this MIR. Plat took exception and de-
livered forceful speech. in which he
carefully analysed the situation which
confronts this country in the Philip
pines. No action on the resolutions
was taken.

.SNyindIers CAPTURED.

SUNBURY. Pa, Feb. 1.-Two alleged
swindlers who had been. unsuccessfully
chased by detectives through New York
and New Jersey We're captured here
yesterday afternoon. They gave their
names as NJ. Meyer and Charles Bara-
ban of New York. The arrest was made
by j. w. Crossley manager, and o. G.
Hill. representative of the Liggett &
Meyers Tobacco company of st. Louis.
The allegation is that the men had rep
resented themselves to be agents for
that company and had induced mer-
chants throughout the middle states to
lay in large stocks of cigarettes, offer
ing mirrors as premiums and promising
each purchaser that an additional mir
ror would be furnished by the company
for every % labels forwarded to it. The
men admitted their guilt and were lock-

but that neither Comte Esterhazy nor
Lieutenant Colonel Henry could answer
to the culpability revealed by the Sc

more significant in that it is made by a
Dreyfus paper. The Liberte adds:
THE dependency of the Dreyfus party
seems to SHOW that the solution Of the
problem IS as distant as ever. Another
feature of the situation is the buoyant
demeanor of Comte Esterhazy."
