A boy who was required to write an
essay on hens produced the following:
"Hens is curious animals. They don't
have no nose NOR no teeth nor no ears.
They swallow their whittles whole and
chew II up in their crops inside Of 'em.
The outside OF hens is generally put in
TO pliers and into feather busters. The
inside Of a hen is sometimes filled with
marbles and shirt buttons and sich. A
hen is very much smaller than a good
many other animals, but they'll dig up
more tomato plants than anything that
amt hen. Hens is very useful TO lay
eggs for plum puddings. Hens have
got wings and can fly when they get
frightened. I cut OF a hens heed with
a hatchet, and 1t frightened her to
death"

Recent estimation places the number
Of deaf mutes in the world at more

human beings, living life which a

PHOSPHORESCENCE.
Animal and Vegetable Light Rank
Among Nnture's Mysterir-

Animal phosphoreScence Is one of the |
most surprising and least understood
Of natures phenomena. The pale, blu
ish white light of the glowworn has
been found by naturalists to be de-
pendent upon the motion OF the insects

that the phosphorcscence depends upon
some ncrvons action. regulated at pleas

rubbed with IT,, luminous streaks like
those produced by phosphorus will ap-
pear. They shine more brightly In oxy
gen gas and in nitrous acid.
The power of emitting luminous rays
belongs TO several varieties of fly and
three species OF beetle OF the genus
elater. One Of the most brilliant Of
these is The great lsniern sy of Sonih

where they illuminate the darkness in
n most remarkable manner.
In some OF the bogs OF Ireland lives
a worm which gives out n bright green
light. n fitting color for the Emerald
Isle. There are many other kinds OF
insects which become luminous In the
dark.
Yet there are many curious instances
OF phosphorescence In dead animals
and vegetable matter. the lobster
among crustaceans, the whiting among
fishes and decayed wood being striking
| examples. Their emission OF light
seems TO depend, however. not upon
| putrefaction. for as this progresses
their luminosity diminishes, but upon
| certain unknown atmospheric condi-
tions. This phosphorescence OF decayed
matter has been regarded as somewhat
different from the slow combustion OF
phosphorus. but upon examination all
the chemical conditions are found TO pc
| the same.

actly the same as that possessed by
