years, and then it is expected that
the industry will again come to the

The Vision of insects.

: notable fact about the vision Of in
xasts and one which 1t may be sup
posed must largely influence their view
OF the external world Is the number Of
facets or lenses in compound eyes. A
German naturalist, Il. Leinemann, has
been painstaking enough to count the
number Of facets in the eyes Of no
fewer than $50 species Of beetle. He
nnds that in the same species and sex
sse number increases with the size Of
sAe body. There is usually no perma-
nent difference between the sexes as to
the number Of facets. Occasionally,
however, the difference is marked, as
in the case Of Lampyris splendidula,
In which the male has $500 and the
female 300. One species is noted which
has the extraordinary number Of $4,000
facets in its eye. The number Of facets
is greater in the rapidly moving active
forms than in the more sluggish spe-
cies.-Philadelphia Record.

just as she will never learn to sharpen

a woman in this city who takes the
prize in financial matters, except that
she reverses conditions.
Her husband held a fairly nice ac-
count as a local bank in common with
her, where interest was paid on de-
posits at the rate of 8 per cent. One.
afternoon as she went shopping the
wife had occasion to pass her hus.
bands per cent bank and then an
other which paid only 2 per cent. The
more she thought about it the more
complex the problem seemed.
