The Ears Of InAecta.

Simply because bee has no ears on
the sides of its head 1t Is no sign what
ever that it is wholly without some
sort of an auditory nerve. This is
proved by the fact that grasshoppers.
crickets, locusts and flies all have their
ears situated in queer places-under
the wings. on the middle of the body
and even on the sides of their legs.
The common house fly does its hear
ing by means of some little rows of
corpuscles which are situated on the
knobbed threads which occupy the
place which are taken up by the hind
wings Of other species Of insects. The
garden slug or shelless snail has its
organs Of hearing situated ON each
side Of Its neck, and the common
grasshopper has them on each Of its
broad, fiat thighs. In some of the
smaller insects they are at the bases
Of the wings and in others ON the bot
tom of the feet.

At the time of the departure of our
American Athletes to compete in the
Grecian contests at Athens, there Tas
many inquiries among our sporting
friends as to what the Marathon race
consisted Of The fact being known
that the plains of Marathon were sew
eral miles from Athens it was coniec-
tured by many that it might be a cross
country, sandy or a soft soil run
from that point to Athens. The follow
ing statement recently published in the
Christian Herald on this subject may
prove of interest to your readers. "In
400 b. c. when the Athenians uLder

In the four years since the act was

that had been advanced before,
when the President, and Secretary
of War and minority of the board
of engineers expressed themselves in
favor of lock canal.
Where to build the canal. what
kind of canal to build, how long it
ought to take, how much it ought
to cost, whether the United States
government is competent to build it,
whether this or that official is doing
his work properly-all these things
have been abundantly discussed.

is evident: the problems of bust.

in the construction of the canal are
so great that only those who have
full information and are expert in
these and kindred problems can

to perform it, the American govern
ment, has never before attempted
anything like it. The canal cannot
be built without perplexities. delays

The Most CuriOur Thing.

A traveller who had just finished a
two-year trip around the world was
asked what was the most curious
thing that had come under his obser-
walton. After considering for few
moments he surprised his hearers by
saying that perhaps the judicial oath
in the Isle of man was about as odd
as anything else. The oath runs,

thereof and by the wonderful works
that God hath miraculously wrought
in Heaven above and in the earth
beneath in six days and seven nights
