The Sensations Of Insects.

Investigations of the intelligence of
the lower animals are always of deep
interest. We seem to gain some in
sight into our own natures in this
way. DR.. Forel. the celebrated neu-
rologist, has paused from his re-
searches on the diseases of the human
brain to study the nervous systems
and the sensations of ants and bees.
His book has just been printed at
Paris. Some of his results are sum-
married. in what follows. DR.. Forel
concludes, with Muller, that the vision
of insects is in mosaic" That is,
an insect perceives an object like a
mosaic-as II it were made up of bits
separated by dark lines. the lines cor
responding to the edges of the facets
of the insects eye. The image is
usually not sharp, though when the
number of facets is considerable
$4,000 to 10000. the definition is
good. 1t is by sight that flight is
directed. When the eyes are covered
with thin layer of varnish the in
sect is powerless to direct its move

OF touch and almost as If they were

sects find their food and recognize
their companions and their enemies

antennae are cut, however. the differ
ent species are entirely friendly. Ger
tain insects cease to lag eggs the mo-
ment their antennae are cut. They

the egg. DR.. Forel concludes that the
instinct to lay eggs is not destroyed:
the sensorial impression that sets the
instinct at work is no longer opera
tive 1t is his conclusion that insects
have more than instinct; they have
a soul, SO to say, at any rate. a mind
capable of forming judgments. of
choosing. Bees have, for example, an
astonishing memory of localities. In
stinct and automatism are far from
constituting all their mental life.

Clectric HEATING.

For electrical heating, the appara-
tus is simple. being nothing more than
suitable form of resistance, and Its
cost should not be excessive. For con
tinuous heating. the advantage-the
question Of cost not being considered
lies with the electric system.
Considering the final test of the ap-
plicability of any systematic cost OF
operation--we find the reason for the
poor showing, comparatively. of the
electric heating system. When the
question of cost is the deciding one,
electric heating cannot compete wlth
any of the other systems. with the
price for electrical energy at its pres
ent figure. 1t seems evident that the
electric power companies are not try
ing to build up this branch of their
business. Electric heaters may be op-
Grated from a power circuit and sta
tion. But electric heating of buildings
can hardly be considered at this time,
except in very special cases. such. for
instance, as in hospital. where the
cost is small matter compared with
the convenience.
For cooking, however. the intermit-
tent work. a slight concession from
the central stations would result ir 4

Heretofore the most difficult thing
for beginners to acquire in violin
playing has been what is termed
"bowing'-that is, the art of carrying
the bow squarely across the strings
and at right angles thereto, and also
at certain distance from the bridge.
This is absolutely necessary in order
to get the proper tone effect, and un-
til the pupil has acquired the art of
bowling he cannot become an accom-

To Foretell Thunderstorms.

Father Odenbach of St. Ignatius col
lege in Cleveland, Ohio, has invented
an instrument to foretell the coming
principles at the base of wireless teleg-
raphy. The various parts of the ap-
paratus are a relay. a sounder. CO.
herer, choking coil, two batteries, a
recording chronograph and copper
collector on the roof, connected by 4
copper wire with the observatory. A
lightning flash sends out in all direc-
These strike the collector and descend
through the wire to the primary cir
cult of the relay. Their way is blocked
by the choking coil. and. therefore,
they pass in great part through the
coherer. The moment they do so this
tube becomes a conductor for the pri-
mary current; the relay acts and
closes a secondary circuit; the record
ing magnet moves a pen and makes
record; and at the same time the
grounder in the secondary circuit
clicks, shakes the coherer and all is
over until a second distinct flash sends
out a wave to be recorded in the same
manner. The first form of the appara-
tus has been improved by using n
graphite coherer, and records distant

hours before they reach Cleveland 1t

NEW MUS CAL CARDS
GERMAN WHISTLES gy MAIL
Postal Cards Bear Raised Pictures Of
Birds, Beasts or Persons That
Sina or Whistle When Pressed.


IL you should faint whistle about
the time that the letter carrier Is ex-
pected at your door. pay attention to
it, for it may be one of the latest nov
elites in the way of postal cards which
he is squeezing that causes this sibi-
liant sound For the past few years
every steamship arriving from the 9th
er side and carrying mails from Ger
many to this country has had large
number of these postal cards In the
mail bags. They are of German inven-
ton and came here for the first time
this year. They are of the double
folder kind, and in the center of the
rear fold on which may be inscribed
the message there is whistle. By
squeezing it it gives forth sound
which is supposed to come from bird,
a boy or any other figure which may
happen to be on the card.
The card which seems to be the most
numerous In the mails is one on which
there is printed bird raised from the
paper and one side only showing on the
folder. When this is pressed the bird
begins to sing. There is another on
which appears the figure of boy, with
n flute in his mouth. By pressing this
papier mache figure it will also whistle.
On another there is a picture Of a
prima donna, who will send forth notes
If she is pressed to do SO. III she won't
sing. then she will have to be made to
sing by the method which is explained
on the card.
Those of the cards which have been
distributed here have caused no end Of
amusement to the clerks, distributors
and the letter carriers. The first lot
began to arrive about two weeks ago.
and they were mostly from Berlin,
where they are manufactured. Since
then nearly every boat carrying mail
from Germany has brought large
number OF them in the bags.
According to the head mail clerk in
the postohce the folding cards on
which are contained the novelty are
the first which have been received
from the other side. this double folder
having been invented on this side OF
the Atlantic. The novelty of having
the whistle and the figures is distinctly
German invention.
The majority of the cards are direct
ed to New York City to relatives OF the
senders and were meant for Christmas
remembrances. The steamship Kron-
prinz Wilhelm brought large number
of them to the city when she arrived
during the week. The idea is the same
on all of the cards. though the figures
are different, and are made to suit
different occasions.
That they will be copied in this conn-
try is without doubt, as they have al
ready proved very popular from an
amusement point of view with those
who have seen them. though it will
probably be too late to make them In
sufficient numbers for the Christmas
trade.-New York Times.

We are not horse poor-not as some
people are land poor, because they
have to much-but horse poor be-
cause We haven't enough horses.
After the civil war we found our
selves short of horses of the bigger
types and began importing them for
breeding purposes. We imported them
to good purpose and in very large
numbers and greatly improved the
quality of our stock. When electric
ity began to haul street cars the mar
ket for the commoner kind of horses
fell off and farmers didn't breed SO
many. When the automobiles began
to appear and were heralded as ma
chimes that must supersede the use
OF carriage horses the breeders of the
better class of horses took fright.
For years after 1898. too, thousands
of people who wanted horses could
not afford them. But with the return
OF prosperity the demand for good
horses began to grow again and breed
ers bred more of them. But it takes
about five years to raise horse that
is fit for the market and the breeders
got behind. The demand has out

The Niagara Power Tunnel.

For the first time in five years the
great tunnel of the Niagara Falls
Power company was emptied during
the past summer in order that it
might be thoroughly inspected. The
managers wished to know its condi-
ton after 80 100000 cubic feet of
water had rushed through it every
hour for five years. Accordingly the
tunnel was inspected for signs of
wear. Every one of it's 19,0000 900
bricks was in place and perfect. No
signs of wear were found, although
one-thirtieth part of the stream of
Niagara is constantly in use.
