PHILADELPHIA, June Set is great
sport to hunt insects and examine them
through a microscope, but it is a very
different kind Of game when the insects
take their turn and investigate the in
investigator.
SoIner hing OF this kind was in the
mind OF Andrew Ashburton, an entomoI-
oSical student, yesterday when he ap-
piled TO the Samaritan Hospital for
treatment. He also experienced a feeling
OF keen regret at the impotence which
may have prevented a discovery which
would have meant much 70 mankind.

and other little gems for his collection
at home. While he was eXam,n-
ing a swarm of winged ants with sCien-

face and promptly get busy.
Throwing science and philosophy TO
the winds. Ashburton swung on the
thing. Later. when he became curious
as 70 the nature of the insect, it was
too late. He had smashed II all over his

Henry Bradley give some very interest

into the language.
1t is curious to see how a new word
extends our vocabulary. For instance
the discovery Of photography has led
TO ga words being added to the Ian
guage- Dr. Murray fixes March IA
1889, as the birthday Of the word

that Sir John Herschel used it in a
paper which he read before the ROYAL
Society. The new word took root IN
France, and two or three months later.
when ArgO made his report to the
chamber Of deputies concerning the
pension Of NJ. Daguerre, he quoted

word
Mr.. Craigie traces the word "Renais-
