EDITORIAL INK DROPS.

The editor of The BEE has noted
with considerable surprise and pain
the application for a license to sell
liquor in Huntingtown district. This
is purely a residential or farming dis
trict, and we think the same objection
should rule against planting a saloon
there, as exists when the attempt is
made to set up saloon in the strictly
residential district in the city. So far
as the man who wishes the application
is concerned we would as soon grant a
license to him.a any man. But under
the existing law we are strenuously
opposed to increasing the number OF
saloons in this town. There is pros.
pect there will be one ,less in Sandy
Hook, the coming year, for which a
great many citizens will rejoice. If
the county commissioners grant a H.
cense in Huntingdon district we
shall be surprised. We venture the
prophecy that they will not. With a
population of barely 5000 it is certain
the present number of saloons does
not need to be increased.

When our country was in the log

TROT OR GALLOP?
What DO Fish DO. and the Seals and
Insects md WOrms.

Here is problem for people with
sharp eyes: As we all know, a horse
when walking Or trotting advances
only one leg of each pair at time, but
when galloping lifts both fore feet to-
gether and then both hind feet Now,
the question is how other animals man.
age this matter. The birds, of course,
flap both wings together, but which
birds run and which hop? We human
beings ''trot' when we walk and "gal-
lop'' when we swim-that is, if we are
using the plain breast stroke. The dog,
however, "trots'' for both. Now, do
the amphibious animals-the seals, OF
tiers and the rest-swim like men or
like other four footed creatures?
Then there are the fish. One would
rather expect that, as they move their
tails from side to side, they would flap
alternately with the fms, which are
their hands and feet. Who can tell
whether they do or not and whether all
fish at all times follow one rule? BY
the way, how does frog use its
'handsY'
The great anatomist E. Ray Lanke-
ster has pointed out that while the
thousand legs" such as our common
gally worm, advance two feet of a pair
together, the centipeds, which are much
like them, do exactly the opposite, and
the swimming worms also alternate the
stroke of each pair Of paddles. doubt
if many people can tell on which sys-
tenn the caterpillar manages its dozen
or so legs or whether the adult insect
walks, trots, PAGES or gallops on its six.
How does the spider use eight?
Altogether this is large field for OBJ
servation. a field, too, where any one
may discover new facts as yet unre-
corded, and thus add to the store of
knowledge.-St. Nicholas.

The bill creating single beard OF
regents to control the three great edu-

adopted by the senate after a three
days debate, having several votes to
spare. There has been determined
effort TO defeat the measure in the
house, but its friends claim It will get
through in practically as good form as
II left the senate. The opposition to
the bill came openly from President
Storms and the various professors at
the state agricultural college at Ames,
and this fact aroused some of the
senators, who did not mince words in
belaboring the school men as lobby
fists. more persistent and more insist

ever been known In Des Moines. The
bill creates board OF regents Of IF
