THE SURVIVAL OF ANIMALS
How the Various Species Manage to
Escape determination by Nat
ural Enemies.

How is the balance Of life on the
globe maintained? Why have not spe-
cies exterminated species? Why have
not the birds exterminated the insects,
and the hawks and owls exterminsted
the birds7 Because the insects are so
much more prolific than the hawks and
owls. The hawks and owls are also
more restricted as to food. The more
adaptive an animal is the greater are
the chances Of surviving, writes John
Burroughs, in Outing. II wolves and
foxes could browse like deer and sheep
and rabbits. they would be as numerous
as these latter species.
The potato bug has unduly increased
in the east because its food is abundant
and its enemies have not appeared. The
forest worms threatened to destroy the
maple woods Of some sections till its
enemy, the ichneumon fly, appeared.
Rabbits have increased unduly in Aus
tralia because their natural enemies
have not kept pace.

TALE OF A TICKLE SAILOR.
Used as an Example to illustrate the
Instability Of Pol
itician.

Mayor Weaver, Of the awakened city
of philadelphia, was talking to a re-
porter about a very sstute and willy poll
tician, relates the Buffalo Enquirer.
1T is difficult" said the mayor, ito get
this man to do anything he doesn't want
to do. Cornered, he advances argument
after argument agaips: the course you
desire him to pursue. He begins with
weak arguments. You think you've got
him. But Just as victory appears as
sured, he puts forth a final argument
that is insuperable, a final argument
that floors you thoroughly.
THE fellow is like tickle sailor Of
the old romance. This sailor was strong,
handsome and gay. The girls liked him,
and he, l fear, liked the girls. The fol-
lowing conversation, one moonlight
night, in the tropics, passed between
him and a young woman:
Then, Jack, when shall we be mar
ried?'
But l promised my wife, sweet
heart, that would never marry a sec
ond time.
The young girl. beautiful in the fat
tering moonlight, murmured:
would you cast me on for the sake
Of a promise to a dead woman
but she isn't dead yet said the
tickle sailor"

tional safeguards to the health Of the
people. This public health service has
a rather interesting history, as 1t is
unique in the governments Of the world.
No such organization exists in any other
country, and probably no function Of
our federal government carries with 1t
more arbitrary and far reaching pow
ers than the enforcement Of health reg
ulations. The marine hospital service
was established by act Of congress July
16, 1888 Within two years there was es-
tablished isolated hospitals at Norfolk,
Boston, Newport and Charleston. Up to
1871, when the service was reorganized
under a single head, dozen hospitals
had been established, including those at
Baltimore, New York and Evansville,
Ind. For three-quarters OF a century
there was a very lax administration OF
these isolated hospitals. When the
service was recognized, Surgeon Gen
eral Woodwork became its head, and
improvement at once followed.
The upbuilding Of the service Is slow
work, however, but under DR.. Wyman,
who took charge IA years ago, this serV-
ice, which then only looked after the
sick merchant sailors, was transformed
into a national health service, controll-
ing national and interstate quarantine,
and the inspection Of the millions OF i'm
migrants who come to this country. The
bureau also handles epidemics, state
national and insular, and controls the
production and distribution Of serums'
viruses, toxins and analogous products.
It conducts scientific research along ny
gienic lines, either In the finely equipped
laboratory in this city or in some part
Of the territory or possessions OF the
United States.
The hygienic laboratory which now
occupies the old naval observatory, Is
engaged in most important inVestga-
lions. Itpromises In time to become one
Of the great institutions Of the United
States devoted to medical research. vi
the $50 doctors connected with the Du-
reau some Of the brightest are assigned
to work in this laboratory. 1t Is study
ing leprosy, spotted fever and looking
after the purity Of drugs, as well as In
specting the serums Of anti-toxins.
