Wonderful Breathing Apparatus OF
Wnsps and Hornets.
If we take any moderately large in
sect. say wasp or a hornet we can
see. even with the naked eye, that
a series of small spotlike marks runs
along the side of the body. These APP
parent spots, which are eighteen or
twenty In number are, in fact, the
apertures through which air is admit
ted into the system, and are generally
formed in such a manner that no ex-
traneous matter can by any possibility
find entrance.
Sometimes they are furnished with
pair of horny lips, which can be opened
and closed at the will Of the insect; in
other cases they are densely fringed
with stiff, interlacing bristles, forming
a filter which allows air and air alone
to pass.
But the apparatus, of whatever char
acter it may be, is always 50 wonder
fully perfect in its action that it has
been found impossible to injure the
body of dead insect with so subtle a
medium as spirits of wine, although
the subject was first immersed in the
fluid and then placed beneath the re
ceiver of an air pump.
The apertures in question commune
cate with two large breathing tubes,
which extend through the entire length
of the body. From these main tubes
are given off innumerable branches,
which run in all directions and con
tinually divide and subdivide, until q
wonderfully intricate network is form
ed pervading every part of the struc
ture and penetrating even to the an
tennae.

AN ANCIENT TELEGRAPH.
Used by Grecian Generals In the

Used by Grecian Generals In the
Time of Aristotle.
Telegraphy as a means of conveying
information to a distance by means of
signals etc, was used by the Grecian
generals in the time of Aristotle This
early mode of telegraphing consisted
of two or more earthen vessels, eX-
actly similar in shape and size and fill
ed with water. These vessels We're
the same caliber, so that an equal
amount of water could be discharged
from each in given time.
In these vessels several uprights
were fixed, each with disks attached,
on which were certain letters and SEN
fences. When all was in readiness
the party desiring to communicate
with another started q signal which
was continued until it was answered
by another which signified "go ahead"
When that signal was given both turn
ed the faucets, and the water COM
menced to escape. The water contln-
ued to flow until the sender of the
message relighted his torch, when the
outlet to both was instantly stopped.
The receiver then read the message on
the disk which was standing level with
the water, and if everything had been
executed with eXactness it correspond
ed with the message which the sender
desired to convey, and which of course
was the one also shown on the disk

Wind Velocity.

The average velocity of the wind is
low, in most places between five and
ten miles an hour, corresponding re-
spectively to Wind pressure of from
two ounces to eight ounces a square
foot. During portions of nearly every
day, however, somewhat higher veloc-
tiles are recorded since the averages
contain considerable periods of very
light breezes occurring often within a
few hours before and after sunrise
and sunset There are few days with
out periods of brisk breezes of from
fifteen to twenty miles an hour.

YOUR MOUTH.
Teach 1t to Smile and Keep Away the
Cynical Lines

Teach 1t TO Smile and Keep Away the
Cynical Lines.
1t is Ruskin who points out that in
the human race alone the mouth is a
mark of beauty and may be made to
convey great deal of expression even
though the lips are silent
The curve OF a woman's lips can ex-
press, oh, so much! There is the proud
mouth, the cynical mouth, the sensual
mouth, the cruel mouth. Lips that
tremble can tell more of grief than
many a spoken word. Lips that smile
can illuminate a whole household
AS mode of expression the mouth
has ever been q telling factor AS a
mark of beauty the mouth can be cul-
tiyated. 1t needs no beauty doctors
art to train it to pleasant lines. Teach
it to smile. Refuse to let 1t settle into
hard, cynical lines. Give it the uplift
and serenity that speak more plainly
than words of peace and strength, says
Home Chat. BY deliberate training the
mouth can be made one of the most
telling. most attractive. features of a
personality.

One hundred and thirty-one miles is
the height Of the atmosphere as meas
ured by Professor I. j. ]. See, who
determines the thickness of the air
envelope by noting the difference be
tween the time of sunset and the COM
plete disappearance of blue from the
sky. The moment at which the blue
changes into black can be observed
quite easily with approximate GER
tainty by the naked eye when the
air is clear, and by trigonometry
may be ascertained the distance below
the horizon of the sun at the moment
of change. BY this means may be cal
culated the height of the smallest illu-
minated particles of oxygen and nitro
gen which give to the sky its blueness
of tint by the reflection of the smallest
wave lengths of the suns light The
instant of change from blue to black
is possibly a little difficult Of exact
observation, but the method is not more
doubtful than that based on the OBJ
servation of shooting stars. The shoot
ing star method gives a result not
greatly differing from the vanishing
blue method. The former gives the
height of the atmosphere at 100 miles.
