drawing upon the resources OF their own
na tural constitutions, often adapt them
selves to the conditions and require
mcnts Of their lives by structural modifi-
cations.
For instance, men make the tools they
require for carving or for digging, insects
grow them; vessels being needed as re-

ants transform themselves into living bot
ties to which the working members Of the
commune resort for refreshment.
The tools OF insects, exquisitely fash
ioned and finished, are much more per-
fectly adapted for the purpose they serve
than are any contriYed and manufactured
By human beings, but there is a disad-
vantage connected with them-they cannot
be laid aside. The tools dominate the tool
bearers and check development in any di-
rectiou not connected with their use
This leads to the extreme specializa-
ton we find among insects. The egg
producer. the queen of the termites, al
though she possesses the usual number
Of limbs belonging to her species, is to-
tally incapable of iocomotlon, as are the
living bottles of the honey annts The

are as Incapable of performing other uses

THE ONIONS PUNGENT oDoR.
Scientific Reasons Given for the Veg
etabIe's Smell.
CFrom the Rural Californian.


It is interesting to make enquiry into
the cause of this unfortunate quality of
the onion. It is simply due to the pres
ence in some quantity of another miner
al matter in the buIb-sulDhur. II Is this
sulphur that gives the onion its germ
killing property and makes the bulb so
very useful a medicinal agent at all
times but especially in the spring, which
used to bc-and still is in many places

Gle in oid-fashioned houses, before sui
phur tablets came into vogue Now sui
phur, when united to hydrogen, one of the
gases of water forms sulphureted hydro
gen and then becomes a fOul-smelling,
Weli-nigh fetid. compound. The onion,
being so juicy. has very large percent
age of water in it's tissues, and this,
combining with the sulphur, forms the
strongly scented and offensive substance
called suIphuret of allyle, which IL found
in all the albums.
This s1lphuret Of allyle rningles more
especially with the volatile or aromatic
oil Of the onion. II is identical with the
malodorant principle found in asafoetlda,
which is almost the symbol Of all smells
The horseradish. so much liked with
roast beef for it's keen aand biting prop

bles both owe their strongly stimulative
prODertieS 10 this same Sulphuret OF allYle,
which gives them heat and acridity, but
not an offensive smell, owing 10 the diff
ferent arrangement Of the atoms OF their
volatile oils.
This brings US to a most curious fact in

ERRORS THAT PAID WELL.
Profitable Mistakes to People who

(From the Chicago Inter-ocean.) }

CFrom the Chicago Inter-ocean)
Mistakes do not always turn out to
work to the detriment of those who make
them. sometimes they are golden and put
a pretty penny in the pocket of the blund-
erers. When Orme won the Eclipse
stakes at Sandown eight years ago the
Prince of Wales sent his friend Mr..
Courthope to lay q bet on a horse called
OTvieto. But Mr. Courthope misunder-
stood the name and placed the Prince s
money on Orme. When Orme came in a
good winner the Prince thought, OF
course. that he had lost instead of which
he had won $4,000
4 lucky mistake was that which result
ed in the opening of the famous NierS-
fOntein goiu mine in South Africa and
the makIng Of $50 000 900. 1t was an error
ma made wealthy many OF them, for the
original intention Of twenty poor men who
were seeking fortune was TO buy mine
called the Rensnek farm The prospectors
who examined this farm found that it
gave great promise Of a rich mine, and
they commissioned an agent to buy it for
S6, coo. The agent, however, got mixed and
made a hopeless blunder, through not
knowing his district well He bought an
other place, called Niersfontein, for the
prospect e rs and the money was paid over
before the dismayed gold-seekers found
they were let in for place they did not
want.
They refused to accept the deal, but
the money had been paid and retraction
was impossible. Worst of all, some out
side people profited by the error and snap
ped I'D the coveted Rensnek-.
Before going to law TO repudiate the
transaction the little company had look
at the desDised Niersfontein place and
on giving trial to 1t, they found II worth
while TO hang on. The other place-the
Rensnek-gave out within a fortnight and
ruined the company which had bought it,
