Senses of Insects.

Insects guide themselves in fight al
host entirely and on the ground partly
by means of their faceted eyes. The
nntennae and the buccal sensory Or
ganS cannot help in aerial steering.
Insects perceive the motion of o.
jects particularly WE'LL. e., the dis
placements of visual images relatively
to the compound eye. They therefore
see better when on the wing than at
rest, for during flight the image of i'm
mobile objects is displaced relatively
TO the eye.
Insects distinguish the contours and
forms of objects only more or less in
distinctly.
Insects appreciate the direction and
distance of objects very clearly during
flight by the aid of their compound
eyes They can also appreciate. even
when at rest, the distance of immobile
objects.
Certain insects (bees, bumblebees)
distinguish color clearly and recognize
colors better than forms. Among
others (wasps) the perception of color
appears on the contrary, to be very

TIE Japs as Jokers.

In the days of the second empire
Baron eros was sent to Japan to de-
mand the opening of certain ports to
French commerce. Among the rest he
named to the Japanese ministers GER
tain city. The japanese functionaries
smiled so broadly when he preferred
the request that the French ambassa-
dor asked them to tell him what gave
them so much amusement. but instead
of answering the Japanese ministers
said:
We will open the port in question.
my lord, if France in her turn will
open q certain port to u.s.
What port is that?" asked the
Frenchman.
The port of Liverpool"
But, your excellencies," laughing,
Liverpool is not a French port. but
an English one"
"Yes." answered the Japanese, land
the port you named is rot in Japan.
but in Korea"
The French ambassador was com
PEELED to admit that the joke was
against him.-London Answers.

The Submarine Crew.

Not until you have gone down in
submarine and seen the crew at work
can you say you have seen the limit to
which it is possible to drill human
creatures. No crack company of regi-
ment. no fire company in any Of our
big cities. not even the engine force on
a man-of-war. is under such discipline
as the crew of submarine. The navy
department and the men themselves
realize that months are required before
even the most capable group of ten
can be made to work as unit, perfect
as clockwork. There is no time to
"break in crews when once war Is de-
clared, and for this reason the subma-
rine service is continually and inces-
sanity in war practice. Practice runs
in the ordinary sense do not exist.
Each time the boat stands out to sea
she goes as if for business. the scenes
you see being exactly like those that
would be enacted were the vessel bent
upon actually sinking an enemy.-St
Nicholas.

LONDON, Sept 29,-Again comes the
report that the beautiful and indie
pendent Princess Patricia Of England is

her to King Manuel, the boy ruler of
Portugal.
When King Alfonso of Spain was
seeking a wife and his court believed
al English princess would be a suitable
consort, he went over to Great Britain
with the full purpose OF winning Prin-
cess Patricia This high-spirited girl
has had many royal suftors, and she
had tipped her pretty nose high in the
air at each and every one of them
The young King Of Spain, however,
was confident that she would not refuse
an ofrer to share the throne with him,
and he pressed his suit
Rejected Alfonso.
Never had the pert little nose Of Prin-
cess Pat gone as high as it did when
Alfonso offered her his heart and hand.
She not only gave him an unmistalk-
able look Of disdain. but also a full
view of the back OF her pretty head.

solace to the Princess Ina, who later
became his bride
There IS no more naughty and no more
ml5chievous princess in all Europe than
Princess Pat" She can be either
when she. chooses, and nobody ever
knows which it is going TO be.
IN the life Of this very attractive
young royal person, there is a romance
hidden deep, but which is known all
over Europe. The princess has long
been known to have given her heart to
the dashing young Marquis Of AngIessy.

was said to have been a thorn in the
side Of the young princess, who re- |
