In the very oldest fossil bearing rocks
no insects are found. The very Oldest
fossil Is a kind Of polyp. making reefs
Of limestone when as yet the insects
had not appeared, and 1t "flourished"
In Canada.
The first insect known to have exist
ed, a creature of SUCH vast antiquity
that 1t deserves all the respect which
the parvenu man can summon and Of
fer to 1t, was-a cockroach. This, the
father OF all black beetles, probably
walked on the earth In solitary magnifi-
cence when not only kitchens, but even
kitchen middens were undreamed of,
possibly millions of years before neo-
llthic man had even back cave to of
fer, with the remains Of last nights
supper, for the cOckroach of the period
to enjoy. His discovery established the
fact that in the silurian period there
were insects. though, as the only piece
of his remains found was a wing, there
has been room for dispute as to the ex-
act species.
Mr. Goss in his preface to the second
edition of his book notes says that
what Is probably a still older insect has
been found In the lower silurian In
Sweden. This was not a cockroach, but

The hoofed animals. like the horse
and the stag, have, strictly speaking,
no feet, for they walk on their nails,
and their feet have become part of their
legs The advantage seems to be n
lengthenlng OF the stride, just as a
trained athlete learns to run on his toes
to increase his pace There Is also the
further advantage Of no soft part to
be injured by contact with the ground.
Some monkeys have four hands, which
must be n great advantage in climbing.
The absence of legs as well as feet is
an advantage to many animals that
have to travel rapidly through the
water or between the branches of trees
or other Instructions.
Legs would be but an obstruction to
the tadpole while he swims by means
of his powerful tail, but when he
leaves the water legs and feet become
an advantage. So the snake is able
to creep through underwood and into
small holes with far greater ease with
out legs. and even the slow worm
which seems such helpless animal on
fiat ground, can creep through hedge
with remarkable ease and speed The
rudiments of legs are to be found In
many snakes, so that there can be but
little doubt that the absence of legs
has proved an advantage and that
natural selection has removed them.

A woman with small income and
an inventive mind is never quite cor
nered, as is shown by an incident
which occurred lately in a nearby
town.
Friends were coming Unexpectedly to
luncheon when the housewife remem-
bered there was nothing in the house
that would do for centerpiece, says
the Philadelphia Press.
Then she thought of an old silver
caster, slowed away In the attic II
had six compartments and a handle
all Of which were easily removed, and
then the rest was cleaned to a state of
brilliant elegance.
From the woods were brought ferns
and berries. with their green vines
These were arranged in three tiny
pots.

Since Nell Gwynn has crossed from
the English stage to American boards
and is likely to be presented to us by
several actresses before the new year
is old perhaps 1t may be interesting to
read some of the gossip as to how her
wonderful color was produced.
The singular beauty of the women of
the valleys IF the Wye and its tribu-
taries is said to be due to the drinking
of cider. The loneliness of these wo-
men is less that of outline than of
coloring. Compilations both transpar-
ent and brilliant add luster to an ex-
preston alike happy and mirthful,
while the bright hue of cheeks and
lips, free from all coarseness, Is pecul-
iarly enhanced by radiant eyes. These
results are claimed to spring from the
use of the finest cider, which is the
sole beverage of the district. The
beauty which Fascinated Charles ii
was, 1t Is said. due to this cider, for
Nell Gwynn was a Mercian.-Philadel-
phia Ledger.

sharp SentineIs on Deck.

A wise man will take the weapon at
his hand even If 1t is not the conven-
tional one. So thought Captain Slo-
made voyage alone around the world
and met many good friends and singu-
lar enemies. This is his description of
one comic happening which might have
ended in tragedy. He says:
| discovered, as she sailed along
through a labyrinth of islands, that she
was In the Cockburn channel, which
leads into the strait of Magellan at n
point opposite Cape Froward, and that
she was passing Thieves bay. sug-
gestively named. That night she lay
at anchor In snug cove at the Turn.
| now became jaded and worn from
my previous battling with danger and
rough weather, and as drowsness
came on l sprinkled the deck with
tacks, for 1t is we'll known that one
cannot step on q tack without saying
something about 1t. A pretty good
Christian will whistle when he meets
the commercial end of q carpet tack; a
savage will howl and claw the air.
That was just what happened that
night at IL o'clock when the savages
thought they had me, sloop and all,
until they stepped on deck. Then they
learned that l had them.
They howled like a pack of hounds
and jumped pellmell, some into their
canoes, others into the sea to cool off.
| fired several guns when l came on
deck to let the rascals know that |
was at home, and then l turned in
again, feeling sure l should not be dis
turbed by people who left in so great
a hurry.

In the largest room of the suit OF
