The rhouahts Of lnsccts.

Insects think as truly as men do. al
though not, of course, on the same
scale. This is the belief of NJ. Forcl
a French ncurologist, who has been
making observations uf ants and bees
for relaxation. He thinks that be.
tween the ideas of the naturalist who
regards insects as mere automatons
and those of the mau who treats them
as if they had human intelligence.
there is a happy medium of common
sense. and this he has tried to attain.
His observations teach him that al.
though most of the acts of insects can
be explained by instinct. tlere re.
main what he calls small plastic
Judgments by which they avoid diff.
fculties and steer their way between
dangers. The directive faculty Of bees
especially, and their wonderful mem
ory for places, can hardly be explained
on the theory of automatism.

How a Great suroecn Dice.

While Bichat. the famous surgeon
was dying of typhoid fever he turned
to an old colleague who was sitting be
side his bed and said to him:
My friend. | am lost, but it is some
consolation to know that my case is
very curious. During the last few days
have noticed some odd symptoms
and | am studying them carefully"
"oh, you may recover yet" said the
friend
That is impossible" replied Bichat
and If 1t were not for one thing |
would be quite willing to die"
What is that?" asked the friend
I am exceedingly sorry" answered
Bichat, that | shall not have an on
portunlty TO perform an autopsy on
myself after my death, for know thai
l would make some wonderful scienti
fic discovery"
An hour later he was dead.-New

Travelling in Portuguese Africa Is
thus described by a recent writer:
"As soon as one gets into the interior
there is an absence Of roads and a
great paucity of government military
stations or trading posts. The coun.
try is slightly policed. The conse.
quence is that the negro bearer who
carries his rubber, has a long, dan.
gerous, difficult journey and is robbed
of a portion of his stock from time
to time; and when he returns to his
village if his chief be informed that
there is smallpox on the coast he is
likely to be summarily shot by his
own people. They have simple but
very effective quarantine methods
among the natives in Africa"

rurnentine Industry noom.tl.

1t has lately become evident that
the turpentine and rosin industry is
doomed to extinction before many
years if the present ruthless methods
are continued. The pines from which
the turpentine is boxed" or tapped
die in about three years, and as even
the younger trees are now sacrificed.
for the sake of the immediate profit.
the turpentine forests are not being
renewed, but are being rapidly dis.
placed by scrub oak and other second
growth. The center of the turpentine
industry has been gradually moving
south as the forests have been ex.
hausted and it is now in Florida.
When Florida trees are all used up
turpentine and rosin will become
scarce articles.
