The ACT Of
FEIGNING Death.
Tricks ReS0rted to by Beasts TO

mics.

The feigning of death by certain
animals for the purpose of deceiving
their enemies, and thus securing i'm
munity, is one of the greatest of the
many evidences of their intelligent
ratiocination. This stimulation is moi
confined 10 any particular family. or
der or species of animal. but exists in
many from the very lowest to the high

kingdom the well-known sensitive pla-
mt being an interesting example The
action of this plant is purley reflex,
as can be proved by observation and
experiment, and is not, therefore, a
process of intelligence.
An experimenter, writing in Wissen
fur ALE, says that he has seen the
feigning of death in some of the low
est animals known TO science. Some
time ago, while examining the inhab-
itants of a drop of pond water under
a high-power lens he noticed several
rhizopods busily feeding on The minut
buds of an alga. These rhizopods sud
denly drew in their hairlike filaria and
sank to the bottom, to all appearances
dead. The cause was found to be the
presence of a watermouse an animal
which feeds on these animalculae. 1t
likewise sank TO the bottom, and, after
looking at the erizopods; swan away
evidently regarding them as dead and
unfit for food.
This was not an accidental occur
renee, for the observer has seenthem
since. Through the agency of what
sense he asks, did these little creatures
discover the approach Of their enemy
Is it possible that they and other
microscopic animals have eyes and
ears so exceedingly small that lenses
of the very highest power cannot max
them visible or are they possessors
Of senses utterly unknown TO and in
capable ofbeing appreciated by man?
Science can neither affirm nor deny
either OF, these suppositions.
Most animals are slain for food by
other animals. Most of the carnivora
and insectivora prefer freshly killed
food to carrion. They will not touch
tainted meat when they can procure
fresh. Hence when Ihey come upon

The beavers had not fixed thier

manence may well be challenged. But
experts tell us that the facts are. due
to an economic revolution more mar
velous than anything in the industrial
world. These results have been
achieved by progress no less sure than
rapid Diversity of culture, the bring
ing of deserts into bearing, the rota-
ton of crops, and generally the appli-
cation of science TO farming, have
placed the farmer beyond any fear of
a return of the times when the fore
closure of his mortgages made him a
bankrupt and transferred useless prai-
ries to eastern mortgages. 1t is too
much to hope that crops will never
fail again, but they can never fail so
as heretofore. and when
they fail the results can not be so dis

Does Farming Pay?

That oft-repeated question, Does
farming pay?" could not be better an
swered than by the perusal of the final
figures of the agricultural reports fol
the year. These figures go to prove
that not only does it yield handsome
profits, but it is also one of the great
est sources of wealth in the country
There are some men who have never
made farming pay. 1t has not always
been their fault either Conditions of
soil and location often initiate against
the financial success of the farmer.
Then there are politico-economical rea
sons why farmer. if he goes into debt
to carry on his business, may lose out
and fail to make farming a success.
But aside from these the figures of the
agricultural reports are dazzling in
the wealth of products We find the
following article on the subject in the
New York Tribune:
Corn makes a new record at 1921
416.091 bushels, practically a round
three billions, and, as in the two pre-
ceding years, it's value exceeds bill
lion dollars, being this year s1.116,626
479. Wheat, returning 1920, ,970
bushels, falls short of the record by
100000 bushels, but contributes a
gain of 100000 above last year Cot
ton is not included, as it is not yet all
gathered, ginned. Altogether it is ne
cessary to make considerable additions
to Secretary Wilson's estimate that the
crops would be worth S6,S00 900 900, or
$500, ,000, 900 above last year. In five
years farms have increased in value
$G.131, 600, 900. This is not inclusive of
advances in values of live stock and
farm implements Railroads and equip
ment advance between 1900 and 1904
only some s2,250. .O00, 900. and all val
ues rose only from sSS, SIT ,3O6,775 to
S107 ,104 ,211 ,917 1t will be seen that
the farmer has profited more than any
other class, but 1t can not be imagined
that this growing wealth has been con-
fined to himself A leading railway
authority has reckoned that the trans
portation of crops will bring to the
railways this year $524.764.025. Ma
turally the railroad payroll will exceed
a billion dollars for the first time. This
can not be without advantage to ev-
cry shareholder of the railway, and to

buys and the railways transport. II
