ing on them and especially with
the object of ascertaining to- what extent
motions are made by a body after the
head has been separated from it, Signor
Canestrini, an Italian scientist, thought
that it would be worth while to make
similar experiments on insects, and for
several months he has been devoting his
attention to this work
Collecting number of insects, he cut
eff their heads and then carefully noted
what took place in each case. Some of
the insects made no voluntary motion
after being decapitated, but when touch
ed or pinched gave every sign of life.
The crickets remained on their feet in a
most of the other victims rolled over at
once on their backs. Lively insects, like
bees and ants, remained almost COM
pletely motionless after they had been de-
capitated, and not until some time had
elapsed did they seem to 'realize" that
they had lost their heads.
The most surprising fact, however, is
that Signor Canestrini saw butterflies fly
eighteen days and a few crickets jump
thirteen days after decapitation and he
even says that the insect known as man

days after it's head had been removed.

A -MONG the few inteigible utterances made by

L is due to him that $4,000 has been saved to
the city treasury The claim has been repeated by
Mr. Samuel Shortridge, who in speech at Metro

ooo The Board of Supervisors sought in
every way to secure the money, which had been set
aside for the payment of interest and bonds the final

It was Asa R. Wells He the watchdog of the treas

bodies after decapitation:
DURATION OF THE MOVEMENTS.

From this table it appears that the
movements of the head are always of
shorter duration than those of the body
In some insects. says Signor Canes
trini, the head and body remain extreme
ly sensitive up to the last instant of life
A cricket, if lightly touched. will raise
itself irnmedia tely, and, if touched more
than once, will jump about. That the
head is still alive is shown by the move
ments of the antennae. moist and con-
genial temperature tends to preserve the
softness and vitality of the head and
body, whereas a dry and warm temper
Gture soon makes them rigid, fragile and
insensible. This is most clearly seen in
the case of crickets and grasshoppers
for, If these insects are decapitated in
cold weather and are then placed in
moist ground they will live much longer
than they would if they had been decap-
itated in warm weather and had then
been placed IN dry ground.

WRITES WHILE ASLEEP

One of the most remarkable and puz-
zling stories of somnambulism is that
which recently came to light in connection
with young clergyman at a training
college in New York, who was found to be
in the habit of writing his sermons while
fast asleep. The young man would get
out of bed, secure paper, and compose and
write his sermons. On finishing a page he
would read it out, when word displeased
him he would write correction with
great exactness. These somnambulistic
sermons were well composed and correctly
written. Curious to ascertain whether
the young man made use of his eyes. the
principal of the college put card under
his chin to prevent him seeing the paper.
but he still continued to write.
Not yet satisfied whether or not de
could distinguish different objects placed
before him, the principal took away the
piece of paper on which he wrote and
substituted several other kinds, at diff
ferent times, of various cofors. He always
perceived the change, because the pieces
of paper were of different sizes. When a
piece exactly like his own was substituted
he used it, and wrote his corrections on
the places corresponding to those of lis
own paper. 1t was by this means that
portions of his nocturnal compositions
were obtained.
His most astonishing production was a
piece of music written with great exacti-
tude. He used a cane for a ruler. The
clefs, the flats and the sharps were all
in their right places. The notes were all
made as circles, and those requiring il
were afterward blackened with ink The
words were all written below, but once

Booker T. Washington's dinner with President
Roosevelt has set the people of Washington to
searching for precedents with the result that we have
stories Of Lincoln inviting Frederick Douglass to
lunch and OF Jefferson inviting negro mathema-
tician named Banneker to dine with him at the White
House, which Banneker did. The most curious story
OF all, however, is the effect that year or so
ago Representative Sprague of Massachusetts, invited
his colleagues of the District of Columbia Committee
to dine with him, and the invitation included Mr.
White, the negro Representative from North Caro-
lima. When the invitation of the coored man became
known every other member of the committee sent his
regrets OF previous engagement and the
dinner didn't take place.
