WHY HIS GENIUS RESTS.

Miss Gushoyer-Oh, Mr.. Brane-
wrest, do you know l think you have
such a fine mind! And why don't you
go to writing poetry or philosophy so
that others may have the benefit of
your thoughts Men of superior men
tai endowments ought not to keep
their meditations seldshly to them,
selves.
Mr.. Branewrest-I have, indeed,
thought Of that, but my fear is that,
since the world is so full of hooks, It
would be found when my work was
published that | had unknowingly but
gone over the ground already gone
over by others, and so | would be
criticised for plagiarism.-Omaha

insects Have a Moral Sense.

Lord Ayebury, the well known ento-
mologist and zoologist, has declared
his belief, after thirty years study Of
the question, that insects possess intel
ligence and reasoning faculties. He
says their mental processes differ from
ours not so much in kind as in degree
and cites a number of curious instances
which bear upon the mental ability.
reasoning power and moral sense of
insects. For instance with respect to
counting, he says that the female of
certain species of solitary wasps al
ways supplies the cells of her young
with a given quantity Of food. The
cells Of the male wasp babies are sup
piled with victims in the shape of ten
small eaterpillars, while the female
grubs are fed with twenty caterpillars
daily. This difference is due to the
fact that the female grubs are larger
than the male ones, and therefore re-
quire more nourishment, but the actual
number of caterpillars never varies.
Again, with regard TO moral sense,
communities of ants, though in num-
bers nearly as large as the population
OF New York, never quarrel or have
family jars among themselves They
are not very ready to help one another,
but individual acts Of kindness are to
be perceived. One instance came un-
der his notice where a crippled ant
was supported by his relatives fol-
three months. Many eminent zoolo'
gists and entomologists have been OF
the opinion that insects are absolute
automatic; that they weave their nests
and spin their webs as automatically
as they digest their food; but this the
ory is strongly combatted by Lore
Ayebury.

A writer in Nature points out the
advantage that would be gained by
the use Of magnetic iron ore as a mate
rial for concrete blocks. lie points
out that if magnetic is used instead
Of ordinary rock in the shape Of frag-
ments, and magnetic sand of ilmenite
sand instead of common sea sand, CON
crete blocks can be obtained which
have all the strength Of the ordinary
concrete blocks, and which weigh,
when immersed in water, exactly
twice as much as the ordinary blocks.
Such an increase in weight makes the
magnetic blocks far superior as re-
CARDS resistance to the waves. Work
constructed with magnetic blocks will
stand when other work viii be de-
stroyed.

The wild duck, the hawk and the
seagull while in fight over long dis
tances usually remain at an altitude
Of from 600 to 1900 feet. If they pass
below the level of the highest flying
kite of a tandem line the fact is easily
discerned by allowing for perspective.
The kite measurements are relatively
accurate, because during the pro
longed fight of thousands Of wild
ducks the kite string can be hauled in
and paid out until the altitude of the
ducks is exactly measured by the alti-
tude of the kites.

Prophesies Success.

Washington, Oct. 16-''It seems
to me that q Democratic victory is in
the air." said Hon. Stephen Bund-
ridge. member of congress from Ar
kansas, today. "My opinion is that
it will materialize in the near future
in the congressional elections, but if
not then, 1904 will be as memorable as
the year the Democrats swept the
county. The great victory of 1892
will surely be duplicated two years
hence, if not in the present campaign.
1t does not require a high order of in
telligence for any one to see that the
country is getting restless over the
inequalities and exactions of our tariff
system. Strong Republican districts
are showing as great discomfort at
excessive taxation as is found in
Democratic strongholds. The middle
West protests against it and so does
New England. The leaven Of tariff
reform is working all over the
country"
