STRENGTH IN SOME FORM.
The Quality Above All Else That
Woman Admires In Man.

Women abhOr towards and still more
often endure cads in a way that bellies
their intelligence and good taste. They
have quite pathetic desire to look up
to men, to feel men their superiors In
strength of body and of mind, In calm
ness OF judgment and clearness of in
tellect. And it is indeed pity that
men SO often seem to go out of their
way to destroy their most cherished
Illusions.
Above everything a woman admires
strength in man. 1t may be strength
Of b0dy--she will worship a Hercules
with the brain Of a guinea pig. 1t may
be strength of intellect-she will adore
savant with the body of gibboD
monkey. 1t may be strength Of char
acter-she will break her heart for
politician or a financier who Is un,
sWerVinSly wrapped up in dreams of
personal advancement, and who pos.
sesses no more heart than an oyster
But strength in some form she Graves
increasingly. 1t is a hereditary in.
stinct that has been bequeathed to her
through Ewes first disappointment
when Adam was tried in the balance
and found wanting. Woman, secretly
conscious of her own physical weak
ness and lack of intellectual strength
demands strength from man to make
up for her own deficiencies. Even the
strongest women, strong in body and
mind, we'll balanced as Athene herself,
though they may shield and protect
the weakness of the men they love
and stoop to help them, win never do
SO without a secret feeling of contempt
which is destruction of all ideals. Man,
in spite of that deplorable start made
by Adam, was intended to be woman's
protector and refuge from all harm.
upon whom she could lean and rely in
every event of life's pilgrimage, anc
when the roles are reversed, as they
often so unfortunately are, it is a bad
thing both for man and woman.
Strength, however. is what women
love in men.-Lady Colin Campbell.

FISH WITH WINGS AND BEAK
4 Cyrnno de BerGerac In the Ocea8
Has Been Discovered.

HaD Been Uncovered
Flying fish. called by naturalists
"exocGtus," are common sight to all
Voyngers in tropical and subtropical
seas. Their usual length Is from 10 to
IL inches, though one 18 inches long
has recently been described. They are
enabled to execute flying leaps by
their forward or pectoral fms. During
fight the fms are kept quietly distend.
ed, without any motion. Their fight
Is rapid. greatly exceeding that OF q
ship going ten miles an hour. but grad,
0ally decreasing In velocity and rare
ly extending beyond distance Of 500
feet. -
Ahother curious fish Is the halfbeak,
which has an extraordinarily long pro-
tuberance from the end of the lower
jaw. They usually attain a length Of
about foot. OF course they have not
the power of flight as the dying fishes
have. Yet uaturalists considered them
closely related to the flying fish. The
relationship has been fully confirmed
by q unique specimen discovered In the
archaeological collection of the Acade.
NY Of Natural Sciences and named
''Herniexocetus candimaculatus, or
''the half flying fish with spotted
tall" -
This curious creature, although. only
a little over an inch in length, is GER
tainly one Of the most interesting dis
coveries recently made in ichthyology.
1t has a tail and large forward fms
exactly like the flying fish, but its head
Is wholly different, for the lower jaw
is extended into curious beakliks
structure, the mouth being at It's base.
In this respect 1t exactly resembles the
halfb~ak.
Hemiexocptus is therefore an inter
mediate form connecting two impor~
tant groups of fishes. and his advent
upon the ichthyological horizon will no
doubt be hailed with much interest, as
it 10 just such forms as these that are
needed in geological science to bridge
ever gaps In the genealogical history
Of many animate creatures. The speci-

PRECOCIOUS AUTHORS.
Successful Plays That Were Written
by Boys Ina Their Teens.

Was q successful play ever written
by boy of fourteen? asks a CORE
spondent Yes. This seeming miracle
has happened at least three times. The
best known example of the precociOus
playwright is the celebrated Lope de
Ia Vega, the most prolific dramatist
known TO history. He produced his
first play, a comedy, entitled La Pas
tOral de Jacinto," before he had COM
pleted his fourteenth year, and this
was considered such marvellous per-
fOTmance that he is known to this day
in Spanish literature as the Prodigy
of Nature" Another Spaniard and con-
temporary of La Vega, Pedro Calde-
ron, wrote his first play when he was
thirteen. Metastasio wrote his tragedy
"Giustino" and had it produced when
he was fourteen On the stage at 80
logna.
OF English playwrishts Douglas Jer-
rold, the famous author of Black
Eyed Susan" also furnishes an answer
to the question. Ia 1878, before he had
completed his fifteenth year, he wrote
very we'll known farce entitled
More Frightened Than Hurt" 1t was
very successful on the English stage,
and the French considered it good
enough to steal. Curiously enough,
this French translation was retrans-
lated into English and again produced
on the English boards under the title
Of "Fighting by Proxy" Another very
remarkable instance of n different sort
of ptecocity was that of William Hen
ry Ireland, who when he was about
fifteen actually produced some plays
which he attributed 10 Shakespeare
and which, although afterward proved
TO be forgeries, were accepted by the
experts of the time as genuine.--Pcar-
sons Weekly.
Breathing of Insects.
Insects generally breathe through
special pores In various parts of their
bodies, and if these pores are closed by
oil they are suffocated. ANY one may
test this by dropping sweet oil OH the
thorax or back of wasp. 1t very
soon dies. For this reason oil has been
found one OK the best things to use for
the destruction of insects.

The Japanese soldiers in Formosa
have discovered that the bite of the
mosquitoes in that island inoculated
them with malaria. The troops who
occupied Formosa were severely af-
ficted with malaria every summer,
and it was thought, in view of the
new theory of fevers in Europe and
America, that the mosquito was the
active agent in disseminating the dis
ease germs. An experiment was
made last summer to arrive at some
definite conclusion. The Kielun regi-
ment was supplied with appliances
that completely protected the men
from mosquito bites. None of these
soldiers had malaria during the sum
mer. The other troops on the island
however, were afflicted with malarial
diseases, as usual. These had no pro.
lection from the bites of the insects
The government will now furnish all
the Formosa troops with means of
protection, and the result will be
watched with great interest this sum.
