SCIENTIFIC DATA.

The male mosquitoes do not bite, but
live on the juices of flowers and plants.
In the pupa state the Hessian fly can
scarcely be distinguished from a flax
seed.
The gSeater part of the earth's
crust, the water and the air, consists of
but few elements. Oxygen forms one
half by weight, silicon a quarter:
aluminium, iron, calcium, magnesium.
sodium and potassium form % per
cent, leaving about two per cent. for
all the other elements.
One of the chief governing instincts
among wild birds is the sense of fear.
This feeling of fear is not apparent in
birds until ten or twelve days after
birth. All perching birds acquire the
instinct of fear at from eight to ten
days after birth, and this instinct be-
comes the controlling factor in the sub
sequent experiences Of the bird, being
either lessened or increased by cir
cumstances.

CHANGES OF A CENTURY.

In 1900 there were four large cities;
to-day there are 159.
In 1900 only per cent. of the people
of the United States lived in cities. To-
day 80 per cent. live in cities.
Within the century the population OF
the werld has doubled. The population
of the United States has been multi
piled by Il.

There were in the whole United
States century ago 1909, o37 negroes,
whereas the number of them to-day is
about 100000. Though they have
multiplied so largely, the proportion
they bear to the white population is
only about two-thirds what it was in
1900.

UNIQUE TITLES OF RAILROADS

A Texas road, the Kansas City,

Ksysee, cutting off the last part of
it. Sap is short and sweet. 1t has
been contracted from S. A. p, mean
ing San Antonio & Arkansas Pass,
one of the principal lines in Texas.
Because a little road up in Nova
Scotia with the ponderous title of
the Dominion e. Atlantic reached the
land made famous in Longfellow's
poem tourists have given it the title
of the Evangeline road, and perhaps
this is more appropriate than the
other. 1t is certainly more pictur-
esque.
Down in Texas and the neighbor-
ing states they have a habit of
handling the railroads without gloves
when it comes to giving names. A
favorite plan is to take the princi-
pal initials of a road and spell them
out. Only a native of the southwest
ern ranches would know that Pee
Gee stands for the Kansas City, Pitts
burg & Gulf road.
A little road in Mississippi. the
Chester, Perryville, Sainte Genevieve
& Pennington, has the longest title
of any in America. This contains no
fewer than 43 letters, but two other
lines are close TO it, the Richmond,
Nicholasville, Irvine g. Beattyville

Indian Territory. The Chester line
