The Future of Our Legs,

Professor Yung of the University OF
fears concerning the future of our
lower limbs. This sage is Of the opin-
ion that within the next Thousand
years human beings will have forgot
ten how to use their legs, and that
these limbs, if evolution will not dc
away with them, will serve as mere
ornaments to the rest of the body.
Professor Yung states that at the
present age human beings show a de-
cided aversion to personal or physical
locomotion, and this is more manifest
every time new automatic travelling
instrument is invented and rendered
practical. Steam, electricity, cable
power and the different velocipede ma
chimes all bear an influence over US
and create a dislike for walking, and
the future generations will likely have
the convenience of Siderable airships
at their windows and electric auto
mobiles at their doors, and these con-
every one can own them, and this
means the doom Of our legs.
The latter will be regarded as super
fluous appendages, no use will be made
of them, and who knows but that they
may disappear altogether? But SO
much more will our arms develop In
length and strength. These are the
cruel laws Of evolution, and 1t will be
due to their FRANKS that future gen.
erations will again resemble the apes.
There will come another epoch Of short
legs and long arms. "a e.,

of this bug is the strong udOr which 1t
exhales whenever disturbed: the odOr
Is similar to tLat Of squash and chinch
bugs of our gardens. The bed bug is
nocturnal in its habits, aud shows
great skill in finding safe places for
its retreat from the light of daytime,
generally frequenting buildings that
are old. and therefore full of cracks
and C~rannies. and is also found in
houses that are uncleaned. with rags
and clothes lying around and not often
disturbed. The Old-fashiOned wooden
beds furnished prime hiding places.
but the modern iron Il brass bed
steads are almost proof against the
pest. Although the insect seems to
favor human blood, 1t does not require
It. as it has been known to subsist on
the juices of the wood which it hides
IN and on the dust and lime that it
finds in the holes in the walls and
floors. The bugs bites are not poison

related. says the st. Louis Globe
Democrat: Here is a sensation. a

bals), who were brought to Upolo to
work on the German plantations at
Nailele, escaped from Upolu. built a
rude raft of logs. n drifted by wind
and a over seventy miles Of I'M
known sea to Tutuila. Here they
lived for a time in a mountain retreat.
One was shortly afterward killed by
the Samoans and some time after this
happened the remaining two parted
company and never again met. a
week ago, on a mountainside, over
hanging Laulu. in an almost inacces-
sible fastness, a wandering Samoan
found a banana patch. a small taro
field. and a rude hut and caught the
glimpse of a man as he disappeared
up the mountainside. A party was
organized. which destroyed the plants
