new fruits and berries, some Of which
promise TO have extensive use. Now
we have a seedleos and coreless apple,
produced, it ia said, by ]. F. Spencer,
Of Grand Junction, Col. who, after
some years Of effort, has secured five
trees. Being seedless, the coreless sp-
pie is also wormless. The tree that
bears it is slso blossomless, q circum-
stance that further discourages tn. cod.

The want Of blossoms exempts the
crop Of apple. from the bad effect Of

Light Kills Them.

The cavern beetle was first discov-
cred some seventy years ago IN an
Austrian cave, the grotto of Adels.
berg. One specimen only was caught,
and, though its discoverer offered
prize of 95 for another it was fourteen
years before a second was found
The cavern beetle has little round
body, very long legs and absolutely
no eyes at all Brought out from irs
gloomy haunts into the light of the
sun, it dies almost Immediately. Yet
in its pitch.dark home far beneath the
surface of the earth it moves with as
great rapidity and certainty as any Of
its eyed relatives on the upper soil.
To make up for its lack Of sight it
is provided with antennae of e1traordi.
nary lengths and delicacy. By means
of these it feels its way over the
rough surface OF the stone and hunts
its prey--other smaller blind insects
with great rapidity and absolute cer-
tainty.
The cavern beetle has its enemies
The blothrus "a species Of scorplon)
and the great eyeles' spider hunt it
remorselessly. Prince Khevenhuller,
who thorouuhly explored these caves
some years ago, describes it as most
extraordinary sight to watch by the
light of a can lie scorpion, absolute =
ly eyeless, hunting beetle, equally
blind, along the cavern wall. Al
though the beetle was several feet in
front of the scorpion and divided from
it by a fssure in the rock, yet the
scorpion tracked it with absolute and
almost appalling certainty.
The spider found in these caves is
of lovely white and is able, like 9th
er insects which inhabit the same sub.
terranean depths, to run away rapidly
and find it's way with as positive cer'
tainty as if it had eyes and light to
use them. Like several OF the others
it, too, perishes iftaken out Of the
cave. Sunlight seems to wlther and
shrivel up these insects, just as though
they had been placed in front Of a hot
fire.
Yet in spite of this fact, it is known
that the blind cave creatures are de-
scended from others which originally
lived in the light of day.
An ordinary proof Of this is that
though no faintest ray marks the diff
ference between day and darkness in
the depths they live in, vet it has beer
ascertsined beyond the shadow Of a
doubt that those whose ancestors were
nocturnal in their habits still prefer
to move about during those hours
when the surface Of the earth is il
darkness.
Numbers Of different kinds Of 6st
are known to live in the gloomy riv'
ers and lakes which exists in all large
caves.

THE CHANCE.

No man is born too late
To turn his back to hate
We may not all be great
Or rich or wise;
The chances may be few
For winning fame. but who
Succeeds by gazing through
Ungrateful eyes :
Mankind has never had
Less cause for being sad
Nor more for being glad
Than We possess
Ne'eT has the world before
Encouraged kindness more
Or had such gifts in store
For cheerfulneSs.
