Compound Eyes Of Insects.

A notable fact about the vision Of
Insects, and one which it may be
supposed must largely influence their
view of the external world is the
number of facets. or lenses. in com
pound eyes. A German naturalist. X
Leinemann, has been painstaling
enough to count the number of facets
in the eyes of no fewer than $50
species of beetle. He finds that i'm
the same species and sex the number
incrases with the size of the body.
Trere is usually no permanent diff
erence between the sexes as to the
number OF facets. Occasionally. how
ever, the difference is marked. as in
the case of Lompyris Splendidula. in
which the male has $500 and the fe-
male 300. One species is noted which
has the extraordinary number of
$4,000 facets i'm its eye. The number
of facets is greater in the rapidly
moving active forms than in the more
sluggish species.

TURKEYS COOK cHEsTNuTs
Wise Birds that Live in the WIds Of
Pennsylvania.

Filled with an overwhelming spirit
of gratitude for the protecting laws
thrown around them by the State Of
Pennsylvania. game birds and animals
which are row safe from pot hunters
are showing their appreciation in a
most amazing manner. This is evd-
enced by the truthful reports coming
from various points and which are
here set forth.
Near Blain. Perry county, Hiram
GLIB observed a flock of wild turkeys
carrying chestnuts. just now ripening
to charcoal pit and dropping them
upon the hot Goals. Sool the nuts
burst open. and the intelligent birds,
raking them out with their claws, car
ried the mealy chestnuts TO a cleared
spot, where, after cooling, the nuts
were eaten with Gusto.
Mr.. Glib is convinced that the wild
turkeys are doing their best to ac-
quire more delicious flavor, so that
they will be highly appreciated by
the sportsmen who are lucky enough
TO Kill and eat them.

Gated in the ocean liners and the swift
flying automobiles and partially so in
the recent efforts of Santos-Dumont
and others.
The horseless carriage first took
tangible form in the seventeenth CEN
tury, when Johann Haustach of Nu-
remberg contrived a vehicle propelled
by huge coiled spring, the action be-
ing on the principle of clockwork.
Haustach was known as "a manufac-
turer of chariots going by spring and
making 1000 PAGES an hour" The
spring was controlled by a lever in
the hands of the chauffeur, and, in the
absence of a steering device, the
chariot could be propelled only in q
straight line, which would have rem
dered its progress through the loop
district OF Chicago somewhat difficult,
even at its advertised rate of little
more than a mile an hour. Haustach
seems to have paid more attention to
the ornamentation Of the body of his
vehicle than to its propulsion.
About the same time probably the
general utilization of the winds Of
heaven in the windmills of Holland
suggested the idea of sail wagons"
used to some extent on the fat plains
of that country. These were called
"seylende windwagen," and consisted
Of the rigging of a ship attached to
wheeled platforms.
In 1914 patent Of Louis XIV. grant
ed to Jean Theson the privilege OF
employing a little four-wheel carriage
set in motion without any horses, but
merely by two men seated" The sup.
position, in the absence OF detailed
drawings, is that the "men seated"
propelled the vehicle by strenuous leg
work.
Sir Isaac Newton is said to have in
vented a steam carriage, after others
had conceived the idea of propelling
vehicles by steam power. The de.
velopment along this line followed
closely that of the steam railroad. The
latter appeared so much more
feasible to the inventors that 1t was
followed and the steam carriage idea
was not original fundamentally, it is
said, but copied after the original
steam engine Of Hero of Alexandria,
who broke into the steam-engine busi-
ness about 200 B. C, Newton's model

The first American inventors to
tackle the steam propelled vehicle
problem were oliver Evans Of Mary
land in 1873, and Nathaniel Read of
Massachusetts in 1890.
Richard Trevithick of England I'm
1902 patented steam carriage that
was a distinct advance over previous
efforts.
BY this time it came to be believed
that ordinary wheels were insufficient
to secure traction, and mechanical
legs were devised as propellers. The
Gordon machine, patented in 1924,
was six-legged affair, the pedals be-
ing operated by steam. Goldworthy
Durney about the same time produced
steam carriage which used legs as
auXiliaries. The steam coach patent

EVOLUTION OF THE AUTO
Many Centuries Ago Great Minds We're Graphing
Probem-Roser Bacons

Early in the dawn of human intelli-
gence there came the dream of unre-
stricted, individual locomotion. It
was toward the end of the thirteenth
century says r. T. Sloss in his Book
OF the Automobile that the learned
franciscan friar, Roger Bacon, wrote:
we will be able to propel carriages
with incredible speed without the as.
sistance of any animal" At the same
time he predicted the coming of the
steamship and the flying machine

ing from a nozzle in the rear.
In 1869 Nicholas Joseph Cugnot,
with state funds placed at his disposal
by the Due de Choiseul, constructed a
steam gun carriage and the following
year he produced an improved auto
which is still preserved in Paris. The
machine had but three wheels, the
boiler overhanging in front on the the

Prejudiced Against Typewriters.

The late Associate Justice Gray of
the Supreme court was very eccentric
Among his prejudices was a deep and
lasting aversion for a typewriter. That
machine did not come into general use
until Justice Gray was an old man and
he never became reconciled to it. 1t
made him furious if a lawyer filed
with him motion or other court pa
per typewriter. He invariably re-
turned it with brusque request that
the matter to be submitted be written
in longhand. He had a stenographer
at his disposal, but never utilized his
services, as he wrote all his letters as
well as his opinions. He notified the
clerk of the Supreme court not to send
him any typewriter paper, no matter
how important it might be. He never
neglected an opportunity to denounce
typewriters. The result of his hatred
fer these machines was that he did
three times as much work as the other
justices.
