On Its Last leas.

The death Of the square piano is an
nounced in the decision of the piano
dealers, who held their annual ses-
sion in New York recently, not to ac-
cept it any longer in exchange for
newer styles in pianos. For some
years it has been generally known
that the square piano was on its last
legs, so to speak. The doom that
has now overtaken it has been ex-
pected, yet its departure to many Is
pathetic. Memories and association
cling to 1t that cannot be transplanted
TO pianos OF a different shape. It was
the heart of the household; the spot
where It stood was the gathering
place of the family and its friends.
Besides, it was something more than
a musical instrument. It was a con-
venient piece of furniture for the ac-
commodation Of newspapers, mag
azines and bric-a-brac that have now
no such general ground upon which
to meet In all its ways 1t belonged to
a different eneration.-Boston Tran

Intelligence Of Bees.

Mons. G. BONNER has informed the
French Academy Of Sciences of some
experiments. recently tried by him,
which. he thinks. demonstrate that
bees possess a kind Of collective In
telligence. One of his most interest
ing experiments was this: He placed
a lump Of hard sugar within reach
Of some bees, and near 1t a basin Of
water. The bees, finding that their
mandibles were incapable OF break
ing the sugar, organized a sort Of
bucket brigade to carry water from
the basin to the sugar. Having re-
duced it TO a sirupy state, they had
no further difficulty. But Monsieur

ments, that single bees gave no such

expense OF capture and the cost OF
training there is always danger

circus proprietor has spent hundreds

Sanger has confessed that he once
paid $1,000 cash down for six young
giraffes. Two days later two OF the
animals died, and shortly afterwards
the remaining four died also.
Barnum used TO say that only one
elephant, tiger, lion or monkey In
six which he purchased brought him
any profit, and other showmen make
similar complaints. The most aggra-
waiting part OF the business Is, how.
ever, that often when an animal has
been trained seems TO be thoroughly
used to foreign climates, and Is re-
paying some Of the money It's owner

remarkable chimpanzee. which died
some time ago In Berlin. This anil
NAL was insured for $4,000, and
was earning G100 to f150 week
when It died. Furthermore, Mr..
Bostock has booked contracts for II
to appear at price OF $500 per

Luckily Mr.. Bostock was able TO
discover two other exceptionally fine
specimens OF the chimpanzee tribe,
which he has named Consul I. and

cleverest animal OF the two, will APP

Because OF the terrible damage
wrought by hail in some parts OF Eu-
rope, scientists have directed their
attention 10 designing a means by
which the outbreak OF hail could be
prevented, and some success has been
obtained by the use of hail guns,
firing a shot OF either gunpowder or
acetylene against the hail cloud and
thus dispensing It.

the installation of these guns have

some form of exercise which we can

games. We have an excellent oppor-
tunity to experiment.
There is ground for the criticism
that a too prominent place and too
absorbing attention are given to In
tercollegiate athletic competition, but
unless It can be shown that these
sports materially detract from the
more important duties and scholastic
advancement in college life, there is
no reason why the ban should be
placed upon this very popular phase
OF athletics. Doubtless not a few stu
dents who devote so much time to
athletics suffer from the lack of the
mental culture for which their college
courses are primarily designed. but it
is also true that some who make repu
tation as players OF football also at
tain high proficiency in their studies.
intercollegiate competition in ath-
letics seems for one thing TO intensity

brings the public, especially of the
local environment to closer touch
