last February a growth appeared
in his mouth which developed into
a cancer. Five operations we're
performed, one at Sioux City and
four at Rochester, Mimi, but the
growth continued and for several
months he has endured intense
suffering until death came as a re-

The Insect and the Net,

It has been known for a long time
that an insect will not fly through a
net with meshes three or four times as
large as its body. whereas G bird will
go through a mesh Of corresponding
size without hesitation. The insect can
not tell US why it stops and lights on
the net without trying to go through,
and it's peculiar action puzzled observ-
ers until the scientists took the matter
up, as they do all things of that kind.
They say that the eye Of the insect is
made up of many facets. so that the
net looks to it like a continuous opaque
surface. the meshes not being appar.
ent. Therefore it stops or turns back
before it discovers that it might have
gone through the net without stopping
To the eye of the bird. however. the
meshes are plainlyGyisible, and it goes
through without hesitation.
