Billions of Living Things That Swarm
on the Globe.
Few persons ever consider the .enor-
nous amount of life other than hui
man which exists the world over. In
populOus London, for instance. there
are three times as many rats as peo-
pie, and three times as many sparrows
as rats. Cultivated country districts
in England are said to contain from
700 to 1000 birds to the square mile.
AS for the insect population, that is
quite beyond any statistician to figure
out; hut the fact that each bird GER
tainly consumes on an average fifty
insects a day may give the person who
tries to imagine it some faint idea of
the terrible figures needed to express
it. The insect population of a single
cherry tree infested with aphides was
calculated by an authority at 12,00o,-
900.
M. Yung, a French entomologist. has
killed the ants in five hills by means
OF a. poisonous gas; and undertaken
the prodigious labor of counting the
dead. The results, beginning from
the smallest hill, were, respectively.
as follows: Seventeen thousand eight
hundred and twenty-eight, 1898, 53,.

Sleeping Berth Attachment.

which ever way they settle it, the one
who has the upper berth would have
a troublesome time getting into it but
for the little step ladders which the
transportation company provides. It is
to do away with this ladder, and at the
same time provide a rail which shall

Pathos of Dying Rose.

And how l dread the minutes as they

My petals are all withered, dying, dead;
Ny youthful hopes I've seen. like

And. one by one, my dear companions
fed.
And left me with dried and empty
heart.
When first the sun-god kissed my blush
ing lips,
My newborn soul was drenched with
airy wine;
And when she touched me with her fin
gers tips
Life, laughter, love and paradise were
But, ah! she never plucked me from my
stem;
She passed, and have watched for her
in vain.
I thought her breast would be my dia-
dem,
And the beating of her heart my life's
refrain.

They never grew to oaks to kiss th5
breeze:
They fioated far away on dreamy
streams
My. loves were only butterflies and
bees.
The butterflies caressed and kissed and
flew
TO tell some younger rose of what they
stole:
The bees sucked from my heart its
youthful dew,
And every drop of nectar from my
soul.
Tonight the winds will blow my heart
away
In countless particles Of scentless dust
Tonight the winds will blow away to-

In alleyways of yesterdays to rust
