and hands.
l once heard jocular doctor threat
en- to amputate a patient in the middle
Of his back Such a radical operation
would probably have debarred the sub
ject Of il from violent athletic pursuits
for the rest of his life. An earthworm
thinks nothing of being taken Off in the
middle Of the back by the spade Of an
unsuspecting or malicious gardener,
but simply rests as a private patient
for a month or two and then comes
out with a brand new tail. Even the
loss Of the other end does not trouble
the interesting creature which Darwin
raised from the status Of pest to the
honorable rank of one of the worlds
benefactors.
Most people lose their heads, meta
phorically, at times, but when those
ornamental appendages are literally
Off no fresh heads take their place. A
worm, on the contrary, has been known
to grow new brain as well as the
more humdrum but useful mouth and
throat in the course Of a couple Of
months.
That mixed multitude" Of animals
classed together by naturalists as mol
lusks, which include the lie abed oys-
ter and the wideawake cuttlefsh, con-
tains also the snail, far famed for its
marvellous speed, its habits OF evading
the ground landlord by carrying its
house on its shoulders and for its abil-
ity to open new eyes should the orig
inals be permanently darkened. The
eyes, as is we'll known, are carried at
the ends Of two horns and can be pull
ed in OF thrust out with more than
mechanical ease and precision. If the
eyes are lost by any accident, the life
which pervades the creature, beginning
from the mere stumps, builds up the
optic nerves afresh, furnishes them
with appropriate cases and places ac-
curately constructed lenses at the ends.
In the case of a human being who
has lost his eyes the ophthalmist has
nothing more practical to do than to
send in his bill. and the optician is re
duced to the construction Of glass eyes
or some other appliance to hide the de-
formity, whereas the snail, treated In
the ophthalrnic hospital Of nature,
grows new eyes and goes merrily but
sedately to his revels on a tender cab
bage leaf under the moon.

uuently found minus a foot or one Of
their antenns. This is probably due to
the fact that most insects emerge sud
denly into the mature form when
growth practically ceases, and it is in
the immature stage that uncommon
growth is most marked.
Two insects, however, which grow
from Larvae to perfect individuals with
out any great change a form are able
to replace lost antenn9 or legs. Ear
wigs begin life with antenne Of eight
joints each and by subdivision increas'
the joints to fourteen. The antenna
are brittle, and joints frequently breah
off, but are readily replaced, the dis
turbance arising from the fracture Of
ten producing variation from the usu

eoIors, though the expression 'lights Of
primary colors" is admissible, for 1t is
commonly imagined that the blue and
yellow mixed in certain proportions
produce various kinds of green. If
yellow and blue pigments be mixed to-
gether with water. the green color
produced is not a mixture Of blue and
yellow colors. 1t is the one color which
is not freely absorbed either by the
yellow or by the blue pigment. The
yellow pigment removes the greater
part of the blue, indigo and violet rays;
the blue pigment removes the greater
part of the red, orange and yellow.

Liked one Legged Wives.

The late Augustus Hare tells Of a
one legged woman who became the
third wife of a prosperous widower.
One day while searching the closets
she came upon two cork legs, each la
beled with the name of different wo-
man. In fear and rage she went
among the relatives of her husband
asking questions. But they pacihed her
by saying that both his first and sec
ond wives had also been obliged to
wear an artificial limb and that the
husbands married life in each case had
been so happy that he had sworn new
er to marry any but a one legged wo-
man

nIrorce In Turkey.

A woman in the sultan's realm when
divorced from her husband is not
treated with oontumely and often mar
ries again. A husband simply says to
his wife, 'I have divorced you" She
leaves him, and he tells the same to
the cadi, who gives to him a paper of
written enforcement. If it is the first
or second time that this has occurred
he may take her back again without
any formality ensuing, but after a
third divorce she will be lost to him
forever. Men abuse this license and
sometimes divorce their wives for a
very small fault, like a bad dinner OF
a button unsewed, each knowing that
If he repents he can have his wife back
before evening 1t is not uncommon
that a wife is divorced from five hus.

Scholar, Gentleman, Soldier"
If the general does not take very
enthusiastically to wine, women and
carries about him the reputation of
being simple to the point of rugged
ness, it must not be forgotten that he
has never been recreant to the old
ideal of the samurai. He is a scholar

governor general of Formosa. The
work accomplished when the general
returned home, the men who knew
what the Formosa of scarce ten years
ago was, marveled at the miracle
wrought by the genius of Nogi. If
there be any colonial power in the
world who could teach a few things |
to Gen. Nogi to his profit they have
not given as yet the slightest sign of |
their ability.
On the historic 9th of June, 1904,

company were promoted, Nogi was
given the full rank of general.
