There Is one curious fact which not
everybody notices about the common,
linger-long, green caterpillars of our
larger moths. Their hearts, instead of
being in front, are at the back of the
body and extend along the entire
length of the animal One can see the
heart distinctly through the thin skin
and can watch its slow beat, which
starts al the tail and moves forward to
the head. Hearts of this sort reaching
from head to tail are not ut all uncom-
mon in the simpler creatures. The
earthwOrm has one, and so have most
worms, caterpillars and other crawling
things. Hearts in the middle of the
back also are quite as frequent as
those in what seems to us to be the
natural place. Many animals, the lob
stcr for example, and the crayfsh and
the crab, which have short hearts like
those of the beasts and birds, never
thcless have them placed just under
the shell in what, in ourselves. would
be the small of the back.-St. Nicholas.

FEWER BUSINESS FAILURES
ARE REPORTED IN ENGLAND

LONDON. Jan. ia substantial de-
crease is shown in the total of COM
mercial tragedies of the year that has
just closed The total number of fail
ures during the year. according to a
carefully compiled list which appeared
in Kemp's Mercantile Gazette, reached
1928 in England and Wales a decrease
of 624 on the previous year.
When it is remembered that during
the previous four years there was a
steady growth in the number of those
whose failure to make both ends meet
landed them in the bankruptcy court
the figures for last year have a spe-
cally interesting significance The
failures in 1902 amounted to 1882, in 1909
to S137, in 1904 to SS75, in 1905 to 1851,
in 1856 to 1928
The substantial decrease in the num-
Der of farmers bankruptcies has par
ticular interest. In 1895 the total
numbered 1903. This was gradually re-
duced until in 1899 only 135 were re-
corded. Since then there has been a
steady rise until in 1905 the total
reached PA. The figures for last year,
l42, show that the rise at least has
been checked.
1t is satisfactory to notice that this
improvement is reflected most largely
i'm those trades which in previous years
had been hardest hit by the depression
then prevailing. The grocery and pro-
vision trades for example which in
1905 showed 1863 more bills of sale than
in the previous year, had in 1906 the
substantial decrease of 1874.

PRIMA DONNA'S ODD MASCOT

LONDON, Jan. 12.-All sorts of
strange things have been used as mas
cots, but perhaps Nine. Giachetti, the
famous prima donna, is the first to
select the head of "a deer as a luck
bringer.
When she arrived in London for the
recent Covent garden season Nine.
Giachetti occupied for a time the fiat
of a well-known big game hunter, who
was taken away on an expedition and
had asked that his rooms should be let
during his absence.
In the room in which she practiced
her parts was the head of an enormous
moose. and to this she became accus-
toned to address herself. Soon she be-
gan to regard the head as a source of
inspiration and determined that she
would buy it at all costs.
Then the big game hunter returned
and Nine. Giachetti had to take an
other fiat. She implored the owner of
the head to sell it to her, but it had
been connected with an exciting adven-
ture and he refused to part with it at
any prce.
Next day madame could not practice.
Every time she began she turned, from
force of habit to look for the moose
head, and when she saw it was not there
she came to a full stop. A moose head,
she decided must be got at all costs.
Naturalists shops were searched in
vain. for none had such head in stock.
Only in the Natural History museum
at South Kensington could one be
found. and this was not available.
AS a last resort the finger asked the
hunter to lend her the head and he
agreed to do so for a week. But when
the head was borrowed again and
again the owner i'm ignorance of the
reason, declared that he could not
continue to upset his belongings in
this way.
Driven to desperation the prlma dom
ma told him everything, but he was
still 10th to part with the head. Would
she not accept the head of another kind
OF deer? he asked, and try the result.
Nine. Giachetti placed the head In her
room and began to practice. The effect
was magical and the new head proved
quite as effective as that of the moose.
She sent the hunter an autograph
photograph with her best thanks, and
has taken the precious head with her to
Milan.

JAMES BRYCE is CRITICISED
FOR KEEPING IN POLITICS
Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Gable to The Herald.
LONDON, Jan. 12.-James Bryce, the
newly appointed British ambassador
to Washington, is at present the sub
ject of some uncomplimentary remarks
i'm the political clubs, even members
OF his own party considering his doings
not quite discreet. All this criticism
is caused by an announcement In the
north country papers to the following
effect:
James Bryce, the new American
ambassador, is to visit Newcastle on
January Is as the guest of the Glad
stone club, of which he is president
and will be entertained at dinner by
this club"
This is regarded, to put the club
talk mildly, as an undesirable departure
from the etiquette of the diplomatic
corps, of which Mr.. Bryce is now q
member. Whatever may be the sys-
TEN in the United States, the practice
in this country is that ambassadors
and members of the embassies should
refrain from participation in party
politics.
1t may be recalled that the radicals
and nationalists objected in the last
parliament to Lord Selborne's re-elec-
ton as vice president of the Liberal
Unionist council just after his appoint
ment to the high commissionership of
South Africa was announced and Lord
Selborne's name, believed to have been
placed on the list of vice presidents
inadvertently, was taken off at the
first opportunity.
