or are active until shutdown. This arises
from the prolonged activity of the tail,
due to the reflex action of the caudal
nerve centers. which may continue for
a longer or shorter period owing to tenn
perature and other conditions. Many
persons believe that there. is a glass
snake Or joint snake. which may be
broken to fragments when struck, but
can re1oint itself and live. This may
come from the fact that a certain liz
ard (Ophiosaurus ventralis) readily loses
its tail, and while the body escapes the
caudal member wiggles and attracts
the attention Of the pursuer.
The idea that turtles
breathe under water. as do fishes. is de
rived from the observations Of their
having remained submerged for some
hours. But this is made possible by
/ their lung capacity, their limited need
Of oxygen compared with that of warm
blOoded animals and their ability to
store oxygen in their tissues and use IL
as needed.
Both species of American cuckOOH

to the popul1r belief. The error comes
from the fact that the European

Most persons believe that owls. cats
and other nocturnal animals can see
III absolute darkness. This error arises
from the facr that in these animals the
pupil Of the eye Is very large or dilata-
BILE, and in subdued or very feeble
light they cal see much better than
can man. One car readily demonstrate
the fallacy Of the supposition by TAX
ing an owl or other nocturnal animal
into a perfectly dark room. as we have
done, and touching it with the hand.
1t does not mOve, ever though it be an
untamed animal. Cats and other noe
turnal animals are enormously thought
to emit light from their eyes because
when looking toward the light the
crystalline lens of the eye produces a
glazing reflection. The ideas that swans
sing when dying and mOles open their
eyes ut the zine Of death are handed
down from the writings of Pliny and
represent ignorance Of the facts OF
zoology.
We were once seriously asked by u

1t is commonly believed that toads
cause warts. This is based upon the
following combination of facts: loads
are the only common animals that are
naturally covered with wartlike Jumps.
They eject a clear liquid. This Is sup
posed to do something. Warts appear
mysteriOusly, and no one is able to ex-
plain the causes of. their coming and
going. 1t Is enormously inferred that
they are produced by this wart bear
Ing, nocturnal creature with peculiar
habits, upon the basis Of the doctrine
that like produces like" The COM
mon belief that tadpoles shed their
tails has for its origin the facts that
while living In water each possesses a
swimming tail, but when 1t metamor-
phoses into a frog or a toad it becomes
tailless. In fact, the tail does not
drop on, but 1t is absorbed and disap-
pears In the body, just as a swelling
from a bump on the head disappears.
How often do we hear that frogs and
tOads have fallen with rain. and almost
every July we may read accounts Of
such phenomena. These may have for
their basis the fact that during the
month of July tOads change from the
tadpole stage and aquatic habitat to
the adult form and terrestrial habitat
and then migrate landward in great
numbers. They are active only at
night or during hot weather. effectual-

However. when Il rain falls at such a

There are doubtless more supersti.
tons concerning snakes than any other
creatures. This arises in part from the
traditions Of the form of the original
tempter and in part from the fact that
but very few persons are willing to
calmly observe serpents for themselves
and learn the truth directly. We have
met persons who believe that all snakes
are This doubtless comes
from the old Roman rule, "Ab uno disco
Omnes." How prevalent is the belief
that horse hairs turf to snakes. There
is no other foundation for this errol
than the resemblance of the SO called
hairsnake (gordius) to a common horse
hair. Snakes are often supposed t.
charm birds. but the fact is that tn

The common erroneous belief tina
snakes sting or bite by means of thei
tongues may come from the Scripture
quotation, ut stingeth like an adder.
The suppositiOn that snakes bite them

the actions Of certain species. like tn

which has been hard to explain.
Money has left the metropolis in large
quantities and 1t is slow in coming
back. A large amount of it will not
return. Investigation shows that mil
lions of dollars have been sent West
for investment in farm lands.
THE era of cheap grain, in my opin-
ion. will never return. Demand in
agriculture has caught up with the sup
ply. Nature is restoring the equilibri-
um between the agricultural and the
non-agricultural classes. The golden
stream that mas been pouring into New
York has, like the tickle Missouri
changed its course and is o rushing
back to the West where 1t had its
source. Money that has been leaving
the country's financial capital does not
return with the freedom it once did.
Over capitalized companies once at
tracted the nations wealth-the tide
has turned, and the flow Westward
to profitable investment in farm lands
is growing fast in volume.
City and Country Wealth.
This is the dawn of the farmers
day. a struggle between the urban and
the rural population of the country is
in the initiative. In population the
elements are about equally divided.
While they are half and half numer-
ically. in wealth there is the widest
divergence. The total wealth of the
country is estimated at $S5. OOO, 900. 900.
OF this but 500, 600, OOO, 900 are in the
hands of the rural population, or less

not always exist. Prior to the Civil
wal wealth was m~easurably about
equally divided. The separation be-
gan with the imposition of the high
tariff and the adoption of the land
grant system, which in almost one
generation developed an area equal to
productive capacity to that which re-
quired in the East several centuries to
produce.
"The n made the farmer buy at
the highest prices. while the other
made him sell at the lowest. Millions
OF acres of cheap land in a few years
began furnishing the world bread

every acre Of Eastern farm land was
correspondingly impaired and cheap

Ody OF cheap Lands Ending.
Year after year. however. the land
was rapidly taken up. Eventually the
entire supply was exhausted. With
this exhaustion there came a slow but
gradual rise in the price of cereals. |

Grain will remain high: the
farmer will take the place in the world
for which he was destined and which
he once did occupy. The prices of
agricultural products will never again
fall to the low level Of a few years
ago. Capitalists aware OF the situa.
ton are now reaching out to buy farm
lands. They know there is no safer
or better investment. Land cannot

Prof. Lauder is without question one of the finest pianists in America and not only is he musician but he also possesses a rare amount of literary ability and his recitals are therefore q treat of a double nature.
