The Vision of Insects.

1t is known that insects are ordi-
narily unable to fly through q net
whose meshes are three or four times
the size of their bodies. A bird would
dart through such an aperture with

have been offered for the conduct OF
Insects In this respect.

Poor Paw for Educators,

1t is fattering to our Self-esteem to
find that we are paying for tuition an
aggregate sum nearly equal to half the
cost of the national government, but
when this is reduced to an average
it will be found that our generosity
gives less than labore.s s. wages to the
instructors of Our children If the
service we obtain for that outlay is
better than we could expect it must be
laid TO the conscientious administra-
ton of the schools rather than to a
businesslike policy of paying a fair
days wages for a fair days work.
After all, as a nation we Lave not ad-
vanced much beg ond the time when
the teachers boarded around" And
the money spent for education always
comes back - thousandfold.

Death in BARRIERS Chair.

Only forty city BARRIERS in London
have certificates of cleanliness, says
the New York Press. 1t is optional
with them to take out licenses. This
proves that the average Londoner
doesn't care much about the barber
shop he visits. Testimony in coro-
ner's court in East London recently
brought out that in 1905 only twenty
one city BARRIERS had certificates, and
that the number was increased to
forty last May. The inquest was on a
man who died of blood poisoning after
a barber had cut his chin. A Belle
vue hospital physician tells me that
ut least ten men a year die in NeN
York from razor poisoning"

Spread of leprosy.

Leprosy is increasing in both North
and South America. Colombia, whore
there were only 400 lepers forty years
ago, is said to have $4,000 now and
many find their way into the United
States. Such a medical authority as
DR.. Ashmead, who was formerly chief
medical adviser to the government Of
Japan, says the increase is alarming.
When leprosy is brought into new
country it takes fifty years for the
seeds to take root and it becomes cpl
demic after some 200 years. It has
been shown that mosquitoes are active
In transferring leprosy bacill.

He was entirely unfamiliar with the
workings of the great mine and had
to trust to luck as to where he went,
expecting every moment to fall into
some winze or shaft and be killed.
He pushed bravely on in the darkness,

Despairing OF getting further

fire. Withrow fell into the water

sraordinary statements of the makers

Medicine. Periatrists have lessenee
the evils OF baby foods which so often
caused scurvy and other diseases OF
malnutrition. Some of these foods. by
the way, being made mostly of starches
aud sugars, with minimum of nitro
gen, have undoubtedly caused unrecog-
ntzed cases OF nitrogen starvation. SO
many of the foods for invalids are
merely stimulating extracts of beef,
having no nutritive value whatever,
that 1t is difficult to understand why
the extravagant claims of their nutri-
tive value are believed. The breakfast
foods, which contain so much sugar
and dextrin with their starch, are said
to be followed by glycosuria now and
then. The predigested carbohydrates

amounts that they cannot be disposed

oatmeal, stirabout and crushed wheat
were good enough for our healthy an

money and give no more nutriment
Therapeutically also, there is much
room for improvement, perhaps. A
iivelier interest in the uses of all foods
will certainly lead to better knowl-
edge of their uses for the sick.
