Tribute to GEN. Howard.

All soldiers In this country whether
Grand Army men or otherwise, and
doubtless citizens generally, have re-
garded with favor the movement to
place Maj. Gen. Oliver o. Howard on
the retired list OF the army as lieuten-
ant general. Gen. Howard was one
OF the ablest and most efficient com
manders OF the large bodies of troops
during the civil war, and he received
the thanks of congress for his meri-
torious service. He lost an arm while
fighting In one of the battles OF the
union. He Is an American of the
finest type. his personal qualities be.
Ing even more highly esteemed than
his skill as warrior. A Christian
gentleman and a man OF ph1lanthropic
soul, he has been enlisted In various
good causes In civil life. Few mem
bers OF the military establishment
have been so broad-minded. or have
taken 80 wide an interest in the az
fairs OF the time as he. He is also
scholar OF no mean merit, and has
written a number OF very excellent
books. Gen. Howard was retired with
the rank OF major general in 1894. and
many think that this latest recogni-
ton OF him has been too long de-
layed.

the Endorsement OF Gov. Johnson in

Bryan absolutely repudiated the let

Senses Of Insects.

Insects guide themselves in digit ri.
most entirely and on the ground partly
by means of their faceted eyes. The
antennae and the buccal sensory or
gans cannot help in aerial steering.
Insects perceive the motion Of OBJ
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 al
rest, for during fight the image of im
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 ever
when at rest, the distance Of immobile
objects.
Certain insects (bees. bumblebees
distinguish color clearly and recognize
coIors better than forms. Among
others (wasps) the perception of color
appears. on the contrary. to be very
