INSECT TELEPATHY.
a Professors Curious Experiment With
Two Siisworn Moths.

A Professors Curious Experiment With
Two Siikworm Moths.
Not only the unworthy sluggard
might observe the ant and other in
sects and profit thereby. Science
each day adds to the wonders which
these little creatures are capable Of
and puts human creatures to shame.
This time IL is a sixth sense which
q noted scientist has discovered
many insects to be fortunate enough
to possess. At least they are able
to communicate VITA one another
at great distances.
This professor had two ailantus
trees in his yard, and these suggest
ed the idea to him of obtaining from
Japan some eggs of the ailantus
silkworm. He got a few, Matched
the larvae and watched anxiously
for the appearance of the first
moths from the cOcoOns. He put
one of the moths in a wicker cage
and hung 1t on one of the ailantus
trees. This was female moth. On
the same evening he took a male
moth TO a cemetery a mile and
half away and let him loose, having
previously marked him by tying
silken cord about his abdomen, so as
to be able to identify him. The idea
was to find out if the two moths
would come together for the purpose
of mating, these two being the only
ones of their species within a dis
lance Of hundreds of miles. This
power Of locating each other had
been previously observed in these in
sects. In the morning the two
moths were found TO be in the same
cage, the female having been able
TO attract her mate from a distance
of a mile and a half.
Comparatively little is known
about the ordinary senses of insects.
Most Of them see well, the ewes Of
many being far more elaborate than
those of the human being. The
eyes Of common house flies and
dragon flies are believed to be bet
ter fitted than the human eve for
observing objects in motion, though
these creatures are shortsighted.
That insects have the sense Of taste
cannot be doubted when it is OBJ
served how nice they are in their
selection Of foods. That they have
smell is a matter Of common OBJ

servauOn. Most insects are deaf 10
sounds which are heard by human
beings. At the same time there is
no doubt that they make and hear
sounds which are entirely out of our
range Of hearing.
Certain senses in insects appear
to be beyond comprehension. The
neuters among ants, known as the
"termites," are blind, and yet they
will reduce a beam of wood in their
borrowings without once gnawing
to the surface. An analogy is found
among animals. A bat in a lighted
room, though blinded as to sight,
will fly in all directions with great
swiftness and with infallible certain
ty Of avoiding conclusion or>eontact
with any object. 1t seems to be able
to feel at distance.

A Sunshiny Disposition.

There is a charm which com
pensates 50 much for the lack Of
good looks that they are never
missed. and, when combined with
good looks, it doubly enhances
them. The name of this charm
is a sunshiny disposition. Il things
60 wrong, as they will so once
i'm a while, does il mend matters
TO cry over them? Sensible women
will say no, but women who do
not know how to control them
selves will say: Yes, it does me
good to cry; / feel better after it. -
There are times when tears must
come, but these are beautiful holy
tears. Quite the contrary are the
tears shed over selfish, petty annoy
ances to relieve nerves. The
grandest quality of the human
is self-control. Why? Because
it is the mastery of the souls di-
vine nature over the body's hui
man nature, and, therefore, inn
parts that nobleness TO the mind
from which beauty gains its soul.

Bermuda Onions.

T. {. Nye, in the Georgia Cul-
d tivator, tells of his SUCCESS in this
crop:
Our settlement with ninety acres
planted in Bermuda onions, made
an average Of $4,000 pounds per
acre. Ny part Of that ninety acres
was thirteen acres, and / got IS, 900
pounds per acre. My crop brought
t. o. b., $3.50, 81 800 OF which
should be deducted for expenses,
leaving SO, $50 clear for FIVE months
time. Now / believe in growing
on one acre as much as some grow
ers require two acres for. The
actual cost of irrigation TO grow
that thirteen acres was SIS per
acre from date OF transplanting
until maturity. There were some
acres out of the thirteen that made
an average of 40, 900 pounds, and
the lowest yield of any acre was
"a, 500 pounds.
All of the ground except one
acre had been well fortified in the
last three years, but when the
onion crop came of the land was
plowed and narrowed and what
needed fertilization got it all right
at the rate of sixty tons per acre,
costing SIPS per ton. This
amount is sufficient for three
years.
The system that / follow is to
pillow and harrow the land, not allow
grass and weeds to grow on il al
all. Should il rain after being
plowed, why, just pillow and har-
ow il again. And so on after
every rain. This is the best plan
to keep down grass and weeds.
There is a piece of land in my
place 100 BY 500, about two acres,
which become foul with Johnson
grass for forty feet the long way,
so I concluded that the Johnson
grass must come out. So we irri-
gated il FIST, then used a two

II Was So Sudden LOO.

The German professor had not
been in this country very long, and
his knowledge of English was still
somewhat shaky. He was anxious
to learn, however, and never used
German in speaking to the students
if he could think Of the English
equivalent. He was young and
handsome, and, as all the students
were young women, he was univer-
sally adored. As he was hurrying
to recitation one day he bumped vio-
lently into a young woman who was
rushing in the other direction to
another recitation. Stopping and
taking off mis- hat, he murmured:
ooh, promise me"
And the maiden, blushing rosy
red, said she wOuld--New York

YELLOW fever is said to be
spreading in Panama, despite all
precautions to Prevent it. 1t is also
asserted that facilities for safe
guarding American workmen, arc
lacking on the isthmus. Employees
of the government are not allowed
to resign, and heads of departments
are using every means except rails
ing salaries to keep employees there.
A Panama special to the New
York World says the streets are
filthy, the sanitary" conditions
are nauseating; to one from the
North the climate is enervating and
demoralizing. The days are hot,
with the mercury varying between
90 and % degrees-government
circulars fix it at SO degrees-and
the humidity is so great that rust
and mildew form on everything.
