The Saving Sense of Humor.

Some of the worlds greatest humor-
lists unite with that sprightly gift n
deep tenderness and broad sympathy.
Their lips smile at n spectacle of the
absurd ut the same instant that their
eyes overflow in recognizing the pathOs
that is it's so frequent accompaniment.
1t is this quick perception of situa-
ton as a whole. this power TO see all
its aspects at once, that gives us just
judgments tempered by mercy. severity
lined with leniency, that acts rs Il saw
ing grace to culprits.
The world would be better and hap
pier If every one in it who is invested
with authority over his fellows had
this peculiar sympathy with wit, which
makes it impossible for one to be q
bigot and tyrant. Humor and cruel
~ do not go together, although there
is a kind of counterfeit humor, some
times mistaken for the real thing,
which is essentially oppressive. be-
cause 1t. finds enjoyment in looking
upon that which is at the same time
grotesque and horrible. But this is
far removed from the gentle humor
which mellows their judgments and

THE DESTRUCTIVE TEREDo.
Curious and Fragile Worm That
Digs Tunnels In Timber.

Digs Tunnels In Timber.
1t was in 1881 that Holland narrow
ly escaped inundation along its coast
because the timbers of the sea bikes
in many parts were discovered to be
quite unsound. The timely discovery
of the real condition of the bikes saved
the country from an awful catastrophe,
the full extent of which was COM
pretended by only a few Dutchmen.
The timbers had been honeycombed
by the teredo, or shipworm. This
creature burrows into any wood i'm
mersed i'll sea water. 1t makes an en-
trance when young and digs channels
along the grain of the wood, living
and often dying i'll the timber. The
worm grows in some localities to Il
length of twelve inches, its girth be-
ing one and n half inches. and the
curious thing about its whiplike body
is it's exceeding tenderness. 1t cannot
bear it's own weight. 1t will break IL
subjected TO any strain.
1t will burrow straight along the
grain of the wood unless turned aside
by a knot or nail, and, no matter how
many of these worms may be burrOw-
ing in the same piece of wood, they
never run their channels into one an
other. BY some marvellous instinct
they keep clear of each others pre-
section of Il log eighteen inches in
diameter, and we counted no fewer
than 800 distinct burrows.
