insects That Continue 60 Exist Aftes
Dccnpitntion.


Must persons of an observing turn OF
mind are aware of the fact that there
are several species of insects that viii
continue to live without seeming incon'
venience for some time after decapita-
tlon, exact knowledge on the length OF
time which the various species of in
sects would survive ouch mutllation
being somewhat vague.
Professor Concstrini once undertook
a series of experiments with view or
determining that and other facts In re-
lation to the wonderful vitality of such
creatures. In each case the head was
smoothly removed with pair Of thin
bladed forceps. and when spontaneous
movements of the wings and legs ceas-
ed he employed sundry irritating de-
vices. such as pricking, squeezing and
blowing tobacco smoke over the insect.
As result of these experiments he as
certained that members of the beetls
fsmily at once showed signs OF suffer
ing, while such as ants. bees, wasps
etc, remained for hours unaffected.
Some which seemed stunned from the
effects of the operation recovered aftet
a time and continued to live and enjoy
headless existence for several days
Butterflies and moths seemed but little
affected by the gullotining process. and
the common flies tdlptera) appeared to
regard the operation as huge joke.

The bodies of some species Of butter
flies survived as long as eighteen days
after the head had been removed. but
the head itself seldom showed signs o!
life longer than six hours after decapl

these huge experiments we are inform
ed that the last signs OF life were man

the outcome was in doubt. At one
stage the convention was threatened

heredity-twin territories, twin con-
stitutions. II proved to lie a false
alarm. however, and ii is given out

FOOD ROADS AND FREE DELIVERY.

GOOD ROADS AND FREE DELIVERY.
For some time signs have been null
tiplying of the Postal departments
resolution to insist upon stricter COM
pliance with the requirements for free
mail delivery both in city and in
country. The withdrawal by order Of
the postmaster general of free delivery
from extensive districts in New Or
leans, because of the city's neglect to
provide sidewalks, is perhaps the most
striking instance, but 1t does not stand
alone. 1t is no new departmental reg
ulation which requires local authori-
ties to keep city streets and country
highways reasonably passable- and in
good repair as the condition OF in
stalling and maintaining free mail de-
livery, but the regulation has never
been strictly enforced.
On road improvement the good effect
of establishment of rural free delivery
has been in the aggregate very great,
but so rapid was the extension of the
service In response to universal de-
mand that many routes were installed
over defective roads or roads that have
since fallen into neglect. The energies
OF the department are certain to be
directed more and more to revision
and correction of the routes with a
view to service efficiency, one of the
most important conditions of which Is
good country highways, and the num-
Der of route disturbances for fail
ure in this respect Is already increas-
ing.
1t cannot, indeed, be gainsaid that
a community which has not the public
spirit and the concern for mail service
to keep its streets and highways in
convenient condition is not entitled to
the dement's of free delivery.

PUBLIC SAFETY ~ PUBLIC CONTROL.

PUBLIC SAFETY By PUBLIC CONTROL.
The occurrence Of the frightful dis
aster on the Baltimore q Ohio within
undoubted exclusive national jurisdic-
ton, in connection with recent fire.
quent like railroad accidents, bids fair
to bring thorough ofieial inquiry into
the character OF precautions for the
safety of the travelling public. These
horrors have been happening appar-
emily almost as much where the man
ual block system, In whole or in part,
is in use as where it is not, seriously
raising the question of its efficiency or
Of the proper use Of It by the railroad
companies. An investigation by con-
gress or by the Interstate Commerce
commission that will go to the bottom
of the subject is imperatively called
for by the facts and by public opinion.
The financial loss to a railroad COM
pany In such a disaster as the one at
Terra Gotta, in the District of Colum-
bia, is immense. and would seem to
involve a selfish interest to provide
every possible preventive device, even
in absence of legal compulsion. Elk
perience, however, has abundantly
shown that corporation self interest is
not adequate to the public safety. The
pressure for penny wise and pound
foolish economies which comes down
from greedy financial authority upon
the operating departments of railroads
is often too great to be resisted and
corrected compatibly with public
safety by anything short of stringent
government supervision.

A CUBAN PRuTEsn


Actual preparations for drafting a
new election law have brought to a
head an ominous movement among
native Cubans for an American pro-
tectorate. This expression of serious
distrust takes the form OF numerous
petitions sent direct to Washington ex-
tensively signed by Cuban property
owners and substantial business men,
virtually denying the possibility of es-
tablishing safe and stable government
on the basis of independence under ex-
listing conditions. e.
The business situation throughout
the island appears at the same time
to become steadily more grave, be-
cause the banks and financial institu
tons, while they have industriously
taken advantage of American occupa-
ton to collect debts, are quite gen.
orally adopting the policy of refusing
to make or renew loans for the coming
year. AS the tobacco and sugar crops.
which are the very foundation of
Cuban business and commerce, are in
the main produced on a system Of ad-
vances ahead often even of planting.
to be repaid only after marketing, 1t
cnn be seen how fatal the industrial
results Of such a policy must be.
But II speaks more emphatically than
any formal showing in words the ap-
prehension of the business and con-
sentative classes that property and
personal rights will be insecure the
moment the strong hand of the
United States is withdrawn and the
island left at the mercy of faction and
revolutionary habit That at this
juncture this should be the attitude
OF 30 many native Cubans, whose pre-
delictions should naturally be in favor
of independent self government, but
who have everything to lose and moth
Ing to gain from an era Of violence
and civil commotion, is certainly an
ominous circumstance.
The success of native government
must largely depend upon the prop
erty-owning, Industrial and profess
sional classes. With their most earn
est activity, the difficulties in the way
of establishing such regime as would
be tolerabie, after the withdrawal of
the United States from the island,
would be formidable. for the revolu-
tionary impulse Of large portion Of
an irresponsible and ignorant popula-
ton is known to be chronic. The pros
pect is anything but pleasing when the
restraining and competent elements Of
native society are busying themselves
to secure permanent American con-
troll, under the euphemism of a pro-
tectorate, ct the very moment when
their utmost endeavors are necessary
for rehabilitation Of the self-govern-
ment which the United States ia striv-
ing to lead up to.
