The Warming SIGNALS,

A Boston physician tells a story of
youngster of his own that an over
strenuous vacation had put on the sick
list. The father had an appropriate
prescription filed and left the bottle
with the child's mother. AS she, how
ever is very forgetful, he gave her
chart and suggested that she set down
the hours when the medicine should
be given, checking off each dose as
taken. Upon returning from his even
ing calls. however, he found the chart
blank.
Good gracious, Maryw he exclaim-
ed. Surely you haven't failed to give
Tom his medicine"
"Oh, no. l did not miss a single
time" his wife assured him.
How in the world did you remem-
Der it without the chart?" he asked.
She smiled.
"That was easy. l just told Tom
this morning at what hours he was to
have it, and half an hour before each
time he would begin hallooing that he

Experiments on living animals We're
made by Galen CA d. 100 and by the
Greek Alexandrian school and were
regarded as a valuable source Of
knowledge until the breakup of the
Roman empire. In modern times vivi-
section may be said to have begun
with the experiments of DIR. William

less generally practiced since the be-
ginning of the nineteenth century,

various societies for the prevention of

A CINGALESE DAINTY.
Ceylon White Ants and Their Numer-
Gus Natural Enemies.

Gus Natural Enemies.
1t is estimated that two-thirds Of the
island of Ceyon is undermined by
white ants. The number of these in
sects is certainly quite incalculable, but
it is fortunate that their natural enc
mics are almost as numerous
The workers are preyed upon by true
ants and many other insects by spi-
ders. lizards and centipeds; by rats,
mice and palm squirrels. But it is
the adult winged insects that are espe-
cially victimized 1t is probable that
scarcely l per cent of the mature in
sects survive the dangers of the Pc
riodic fights.
They run the gantlet of nearly ev-
cry other animal. Birds, bats, SOUR
rels, rats, toads and lizards all flock
to the feast. Dogs and cats eat the
winged ants with avidity.
Gwen man himself does not disdain
to participate, says z. E. Green. "The
Tamil cody looks upon a mess of
fried termltes as great dainty, and 1
have several European acquaintance
who consider that termites on toast
form a dish worthy of more general
inclusion in the menu. They are said
to taste not unlike mushrooms" -Agri-

While there has never been an in
stance in which the president and the
vice president chosen with him have
both died in the course of the term for
which they were chosen, this came
very near happening in the term for
which Harrison and Tyler were
elected. When Tyler was serving as
president after the death of Harrison,
he had an extremely narrow escape
from death by the explosion of the big

Der of men help themselves to papers
mt an unattended newsstand where
some men laid down the exact price
OF their purchase, others made change
for themselves and still others walked
away without paying. He was told
that the last named group were custom
ers who paid only once a week, but
that no one ever failed to pay.
TO demonstrate his contention that
''most people are honest in this coun-
try" the Americanized German took
his visitor that day to a restaurant
where both were unknown, and when
they had finished their luncheon the
host went to the cashiers desk with
his check and said he had no money
with him, but would pay the next
day.
The cashier gave the couple a hasty
glance and said, "All right; I'll take
chance" and the men started for the
street. At the door right about face
movement was executed, the check was
paid, a good cigar was handed to the
cashier, to whom the plot was re-
