A statistical paper on India, lately published in London, makes the state ment that during 1901 the total num- ber of persons killed by wild beasts in India was twenty-four thousand and thlrty-four, Of whom nearly twenty two thousand fell victims to snakes. Tigers killed nearly eight hundred, and leopards nearly four hundred. On the other side of the account are sixty-fiye thousand snakes killed. and sixteen thousand other wild animals. To many persons it may seem strange that a country so old as India should still harbor so many wild beasts, and that they should be permitted to commit such depredations. It must be remem- bered that the country is of vast ex- tent. much of 1t still covered with dense jungle; and that religious scru- pies prevent many of the inhabitants from taking the life of any animal, hence general measures of extermina- ton receive little native support.

Some assertions sound platltudlnous

Some assertions sound platltudinous. but they are nevertheless worthy of continued repetition. It is worth while, for instance, to reiterate that any American woman who marries a for eigner of title is taking almost certain chances of unhappiness. This is not necessarily because the titled foreigner Is bad husband. but because his whole views of life are different from those of the American citizen. That there have been happy marriages Of Ameri- can women and European artiStocrats need not be denied. The greater part of such alliances are unhappy for the fundamental reason stated.

An English authority, discussing the reason for the increase in insanity, says that everything that Is excessive in a great civilization contributes to mental alienation. Many especial causes are responsible, such as ill-assorted mar riages, which engender hereditary in- sanity; hazardous and desperate spec ulations. the frequency of commercial crises, the increasing fluctuations of po- litical life, the laziness peculiar to the rich. the abuse of fermented liquors, md, lastly. the immense number of re- liglous sects

 The se,ectmen of Brookline, Mass. are experimenting with a plan for destroy ing mosquitoes by means of music notes. The experiments are being made by the town meteorological laboratory under Supt. Myhen. It has been diScov- cred that certain number of musical vibrations will cause mosquitoes to eX- perience sudden and complete paraly- sis. Not only does this intensified note arrest the insect in flight. but 1t will hurl it from ceiling or wall. Also be- cause of a strange construction of the mosquitoes auditory system it causes the insect to plunge undeviatingingly toward the spot whence the music starts.
 Dr. Frank Snow, with q small party of Kansas University students. has been bug catching in southwest Arizona. They brought back 15.000 specimens, all pinned and labeled, of which some 100 are new to science. Of these. 5.430 are beetles, 4,500 are flies. 1926 are butter flies and moths, and the rest run the list of bees, wasps, bugs and insects. The butterflies and moths were collect ed at night by spreading on tree near the camp a mixture of beer and molas- seS. Dr. Snow made two expeditions during the summer vacation. The re- gents appropriated for this purpose S2oo. The grand result was upward of 30.0O0 specimens. On tle last trip he secured 100 specimens of a beetle that Is catalogued to sell at S1 per specimen. Tie whole collection in Kansas Univer- sity is exceeded in the United States by that of Harvard University alone.

pear for Lack of Sunlight.
 IL its youth the spruce forest offers an inviting home to Towering plants, both shrubs and herbs. The soil is moist and rich, consisting in large part of decaying leaves and twigs. The shade, though nearly uniform, is not dense and fiecks of sunshine appear everywhere in 1t. The light is not strong enough to produce tangled un- dergrowth, but well-developed growth is found everywhere except in the most shaded spots.
 The layer of shrubs and bushes con. sists largely of the mountain maple, rose and ninebark, among which are scattered birches, gooseberries, raspber- ries and viburnums. In spring the ground is carpeted with strawberries Along the brooks white and yellow vio- lets are common and orchids are scat tered here and there. In the summer flowers are abundant, gentians. blue bells. goldenrods, daisies, columbines and painted cups vying with each other in giving color to the mass of green. In the shadier places low ferns abound, while the moist soil of tie shadiest hooks is clothed with moses and lichen.
 As the forest grows older the shrubs are the first plants to disappear, be- cause of the increasing shade. They are followed after q few years first by the taller herbs and then by the others, araiT Thnza hut f-a little light are left. Even these persist only in more open spots and finally dis. appear and the shade becomes uniform ly dense.
 4 mature forest, 200 years old or more, rarely allows even a stray sun- beam to pass and beneath It is twilight at monday. \ few evergreen pirolas blossom in scattered groups. Clusters of the coral root are found frequently in bloom, but this is a leafess orchid ground is covered with a dense layer of brown spruce needles, which furnish a home for toadstools and cup fungi, and in the moister places for lichens and mosses.
 The forest has now reached its final stage. It may still persist in this form for several hundred years Indeed, If 1t is not removed by an accident, it Is difficult to set a limit to Its age. In any event, a forest can rarely live 1000 years. owing to the great weight of the tree tops and the fact that decay Is constantly weakening the trunks.-St. Nicholas

midnight before l saw the uark suad- ows of a village at the end of the road. Just outside this village I came to a miserable little cottage where light still burned In the window; knocked on the door to inquire for a place to put up for the night.
 "Is that you, Tad?" came a gruff voice from within.
 "No," said I. "Open the door a min ute: want to ask you something"
 The bolt was drawn, and man at tired In cotton undershirt and over alls looked sleepily out into the dark ness.
 "I thought you was my boy, Tad" he explained, rubbing his eyes, "and, snip my ears! here he Is now!"
 A barefoot youth came panting out of the shadow with his arms full of shoes of various sizes and colors.
 Get any?" asked the man, expect antly.
 "Yassir," replied the boy, In fila! tone-"seven of 'em tonight, and two of 'em Is pair"
 Good !" the man said, and then he turned to me with the manner of one who thinks an explanation would be polite. "You see, Tad can make a noise that sounds louder and has more worry to 1t aad sounds more natural like a tomcat than any cat in this country can make. So he just goes into the village and yells under the windows about this time In the fall. Then he picks up what Is flung out"
 And you get shoes enough for win ter?" I finished.

 There Is an old story of simple Highland lass who had walked to Glas- gow to join her sister In service. On reaching a toll-bar on the skirt of the elty, she began to rap smartly with her knuckles on the gate. The toll-keeper ,ame out to see what she wanted. Please, sir, Is this Glasgow she in- lulred. "Yes, this Is Glasgow" Please" said the girl, "is Peggy in?" The author of National Humor" gives another anecdote Of Highland simplic- lty:
 4 Highlander who lived not very far rom Balmoral sent two beautiful col lies as a present to Queen Victoria, who knew him well, having often driven past his house, and once or twice stopped to speak to him and his wife.
 The queen not only accepted the col lies, but told the donor that If he ever found his way to London when she was 1t Windsor he was to call and see her. As 1t happened, he had to go to Lon lon soon after. So be went and asked for John Brown, whom he knew, and who had heard what the queen said to him.
 John Brown let the queen know that her Highland friend of the collies was h waiting, and was told to bring him h.
 He took care to post him In the eti- 1uette to be observed; told him not to speak until the queen spoke to him. and to be sure always to say madam"
 The Higlander was then ushered Into the presence of the queen, who received him kindly, and asked him about his family. But when she began to praise the collies. and say what favorites they had become, and how kind It was of him to send them to her. the delighted nountaineer forgot his Instructions and exclaimed, heartily: ''TooJ, wumman. Whats twa coll!es atween you and mel"

Armour, scored the greatest number
OF points, getting fourteen in all. He
tied for first place in the one hundred
yard run; took first place in the two
hundred and twenty-yard run and
finished by winning the broad Jump,
and Incidentally giving Armour the
second place. In the first event Me-
Karahan seemed to win the hundred
yard dash by about three inches; but
Nixon, OF Monmouth, was right on his
heels and the judges decided the event
tie. The one point involved would
have made no difference in the final
result, however. With the broad lump
to be heard from the score stood thirty
to thirty between Armour and Knox,
three points or better being necessary
TO give Armour second place. Nc
Karahan turned the trick on his la st
Jump, covering twenty-one feet, one

ever done, and it gave Armour the
place. Nixon of Monmouth, had the
highest mark up to McKarahan 8

took second place.
