Publicity as a Panacea,

We have in this country an almost
superstitious reverence for publicity,
as though it were a panacea for polit-
zeal and social evils. Give the people
the facts, is our comfortable doctrine,
and conditions will remedy themselves.
But there is as much difference be-
tween diagnosis and cure as applied to
printers ink, as to medicine, and the
time will come, ever it the writer be
wrong in thinking it is now with us,
when the feeblest of tonics will do
us more good than the most drastic
of these modern literary emetics.
It is a curious fact that, when we
speak of publicity and its value, we
have i'll mind publicity in its narrow
and restricted sense, as the searchlight
of public knowledge thrown upon some
thing which is wrong. We make it
serve as a sort of social scavenger, as
though that were its great function in
stead of its very least. AS though
that great instrument of civilization
was being employed at it's best task
when engaged in probing, with a pry-
,ing-hook, our social garbage barrels
George W. Alger, in the Atlantic.

REASONING POWER IN ANIMALS.
Wonderful Instincts Possessed by the In
sect Creation.

Wonderful Instincts Possessed by the In
sect Creation.
As scientific investigations extend it
becomes more and more difficult to
draw the line between the higher and
the lower animals and the plants. and
even between the plants and inor-
ganic substances. 1t no longer suffices
to say that man is the highest animal
because he alone has the gift of rea
son; nor to say that a plant is different
from a stone because it grows. These
supposed distinctions are now known
to be erroneous, for the broadly scien-
tific man now knows that other ami
mails than man can reason. that plants
have habits which must be attributed
to a w~ell-developed instinct, and that
inorganic bodies such as crystals, can
grow.
Investigations on these lines are be-
ing widely carried on at the present
day. A writer in La Nature gives an
Ingenious explanation of the wonderful
instincts possessed by the insect crea-
ton. Most of these insects are very
short-lived, and there is apparently no
time for educating the young. Yet how
n%nerringly do they follow out the round
of their existence; in many cases they
are, by their blind instinct, able to defy
all the reasoning power of man and
they ravage his crops, etc., doing great
damage.
The writer in question points out
that in an earlier geological age there
were not such seasonal changes of eli
mate as we now have. In those days,
as witnessed by fossil remains in coal,
ETC., insects grew to a large size and
probably lived as long as many higher
animals. Their instinct was developed
in that age, he thinks, and has been
transmitted through countless genera
tions to the present, in spite Of the
constant shortening of the period of the
insects life, by the closing in Of eli
matte conditions.

Died of improvements.

The following is told of a patient. a
German woman. who, taken seriously
i'll, was sent to the hospital.
In the evening her husband inquired
how she was getting along, and was
told that she was improving.
Next day he called again, and was
told she was still improving.
This, went on for some time, each
day the report being that his wife was
improving.
Finally, one night when he called he
was told that his wife was dead. See
Ing the doctor, be went up to him ara
said, well, doctor, vat did she die of
improvements ?-Harper's Weekly.

When one can't do anything else
with it one can turn his telephone to
account as a barometer. Having plant
ed two iron rods in the garden, at
a distance of about twenty feet one
from the other, connect both with the
wire of the telephone. The soil i'll
which the rods stand must be well
soaked every eight or ten days with a
solution of h~ydrochlorate of ammonia.
Then, by listening to the telephone,
one will be able to forecast the wealth
Ter at least twelve hours in advance
more accurately than with any barom>

like that of hailstones on a roof, is
heard, a rain storm is not far distant.

For the first time in history, it is
said, one of the pyramids has been
struck by lightning. The pyramid
struck has been that of Khephren, and
the fact is another Illustration of the
gradual change that is being brought
about in the climate of Egypt by the
great dam at Assouan and the irriga-
ton works made possible since British
occupation of the Nile Valley.

A sterecscopic star chart is the sue
cessful novelty of 7. E. Heath. the
English astronomer. The stars i'll a
given section of the heavens are drawn
from two points of view that are sup
posed to be twenty-siX eight years
apart, and under a large ~stereoscope
the double view gives a rough but very
Instructive impression of the stars
floating in space at an approximation
to their relative distances, instead OF
as points against the dark background
of the sky. The result is a most ILL.,
teresting one.
